Brieske (elbow) tossed a no-hit scoreless inning out of the bullpen in his most recent rehab outing Saturday with High-A West Michigan, issuing one walk in a 17-pitch appearance.

Though he was a full-time starter in the minors and majors in 2021 and 2022, Brieske has now made a pair of one-inning appearances in both of his first two rehab outings as he works his way back from the hydrodissection procedure he underwent in April to treat a nerve issue in his right elbow. The Tigers haven't clarified that they intend to bring Brieske back from the 60-day injured list as a reliever, but with rehabbing starters Tarik Skubal (elbow) and Matt Manning (foot) both on similar timelines for activation, Detroit might not have room in the rotation for Brieske anyway.

Jackson (elbow) has apparently reached the point where he is pain-free and will begin throwing next week, the team's official site reports.

The right-hander's right flexor tendon strain has been slow to improve, but Jackson is now on the precipice of a throwing program. The 28-year-old could be ready to head out on a rehab assignment by the end of the month if he remains free of setbacks.

Beeks is listed as the Rays' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

Though the team hasn't confirmed as much, Yonny Chirinos is likely to operate as a bulk reliever behind Beeks, who will be making his seventh start of the season. In his previous six starts, Beeks has covered between 1.2 and three innings on each occasion while pitching to a cumulative 2.13 ERA and 1.03 WHIP.

Lange (4-2) tossed a scoreless 10th inning and earned a win over Atlanta on Monday.

Lange needed just four pitches to work a clean inning and earned the win after Detroit walked off in the 10th. He was crushed with seven runs over his previous three outings but clearly the Tigers still trust him in a late-inning role. He's sporting a 3.29 ERA and 37:14 K:BB through 28 appearances.

Yarbrough (head) will throw a three-inning live batting practice Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

The Royals placed Yarbrough on the injured list May 8 after he got hit in the head by a line drive, and they later shifted him to the 60-day IL. He won't be eligible to return until July, but Wednesday's session will be useful in determining next steps for the 31-year-old southpaw.

Taylor (shoulder) will throw live batting practice Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

After throwing a bullpen session Sunday, Taylor will progress to facing live hitters for the first time since landing on the IL in late May. He will likely require a few more throwing sessions and a rehab assignment before making his return.

Staumont (neck) played catch Monday and will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

MRI results revealed Staumont's neck strain wasn't as severe as initially thought, so the 29-year-old reliever began throwing slightly ahead of schedule. He will likely require multiple bullpen sessions before heading on a rehab assignment, meaning he's likely to return near the beginning of July.

The Mariners selected Adcock from Double-A Arkansas on Monday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

With Penn Murfee (elbow) headed back to the injured list, the Mariners will call on Adcock to fill Murfee's spot in the bullpen. The 26-year-old righty has been impressive in Double-A, logging a 2.08 ERA, 0.62 WHIP, two saves and 13 strikeouts in 13 innings across 12 appearances. Robbie Ray (elbow) was moved to the 60-day injured list to make room for Adcock on the 40-man roster.

The Mariners placed Murfee on the 15-day injured list Monday with right elbow inflammation, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Murfee spent over a month on the IL with right elbow inflammation before returning Sunday. Now, he will be shelved for another 15 days with a similar injury. Because this is now Murfee's second elbow injury already this season, it's possible he's facing another extended absence. Ty Adcock was selected from Double-A Arkansas to fill Murfee's roster spot.

Bradford appears likely to start for the Rangers on Tuesday against the Angels in place of Jon Gray (blister), Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Manager Bruce Bochy wouldn't reveal Gray's replacement when asked Monday, but Bradford was spotted at Globe Life Field. The left-hander has been roughed up for eight runs over 10 innings in two starts with the Rangers this season, although he's posted a 1.82 ERA in 10 outings with Triple-A Round Rock.
