Megill (biceps) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Friday's start against the Angels, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Megill was unavailable for nearly a month due to right biceps inflammation, but he'll return to the mound as the starter in Friday's series opener against the Angels. Prior to his absence, the right-hander posted a 4.41 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 34.2 innings over his first seven starts of the season.

Miley was removed from Friday's game against the Yankees prior to the bottom of the fourth inning due to left shoulder soreness, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Miley was effective early in Friday's matchup, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out two in three scoreless innings. He threw 30 of his 42 pitches for strikes but was removed from the game after he was visited by a trainer while warming up in the middle of the fourth inning. The southpaw was activated from the injured list prior to Friday's start after missing nearly three weeks with a left shoulder strain, so it's concerning to see the issue pop up during his return to the mound. It's not yet clear whether Miley will require another trip to the injured list.

Urias will start Sunday's game against the Giants, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Urias was initially listed as the starter for Saturday's matchup, but the team wanted to give him an extra day of rest. As a result, he'll take the mound in the series finale against San Francisco while Clayton Kershaw (pelvis) draws the start Saturday.

Kershaw (pelvis) is starting Saturday's game against the Giants, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The left-hander was initially expected to start Sunday against San Francisco but will be pushed up by a day since the team wanted to give Julio Urias an extra day of rest. Kershaw will be pitching on normal rest since he made a rehab start Sunday at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga, but it's possible that he's on a pitch count Saturday after he spent nearly a month on the injured list.

Ryan (illness) will start Tuesday or Wednesday against the Mariners, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Ryan began a rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday and allowed a hit and no walks while striking out four in three scoreless innings. The Twins haven't yet settled on a date for him to rejoin the starting rotation, but he'll pitch sometime during a road trip to Seattle next week. The right-hander posted a 2.63 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 27.1 innings over his five starts prior to his absence.

Gray (pectoral) is slated to rejoin the Twins' rotation sometime next week, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Gray threw 25-to-30 pitches in a simulated game Friday and apparently felt good afterward, as he's been cleared to rejoin the major-league club. The Twins haven't yet indicated which day Gray will start next week, but the team will also get reinforcements to its rotation since Joe Ryan (illness) is expected to start Tuesday or Wednesday against the Mariners.

Greinke (elbow) is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Friday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Greinke has missed two turns in the rotation with a right flexor strain, but it's possible he only misses one more. If it turns out that he only needs a single rehab start, he could return as soon as next Friday in Oakland.

Lynn (knee) is expected to start Tuesday against the Tigers, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Previous reports indicated Lynn could return Monday, but there doesn't appear to be any setback behind the minor change of plans. He struggled in his latest rehab start for Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, giving up seven runs on nine hits in three innings of work, but the White Sox nevertheless seem to think he's ready to make his season debut.

Mize (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander doesn't actually have a torn UCL, but the procedure is still necessary since the ligament has been stretched to the point that it's lost elasticity. Mize landed on the injured list after only two starts this season, and he made one rehab start in mid-May before his elbow issues worsened. The 24-year-old will miss the rest of the season and will also be sidelined for at least the first half of 2023.

Manager David Ross said that Hendricks has been "dealing with some stuff" but threw a bullpen session Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Hendricks hasn't started since June 1, and the team hasn't provided an official reason why he was deemed in need of extra rest. However, Ross didn't sound too concerned about Hendricks and said that the right-hander will "pitch in the near future." While the 32-year-old isn't starting Friday or Saturday against the Yankees, he'll likely be in the mix to start during Sunday's series finale or sometime next week against the Padres.
