Paredes struck out four and allowed one earned run on three hits and one walk across two innings of relief in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Cubs.

Paredes had started in each of his final five appearances of the first half, but the Twins elected to shift him to the bullpen coming out of the All-Star break. Minnesota still has an opening in its rotation while Connor Prielipp (finger) remains on the injured list, but the team looks as though it will go in a different direction when the fifth spot comes up again Tuesday in Cleveland. Paredes went 0-2 and turned in a 4.50 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB in 22 innings over his five starts.

Prielipp (finger) struck out three and allowed no hits and one walk over three scoreless innings Sunday in a rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul.

Prielipp was lifted after tossing 32 pitches (20 strikes) in the rehab appearance, his first since he landed on the shelf July 9 due to a blister on his left middle finger. The southpaw shouldn't be in line for an extended stay on the shelf, but the Twins may want him to build up his pitch count over one more start in the minors before he returns from the 15-day injured list and slots back into the Minnesota rotation.

Hall (pectoral) struck out a batter and allowed one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning Sunday in a rehab start with High-A Wisconsin.

After making it through a 20-pitch live batting practice session Thursday without incident, Hall was cleared to kick off a rehab assignment. The southpaw has been on the shelf since June 5 due to a pectoral strain, so he may require another tune-up outing or two in the minors before settling back into the Milwaukee bullpen.

Carroll suffered a hyperextended right elbow during Sunday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Cardinals, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

Carroll sustained the injury in the seventh inning when he struck out swinging in what would be his final at-bat of the contest. The outfielder is considered to be day-to-day according to manager Torey Lovullo, and Carroll will not require any additional imaging while he has a chance to play Monday against the Athletics. Fantasy managers everywhere can all breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Williams (elbow) struck out three and allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks across 3.1 innings in a rehab start Sunday with High-A Wilmington.

Williams has now made five rehab starts across stops at five different affiliates, compiling a 4.09 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 11 innings. The 3.1 innings and 60 pitches Williams handled Sunday marked the highest totals of his rehab assignment, as the Nationals are seemingly having him build up slowly in his return from internal brace surgery. Given the unremarkable results he's submitted thus far during his time in the minors in addition to rehabbing starter Jake Irvin (shoulder) also closing in on a return from the 60-day injured list, Williams may not be in line for a spot in the Washington rotation once he's activated.

Irvin (shoulder) struck out five and allowed one hit and no walks over 4.2 scoreless innings Sunday in a rehab start with Double-A Harrisburg.

Making the second start of his rehab assignment, Irvin built up to 51 pitches (35 strikes) while facing one batter over the minimum. The right-hander has looked strong in the minors thus far as he works his way back from a shoulder strain, as he's yet to allow a run and has posted an 8:0 K:BB across 7.2 innings. He'll likely need to get stretched out to around 70-to-80 pitches over the course of one or two more rehab starts before returning from the 60-day injured list.

White went 0-for-2 with a walk in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Nationals.

White made his major-league debut in Friday's series opener, going 1-for-4 with a double. After being held out of the lineup for Saturday's 15-1 win, White re-entered the starting nine at first base Sunday and went hitless but drew his first major-league walk in the bottom of the seventh inning. White will likely continue to see work at both first base and third base in the absence of Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee).

Beeter allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two over 1.1 innings to earn the save in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

Beeter cleaned up a mess inherited from Tom Cosgrove in the eighth inning. In the ninth, the Athletics were able to scrape together a run, but Beeter never let the game get dangerous as he closed out his eighth save and his first since July 6. The reliever had allowed just one run over nine innings between June 9 and July 10 before a meltdown versus the Yankees on July 11. For the season, he has a 3.77 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB through 28.2 innings while adding eight saves, five holds and five blown saves.

Griffin allowed one run on eight hits and one walk while striking out two over seven innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Griffin gave up three doubles among the eight hits but was mostly able to keep the Athletics' offense in check. The All-Star break hasn't slowed him down -- he's allowed exactly one run in eight straight starts, covering 50.1 innings with a 46:6 K:BB in that span. For the season, he's maintained an excellent 2.68 ERA with a 1.03 WHIP and 111:27 K:BB through 117.1 innings over 20 starts. He'll look to keep the hot streak going in a home start versus the Diamondbacks next weekend.

Carroll was removed from Sunday's contest against the Cardinals in ninth inning with an undisclosed injury, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Carroll was spotted grimacing after striking out swinging in his fourth at-bat of the day in the seventh inning, and he was replaced at the plate by Jorge Barrosa with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. Carroll finished his day having gone 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts, and more information on the exact diagnosis of his injury will likely be provided in the near future.
