Brieske will start Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Brieske regularly served as an opener for Detroit last season and will receive his first start of 2025 on Tuesday. The right-hander has a 4.95 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB across 20 innings this season and isn't likely to pitcher longer than an inning or two versus Chicago.

The Yankees recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

De Los Santos has permitted four runs with a 9:6 K:BB over 12 innings this season during his time with the big club. He will be used in low-leverage spots.

The Yankees activated Cruz (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Cruz was sidelined for the past two weeks with right shoulder inflammation. He'll skip a rehab assignment and go right back into a Yankees bullpen that just lost Luke Weaver (hamstring).

The Yankees placed Weaver on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamstring strain.

Weaver suffered the injury while warming up during Sunday's game against the Dodgers and is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks. Devin Williams will slide back into the closer role for the Yankees while Weaver is shelved.

The Diamondbacks recalled Henry from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

Henry spun 2.2 scoreless relief innings during his lone appearance with the Diamondbacks earlier this season. He'll provide the bullpen with some length.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said following the team's extra-inning loss to the Mets on Monday that Los Angeles currently has "no dedicated closer," Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA reports.

Though it wasn't a save situation, Scott struggled again Monday, giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk in the 10th inning to take the loss. Over the lefty's past seven outings, he's given up 12 runs (10 earned) across six frames while taking two losses and blowing three of four save chances. It's unclear how Roberts will manage ninth-inning opportunities moving forward, and while Scott may continue to notch save chances in certain matchups, more looks could go the way of Alex Vesia (who has the team's most recent save, which took place Friday versus the Yankees) and Kirby Yates (hamstring), who is on the IL but appears to be nearing a return. Michael Kopech (shoulder) racked up six regular-season saves with Los Angeles after joining the team in late July last year and could also be an option for ninth-inning work down the line; however, he hasn't yet pitched for the Dodgers this year and has an 8.53 ERA through eight minor-league rehab appearances, so he probably will be eased into high-leverage work after being activated off the IL.

The Pirates recalled Nicolas from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

The right-hander will join the Pirates on Tuesday for his second stint in the majors this season. Nicolas surrendered nine earned runs over 7.2 innings during his prior run with Pittsburgh this year and has a 5.63 ERA in 14 appearances with Indianapolis.

The Rockies recalled Chivilli from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

The right-hander was optioned to Triple-A on May 26 but will rejoin Colorado on Tuesday with Zach Agnos (personal) landing on the bereavement list. Chivilli opened the campaign in the Rockies bullpen and had a 6.14 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 21:13 K:BB across 29.1 innings prior to being demoted.

Nelson will move into the Diamondbacks' rotation following the injury to Corbin Burnes (elbow), John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Nelson has yielded just three runs over 16 innings in three starts this season, although that's come with an underwhelming 8:6 K:BB. It's not known when he will make his next start for the Diamondbacks, but his last appearance came on Saturday when he tossed four scoreless relief innings against the Nationals.

The Diamondbacks will recall Henry from Triple-A Reno prior to Tuesday's game in Atlanta, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Henry will be utilized in long relief by Arizona. The left-hander tossed 2.2 scoreless relief innings during his lone appearance with the Diamondbacks earlier this season.
