  • Zac Gallen SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Successful bullpen session Tuesday

    Gallen (elbow) completed a 33-pitch bullpen session in Arizona on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Gallen was able to complete the throwing session without any issues, successfully taking the next step in his recovery from right elbow inflammation. The right-hander isn't eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list until Sept. 7, so Gallen could throw another bullpen session or two before moving on to facing live hitters and eventually heading out on a rehab assignment.

  • Corbin Burnes SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Completes bullpen session

    Burnes (elbow/shoulder) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session in Arizona on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Burnes has been sidelined for the entirety of the 2026 campaign while recovering from June 2025 Tommy John surgery and a teres major strain, the latter of which resulted in him being shut down from throwing in early June. The right-hander has been throwing bullpen sessions for approximately two weeks and looks to be on track for a return from the 60-day injured list in early September.

  • Blake Snell SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Activated from IL ahead of start

    Snell (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Tuesday night against the Royals.

    Snell will officially make his return to action with the Dodgers after missing nearly three months while recovering from a procedure to remove loose bodies from his left elbow. The southpaw has made just one start with Los Angeles this season, surrendering five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out five batters over three innings May 9 versus Atlanta. Snell was able to build up to 73 total pitches in his final minor-league rehab start Aug. 4 with Triple-A Oklahoma City, so he will likely be able to handle a somewhat regular workload against Kansas City.

  • Brewers' Lyon Richardson: DFA'd by Brewers

    The Brewers designated Richardson for assignment Tuesday.

    Richardson appeared in one game after getting called up from Triple-A on Saturday, during which he gave up zero hits and a walk over 1.2 scoreless innings. He'll now lose his place on the active and 40-man rosters to make room for Bryse Wilson, who signed a major-league deal with the Crew on Tuesday.

  • Alan Rangel RP | PHI

    Phillies' Alan Rangel: Optioned to Lehigh Valley

    Philadelphia demoted Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Rangel was roughed up in his lone outing Monday since returning to the big-league club on August 9. The right-hander went 2.2 innings, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three against St. Louis. The Phillies elevated Alex McFarlane to replace Rangel on the active roster.

  • Nick Lodolo SP | CIN

    Reds' Nick Lodolo: Activated from IL, starting Tuesday

    Cincinnati reinstated Lodolo (finger) from the 15-day injured list, and he will start Tuesday's matchup against the White Sox.

    Lodolo will return from the IL after being sidelined for just under a month of action. The southpaw needed just one rehab start with Triple-A Louisville, which spanned 4.1 innings, before rejoining the big-league club. On the season, the 28-year-old owns a 3-2 record, 4.60 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 50:27 K:BB through 62.2 innings. The Reds optioned Zach McCambley to Louisville in a corresponding move.

  • Hunter Greene SP | CIN

    Reds' Hunter Greene: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Reds transferred Greene (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

    Greene is out for the remainder of the 2026 season and will soon undergo surgery to repair a partially torn UCL in his right elbow, which will keep him on the shelf for most or all of the 2027 campaign. The 27-year-old opened the current season on the IL after requiring a procedure in the spring to remove bone chips from his elbow and ended up making just five starts for the Reds, logging a 6.83 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 33:9 K:BB across 27.2 innings.

  • Edward Cabrera SP | CHC

    Cubs' Edward Cabrera: Third rehab start coming Tuesday

    Cabrera (hamstring) is slated to make the third start of his rehab assignment Tuesday with Double-A Knoxville, MLB.com reports.

    Cabrera will bump down a level after making his first two rehab starts at Triple-A Iowa. The right-hander, who has been on the shelf since June 24 due to a left hamstring/adductor strain, most recently covered 55 pitches over four innings Wednesday, striking out eight batters in that outing while allowing one unearned run on one hit and no walks. If he's able to build on that pitch count Tuesday, Cabrera should get the green light to return from the 15-day injured list to make his next start in the big leagues.

  • Tarik Skubal SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tarik Skubal: Notches no-decision in Los Angeles

    Skubal allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Monday.

    It was a grind for Skubal in his first home start at Dodger Stadium, as he needed 95 pitches to get through five frames. The star southpaw gave up three runs over his first three innings but at least managed to close out his outing with two scoreless frames. Skubal did record a healthy 14 whiffs and six punchouts, so the outing wasn't entirely mediocre. He's allowed five runs across 11 innings while posting a 12:4 K:BB over his first two starts with the Dodgers and is lined up to next take the mound at home in a tough matchup versus Milwaukee.

  • Brewers' Logan Henderson: Solid despite loss

    Henderson (6-2) took the loss against San Diego on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over 6.1 innings.

    Henderson gave up all three runs on homers -- a Ty France solo shot in the second inning and a Jackson Merrill two-run blast in the seventh. Though that was enough to hand him the loss, the right-hander still notched his second straight quality start and extended his streak of outings with seven or more punchouts to four starts. Henderson has posted a 2.57 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 35:4 K:BB over 28 innings spanning five starts since the All-Star break to strengthen his hold on a spot in the Brewers' rotation. He's tentatively slated to make his next start on the road against the Dodgers.
