Buehler (elbow) will play light catch Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The activity will mark Buehler's first since being placed on the injured list June 11. He remains optimistic that he'll be able to return to the Dodgers' rotation in mid-to-late September, though he isn't set for another MRI until 12 weeks post-injury -- which would be in early September. Any appearances he makes during the regular season would likely only be to build up his workload for a potential postseason run.

Bello was recalled by the Red Sox on Friday.

Bello was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on July 12, one day after he surrendered five earned runs across four innings against the Rays. He'll be needed in the rotation to take the place of Chris Sale (finger), who was placed on the injured list Friday. Bello has maintained a 2.82 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 54.1 innings with Worcester this season.

Sale (finger) was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday.

Sale was diagnosed with a broken left pinky finger Monday and has been ruled out for at least a month. Given that news, his move to the injured list was a formality to clear a roster spot. Brayan Bello was recalled from Triple-A Worcester in the corresponding move.

Peralta (lat) will make his first rehab start with Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

There wasn't an exact workload disclosed, but manager Craig Counsell did say that Peralta would work multiple innings. He'll work on a starter schedule and will build up an inning per outing. Assuming no major setbacks, Peralta could return in mid-to-late August.

Gore will remain in the Padres' bullpen for now, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Gore shifted to a relief role just before the All-Star break, and the Padres will elect to continue with a five-man rotation for now, likely to limit the workloads of Gore and Nick Martinez. Gore made a relief appearance Sunday against Arizona and allowed two runs on a hit and two walks while striking out one in one-third of an inning.

Hill (knee) threw a three-inning simulated game Friday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Hill resumed mound work late last week and took another significant step in his recovery by facing live hitters Friday. It's not yet clear whether the left-hander will require a rehab assignment before rejoining Boston's rotation.

Wacha (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Saturday prior to throwing a simulated game Monday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Wacha has been on the injured list since early July due to right shoulder inflammation, but he's been throwing off a mound over the last week. It's not yet clear whether the right-hander will require a rehab assignment after facing hitters Monday.

Civale (wrist) met with a hand specialist this week, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

The visit determined that Civale has a ligament sprain and inflammation in his right wrist, but he is expected to resume throwing this week and the team expects him to return at some point in August. The right-hander was placed on the 15-day injured list July 14.

Miley (shoulder) threw a 32-pitch bullpen session Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Miley resumed throwing in late June and has now progressed to mound work. However, he'll need some time to build back up prior to rejoining the Cubs' rotation. As the 35-year-old has been on the injured list since June 11, he'll require a rehab assignment before returning from the injured list. As a result, it seems unlikely that he'll return to the majors until sometime in mid-August at the earliest.

Bradish (shoulder) will make another rehab start this weekend, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Bradish made a pair of rehab starts prior to the All-Star break and struck out nine in eight scoreless innings. However, the right-hander will require at least one more appearance in the minors prior to rejoining the Orioles' rotation. If Bradish feels good following this weekend's outing, he'll be in the mix to be activated late next week.
