Milner was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Milner was sent down in early September, and he recorded a 2.57 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with nine strikeouts in seven innings across seven minor-league appearances since then. He'll provide another arm out of the bullpen after right-hander Hunter Strickland was placed on the paternity list Tuesday.

Adam was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Adam was called up as the 29th man for Friday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, and he made his first major-league appearance since May 9. He struck out three in a perfect relief inning and will provide an extra arm in the Cubs' bullpen late in the season.

Thompson was placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Thompson's placement on the injured list doesn't come as a surprise after manager David Ross said Tuesday that the right-hander will be shut down for the final week of the season. The 26-year-old made 32 appearances (six starts) during his first major-league season in 2021, posting a 3.38 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 53.1 innings.

Thompson has been shut down for the final week of the 2021 season due to shoulder soreness, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Thompson was effective enough in Sunday's start, allowing just one run in three innings in a no-decision against the Cardinals. He dealt with a shoulder injury earlier in the year, and the issue apparently flared up Sunday. Manager David Ross didn't sound too concerned about Thompson's current injury, so he should have a relatively normal offseason.

Brogdon (groin) was activated off the injured list as expected Tuesday.

Brogdon will wind up missing just over two weeks with a strained right groin. He's ready to go after making just a single rehab appearance and will give the Phillies a reliable option in their bullpen, as he owns a 3.60 ERA and 1.15 WHIP on the season.

Perez was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Perez's latest stint in the big-league bullpen lasted just three days. He looked good in both of his appearances, striking out three over a pair of scoreless innings without allowing a hit or walk, but the Reds elected to send him down to clear a roster spot for Tuesday's starter, Riley O'Brien.

Rainey allowed one run on a hit and a walk in one inning Sunday and recorded a save against Colorado.

Rainey gave up a two-out RBI double to C.J. Cron but escaped the threat to finish off the 5-4 win. He's converted his last two save chances, making him 3-for-6 on the year. Rainey has produced a 6.75 ERA and 39:23 K:BB through 30.2 frames.

Sanmartin (1-0) yielded one run on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings Monday, striking out five and earning a win over the Pirates.

Sanmartin tossed 60-of-93 pitches for strikes and kept the Pirates scoreless through the first four innings. The only damage against him came in the fifth when Anthony Alford scored on a wild pitch. It was his first career MLB start after posting a 3.94 ERA and an 89:23 K:BB with Triple-A Louisville this season. The 25-year-old southpaw could be in line for another start against the Pirates this weekend in Pittsburgh.

Bruihl picked up a hold against Arizona on Sunday, hurling a scoreless inning during which he allowed one hit and one walk.

Bruihl came on in relief of starter Julio Urias in the sixth inning and allowed a pair of baserunners, but he was able to retire Kole Calhoun with runners on the corners to keep the Diamondbacks off the scoreboard. The hold was the third of the campaign for the rookie and his first since Aug. 21. Bruihl has struggled of late -- over his past four outings, he has given up four runs and six hits across 2.2 frames -- but he has posted a respectable 3.24 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 16.2 innings overall.

Jansen picked up the save Sunday against the Diamondbacks after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, giving up a hit but striking out two.

Jansen entered the game in the ninth inning with the Dodgers holding a three-run lead, and while he started his outing allowing a single to Josh Rojas, that would be all the damage the Diamondbacks would inflict on the 33-year-old reliever. Jansen has been outstanding of late and has given up just one earned run over his last 19 appearances (18.1 innings) dating back to Aug. 20. He owns a 0.49 ERA and a 0.55 WHIP in that span.
