Miller was recalled from Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers on Monday.

Miller has been sharp in his chances with the big club this season, allowing one run over 4.2 innings. He figures to slide into a middle relief role.

May (personal) logged two rehab appearances for Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday and Saturday, allowing an earned run on a solo home run while also issuing a walk and recording a strikeout over 1.2 innings.

It was May's second and third rehab outing for the Aviators since resuming his rehab assignment Tuesday. The veteran reliever is looking to work back into a rhythm and regain confidence after anxiety-related issues landed him on the injured list April 19. While the recent frequency of appearances is encouraging, there's still no firm timetable on May's potential activation.

Herrin was optioned back to Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Herrin will return to Triple-A after he was called up Friday, failing to appear in a game while with the Guardians. The left-hander has produced a 4.70 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 10 strikeouts over 7.2 innings in seven appearances with Columbus this season.

Hendriks (illness) threw a simulated game at Progressive Field in Cleveland on Monday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

The White Sox have been vague about a potential timetable for Hendriks' activation, but the fact that he's travelled with them on their road trip would seem to bode well for his chances to return soon. Hendriks posted a 10.80 ERA in six rehab appearances while struggling with his velocity, so it's possible he'll be used in low-leverage situations initially when he is activated.

Burdi was recalled from Triple-A Durham by the Rays on Monday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Burdi is replacing Jake Diekman, who went on paternity leave. He's tossed three scoreless frames with the Rays this season but might be headed back to Durham once Diekman returns.

Diekman was placed on the paternity list Monday.

Diekman will be away from the team for up to three days while with his expanding family. Right-hander Zack Burdi was called up from Triple-A Durham to replace him on the major-league roster in the meantime.

Lambert will serve as an opener for the White Sox on Monday in Cleveland, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Though he'll be drawing the start in place of the injured Mike Clevinger (wrist), Lambert hasn't recorded more than five outs in an appearance this season and is unlikely to work more than once through the order. Chicago called up Jesse Scholtens from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, and he could end up serving as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen once Lambert exits the contest.

Moreta (1-1) took the loss Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He allowed an unearned run on a hit while striking out one over one-third of an inning.

Moreta replaced Roansy Contreras to start the sixth inning, striking out Corbin Carroll before Christian Walker reached on a Ke'Bryan Hayes throwing error. Walker would score on Lourdes Gurriel's base hit, giving Arizona a 4-3 lead and eventually handing Moreta his first loss. Overall, the 27-year-old Moreta has been excellent for Pittsburgh. He still hasn't allowed an earned run since April 26, a span of 10.2 innings. He sports a 2.14 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB across 21 innings this season.

Abreu (2-1) earned the win Sunday against the Reds, striking out one over 1.1 perfect innings.

Abreu relieved Luis Severino in the fifth inning before pitching a clean sixth to earn his second win of the season. The 27-year-old Abreu has delivered three consecutive -scoreless appearances, allowing just one walk in that span, after surrendering three runs in his previous three outings. Abreu lowered his ERA to 4.24 with a 1.46 WHIP and 25:16 K:BB while recording three holds in 23.1 innings this year.

The Athletics outrighted Neal to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

Neal will remain in the Oakland organization after he cleared waivers upon being designated for assignment Friday. The 34-year-old right-hander made his first big-league appearances since 2018 earlier this season, giving up three earned runs on four hits and zero walks in 3.1 innings out of the bullpen.
