Miller (elbow) retired one of the five batters he faced and was charged with two runs (one earned) on three hits in his rehab appearance Friday with Triple-A Sacramento.

Making his first appearance at any level since July 2, Miller exhibited some rust but wasn't hit particularly hard; all three of the hits he allowed were singles. According to Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News, the left-hander is expected to make two more rehab appearances before slotting back into the San Francisco bullpen.

Assad (oblique) struck out four and allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks across 4.1 innings for Triple-A Iowa in the third start of his rehab assignment Wednesday.

Assad is still waiting to make his 2025 debut with the Cubs, as he was placed on the injured list coming out of spring training due to a left oblique strain, then suffered a setback in his recovery in late April following a pair of rehab starts. He was cleared to kick off a new rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break, and he's now built up to 68 pitches through three outings. Assad is likely to make at least one more rehab start before the Cubs bring him back from the 60-day IL and decide whether to use him in the rotation or as a long reliever.

Duran notched the save in Sunday's 4-2 win at Texas, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless inning with one strikeout.

The 27-year-old flamethrower worked around a one-out single to secure his third save since joining Philadelphia at the trade deadline. This marks the third consecutive season Duran has reached the 20-save plateau, as he remains one of the game's elite relievers. Through 53.1 total innings with the Phillies and Twins, the right-hander has pitched to a 1.86 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 56:18 K:BB.

The Cardinals optioned Graceffo to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.

Graceffo is the casualty from the 26-man active roster after St. Louis needed to clear a spot for right-hander Jorge Alcala, who was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox. During his latest stint in the big leagues, Graceffo made four appearances out of the St. Louis bullpen and gave up six earned runs on 10 hits and two walks over 6.1 innings.

Atlanta designated Gonzalez for assignment Sunday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

He'll surrender his spot on the 40-man roster to waiver claim Connor Seabold. A 25-year-old right-hander, Gonzalez has yet to make his MLB debut and has spent the entire 2025 season at Triple-A Gwinnett, logging a 3.95 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 39:19 K:BB in 41 innings out of the bullpen.

Atlanta claimed Seabold off waivers from Tampa Bay on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Though he'll report to Triple-A, Seabold will provide Atlanta with organizational starting pitching depth as the big club navigates numerous injuries to its rotation. Seabold made a pair of multi-inning relief appearances for Tampa Bay but has primarily worked out of the rotation at Triple-A Durham this season, logging a 6.49 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 57:26 K:BB across 61 innings.

The Phillies optioned Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Rangel will give up his spot in the bullpen to veteran right-hander David Robertson, whom the Phillies called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Over his five appearances this season, Rangel had notched a save and allowed three earned runs on 10 hits and six walks over 11 innings.

The Phillies recalled Robertson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Robertson agreed to a one-year deal with Philadelphia on July 20 and agreed to report to Triple-A as part of his ramp-up process. Over five outings with Lehigh Valley, the veteran righty allowed six earned runs on 11 hits over 5.1 frames, but he struck out three over 1.2 scoreless innings in his last two appearances. Trade-deadline acquisition Jhoan Duran is locked in as the team's new closer, but Robertson could find a spot as part of the bridge to the ninth inning.

Seymour allowed one earned run on four hits while striking out one over three innings in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Nationals.

Seymour worked in long relief once again, giving up two singles and two doubles while throwing 28 of his 44 pitches for strikes. The 26-year-old has surrendered five runs in his last eight innings and overall owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 12:4 K:BB across 14 innings in six appearances.

In four appearances since joining the Cubs at the trade deadline, Rogers has logged 3.1 scoreless innings with five strikeouts.

Rogers extended his scoreless streak Saturday against the Cardinals despite allowing a hit and a walk in his inning of relief. The lefty hasn't allowed an earned run over his last 16 appearances dating back to June 19, when he was pitching for the Reds. Rogers has a stellar 2.23 ERA and 9.7 K/9 across 36.1 innings this season, and he's slotted in as the top southpaw in Chicago's bullpen, working as a key setup option ahead of closer Daniel Palencia.
