Hudson (elbow) will make another rehab start with Double-A Springfield on Tuesday, Jim Hayes of Bally Sports Midwest reports.

Hudson delivered 43 pitches over 2.2 innings during his last rehab outing with Springfield on Thursday, and he's slated to throw 50-to-60 pitches in Tuesday's start. According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the right-hander is scheduled for three more rehab appearances, including Tuesday's contest, so he's likely still a couple weeks away from rejoining the Cardinals.

Misiewicz (forearm), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, secured his 16th hold in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday by firing a scoreless eighth inning during which he allowed a hit and issued a walk.

Manager Scott Servais wasted no time getting one of his trusted bullpen options back into action, and Misiewicz gave his previously ailing forearm a good test by firing 21 pitches during his one frame. The southpaw should be set to resume his usual heavy workload moving forward, having already logged 55 appearances this season.

Swanson recorded his fifth hold in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday, firing a perfect seventh inning.

It's been a bit of a rocky road for Swanson during the second half of the season, with the right-hander giving up multiple runs in three appearances. Swanson had also yielded at least one run in four of his previous five trips to the mound entering Saturday, but the quick work he made of the Diamondbacks in his first appearance in a week was a reminder of how effective he's often been in a season during which he's forged a 2.48 ERA and 1.00 WHIP.

Estevez allowed one run on a hit and no walks while striking out one in one inning to earn the save in Saturday's win over Atlanta.

Saturday's outing marked the first time Estevez gave up a run since July 28, but he still preserved the lead to pick up his third save in his last five outings. The right-hander has taken on ninth-inning duties recently since Daniel Bard was removed due to struggles, and he's performed well in high-leverage situations.

Kinley (2-2) tossed a perfect sixth inning to earn the win over Atlanta on Saturday.

Kinley has had limited fantasy value as a middle reliever this year, but he's limited run production recently and has recorded a 0.71 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in 12.2 innings across his last 11 appearances. He now has two wins and six holds in 2021 but has pitched mainly in low-leverage situations.

Underwood was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

Underwood was pulled from Saturday's loss to the Cubs with shoulder discomfort, and he'll be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. JT Brubaker (shoulder) was also placed on the IL, while Kyle Keller and Shea Spitzbarth were recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in corresponding moves.

Leone will start Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Manager Gabe Kapler will employ a bullpen game for the second consecutive day, with Leone leading the way in the series finale versus Los Angeles. The right-hander has pitched more than an inning on one occasion this season, so it's safe to say he won't pitch deep enough to qualify for a victory.

The Twins designated Law for assignment Sunday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Law, who's been on the injured list since July 17 with a right shoulder impingement, loses his 40-man roster spot to allow for Luke Farrell's return from the 60-day IL. Law has been decent with a 4.20 ERA in 15 relief innings this season, but his injury makes him unlikely to get claimed on waivers in the next couple days.

Coonrod will start Sunday's game against the Marlins, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Manager Joe Girardi will employ a bullpen game Sunday, and Coonrod will be the first reliever to take the mound. The 28-year-old hasn't pitched more than two frames in an appearance this season, and he's unlikely to pitch any deeper than that in Miami.

The Yankees recalled Abreu from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The righty was sent down to Triple-A on Aug. 29 after posting a 2.51 ERA and 17:5 K:BB in 14.1 innings during his month-long stint with the big-league club. He returns to the Bronx to help fill the bullpen void left by Jonathan Loaisiga (shoulder) going on the injured list.
