Borucki (triceps) felt soreness after playing catch last week but hopes to resume throwing in the next few days, MLB.com reports.

Borucki was placed on the injured list April 7 and was not shut down for long. However, he remains without a timeline to return, and it's unclear whether he may need a rehab assignment before being activated from the injured list.

Milner walked one and struck out two batters in one inning Friday. He earned a save against the Cardinals.

Milner took the mound with a 2-1 lead in the 10th inning and finished off the contest despite having runners at first and third. It was the 33-year-old's first career MLB save. He's produced a 7:3 K:BB with a 4.15 ERA through 8.2 innings this season. Milner still appears to be outside the Brewers' main closer committee at this time.

Payamps (1-1) recorded one out and walked one batter Friday. He earned a win over the Cardinals after blowing a save chance.

Payamps entered the ninth inning with two runners on in a 1-0 game. After plunking Ivan Herrera to load the bases, he walked Brendan Donovan to let the tying run score. The Brewers would go on to win in the 10th inning, giving Payamps his first win of 2024. He's sporting a 4.70 ERA with a 6:1 K:BB through 7.2 innings.

The Rockies announced Friday that Lambert will enter the starting rotation while Kyle Freeland (elbow) is on the injured list, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Lambert failed to make the Rockies' rotation out of spring training, but Freeland's injury will give the 27-year-old righty another opportunity. Lambert has appeared in six games this year, surrendering three earned runs across 11.2 innings while striking out 10 batters and walking six. He's in line to make his first start in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus Seattle.

The Diamondbacks rescinded the option of Frias to Triple-A Reno on Friday and placed him on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Frias was initially optioned to Triple-A after allowing three earned runs without recording an out Tuesday, but a shoulder injury will put a hold on his demotion. Logan Allen and Justin Martinez were added to the big-league roster Wednesday to provide extra bullpen depth.

Megill was activated from the 7-day concussion injured list by the Brewers on Friday.

Megill has been sidelined for most of this month after suffering a concussion as a result of a fall when he fainted. He made two scoreless relief appearances on a rehab assignment and is now ready to rejoin the Brewers' relief corps. He could find himself in the mix for saves in an unsettled bullpen.

Chapman's suspension has been reduced to one game, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Chapman was initially given a two-game ban after getting into an altercation with an umpire during Monday's game versus the Mets. He will serve his one-game suspension Friday versus the Red Sox before rejoining the Pirates' bullpen Saturday.

Antone (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

The right-hander underwent season-ending surgery to repair the UCL and flexor tendon in his right elbow last week, so it was only a matter of time before he was moved to the 60-day IL. Given the nature of the procedure, Antone may not be ready to pitch in spring training next season.

Gibaut has been returned from his rehab assignment due to renewed right forearm discomfort.

Gibaut had been close to rejoining the Reds' bullpen, but now he's having his rehab assignment paused. Reds manager David Bell said the reliever had "something done" Friday which could allow him to resume a rehab assignment next week.

Allen (0-1) was tagged with Thursday's loss, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out three over 4.2 relief innings against the Giants.

Allen, who had his contract selected Wednesday to serve as a long reliever, was needed immediately. The left-hander entered to begin the third inning in place of starter Ryne Nelson, who had taken a liner off his elbow the inning before. Allen allowed all three hits and his lone run in that inning of work. He then settled in, utilizing a changeup that's been effective for him at Triple-A Reno according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, and he kept Arizona in the game before departing with two outs in the seventh and the Giants leading, 1-0. Nelson may have avoided serious injury -- X-rays came back negative -- but the club will see how he responds Friday before making any decisions. If he's unable to make his next start, scheduled for Tuesday, Allen is a sensible option as a fill-in starter.
