Tiger (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list June 21.

Tiger worked his way to a 2.70 ERA and 0.90 WHIP with a 14:2 K:BB across 6.2 frames in the Arizona Complex League while working his way back from a setback that popped up after undergoing an internal brace procedure in September of 2024. He's made two appearances at High-A Hub City since being activated, surrendering four runs on six hits and striking out six over 3.2 innings.

Gomez (shoulder) was activated from the 7-day injured list June 20.

Gomez missed nearly two months of action while on the mend from a right shoulder strain. He's made two appearances for Triple-A Columbus since being activated, surrendering two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out 14 over eight innings.

Sugano isn't expected to make his next start until the Rockies' weekend series versus the Giants at Coors Field while he tends to a finger injury, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

After claiming victories in four straight starts, Sugano's winning streak came to a halt last Friday, when he was charged with a season-high seven earned runs over five innings in a no-decision against the Twins. Sugano may have been battling the finger injury at some point during that start, prompting the Rockies to give him at least an extra day or two of rest before he slots back into the rotation. The right-hander owns a 4.80 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 48:23 K:BB over 84.1 innings with Colorado on the season.

Burnes (elbow) is expected to be re-evaluated during the first or second week of July, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Burnes has been shut down from throwing since the beginning of June, when he suffered a teres major strain. However, he could be cleared to resume a throwing progression in the near future if his imaging shows improvement. Burnes will presumably need a lengthy ramp-up period once getting the green light to throw, so it's still too early to know when he could get back on the bump for the Diamondbacks.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that Scherzer (back/side) played catch Monday and could throw a bullpen session as soon as Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Scherzer threw a bullpen session as recently as last Monday, but the Blue Jays briefly shut him down a few days later after he experienced left side discomfort that was seemingly related to the back spasms that forced him to the injured list June 17. The right-hander received a cortisone shot Friday and has responded well to the injection, so he'll start the process of getting stretched back out. Scherzer could have a realistic shot at returning to the Toronto rotation at some point next week if he avoids any further setbacks while building up.

The Athletics recalled Morris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Morris was rocked for nine runs over four-plus innings in his major-league debut earlier this month. The 24-year-old appears set to work in long relief during his upcoming stint with the big club.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Fried (elbow) will throw a two-inning simulated game Tuesday, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

The Yankees are targeting Fried for around 30 pitches while he takes the mound and faces hitters for the first time since landing on the 15-day injured list May 16 due to a left elbow bone bruise. Fried doesn't look like he'll have enough time to get fully stretched out before the All-Star break, but a late-July return from the IL could be in play if he steers clear of any setbacks as he builds up his pitch count via sim games and/or minor-league rehab starts.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Monday that Montero will move to the bullpen for the time being, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Montero did nothing to lose his spot, as he tossed seven shutout innings versus the Astros his last time out and holds a 3.34 ERA in 15 starts this season. However, Jack Flaherty returned from the injured list over the weekend, and the Tigers will roll with a five-man rotation for now. Montero should eventually be asked to make more starts, but for now he'll likely be used in long relief.

White Sox manager Will Venable told reporters Monday that Schultz (knee) is on track to be activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's start against the Orioles, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Schultz made three starts during his rehab assignment, with his last taking place Friday with Triple-A Charlotte, when he tossed 74 pitches (52 strikes) while allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven across 4.2 innings. The 22-year-old southpaw has progressed enough in his recovery from right knee tendinitis to return to the majors Wednesday and will look to improve on his stat line of a 5.82 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 33:22 K:BB across 38.2 innings.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Monday that he expects Henderson (back) to return from the 15-day injured list before the All-Star break, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Henderson fanned seven over three scoreless innings Sunday in his first rehab start with Triple-A Nashville. He threw 50 pitches in that outing and appears set to make just one more rehab start before rejoining the Milwaukee rotation next week. Out since late May with a lower-back strain, Henderson boasts a 2.74 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 30 strikeouts over 23 innings during his time with Milwaukee this season.
