Rutschman (oblique) will take batting practice this weekend, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Rutschman began hitting off a tee this past Friday and will take another big step forward with his hitting progression this weekend. It's not clear whether the Orioles will ask him to go out on a rehab assignment, but either way he would seem to have a good shot to be activated from the 10-day injured list at some point next week. Rutschman has been shelved since mid-August with a right oblique strain.

The Rays transferred Van Belle (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

The right-hander landed on the injured list over the weekend due to elbow inflammation and will now be sidelined for the rest of the season. The results of Van Belle's MRI have yet to be disclosed, so it's unclear if he's expected to be available for the start of spring training.

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said that Kremer (forearm) played catch Sunday and will do so again Tuesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Kremer was removed from his start in Friday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers after three innings due to right forearm soreness. An MRI came back clean, and while he will miss his next turn in the rotation, the hope remains that Kremer could avoid a stint on the 15-day injured list.

Miller will undergo surgery in the coming weeks to repair the torn UCL in his right elbow, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

It's unclear whether it will be Tommy John surgery -- which would be Miller's second -- but even if it isn't there's a good chance he won't be ready to pitch again until 2027. The righty posted a 2.74 ERA and 54:15 K:BB over 46 innings between the Diamondbacks and Brewers this season and will be a free agent this offseason.

Henderson (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Sept. 16, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Henderson is on the 60-day injured list while recovering from a right flexor strain, an injury that occurred in early August. However, he's made progress in his recovery and the Brewers are hopeful that the rookie right-hander will be available at some point during the postseason.

Hall (oblique) has been cleared to resume a throwing program, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Hall had been limited to plyometric work but has begun throwing on flat ground. The lefty will continue to ramp things up, with the goal of returning in late September or early October. Hall has been sidelined since mid-August with a strained right oblique.

The Mets designated Suero for assignment Tuesday.

The right-hander was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse last week and has now lost his place on the 40-man roster. Suero made a few big-league appearances with Atlanta earlier this season but surrendered eight earned runs across 6.1 innings.

The Mets activated Siri (tibia) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Siri missed nearly five months with a fractured left tibia but is ready to roll after going 7-for-26 with one home run in eight rehab games. He could see some starts in center field against left-handed pitching.

The Mets optioned Young to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

Young homered in his lone plate appearance after being recalled a week ago, but he will nonetheless be dispatched back to the minors. Jose Siri (tibia) is back from the 60-day injured list to take Young's roster spot.

The Rays claimed Boushley off waivers from the Rangers on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Durham.

Boushley has posted a 6.02 ERA in 43.1 innings during his time with the Rangers this season. The 31-year-old has minor-league options remaining will report to Durham for now, but he could join the major-league club later this month.
