Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Bender (lower leg) will miss the remainder of the season, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.

Bender was placed on the 15-day IL earlier Tuesday due to a right tibial stress reaction. With his season over, Bender wraps up the 2025 campaign with a career-best 2.16 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 42:21 K:BB and four saves across 50 innings of work. Bender will be eligible for arbitration in the offseason, as Miami has two more years of player control.

Miller (elbow) won't throw for two weeks before being re-evaluated, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Miller underwent an MRI this week, which showed additional left elbow inflammation. The southpaw has been sidelined since early July after suffering a left elbow sprain, and he was nearing a return to the major-league roster after making four rehab appearances with Triple-A Sacramento, but he will now remain sidelined for the foreseeable future. At this point, Miller is unlikely to be activated from the 15-day injured list until mid-September at the earliest.

Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Loaisiga (back) was pulled off his rehab assignment and sent for medical testing after experiencing soreness in his right elbow/triceps, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander has been working his way back from right mid-back tightness and delivered a scoreless frame in his first rehab outing Sunday, but he's now dealing with an arm issue. Loaisiga missed most of the previous two seasons due to injuries and has been inconsistent when available in 2025 with a 4.25 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB over 29.2 innings.

The Cubs optioned Cosgrove to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

The left-hander was called up ahead of Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader and will return to the minors after not appearing in the matinee. Cosgrove has made just two appearances in the majors this season and has a 4.66 ERA across 38.2 relief innings at Triple-A.

The Cubs recalled Wicks from Triple-A Iowa to serve as the 27th man for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

The left-hander will come up to provide some bullpen help for Tuesday's nightcap. Wicks has made just four appearances in the big leagues this year and has given up nine earned runs over 8.1 innings, though he has a 3.62 ERA in 17 outings (14 starts) for Iowa.

The Marlins recalled Gibson from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

The left-hander has spent the past 10 days at Triple-A but will rejoin the Marlins with Anthony Bender (lower leg) landing on the injured list. Gibson has recorded four holds with a 3.38 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 26:11 K:BB across 34.2 major-league innings this season.

The Marlins placed Bender on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to a right tibial stress reaction.

The right-hander made his last appearance Sunday in Boston and fired a scoreless inning to pick up a save, but he'll now be unavailable for at least the next couple weeks. Calvin Faucher, Ronny Henriquez and Lake Bachar should continue to share closing duties for Miami while Bender is sidelined.

The Yankees placed Headrick on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to a left forearm contusion.

It's unclear when Headrick sustained the injury, as he hasn't pitched since last Wednesday against the Twins. The left-hander will be eligible to be reinstated Aug. 31, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point.

The Mariners transferred Thornton (Achilles) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Sauryn Lao. Thornton is out for the season after tearing his left Achilles on July 31.

The Mariners optioned Legumina to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Legumina has collected an 11.57 ERA since the beginning of July and was knocked around for five runs in a relief outing in Monday's 12-7 loss to Philadelphia. He'll try to get back on track at Tacoma.
