Lagrange (shoulder) is on track to be activated from the 7-day injured list for Tuesday's game at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Lagrange has been on the shelf since suffering a right shoulder sprain in early July. He began a throwing program July 28, and after pitching against live hitters Sept. 4, he's ready to take the bump Tuesday at Triple-A. The team has already communicated that the right-hander is unlikely to pitch in the big leagues this season, but it's still a positive development that he's ready to get back on the mound before the 2026 season comes to an end.

Monegro (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Monegro made his Double-A debut Friday after undergoing Tommy John surgery during the summer of 2025. He put together a decent showing against the Rumble Ponies, surrendering one run on three hits and two walks while striking out one over three innings of work.

The Tigers activated Montero (personal) from the paternity list Monday.

Montero was briefly away from the team for the birth of his daughter, but he's back with the Tigers and is tentatively lined up to face the Blue Jays on Wednesday, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. Montero has a 4-3 record across his 10 starts since the All-Star break with a 3.99 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over 49.2 innings.

Weathers (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

It's another positive step in Weather's recovery from a left forearm flexor strain that landed him on the 15-day injured list Aug. 23. The minor-league season is drawing to a close, so the 26-year-old southpaw will need a few bullpen sessions before rejoining the Yankees, which could happen before the end of the regular season.

Bieber (shoulder) will throw a side session off a mound Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Bieber hasn't pitched since Aug. 20 due to shoulder inflammation, and he'll have to build his arm back up before returning to game action. The right-hander will be up against the clock to make it back in time before the end of the regular season. He underwent an MRI on Sunday to confirm that the injury was healing, and the team was encouraged by the results of his imaging, per Hazel Mae of Sportsnet. Bieber has made just 11 starts this season, posting a 4.37 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 44:24 K:BB across 55.2 innings.

Severino (shoulder) logged a bullpen session Saturday and is expected to have a normal offseason, per MLB.com.

Severino hit the injured list May 30 due to a right shoulder strain that will ultimately keep him out of action for the remainder of the season. While the right-hander won't return to a big-league mound in 2026, he seems to be progressing well in rehab and reportedly "looked good" in Saturday's session. Severino could opt out of his contract and turn down his $22 million player option for 2027 to hit the open market, but after an injury-marred campaign, he's likely to return to the Athletics. Before hitting the shelf, the 32-year-old posted a 2-6 record with a 4.16 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 65:31 K:BB across 62.2 innings (12 starts).

Burke is expected to pitch in bulk relief behind opener Sean Newcomb in Monday's game against the Guardians, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Over his last three starts, Burke has allowed nine runs while issuing 14 walks in just 10 innings, so the White Sox will deploy the right-hander behind a lefty opener for his upcoming turn through the rotation with the hope of generating better results. Burke has previously made four appearances out of the bullpen this season, delivering a stellar 1.80 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 26:6 K:BB in 25 innings.

Miller did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits, five walks and a hit-by-pitch over five innings against the Athletics. He struck out five.

After allowing a pair of solo homers in the first inning, Miller was able to work four scoreless frames the rest of the way, though his control was poor. The right-hander has stumbled of late, going 0-4 with a 7.29 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 32:21 K:BB over his past seven outings spanning 33.1 innings. On the year, Miller owns a 4-9 record with a 4.19 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 106:34 K:BB across 107.1 innings (20 appearances). His next start is tentatively lined up for next weekend on the road against the Rockies.

Lopez did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks over 3.2 innings against the Mariners. He struck out three.

Lopez worked two scoreless frames before running into trouble in the third and fourth innings, departing at 102 pitches (63 strikes). While Sunday's showing was subpar, the southpaw has been much better in the second half, posting a 3.34 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 64:22 K:BB across 59.1 innings (11 starts) since the All-Star break. With an overall 6-4 record, 5.02 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 107:56 K:BB in 114.2 innings (25 appearances), Lopez is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Saturday against the Guardians.

Cameron took a no-decision Sunday against Boston, allowing one run on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out four.

Cameron appeared to be unfazed by Sunday's contest being pushed back almost two hours due to inclement weather, holding the Red Sox in check for six frames. The southpaw has turned his campaign around in a big way since the All-Star break, producing a 2.42 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 58:20 K:BB over his last 70.2 innings. He'll look to further build on a season 3.84 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 149:52 K:BB across 166.1 innings in his next appearance in Pittsburgh.
