Miller (back) is no longer doing any baseball activities, MLB.com reports.

Miller had resumed light baseball activities as of mid-May, but he's since been shut down altogether for the second time during his rehab. The 21-year-old top prospect has been on the shelf since February due to a balky lower back, and he just can't seem to get to the bottom of the issue. At this stage, it's unclear if Miller be able to get back onto the field at any point in June.

Rooker went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 13-8 loss against the Yankees.

Rooker did his damage with the Athletics trailing by a large margin, launching a 108.6 mph solo homer in the seventh inning to cut the deficit to 13-4. The 31-year-old has struggled to find his footing in 2026 and entered Sunday's contest in a notable slump, going 1-for-21 (.048) across his previous six contests. Overall, Rooker is slashing .194/.278/.368 with eight homers, 26 RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases across 41 games this season.

Volpe went 2-for-4 with an RBI, two runs scored and two steals in Sunday's 13-8 victory over the Athletics.

Volpe opened the Yankees' 13-run third inning with a single and a stolen base before driving in a run with another single and swiping second again later in the frame. He's now hitting .256 with a .780 OPS, three doubles, a homer, eight RBI, nine runs and four stolen bases across 13 games. The presence of Jose Caballero means Volpe isn't the unquestioned starter, though he has started five of the past six contests at shortstop.

Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 13-8 win over the Athletics.

With left-hander Jacob Lopez starting for the Athletics, Schuemann drew the start at second base before shifting to right field. The 28-year-old contributed to the Yankees' 13-run third inning, roping a two-RBI double to the left-field wall. While the utility man hasn't seen much action in the majors, he has been productive when called upon in 2026, slashing .294/.500/.471 with three doubles, three RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases across 24 plate appearances.

Devenski (illness) is expected to resume throwing bullpen sessions during the upcoming week, MLB.com reports.

Devenski was cleared to resume all baseball activities May 13, but he appears to have been limited to throwing off flat ground since that date. While the right-hander looks poised to take the next step in throwing program by getting back on a mound, he's still likely at least a couple weeks away from being ready for action with the Pirates. Before landing on the injured list May 7 due to an undisclosed illness, Devenski surrendered two earned runs on five hits over 2.1 innings in three appearances out of the Pittsburgh bullpen.

Rice went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple, four RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Athletics.

Rice extended his hitting streak to five games in style, lacing a two-RBI double before driving in two more runs with a triple as part of the Yankees' 13-run third inning. The first baseman will close out May slashing .286/.346/.602 with 15 extra-base hits (including seven homers), 21 RBI, 18 runs and a stolen base across 24 games during the month. His 1.055 OPS across 54 games this season leads all qualified MLB hitters.

Carey, who is working his way back from a heel injury, began a rehab assignment Friday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.

Carey has gone 0-for-5 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored through the first two games of his rehab assignment. The 19-year-old outfielder has been on High-A Rome's 7-day injured list since April 24, but he could be ready to return to action in the South Atlantic League at some point during the upcoming week.

Warren (7-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing three runs (none earned) on six hits and three walks over six innings in a 13-8 victory over the Athletics. He struck out five.

Facilitated by a Trent Grisham error, Warren was charged with three unearned runs in the first inning but settled in nicely afterward, firing five scoreless frames. Sunday marked the right-hander's second consecutive quality start and fifth of the season. Warren will carry a 3.22 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 70:19 K:BB across 64.1 innings (12 outings) into his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Red Sox.

Brzykcy is expected to be called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Brzykcy will join the big-league club for the first time in 2026, looking to make his Marlins debut after being claimed by the team off waivers in November. The right-hander has posted a 4.79 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 24 strikeouts over 20.2 innings in 16 appearances out of the bullpen with Jacksonville so far this year.

The Athletics plan to option Lopez to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

Lopez fell apart in the third frame of Sunday's 13-8 loss to the Yankees, allowing seven earned runs on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts over two-plus innings. After the game, manager Mark Kotsay indicated that the Athletics were hoping to get five or six innings out of Lopez on Sunday, but the lefty's inability to work deep into the start in addition to a mental miscue of not covering first base during a play in the third inning will result in him being demoted. The 28-year-old has largely struggled in 2026, posting a 4-3 record with a 6.75 ERA and 1.84 WHIP across 50.2 innings (12 appearances). The Athletics will now have two openings in their rotation during the upcoming week, as Luis Severino (shoulder) was moved to the injured list Saturday.
