Manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Peralta (lat) has resumed throwing, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Peralta has been working out at the Brewers' extended spring training facility in Arizona over the last several days, but it's encouraging that he's now playing catch. The right-hander still faces a lengthy recovery process, as he was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday and will be ineligible to return until at least late July.

Woodruff (hand) will make a rehab start Saturday at Triple-A Nashville, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The right-hander has been cleared to return to game action after throwing a 40-pitch bullpen session Tuesday. Woodruff has been on the injured list since May 30, and it's possible that he'll be able to rejoin the Brewers following a single rehab start.

Gray is scheduled to make his next start in Saturday's home game against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Gray was lined up to make two starts at the beginning of the week, but he was ultimately scratched from his scheduled outing Monday against Atlanta since the Nationals didn't want to have him warm up a second time following a 90-minute rain delay. Rather than having Gray pitch a couple days later, the Nationals elected to skip his turn in the rotation entirely. Gray will take a 6-4 record, 4.33 ERA and 1.32 WHIP into his 13th start of the season this weekend.

Liberatore was returned to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

Liberatore made his fourth career major-league start during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Pirates, and he allowed three hits and two walks while striking out five in five scoreless innings to earn the win over Pittsburgh. However, the left-hander served as the 27th man during the twin bill and will head back to the minors after Jack Flaherty (shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Flaherty (shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's start against the Pirates.

Flaherty missed the first two and a half months of the regular season due to shoulder inflammation, but he'll make his season debut at home against the Pirates in Wednesday's series finale. The right-hander was effective over his two rehab appearances, posting a 1.29 ERA and 0.14 WHIP in seven innings. However, he tossed just 58 pitches during his most recent outing at Triple-A Memphis and will be limited to approximately 60 pitches during his return to major-league action Wednesday.

Burrows was promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Adam Babetski of the Altoona Mirror reports.

The 22-year-old righty posted a 2.94 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 69:19 K:BB in 52 innings across 12 starts at Double-A. Burrows has been fantastic for most of the season and will make his Triple-A debut Sunday.

Lodolo (back) will need two or three more rehab starts to build back up before coming off the injured list, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

According to Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer, the online box score for Lodolo's first rehab start Monday in the Arizona Complex League was incorrect, as it didn't account for a pitching change. Per Nightengale, Lodolo gave up one run on four hits and one walk while striking out two in two innings. He is expected to move to Triple-A Louisville for the rest of his rehab. Given that he will be making at least two more starts, a return around the end of June or start of July seems like the best-case scenario.

The Marlins transferred Luzardo (forearm) on Tuesday from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Luzardo has resided on the IL since May 15 due to a left forearm strain and only recently resumed throwing a few days ago, so it's not a major surprise that the Marlins elected to move him to the 60-day IL. Even if he hits no further snags in his recovery from the injury, he'll still likely need at least three weeks to get stretched back out for starting duty with the big club, so Luzardo could very well remain sidelined through the All-Star break. The transaction temporarily removes Luzardo from the 40-man roster and opens up a spot for reliever Jimmy Yacabonis, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Cabrera was placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow tendinitis Wednesday, retroactive to June 13, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Cabrera struggled during Sunday's start against the Astros, as he gave up five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two in 3.2 innings to take his first loss of the season. It's possible his injury played a role in his lackluster results, and he'll be forced to miss at least two weeks. Daniel Castano was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Wednesday's game against the Phillies, and he'll likely have a chance to remain in the rotation while Cabrera is sidelined.

The Phillies plan to call up Falter from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start one game of Friday's doubleheader in Washington, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Ranger Suarez is scheduled to start the other game of the twin bill, but the Phillies have yet to decide in what order he and Falter will take the hill. Before being sent down to Triple-A on May 29, Falter made four of his six appearances out of the bullpen, but he's worked exclusively as a starter in the minors. Over his five outings with Lehigh Valley this season, Falter has produced a microscopic 1.54 ERA and 0.69 WHIP while striking out 33.7 percent of the batters he's faced. Falter will likely be making just one start with the Phillies before he's optioned back to Triple-A.
