Rosenberg will start Thursday's game versus the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rosenberg has made two appearances in long relief this month, allowing seven runs with a 7:4 K:BB over 10 innings. He had been starting at Triple-A Salt Lake prior to getting called up July 10 and threw 95 and 69 pitches in his two relief appearances with the big club. As such, Rosenberg should be able to handle a standard starter's workload against Oakland.

The Brewers sent Bukauskas (triceps) to their Arizona Complex League affiliate Wednesday so he can resume a rehab assignment.

Bukauskas had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment last month following a setback with his triceps/shoulder injury, but he's feeling well enough now to give it a go again. The reliever has been sidelined since mid-April, so he figures to require several rehab appearances before being an option for the Brewers' bullpen.

Phillips earned a one-out save in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Giants after walking a batter.

Phillips entered the game in relief of Alex Vesia to face Jorge Soler with the Dodgers up 5-2. Phillips would go on to walk Soler on four pitches before eventually getting LaMonte Wade to ground out to end the game. While Phillips picked up his first save since July 5, he still looked shaky on the mound and now has three walks in his last two appearances. He's now up to 15 saves on the year to accompany a 3.73 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 34:11 K:BB in 31.1 innings.

Zastryzny will serve as the Brewers' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Zastryzny will receive his third opener assignment of the season but likely won't be asked to work much more than one inning Wednesday. Jakob Junis and Bryse Wilson are candidates to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen once Zastryzny exits the contest.

The Reds recalled Zulueta from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The 26-year-old has allowed one run over four innings covering two relief appearances for the Reds this season. Zulueta will give Cincinnati another middle-relief option.

Liberatore will start Wednesday's game against the Pirates at PNC Park, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

St. Louis already boasts a healthy five-man rotation, but Liberatore will be called upon for a spot start Wednesday since a doubleheader over the weekend created a stretch of six games in five days for the Cardinals. Liberatore hadn't been used out of the bullpen in any of the Cardinals' first five games of the second half, so he should be well rested and capable of giving the club a decent amount of length for what will be his sixth start of the season. Over his previous five starts, Liberatore has turned in a 5.03 ERA and 18:5 K:BB across 19.2 innings.

Leone (elbow) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance with Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Leone, sidelined since May 20, has been cleared to return to game action. It's unclear how long his rehab stint will last, but it appears he has the chance to return by late July or early August.

Duran (5-5) took the loss Tuesday against Philadelphia, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks across two-thirds of an inning.

Duran took over in the ninth inning with the game tied 0-0, and he loaded the bases with one out, yielding a double to Bryce Harper and issuing two walks. Brandon Marsh broke the stalemate with a sacrifice fly and then Nick Castellanos ended Duran's appearance with a two-RBI double. The 26-year-old Duran has a 3.62 ERA through 32.1 innings but has converted 15 of his 16 save chances.

The Twins optioned Henriquez to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Henriquez has had three separate brief stints in the majors this season, and in the most recent one, he retired the only batter he faced. He hasn't permitted a run in three outings with the Twins in 2024 but will head back to St. Paul for now.

The Twins activated Stewart (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Stewart is finally ready to rejoin the Twins bullpen after being sidelined since early May with right shoulder tendinitis. He's been a lockdown reliever for Minnesota when healthy, collecting a 0.66 ERA and 56:17 K:BB through 41 innings since the start of the 2023 season. Stewart will help out the Twins in high-leverage situations.
