Glasnow (elbow) will play catch Friday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Glasnow's recovery from elbow tendinitis had been stalled for a few days, but he'll resume throwing Friday. Manager Dave Roberts shared optimism that Glasnow would return to the mound this season, but he did not commit to that outcome.

Matz (back) is traveling with the Cardinals and is expected to be activated from the injured list this weekend, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

If activated as expected, it seems Matz will be added as the extra pitcher when rosters are expanded Sunday. The southpaw completed his sixth rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Memphis during which he gave up two earned runs on five hits over three innings. It remains to be seen if he will return as a starter or long reliever.

Civale (5-8) allowed two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings Thursday, striking out seven to get the win over the Giants.

Civale was brilliant Thursday and delivered his second scoreless outing of the season, both of which have come since being acquired by Milwaukee. It was the right-hander's third career start of seven or more shutout innings and his first since April 2023. Civale has kept his opponents off the scoreboard in two of his last three starts and has a 3.72 ERA in his first nine starts with the Brewers.

Birdsong (3-4) allowed five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out six over 3.2 innings to take the loss versus the Brewers on Thursday.

Birdsong has great stuff, as evidenced by his 60 strikeouts through 49 career innings, but he once again was plagued by control issues Thursday. The rookie walked four batters for his second straight start and has now given up five or more runs in three of his last five outings. Birdsong will want to turn the page on a rough month of August after giving up 18 runs in five starts, and he will take a 5.14 ERA into his next turn through the rotation.

Phillips is likely to be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Tuesday in Toronto, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

He'll be taking the rotation spot vacated by Taijuan Walker, who has been demoted to the bullpen. Phillips has offered a mixed bag during his 36 major-league innings, throwing a shutout and adding one other scoreless start but getting demoted after allowing 17 runs in 11 frames in August. He could earn additional starts after Tuesday, but Kolby Allard will also become an option once he's eligible to be recalled on Sept. 10.

Manager Rob Thomson said Thursday that Walker will work out of the bullpen going forward, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

After surrendering six earned runs on 13 hits and a walk without recording a strikeout in six innings against the Astros on Wednesday, Walker has now officially lost his place in the Phillies' rotation. He'll serve as a long reliever as he joins Philly's bullpen, and the team will need to recall someone -- likely Tyler Phillips -- from Triple-A to fill the open rotation spot, which is due to pitch in Toronto on Tuesday.

Kelly cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Kelly was claimed off waivers from Texas in July, and he'll now lose his 40-man roster spot after giving up six earned runs in just 2.1 innings with Albuquerque. The 24-year-old owns a gaudy 11.09 ERA and 2.68 WHIP through 18.2 innings at the Triple-A level, making it unlikely he receives a promotion to the majors anytime soon.

Woodruff (shoulder) threw a 15-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

It's the first time the veteran right-hander has throw from the bump since he underwent shoulder surgery last October. Woodruff is scheduled for another bullpen session on Friday or Saturday as he slowly ramps up his throwing program. He won't be available in 2024 even if the Brewers make a deep postseason run, but the hope is that Woodruff will be ready to go for spring training.

Hall has joined the Brewers in Milwaukee and could be recalled from Triple-A Nashville to start or serve as a bulk reliever in the second game of Friday's doubleheader in Cincinnati, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Hall made a spot start earlier this month against the Reds, allowing three runs (one earned) while striking out nine over 4.2 frames. The left-hander would likely be added as the 27th man Friday and then be returned to Triple-A immediately following the twin bill. Colin Rea is scheduled to start Friday's matinee for Milwaukee.

Yamamoto (triceps) allowed one run and struck out two over two innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Yamamoto surrendered a solo home run but nothing else, throwing 31 pitches over his two frames. The righty's velocity was down across the board, although that's not necessarily surprising for his first start in more than two months. The plan is for Yamamoto to make a couple more rehab starts before rejoining the Dodgers' rotation in mid-September.
