Suter (forearm) will come off the 10-day disabled list and take the mound in Pittsburgh on Saturday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Manager Craig Counsell didn't specify which game Suter will pitch during Saturday's doubleheader, as Chase Anderson is scheduled to toe the rubber for the Brewers as well. This will mark Suter's first appearance since June 2 against the Twins.

Brebbia was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Rob Rains of Stlsportspage.com reports.

Brebbia will journey down to the minors with the return of Luke Gregerson (shoulder, elbow, knee) and Tyler Lyons (elbow) from the disabled list. In addition, Luke Weaver was also optioned to Memphis for the time being. Across 27 appearances with the Cardinals this year, Brebbia has logged a 4.13 ERA and 1.22 WHIP.

Rainey was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

Rainey made a pair of appearances during his latest stint with the Reds, giving up an incredible 10 runs in a total of just one inning. His season ERA now sits at 24.43 through seven innings. He's given much more reason for optimism at the Triple-A level, though, tossing 28.2 innings with a 1.57 ERA, but even there, his walk rate sits at an untenable 18.3 percent. Austin Brice was recalled in a corresponding move.

Jansen allowed one walk and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning to record his 26th save of the season Thursday against the Padres.

Jansen walked the second batter he faced in the ninth inning, but induced two flyouts to end the game. Despite a bumpy start to the season, he now leads the National League in saves and has his ratios approaching the incredible level that he had maintained over the past three seasons.

Beck was assigned to Triple-A Las Vegas after clearing waivers Thursday, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

The recently DFA'd Beck will remain in the Mets' organization, but is no longer on the 40-man roster. He'll add depth to the Mets' Triple-A bullpen and could be an option to return to the big leagues later in the season.

Pivetta (6-7) threw 6.2 innings Thursday, yielding three runs on five hits and a walk while picking up the win against Baltimore. He struck out seven and allowed a home run.

It was a solid performance for Pivetta, whose last two starts lasted a combined 4.1 innings. He cruised through five scoreless innings before allowing a run in the sixth and was later chased by a two-run homer by Trey Mancini in the seventh. The 6-foot-5 right-hander owns a 4.58 ERA and 113:30 K:BB in 96.1 innings this season. He'll take the mound in a home contest against San Diego next Saturday (July 21).

Dominguez tossed a perfect ninth inning, striking out one and earning his ninth save in the 5-4 win over Philadelphia on Thursday.

With Philadelphia still using a committee in the closer role, Dominguez could start carving out a bigger share of the opportunities. He hasn't allowed a run since June 24, throwing 10 scoreless innings and lowering his ERA to 1.60 in the process. The 23-year-old will continue battling with Victor Arano for save opportunities.

Burdi (elbow) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment within the next couple of weeks, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

The Rule 5 pick has been sidelined all season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, which he required last summer. Now 13 months removed from the procedure, Burdi has resumed pitching in simulated games and will soon be ready to advance to the final phase of the rehab process. Given how long he has been sidelined, Burdi will likely need the entire 30-day rehab window in the minors to prove to the Pirates that he's healthy and ready to join the big club. He's not expected to be activated from the 60-day disabled list until at least August.

Suter (forearm) said that his bullpen session Wednesday "went great" and that he "feels ready to pitch," Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Suter will be eligible to return from the 10-day DL this weekend, and with the Brewers set to play five games in four days against Pittsburgh starting Thursday, he will likely take the mound during one of those contests if its determined that he's fully healthy. Across 18 appearances (16 starts) this year, he's logged a 4.53 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 78 strikeouts in 93.1 innings.

Lopez was optioned back to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday.

As expected, Lopez was shuttled back down to the minors after throwing 2.1 innings of relief during Wednesday's extra-innings loss. Lopez was saddled with the loss after giving up a walkoff hit to Starlin Castro. Look for him to be back in the Brewers' bullpen in the near future when more replenishments are needed.
