Boyd did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Brewers, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three over 5.1 innings.

Boyd kept Milwaukee off the board through four innings before three singles produced a run in the fifth. He allowed two runners to reach in the sixth before exiting, and both eventually came around to score. It marked just the second time in his last 11 starts that Boyd failed to complete six innings. The left-hander now owns a 4.05 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 79:31 K:BB across 102.1 innings this season and is slated to face Miami next on Sunday.

Gasser did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings.

Gasser allowed just one hit through the first three innings before running into trouble in the fourth, when three consecutive batters reached to open the frame. An error by Gasser compounded the damage as Chicago pushed across three runs in the inning. The left-hander has now failed to complete five innings in three of his last five starts. He owns a 4.57 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 82:27 K:BB across 86.2 innings this season and is slated for a rematch with the Cubs in his next start.

The Rays plan to reinstate Jax (elbow) from the 15-day injured list and have him start Wednesday's game against the Mets at Tropicana Field, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The right-hander threw 42 pitches across three innings during his lone rehab start Aug. 23 with Triple-A Durham, then completed a four-inning simulated game Friday, per MLB.com. With Jax's right elbow checking out fine following the sim game, he's been cleared to rejoin the Tampa Bay rotation, though he could have some light workload limitations in place Wednesday. The 31-year-old pitched incredibly well over his last three starts before landing on the IL on Aug. 9, logging a 1.62 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 23:4 K:BB across 16.2 frames.

The Orioles designated Weston for assignment Tuesday.

Baltimore selected Weston's contract from Norfolk in late May, and he's had two brief stints in the majors this season. He made his MLB debut May 28 with a scoreless frame against Toronto but has now lost his place on the 40-man roster without making another appearance.

Arozarena went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer during Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Red Sox.

Jedixson Paez made his major-league debut Tuesday, but the Mariners jumped on the Red Sox's 22-year-old right-hander with five runs in the second inning, three of which came off the bat of Arozarena on a homer over the Green Monster. Arozarena has gone 5-for-10 with two home runs, seven RBI and four runs scored through the first two games of the series against Boston. For the season, he has an .837 OPS with 20 steals, 22 home runs and 65 RBI over 566 plate appearances.

Montes went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 9-6 win over Boston.

Montes was promoted from Triple-A Tacoma ahead of his major-league debut Tuesday, serving as the designated hitter. His RBI single in the third inning was his first big-league hit before he belted a 407-foot solo homer to center field in the fifth to give the Mariners a commanding 9-1 lead. Although he was the DH on Tuesday, Montes should see plenty of reps in right field given Taylor Ward's recent struggles at the plate.

White will sit out the Athletics' next couple of games after exiting Tuesday's contest with back soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

White doesn't seem to be facing a trip to the injured list just yet, but the A's will give him a few days off to rest before re-evaluating him to see how much progress he's made in his recovery. Jeff McNeil is likely to move back to first base as a result, opening up second-base reps for Michael Stefanic or Alika Williams.

Woo (10-9) earned the win against the Red Sox on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out seven across six innings.

Mickey Gasper hit a solo homer in the first inning, but Woo settled in to keep the Red Sox off the board for the rest of his outing. It was the third time in eight starts that Woo struck out at least seven batters, and he did enough to come away with his 14th quality start of the season, which is tied for sixth-most in the American League. He'll take a 4.25 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 148.1 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend at home against the Athletics.

Prielipp (4-7) earned the win Tuesday against the Tigers, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out five over five scoreless innings of relief.

Prielipp entered after opener Andrew Morris allowed a run in the first inning. Prielipp kept Detroit off the board for the next five frames, throwing 47 of 73 pitches for strikes. It marked the first scoreless outing of Prielipp's young career and his 11th consecutive appearance of at least five innings, though the left-hander has posted an unimpressive 5.37 ERA during that stretch. His next turn through the rotation is expected to come Monday in a rematch with the Tigers.

Martin (finger) will return from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Astros in Houston, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Martin landed on the IL on Aug. 14 due to a blister on his right middle finger, and after throwing five shutout innings during a rehab outing at Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, he's received the green light to return to Chicago's rotation. The 29-year-old righty had struggled over his last five starts before hitting the shelf, going 0-1 with a 9.95 ERA and 1.63 WHIP across 19 innings.
