The Blue Jays reinstated Bieber (elbow) from the 60-day injured list to start Friday's game at Miami.

After recovering from Tommy John surgery, the right-hander is making his first start for Toronto and his first MLB appearance since April of 2024. Bieber finished his rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo in dominant form, as he threw 64 of 90 pitches for strikes over seven scoreless frames last Friday. The 30-year-old shouldn't have significant workload limitation given the lengthy rehab assignment, though the Blue Jays are still likely to exercise some caution with his usage. The 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner has a career 3.22 ERA and 10.2 K/9 in 136 big-league appearances, all of which to this point have come with Cleveland.

The Rockies are expected to call up Brown from Double-A Hartford to start Sunday's game against the Pirates at PNC Park, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

After Colorado released Austin Gomber on Friday, Brown looks to be the leading candidate to fill the opening in the rotation. The 79th overall pick in the 2021 First-Year Player Draft, Brown missed significant development time after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023 and has yet to pitch above the Double-A level, but he's pitched effectively over 11 outings for Hartford. Since getting promoted from High-A Spokane on May 30, the 25-year-old right-hander has logged a 3.14 ERA and 57:15 K:BB across 43 innings at Double-A.

The Orioles placed Young on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left hamstring strain.

Young suffered the injury in the sixth inning of Thursday's start versus the Astros while covering first base. The rookie right-hander will be eligible to return Sept. 6, but with Kyle Bradish (elbow) set to join the Orioles' rotation next week, it's uncertain what role Young will be in line for if he does make it back this season.

The Marlins recalled Gusto from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Gusto will draw the start in Friday's contest versus the Blue Jays in what will be his second outing for the Marlins since he landed with Miami in a trade that sent Jesus Sanchez to the Astros. The righty holds a 4.89 ERA in 92 innings at the big-league level in 2025, though that's come with a promising 95:30 K:BB. Gusto should get the chance to stick in the Marlins' rotation for the rest of the season if he performs.

The Giants recalled Whisenhunt from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of his start against the Brewers on Friday.

Whisenhunt officially joins the 26-man roster, taking the place of Landen Roupp (knee). The 24-year-old Whisenhunt made his MLB debut in late July with three starts for the Giants, posting a 5.02 ERA and a 12:7 K:BB across 14.1 innings before being sent back down Aug. 12. Whisenhunt's numbers at Sacramento weren't much better, as he tallied a 4.37 ERA and 92:32 K:BB across 103 innings.

The Giants placed Roupp on the 15-day injured list Friday with left knee inflammation.

The club is calling it inflammation for now, but Roupp underwent an MRI on Thursday and a more specific diagnosis could come Friday, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. Roupp was injured during Wednesday's start versus the Padres after being struck by a comebacker and then twisting awkwardly when he fell to the ground. Carson Whisenhunt is taking Roupp's spot on the roster and in the rotation.

Woods Richardson (illness) appears in line to be activated from the 15-day injured list sometime in September, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Woods Richardson allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and one walk while fanning four batters over 3.1 frames in his second rehab appearance with Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday. He will make at least one more appearance for St. Paul before rejoining the Twins' active roster. Coming back from a procedure to remove a parasite from his digestive tract, Woods Richardson's role upon his activation is unclear. The Twins expect to get Pablo Lopez (shoulder) back before long, Mick Abel is joining the rotation this weekend and Taj Bradley's arrival also appears imminent, so Woods Richardson might pitch in relief.

Abel joined the Twins' taxi squad and appears likely to be recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to start Saturday against the White Sox in Chicago, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Picked up from the Phillies at the trade deadline in a deal that sent reliever Jhoan Duran to Philadelphia, Abel has posted a 1.76 ERA and 23:6 K:BB over 15.1 innings in his first three outings with Triple-A St. Paul. The 24-year-old previously made six starts in the majors with the Phillies, collecting a 5.04 ERA and 21:9 K:BB across 25 frames. The Twins hope to get Pablo Lopez (shoulder) and Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) back from the injured list in the next couple of weeks, but Abel could get the chance to stick in the big-league rotation for the rest of the season if he pitches well Saturday.

Bradley could be called up from Triple-A St. Paul to start Sunday's game against the White Sox, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The Twins have yet to name starters for Saturday or Sunday, and it's possible those slots will be filled by Bradley and/or Mick Abel, both of whom Minnesota acquired ahead of the trade deadline. Since his acquisition, Bradley has pitched exclusively at St. Paul, with whom he's posted a 7.53 ERA but an 18:2 K:BB over his 14.1 innings. Before being traded away by Tampa Bay, Bradley submitted a 4.61 ERA and 1.28 WHIP across 111.1 innings.

The Twins could recall Abel from Triple-A St. Paul to make a start this weekend against the White Sox, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Abel and Taj Bradley are tentatively penciled in to start at Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. However, the Twins have yet to name starting pitchers for those days, so the two right-handers might make their next starts at the big-league level instead. Acquired from the Phillies on July 30, Abel has posted a 1.76 ERA and 23:6 K:BB over 15.1 innings in his first three outings with St. Paul.
