The Rangers optioned Cauley to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Cauley was called up by the Rangers when MLB rosters expanded Sept. 1, and he served exclusively as a defensive replacement and pinch runner during this stint in the majors. The 23-year-old has a .207/.281/.345 slash line with one homer, one steal and 10 runs in 65 big-league plate appearances this year.

Neto went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo homer and an additional run scored during the Angels' 6-5 loss to the Nationals on Sunday.

It was a scoreless affair through three innings, but Neto put the Angels on the board with a solo homer off Jake Irvin in the fourth frame. It was Neto's third long ball in his last five games and his 26th homer of the season, tying his career high that he set last year. He has a .760 OPS with 20 steals and 73 RBI across 644 plate appearances this season.

The Rangers recalled Osuna from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

The 23-year-old spent the past month in the minors but is back with the Rangers ahead of Sunday's series finale in Arizona. Osuna has a .255/.347/.297 slash line with one homer and five steals in 220 big-league plate appearances this season.

Manager John Schneider said Sunday that Yesavage (knee) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The right-hander threw successful bullpen sessions Thursday and Sunday, clearing the way for his return to game action. If all goes well Tuesday, Yesavage could rejoin Toronto's rotation for the series opener in Baltimore on Sept. 21. He's been on the shelf since early August after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus.

Soriano picked up the save in Sunday 3-1 win over the White Sox, working around a hit and two walks in a scoreless ninth inning.

Things got dicey for Soriano in the ninth Sunday, but the right-hander managed to strand the bases loaded and earn his fourth save this season. With Riley O'Brien struggling of late, Soriano has gotten a chance to close out games down the stretch -- he's now logged saves in two of his last four appearances. Overall, Soriano sports a 4.36 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP and 63:34 K:BB across 64 innings this season.

Rodriguez did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four across 5.1 innings.

Rodriguez was able to get out of a bases-loaded situation in the first inning without giving up a run. He kept the Nationals off the board until he was tagged for two runs in the sixth, but it was still a nice bounce-back performance from the 26-year-old right-hander, who had allowed nine runs in his two outings (spanning 10 innings) prior to Sunday. Rodriguez will take a 6.10 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 87 innings into his net start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Twins.

McGreevy (7-9) earned the win Sunday over the White Sox, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out six.

McGreevy turned in another strong start Sunday, as he held the White Sox to a lone second-inning run. The right-hander has now turned in back-to-back quality starts, allowing just three earned runs across 12.2 innings in that span, after giving up 11 runs in 10 innings in his prior two outings. McGreevy's ERA now sits at 3.83 across 29 starts (160 innings) this season with a 1.24 WHIP and 112:45 K:BB. He's currently lined up to face the Nationals at home his next time out.

Aranda went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 14-4 win over the Astros.

Aranda reached 20 homers in the fourth inning before going deep again in the seventh. The performance continued a strong September for the 28-year-old, who owns a 1.058 OPS with seven extra-base hits and 10 RBI in 11 games this month. On the season, he's slashing .278/.362/.438 with 21 long balls, 89 RBI and 71 runs scored across 630 plate appearances.

Peralta (9-11) earned the win against the Astros on Sunday, allowing no hits and three walks with four strikeouts over five scoreless innings.

Peralta was spotted an early lead and held the Astros without a hit despite throwing only 49 of 86 pitches for strikes. The 30-year-old is finding his groove at the right time, winning four straight contests while yielding just two earned runs and posting three quality starts during that stretch. He owns a 3.86 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB across 44.1 innings with Tampa Bay and lines up for a home matchup with the Red Sox next weekend.

Wesneski (5-2) took the loss against the Rays on Sunday, allowing seven runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts over three innings.

Wesneski yielded three runs in the first inning and was burned by a three-run homer following a two-out error in the third. It ends a string of strong outings for the 28-year-old, who allowed just four earned runs over his previous four turns, with two quality starts. He'll take a 3.70 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB across 48.2 innings this season into a home matchup with Atlanta next weekend.
