Coleman was promoted to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Coleman will make the jump to the Triple-A level after posting a 2.88 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with 37 strikeouts over 25 innings in 18 appearances with Double-A New Hampshire this season. If the southpaw impresses with Buffalo, there's a strong chance that Coleman will get a shot with the major-league roster this year.

Yesavage (4-5) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out nine.

Yesavage overpowered the Chicago bats at times, generating a whopping 21 whiffs on the afternoon, and he hung on for a quality start after the White Sox plated a pair of runs in the sixth inning. The nine punchouts were a season high for the right-hander, who has now logged three quality starts in his past four outings. Yesavage has been wild occasionally, walking at least five in four of his last nine appearances, but he's still maintained a healthy 3.78 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 78:41 K:BB over 81 innings this year.

Burke (7-4) notched the win Sunday against Toronto, allowing no runs on two hits and one walk in 6.2 innings. He struck out five.

Burke was dominant Sunday, scattering two singles across 6.2 shutout innings. The 26-year-old right-hander is on an excellent run on the mound, tossing at least 5.1 frames while yielding two runs or fewer in six consecutive starts and posting a sterling 47:6 K:BB during that span. Burke will take a strong 3.20 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 120:34 K:BB over 112.1 innings into his next scheduled outing against Houston.

Wolfram tossed a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Astros. He did not record a strikeout.

With Tyler Wells and Andrew Kittredge unavailable, Wolfram was called upon in the ninth inning and recorded his first career save on just 12 pitches. On the year, the 29-year-old Wolfram owns a 4.55 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB to go along with 11 holds and one save across 29.2 innings.

Triple-A Charlotte reinstated Smith (shoulder) from its 7-day injured list Sunday.

The 22-year-old lefty will rejoin the Triple-A club after a five-week stint on the shelf due to a left shoulder impingement. Over 15 starts with Charlotte this season, Smith has submitted a 4.58 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 84:37 K:BB across 57 frames.

Schuemann is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Dodgers.

Schuemann will hit the bench for the night after he went 0-for-3 while starting in right field in the Yankees' 8-2 loss in Game 1. Jasson Dominguez served as the Yankees' designated hitter in the early game but will replace Schuemann in right field for the nightcap.

Cantillo (8-5) took the loss against the Pirates on Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks with seven strikeouts over five innings.

Cantillo entered the sixth inning aiming for a potential quality start but allowed back-to-back doubles to open the frame and was charged with two runs without recording an out. It ended a run of six straight outings in which the 26-year-old allowed two earned runs or fewer, though he still generated a whopping 17 swinging strikes on 80 pitches. He'll take a 3.74 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 112:52 K:BB across 106 innings this season into a road matchup with the Rays next weekend.

Mize exited Sunday's start against the Angels in fourth inning after being struck in the left hand by a comebacker, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Mize entered the bottom of the fourth inning having tossed three innings of one-run ball before he took a 108.8 mph ground ball from Jo Adell off his glove hand to open the frame. The right-hander was able to finish the play, throwing out Adell at first base, but Mize was then forced to exit the game. He was already up to 74 pitches on the day, and it's possible that his removal was simply precautionary. More information on the status of Mize moving forward will likely come in the near future.

The Yankees recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Dodgers.

Appointed as the Yankees' 27th man for the twin bill, Rodriguez appears set to make his first appearance as a reliever after he worked as a starter in his prior four big-league outings. Lefty Ryan Yarbrough is opening the game for the Yankees, but he hasn't worked more than three innings in any appearance this season and will likely be in line for an abbreviated start before the Yankees turn the game over to Rodriguez and their other relief arms. Over his first 17 big-league innings, Rodriguez has pitched to a 4.76 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 10:11 K:BB.

Yarbrough will operate as the Yankees' opening pitcher for the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Yarbrough, a southpaw, will face at least two left-handed batters in Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman, while three of the top five batters in the Dodgers' lineup are left-handed. After Yarbrough's night comes to an end, Elmer Rodriguez figures to follow out of the bullpen. Yarbrough has posted a 3.72 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 9.2 frames in his last eight appearances, and he hasn't exceeded two innings in an appearance since June 16.
