The Yankees activated Leiter (leg) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Leiter is recovered from the left fibular head stress fracture that sent him to the injured list in early July, and he's back with the Yankees after delivering a scoreless frame in his lone rehab appearance. The right-hander has a 4.46 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 46:12 K:BB across 34.1 innings and should return to a middle-relief role for New York.

The Brewers sent Miller (forearm) to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

The Brewers acquired Miller from the Diamondbacks at the trade deadline knowing he would still need some time to work his way back from a strained forearm. Miller has been out for nearly a month, so he'll probably need at least a couple rehab appearances before joining the Brewers bullpen. The righty delivered a 1.98 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 40:11 K:BB while notching 10 saves over 36.1 frames for Arizona before landing on the injured list July 7.

The Yankees are expected to designate Brubaker for assignment Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Brubaker has managed a 3.38 ERA in 12 relief appearances for the Yankees, but it's come with an uninspiring 10:9 K:BB over 16 frames. The 31-year-old didn't pitch in the majors in 2023 or 2024 while recovering from multiple injuries, including Tommy John surgery. Brubaker will likely pass through waivers unclaimed.

The Pirates are expected to call up Sanders from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Sanders made a mechanical adjustment while at Double-A Altoona and has taken off, compiling a 1.91 ERA and 51:20 K:BB over 42.1 frames between Altoona and Indianapolis. The 28-year-old reliever will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

Seymour picked up a hold in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Pirates, allowing two earned runs on one home run and one walk while striking out two across two innings.

Seymour retired the side in order in the sixth inning, but he gave up a walk and a subsequent home run in the seventh. Still, the right-hander protected the lead and earned his first hold in five big-league appearances. During that span, he has allowed six earned runs -- including five homers -- on 13 hits and four walks while striking out 11 over 11 innings.

Assad (oblique) struck out two and allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk across 3.2 innings in his rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Iowa.

After tossing three scoreless frames in his first rehab outing July 24 in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, Assad jumped up a few levels for his second outing. The right-hander got stretched out to 53 pitches (32 strikes) in the start and is expected to build upon that workload when he makes his next rehab appearance with Iowa on Wednesday, per MLB.com reports. Though Assad still appears more likely than not to work in long relief or stick around in Iowa's rotation once he's activated from the 60-day injured list, he could be needed to make starts with the big club if he ends up beating Jameson Taillon (calf) and Michael Soroka (shoulder) back from the IL.

The Yankees are expected to reinstate Leiter (fibula) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

New York has already cleared a spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen by optioning right-hander Jake Bird to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but Leiter's activation isn't expected to be made official until a few hours prior to Tuesday's game against the Rangers. After landing on the IL on July 8 due to a left fibular head stress fracture, Leiter made rapid progress in his recovery and made a rehab appearance for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, tossing a scoreless inning. He'll likely work in middle relief for the Yankees.

The Yankees optioned Bird to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Bird has yielded seven runs (six earned) over two innings in three appearances since being acquired by the Yankees at the trade deadline. He'll likely get another opportunity later this season, but Bird's struggles date back to mid-June, so he'll try to iron out his issues in the minors.

Brasier (0-1) allowed a run on two hits while retiring two batters in relief to take the loss in Monday's 3-2 defeat to the Reds.

After Michael Soroka covered two innings before departing with a shoulder injury and Ben Brown worked the next four frames, Brasier came on in the seventh with the game tied 2-2. The veteran reliever allowed an RBI single to TJ Friedl that broke the tie and ultimately saddled him with his first loss of the season. Brasier still has a solid 3.27 ERA and 1.05 WHIP this year, and he should retain a key role in a Chicago bullpen that added Taylor Rogers and Andrew Kittredge before the trade deadline.

Davis was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Davis was demoted along with DaShawn Keirsey to make room for Luke Keaschall and Thomas Hatch. Davis struggled in his lone appearance since being promoted Wednesday, surrendering two runs on one hit while striking out three over two innings.
