Campbell underwent a cleanup procedure on his right elbow and is on the 7-day injured list at High-A Everett, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.

The 23-year-old is receiving his first taste of professional baseball in 2021 and has a 2.33 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 20:6 K:BB over 19.1 innings at High-A, but he's now on the injured list. It's unclear how long Campbell is expected to be sidelined.

Merryweather (oblique) is expected to begin throwing off a mound this week, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The right-hander is eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list since he's been on the shelf with the oblique strain since mid-April, but he still has significant work to do in his throwing program. Merryweather will need to complete bullpen sessions and eventually a rehab assignment before rejoining the active roster, so he may not return until after the All-Star break.

Borucki (forearm) has been throwing off a mound and is expected to progress to side sessions this week, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The left-hander has been on the shelf with a forearm strain since May 14, but he's progressed quickly since recently starting up his throwing program. Borucki could begin a rehab assignment if he continues to avoid any setbacks after advancing to side sessions.

Miller cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Miller was designated for assignment by Texas on Friday, and he'll remain in the organization after going through waivers unclaimed. The right-hander was on the Cubs' 40-man roster earlier this season, though he hasn't seen major-league action with either club in 2021.

Duran was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul with a strained right elbow, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

The 23-year-old missed the start of the season while dealing with trapezius tightness, and he'll now be sidelined by an elbow issue. Duran is Minnesota's top pitching prospect, and it's unclear how long he's expected to be on the shelf.

Phillips (undisclosed) returned from the 7-day injured list and made a relief appearance for Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, working around a hit and walk to deliver a scoreless inning.

Phillips was sidelined for approximately two and a half weeks with the unspecified injury. Over his six relief outings for Norfolk this season, Phillips has given up seven earned runs on eight hits and five walks over 6.1 innings.

Shaw (1-2) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Pirates after allowing four runs on one hit and three walks. He didn't record an out before being lifted.

Shaw had his worst performance of the season Saturday, as he was unable to retire any of the four batters he faced before being lifted. He walked Ben Gamel and Kevin Newman before allowing a three-run shot to Michael Perez, and then he walked Ka'ai Tom before departing the contest. The right-hander has allowed at least one run in three straight appearances and his ERA has ballooned up to 3.54 as a result.

King (5-5) was tagged with the loss in relief Saturday against Minnesota. He gave up one run on two walks and a strikeout across three innings.

King was unable to hold up the 2-2 tie and gave up the deciding run in the top of the seventh after Max Kepler scored on a wild pitch. The left-hander has given up runs in three of his last four outings but still owns a decent 3.18 ERA across 11.1 innings this month (six appearances).

Thielbar (2-0) earned the win Saturday against the Rangers after tossing a scoreless inning, striking out one.

Thielbar worked the sixth inning and was flawless, tossing eight of his 12 pitches for strikes en route to a scoreless frame and his second win of the campaign. The left-hander ended a streak of two straight outings during which he surrendered a run. He still owns a decent 4.13 ERA through 22 appearances (24 outings) but has fallen back in comparison to the 2.25 ERA he posted last season.

Rogers notched the save Saturday against the Rangers after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and fanning two.

Rogers has been part of a closing committee alongside Hansel Robles, but the 30-year-old southpaw has looked impressive of late and has gone 7-for-9 in save chances this year. He hasn't blown a save since May 4 and also has five straight outings without allowing a run.
