Wilson (hamstring) is expected to make his third minor-league rehab appearance Sunday, Max Goodman of Sports Illustrated reports.

Wilson has done well in two rehab appearances with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre thus far, allowing no hits and one walk while striking out two over two innings. He could be activated by the Yankees early next week if Sunday's outing goes off without a hitch.

Hentges will start Sunday against the Twins instead of Saturday as previously scheduled, as Saturday's game has been postponed due to rain, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader in September. Logan Allen was scheduled to be called up to start Sunday, but Cleveland will simply push Hentges back by a day instead.

Chargois recorded one out and notched his seventh hold in a win over the White Sox on Friday.

A three-pitch tussle with Jose Abreu that culminated in a foul pop was all it took for Chargois to earn his seventh hold and extend his impressive stretch of pitching. Factoring in Friday's quick outing, Chargois hasn't allowed an earned run in 11 of 12 trips to the mound and has lowered his ERA and WHIP to an impressive 2.18 and 0.68, respectively.

Swanson (groin) has joined Triple-A Tacoma on its current road trip and will throw a bullpen session before officially jumping into a rehab assignment, the team's official site reports.

The right-hander got through a bullpen session earlier this week without any apparent setbacks, and he's now on the verge of his first taste of game action since May 28. Upon rejoining the big-league club Swanson may be inserted into some high-leverage scenarios fairly quickly, as he boasted an 0.69 ERA and 0.77 WHIP across 13.0 innings prior to the injury.

Anderson (elbow) threw off the bullpen mound at Tropicana Field on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Anderson has been throwing across the last several weeks, but the Rays haven't yet indicated when he could face live hitters or begin a rehab assignment. The right-hander felt good after his second bullpen session Saturday and hopes to return sometime in August, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Manager Charlie Montoyo said Saturday that Merryweather (oblique) threw a "nice and easy" side session this week, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Although Merryweather didn't throw with much intensity this week, Montoyo seemed pleased with the right-hander's results. He's slated to throw a bullpen session in the near future and will face hitters in live batting practice after that. If all goes well in his next few throwing sessions, Merryweather is expected to begin a rehab assignment afterward.

McHugh notched his second victory in a win over the Angels on Friday, allowing one hit and recording two strikeouts over 1.1 scoreless innings.

McHugh got four outs on an efficient 19 pitches, 12 of which found the strike zone. The veteran right-hander has made scoreless multi-inning outings the norm of late, as he now boasts an eight-appearance scoreless streak during which he's forged a 23:2 K:BB and posted an 0.75 WHIP over 16 innings.

Borucki (forearm) threw a successful bullpen session Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Borucki has been throwing off a mound for about a week, and he continues to make good progress in his recovery. He's now slated to throw a side session Monday or live BP on Tuesday, and he'll likely begin a rehab assignment afterward if all goes well.

Hill (wrist) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

Hill had offseason surgery on his right wrist, and he's spent the entirety of the 2021 campaign on the 60-day injured list. In his first appearance with Columbus, he struck out two and walked one in a scoreless inning. The 27-year-old will likely need a few more appearances to build back up to full strength. He posted a 4.91 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB across 18.1 innings for Cleveland last year.

Fleming was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain Saturday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Fleming served as the primary pitcher in Friday's game against the Angels, and he allowed an unearned run on two hits and a walk while striking out two in 3.2 innings. However, he apparently sustained a calf injury during the no-decision and will miss at least 10 days as a result. However, the southpaw is hopeful that he won't be forced to miss much time, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Louis Head was recalled from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.
