Trivino (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Wednesday.

Trivino is finally ready for game action after undergoing Tommy John surgery in May 2023. His rehab assignment will likely be a lengthy one, but the reliever could provide aid in a middle-inning role out of the Yankees bullpen down the stretch.

Bautista (elbow) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Bautista threw off the mound for the first time since he had Tommy John surgery last October. He has already been ruled out for a return in 2024, but Bautista should be in store for a relatively normal offseason and enter spring training with little-to-no restrictions.

Brewer (hand) threw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

It would appear to be the first time he's faced hitters since he suffered a fractured left hand in early July when he punched the dugout wall. Brewer is on the 60-day injured list and not eligible to return until early September.

Holderman (wrist) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

The reliever could progress to facing hitters soon and it would appear he'll have a shot to be activated from the 15-day injured list when first eligible on Aug. 23. Holderman has been out with a right wrist sprain.

Hendriks (elbow) could begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Hendriks got through his third live batting practice session Wednesday, tossing 24 pitches while flashing a fastball that sat around 93-to-94 miles per hour, according to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe, With Hendriks coming out of the live BP session feeling good about his health, he estimated that he'll require about 6-to-8 appearances during his rehab assignment before being activated from the 60-day injured list. Hendriks is coming back from Tommy John surgery, which he had last August.

Jimenez (oblique) allowed two earned runs on two hits, a walk, a hit batsman and a wild pitch over one-plus inning in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Oklahoma City on Tuesday. He struck out one.

Jimenez saw his ERA dinged for the first time in his three minor-league rehab appearances, as he allowed one run on a wild pitch in the sixth before being charged with a second run after getting the hook following an inning-opening walk in the seventh. The poor control pushed Jimenez's pitch count up to 27, his highest yet by far during his time with the Aviators. It remains to be seen if the Athletics will deem the reliever ready for return despite the rough outing, or whether they'll give Jimenez at least one opportunity to reset himself.

Adams (1-2) got the win against the Mets on Tuesday, firing a scoreless fifth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.

Adams took over after Joe Boyle exited following 85 pitches over four-plus frames, and the former was able to stop the proverbial bleeding after the Mets had pulled to within three runs. Dating back to July 19, Adams now has scoreless efforts in 10 of his last 11 trips to the mound, posting a 1.04 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 11.4 K/9, Tuesday's victory and five holds across a span of 8.2 innings.

The Red Sox placed Booser on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with left elbow inflammation, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Booser failed to retire any of the three batters he faced in Tuesday's win over the Rangers, but it appears his elbow might have been bothering him in the outing. It's not clear at this point how much time he might miss. Brennan Bernardino was called up from Triple-A Worcester to replace Booser in the bullpen.

The Red Sox recalled Bernardino from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Bernardino was just sent down to the minors over the weekend but is back to absorb the roster spot of Cam Booser (elbow), who was placed on the injured list. The 32-year-old has pitched well for most of the season for the Red Sox but had struggled of late before being optioned with a 12.54 ERA over his last 12 appearances.

Atlanta designated Dunshee for assignment Wednesday.

The club needed to free up a spot on its 40-man roster for the return of Michael Harris (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list, and Dunshee ended up being the casualty. Dunshee made his major-league debut last week, allowing five runs in a 2.1-inning relief appearance against the Brewers.
