Harrison (elbow) said a precautionary MRI returned "all good" and that he had no issues during his bullpen session Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander landed on the shelf July 8 due to elbow soreness, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury and quickly returned to mound work. Harrison will be eligible to come off the injured list Friday, though he may need to face live batters before rejoining Milwaukee's rotation.

DeGrom (glute) is scheduled to start Monday's game against the White Sox, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

The 38-year-old was scratched from his final outing before the All-Star break due to a mild left glute strain, but deGrom's been cleared to take the mound for Texas' fourth game of the second half. He's given up two runs or fewer in six of his past seven starts and has a 4-1 record with a 3.07 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 52:10 K:BB across 41 innings during that span.

Misiorowski (arm) is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Mets, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The flamethrowing right-hander was initially penciled in to rejoin the rotation Tuesday after recovering from a bout of arm fatigue, but instead he'll move up a day while Brandon Sproat gets bumped to Tuesday. Misiorowski will be making his first start since July 7 in St. Louis, when he struck out 11 and gave up three runs across seven innings while picking up his 10th victory of the year. It's not a major surprise that the 24-year-old got some extra time off -- his 111 innings this season is fast approaching the career high of 141.1 frames he posted between Triple-A and the majors last year including the playoffs.

Manager Aaron Boone said Rodriguez will be called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to serve as the Yankees' 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers and could "potentially" start Game 2, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

With the Yankees deciding to push Ryan Weathers back a day in the schedule to start Monday's series opener versus the Pirates, Rodriguez looks poised to temporarily step into the big-league rotation as a starter or bulk reliever. The 22-year-old has started in each of his prior four appearances with the Yankees, recording a 4.76 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 10:11 K:BB in 17 innings.

Weathers will not start the second half of Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers and will now start Monday's game against the Pirates, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Weathers was originally in line to pitch Saturday's game before it was rained out and will now open the series against Pittsburgh on Monday instead. Manager Aaron Boone said that Elmer Rodriguez could "potentially" start the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader. On the season, Weathers possesses a 4.15 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 110:27 K:BB through 97.2 innings in his first season with the Yankees.

Sheehan will not start the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees and will instead start Monday's series opener against Philadelphia, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Sheehan, who was originally slated to pitch against the Yankees on Saturday before the game was postponed, will open the series against the Phillies for the Dodgers on Monday. The Dodgers opted to go with a bullpen game for the second half of Sunday's doubleheader over the 26-year-old. On the season, the right-hander has posted a 4.81 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 93:26 K:BB in 82.1 innings.

Clarke (arm) averaged 101.2 mph and topped out at 103.1 mph with his sinker in a rehab start with Single-A Palm Beach on Saturday.

The box score results weren't favorable, as Clarke was charged with two runs on one hit and two walks over 1.1 innings. The stuff was electric, however, with the southpaw showcasing a devastating sweeper in addition to premium velocity. Clarke got a late start to the season following surgery in January to address an aneurysm in his left arm and is expected to eventually be assigned to Double-A Springfield. Durability and control have been issues for the 23-year-old, but he could skyrocket up prospect rankings if he's able to stay healthy and throw enough strikes.

Eyanson allowed one hit and one walk while striking out eight over five scoreless innings for Double-A Portland on Saturday.

Eyanson, who picked up the win in the MLB All-Star Futures Game last Sunday, made his first regular-season start since July 4. It was the ninth start in which he hasn't allowed an earned run and his third with at least eight strikeouts. The 21-year-old right-hander lowered his ERA to 1.19. Eyanson's mainly attacking hitters with a four-seam fastball, an offering that's increased from low-90s mph in college to high-90s and has touched 100 mph in the pros, while mixing in a curveball and a 65-grade slider.

McDougal (forearm) has struck out five and allowed one hit and four walks over five scoreless relief innings since being reinstated from Triple-A Charlotte's 7-day injured list July 7.

Before hitting the shelf April 30 due to a right forearm flexor strain, all six of McDougal's appearances for Charlotte had come in the rotation. The White Sox could revisit developing the 23-year-old as a starter down the road, but in the short term he's being positioned to potentially join the big-league bullpen for the stretch run. The lanky right-hander has looked overpowering since moving to relief despite his control issues, and he'll likely need to show some improvement on that front before gaining any major momentum for a promotion.

Manager Walt Weiss said Saturday that Perez (forearm) is likely to return from the 15-day injured list during Atlanta's four-game home series with San Diego that begins Monday, MLB.com reports.

The lefty appears most likely to slot back into the rotation Wednesday, which would afford ace Chris Sale an extra day of rest. Perez has been on the shelf since July 6 due to a left forearm contusion, but he's made good progress in his recovery and doesn't look like he'll require a rehab assignment. The 35-year-old doesn't miss many bats (18.6 K%, 22 percent whiff rate), but he's been able to maintain a 3.54 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 81.1 innings by generating groundballs at a healthy 47.7 percent clip.
