Brieske (arm) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

It will be the first time he's thrown from the mound since he underwent a hydrodissection procedure to treat a nerve issue in his right arm. There remains no timetable for Brieske's return, but Wednesday's activity would certainly represent a step forward.

The Tigers recalled West from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Guardians, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Vest has been designated as the 27th man for the twin bill, so he'll most likely be headed back to the minors following the pair of games. The reliever has struggled in the early going with Toledo, posting a 10.29 ERA in his first six appearances.

The Guardians placed De Los Santos on the paternity leave list Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

De Los Santos can be away for up to three days as he deals with much more important matters. He holds a 1.35 ERA over seven relief appearances this season.

The Guardians recalled Pilkington from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Pilkington has been designated as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader with the Tigers, so he'll most likely be headed back to Columbus immediately after the twin bill. The left-hander has been starting at Columbus and will likely be in line to eat up some innings in relief Tuesday.

Beeks (0-1) took the loss Monday against the Reds, allowing one run on one hit and two walks over three innings. He struck out one.

Beeks got his second start of the season in the series opener with Cincinnati. Despite only working through three innings, the 29-year-old lefty was solid, and his only mistake came on Kevin Newman's solo shot in the second inning. Beeks owns a 3.00 ERA and 6:3 K:BB across nine innings this year, but with Taj Bradley being called up from Triple-A Durham, the left-hander will likely continue to rotate between spot starter and reliever for the foreseeable future.

Estevez earned the save Monday against the Red Sox, allowing one run on two hits while recording two strikeouts.

Estevez entered in the ninth inning and shut the door in a nail-biting finale to the series. The 30-year-old struck out Jarren Duran before giving up a run on a Rafael Devers RBI single; however, Estevez remained resilient and proceeded to strike out Rob Refsnyder before getting Masataka Yoshida to pop out to end the game. Estevez secured his second save of the season and owns a 2.57 ERA with nine strikeouts through seven innings this season.

Zimmermann (thumb) tossed five innings and struck out five while allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks in his most recent start for Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.

Zimmermann ended up missing just one turn through the rotation on account of the right thumb injury he suffered in his season debut April 1. The southpaw possesses a spot on Baltimore's 40-man roster and could be a candidate to make spot starts for the big club as the season unfolds.

White (elbow) threw two innings of live batting practice Saturday at the Blue Jays' spring training complex in Florida, MLB.com reports.

As long as he bounces back with no issues, White will inch closer to beginning a rehab assignment. The right-hander had been slated for a bulk relief role with Toronto when he injured his elbow in late March. White is out of options, so he'll be part of the major-league club in some capacity once deemed ready.

Baumann (2-0) walked one and struck out two without allowing a hit over two scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday over the White Sox.

Baumann has picked up the win in his last four outings. The 27-year-old right-hander has a pedestrian 8:5 K:BB through 9.1 innings, but he's done well in run prevention as evidenced by his 0.96 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. With a low-leverage role and a lack of significant strikeout upside, Baumann isn't likely to make much of an impact in fantasy.

Akin was activated from the paternity leave list by the Orioles on Monday

The O's are off Monday, but Akin will be back in their bullpen for Tuesday's game against the Nationals. Spenser Watkins was sent down in a corresponding move.
