Yates (elbow) will make his next rehab appearance Wednesday with Triple-A Gwinnett, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Yates' last two rehab outings took place at Double-A Mississippi, and he's yet to surrender a run while on his current stint. "Everything's going really, really good right now," stated manager Brian Snitker, per Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Braves have yet to reveal a concrete timetable for the reliever's return, though it seems likely he'll need just a few more appearances in the minors before being activated from the 60-day injured list.

Hill was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Hill was optioned to Toledo on Thursday but will rejoin the Tigers' rotation as the starter for Tuesday's game against the Padres after Rony Garcia (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday. Hill has made three starts for the Tigers this year, posting a 5.63 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 16 innings.

King will undergo surgery on his fractured right elbow, and it's possible that he may also need Tommy John surgery, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

It was a foregone conclusion that King would need surgery for the fracture when the diagnosis was revealed Friday, but the possibility of Tommy John surgery could make the injury even more devastating for the right-handed hurler and the organization. Should the issue be limited to the fracture, King could be back in time for spring training next season, but Tommy John would knock him out for a vast majority (if not all) of 2023. The Yankees may have a tough time replacing him in the bullpen, as he had posted a 2.29 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 66:16 K:BB over 51 innings while picking up 16 holds, one save and three wins prior to the injury.

Phillips (5-3) earned the win over San Francisco on Sunday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over one scoreless inning.

The game was tied through six frames, and Phillips was brought in to handle the seventh. He allowed an inning-opening single but retired the next three batters to emerge unscathed. Phillips then found himself in line for the win as a result of the Dodgers scoring three times in the bottom of the frame. The right-hander continues to be a dominant presence in the team's bullpen -- since allowing two runs in his first appearance of the campaign, Phillips has posted a 1.18 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 44:11 K:BB over 38 innings while notching five wins, 11 holds and one save.

Hill will be called up from Triple-A Toledo to start Tuesday's game against the Padres, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The Tigers may wait until Tuesday to make the transaction official, but the rookie will be rejoining the rotation as a replacement for Rony Garcia (biceps), who will be placed on the 15-day injured list within the next two days. Hill has previously made three starts for the Tigers, with his most recent outing coming in a doubleheader against the White Sox last week when Detroit kicked off its second-half schedule. Over 16 big-league innings, Hill has recorded a 5.63 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB.

Sadzeck was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Monday.

Sadzeck was called up July 13 and appeared in two games, surrendering three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two over three innings. He will now either report to Triple-A Nashville, get claimed by another team or be released outright, the first of which seems most likely. Ethan Small was called up from Nashville on Monday to replace Sadzeck on the active roster.

Reyes (undisclosed) struck out two in two scoreless innings Sunday in his appearance for Triple-A Norfolk after being activated from the affiliate's 7-day injured list.

Reyes had been shelved for just over three weeks with the unspecified injury. The right-hander previously made three relief appearances for the Orioles earlier in 2022 and retains a spot on the 40-man roster, so he could be a candidate for a call-up at some point in the second half now that he's healthy again.

Coonrod (shoulder) began a rehab assignment Friday with Single-A Clearwater and struck out four over two scoreless frames between his first two appearances.

Coonrod could shift his rehab assignment to a higher-level affiliate at some point this week. The 29-year-old right-hander is still waiting to make his 2022 debut for the Phillies after he was placed on the injured list coming out of spring training due to a right shoulder strain.

Heasley (shoulder) covered 3.1 innings and gave up four runs (one earned) on six hits and zero walks while striking out three in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Omaha.

Heasley threw 60 pitches (40 strikes) in the outing, and while the Royals haven't determined the right-hander's next step, he may need one additional minor-league rehab start before slotting back into Kansas City's rotation. Before going on the shelf July 10 with right shoulder tendinitis, Heasley turned in a 5.50 ERA and 1.51 WHIP across 52.1 innings over his 11 starts for the Royals.

Pearson (lat) recently resumed a throwing program at the Blue Jays' spring training complex in Florida and is "somewhat close" to throwing bullpen sessions, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Pearson had been shut down for the past three weeks before he starting throwing again after he demonstrated enough healing from his strained right lat. Because Pearson has been on the injured list all season due to a prolonged bout with mononucleosis before suffering the lat strain in late June, the Blue Jays may not be inclined to have him build up for starting duty. If he ends up returning from the 60-day IL as a reliever, Pearson would still likely need a few weeks to complete his throwing progression and a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated.
