Junis has been dealing with a shoulder issue since his last start Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said the team is still waiting for imaging results to come back on Junis' shoulder, which will offer more information on whether or not the right-hander will be able to make his next start -- tentatively scheduled for Monday versus the Reds. Should Junis miss his turn through the rotation, Aaron Ashby will come up from Triple-A Nashville to take his place.

Green picked up the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Yankees, working around two hits in a scoreless ninth inning.

The Yankees made things interesting with a couple of two-out base hits in the ninth, but Green would ultimately retire Alex Verdugo on a fly ball to the warning track to earn his first save since 2022. The 32-year-old right-hander is part of a closing committee with Yimi Garcia and Tim Mayza while Jordan Romano (elbow) is sidelined. Green pitched 12 innings with Toronto last year, going 3-0 with two holds and a 5.25 ERA.

Mushinski was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

He's clearing out to make room for waiver claim Miguel Diaz. Mushinski has allowed four runs (two earned) over 1.1 innings with the Astros this season.

Tonkin was designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters for Julio Teheran. Tonkin allowed eight runs (two earned) over four innings covering three relief appearances with the Mets. There would seem to be a good chance the 34-year-old passes through waivers unclaimed.

Speas was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Robbie Grossman. Speas has a big arm, so he could draw interest via trade or waivers from a club hoping it can help him with his control issues.

Jackson (back) is currently throwing from 90 feet, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Jackson will be reevaluated Friday to see if he's ready to begin throwing off a mound. The reliever suffered a lower-back strain Opening Day and will be eligible to return next weekend, although it's not clear at this point whether he'll be ready at that time.

Hjelle (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A San Jose on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Hjelle is slated for one relief inning in what will be his first game appearance since he was diagnosed with a partial UCL tear in his pitching elbow back in early March. The Giants likely want to build Hjelle up for a long relief role, so he figures to require a handful of rehab appearances.

Curry (illness) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out seven over 2.2 innings in his rehab start Thursday versus Triple-A Omaha.

Curry came down with a respiratory virus late in spring training, so he's getting back up to speed in the minors. The right-hander is not guaranteed to join the major-league roster once activated from the injured list -- it's possible the Guardians option him to Triple-A Columbus to allow him to continue to build up as a starter, or they could keep him in the big-league bullpen as a multi-inning reliever.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Treinen (chest) is "weeks" away from a return, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Treinen began a throwing program nearly a week ago after suffering a bruised lung when he was struck in the chest by a comebacker in early March. Because he was shut down for so long, he will need time to ramp things back up. A timeline for the veteran reliever should become clear once he's throwing off a mound again.

Garrett (1-0) picked up the win in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers, giving up two hits and a walk over three scoreless innings of relief. He struck out four.

After Jose Butto tossed one-run ball over six innings, Garrett saved a Mets bullpen that had been taxed in the matinee by working the rest of the game, and he got rewarded for his efforts when New York finally pushed two runs across in the ninth. It's only the second big-league win of Garrett's career in 32 appearances, and his 6.65 ERA and 1.90 WHIP in 47.1 innings don't make a strong case for anything more than a low-leverage role. Despite Thursday's performance, the 31-year-old seems likely to get booted off the 26-man roster when the Mets next have a need for a fresh arm.
