Perdomo was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Perdomo appeared in three games after being called up July 17, allowing one run and striking out six in 2.2 innings of work. His 6.46 ERA in 2021 doesn't exactly merit a return to the Brewers, but injuries in the bullpen could certainly give him another opportunity before the season ends. Devin Williams (elbow) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move Tuesday.

Williams (elbow) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

The changeup specialist ultimately missed the minimum amount of time after landing on the injured list July 17 with elbow soreness. Before the injury, Williams had held opponents scoreless in six consecutive appearances and 14 of his last 15. On the season, the righty has 15 holds in 18 opportunities as one of Milwaukee's top high-leverage relief options.

Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday that Hernandez (quadriceps) will face hitters in a live batting practice session at the team's spring training facility in Jupiter, Fla., Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Hernandez was able to complete bullpen sessions last week without incident, so he'll move on to the next phase of his rehab from a strained right quad. If he steers clear of any setbacks while throwing live BP, Hernandez could then head out on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 26-year-old right-hander has made just two starts for the big club this season, as he previously missed two months of action with right biceps tendon inflammation.

Santillan struck out three while allowing one hit over 1.2 innings Monday against the Cubs in relief of starter Wade Miley.

Santillan had a couple of rough appearances after the All-Star break, but he's now thrown three straight scoreless outings, striking out at least two in each. That may not seem like much, but it might be enough to put him in a higher-leverage spot his next time out.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Andriese (hamstring) threw off a mound Monday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Cora didn't specify whether Andriese completed a full bullpen session, but the fact that the right-hander has advanced from throwing off flat ground is seemingly a positive sign as he continues his recovery from a right hamstring injury. Once he's able to face hitters in live batting practice, Andriese should head out on a brief minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining Boston's bullpen.

The Tigers reinstated Fulmer (neck) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

As expected, Fulmer returns for Tuesday's series opener in Minnesota after fully recovering from a neck strain, which has sidelined him since June 27. The starter-turned reliever has posted a 4.05 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 40 innings of work this season, recording six saves and four holds while blowing a pair of saves. He figures to rejoin Gregory Soto and Jose Cisnero as Detroit's top high-leverage relief options.

Anderson (elbow) fired a perfect inning for the Rays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate on Monday, recording two strikeouts.

So far, so good for Anderson, albeit against a very low level of competition, in his first two rehab appearances. Per Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network, Anderson's rehab will be moved to Triple-A Durham beginning Thursday. Assuming all continues to go well in the minors, the right-hander should remain on track to be activated sometime in the first half of August.

Swanson fired two scoreless innings in a win over the Astros on Monday, allowing no hits and one walk.

Swanson's pair of strong frames ended up being integral to the comeback win, as he bought the Mariners some time after the Astros had racked up eight runs through the first five innings. The 27-year-old has been dominant when called upon this season, with Tuesday's effort whittling his ERA and WHIP down to 0.49 and 0.82, respectively, across 14 appearances.

The Orioles promoted Rom from High-A Aberdeen to Double-A Bowie on Tuesday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Rom will move up a rung on the minor-league ladder after submitting a 2.79 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 73:17 K:BB in 67.2 innings. The 21-year-old lefty was part of the Orioles' 2018 draft class, which also included one of the top pitching prospects in all of baseball in first-round selection Grayson Rodriguez.

Rangers president of baseball operations Jon Daniels said last week that Palumbo will likely be shut down for the rest of the season after he picked up an undisclosed injury at Triple-A Round Rock in late June, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

Palumbo missed time in May and June due to a back strain, but it's unclear whether his latest health setback is related to that injury. He last appeared in a game for Round Rock on June 24 before being placed on the 7-day injured list two weeks later. Daniels suggested that Palumbo's shutdown will just be extended through the summer, so the 26-year-old lefty could be ready to go for the Rangers' fall instructionals.
