Tate (forearm/elbow) will restart a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Tate had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment due to a stress reaction in his right elbow, an injury which he says was a result of the buildup from his flexor strain, the issue which first sent him to the injury list. The reliever has been out all season.

Brieske's (elbow) rehab assignment was transferred to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Brieske fared well in his two appearances with High-A West Michigan, throwing two scoreless innings while striking out two batters and walking one. He'll pitch an inning during Toledo's game Tuesday and will likely make a few additional rehab appearances before rejoining the Tigers.

White was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

White is taking Garrett Hill's spot in the bullpen. The right-hander's first appearance will be his major-league debut.

Hill was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Hill threw 2.2 innings in Monday's win over Atlanta, so he wasn't going to be available to pitch for a day or two. Brendan White is taking his spot in the bullpen.

Bachman was credited with his first MLB win in Monday's 9-6 victory over the Rangers in 12 innings after striking out one while giving up one hit and walking one in two scoreless frames out of the bullpen.

The Angels likely aren't ready to pull the plug on developing Bachman as a starter, but he's quickly become an integral member of the bullpen since being called up from Double-A Rocket City in late May for his MLB debut. In six outings in relief, Bachman has compiled a 0.90 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 8:8 K:BB in 10 innings. The poor WHIP and strikeout-to-walk ratio are warning signs that Bachman may be pitching over his head, but he could end up seeing more opportunities in higher-leverage spots nonetheless while the Angels are without two key late-innings arms in Ben Joyce (elbow) and Matt Moore (oblique).

White has joined the Tigers in Detroit, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

The Tigers could use a fresh bullpen arm, so it sounds like White will be recalled prior to Tuesday's game against Atlanta. White was up briefly with the big club earlier this season but didn't make an appearance. When he does get into a game, it will be his major-league debut.

Bradford will be promoted from Triple-A Round Rock to start for the Rangers on Tuesday versus the Angels at Globe Life Field.

He's stepping into the rotation in place of Jon Gray (finger), who will have to miss at least one start while he tends to a blister. Bradford threw 99 pitches over eight innings for Round Rock this past Friday, so he figures to be relatively limited from a pitch-count perspective while he takes the hill on three days' rest rather than the typical four. Owen White will also be called up from Double-A Frisco to provide length out of the bullpen.

White will be recalled by the Rangers prior to Tuesday's game against the Angels, Ken Rosenthal and Sam Blum of The Athletic report.

White will be available out of the bullpen, with Cody Bradford slated to start in place of Jon Gray (blister). White, 23, has posted a 3.54 ERA and 45:22 K:BB over 53.1 innings covering 11 starts with Double-A Frisco this season. He was added to Texas' 40-man roster over the offseason and will be making his major-league debut whenever he gets into a game.

Mills' scheduled live batting practice session on June 9 was canceled due to continued soreness in his right elbow, MLB.com reports.

"He wasn't feeling great, and he will be down a few days," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. Mills has been out all season with right elbow inflammation and this is the second setback he's experienced. He should be considered out indefinitely.

Schreiber (shoulder) threw up to 75 feet on June 9, MLB.com reports.

Schreiber will continue with a daily progression of flat-ground work until he is cleared to throw off a mound. He has been sidelined for nearly a month with a right teres major strain and looks to be at least a couple weeks away from a return.
