Munoz (shoulder) will throw off a mound Tuesday and will begin a rehab assignment soon, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

No word yet on when exactly his assignment will begin or how long it will last, but Munoz certainly seems to be trending in the right direction. The 24-year-old reliever is eligible to return from the IL on Sunday.

Detroit optioned Vest to Triple-A Toledo following Tuesday's doubleheader with the Guardians.

Vest served as the 27th man for the twin bill but didn't appear out of the bullpen in either game.

Loaisiga (elbow) expects to resume throwing Thursday or Friday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Thursday would be the two-week mark of Loaisiga landing on the injured list with right elbow inflammation, and it appears he's feeling better. The reliever will likely need to go out on a rehab assignment before rejoining the Yankees' bullpen.

Kelly (groin) threw a bullpen session Monday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

It's the first time Kelly has thrown from the bump since he landed on the injured list a little over a week ago with a right groin strain. Seemingly, he should be ready to go around the time he's first eligible for activation.

Padilla was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte by the White Sox on Tuesday.

Padilla will serve as the 27th man during Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Phillies. The 26-year-old has allowed just one run over his first 7.1 innings with Charlotte this season, although he has issued seven walks over that time.

Hentges (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Akron on Wednesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Hentges has been out all season with left shoulder inflammation but is ready to test things out in game action. If all goes well, the southpaw should be ready to slide back into a setup role for the Guardians before the end of the month.

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.
