Miller (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session Monday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

It would appear to be the first time Miller has faced hitters since he was shelved a month ago with a sprained left elbow. He's expected to require at least a couple rehab appearances before rejoining the Giants' bullpen, setting Miller up to return around mid-August if all goes well.

The Rays claimed Scholtens off waivers from the White Sox on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Durham.

Scholtens didn't pitch at all in 2024 and has been limited to 10 appearances (eight starts) in 2025 in the minors after recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 31-year-old has collected a 5.25 ERA and 30:12 K:BB over 36 innings this season and will likely slot into Durham's rotation.

The Pirates designated Cabrera for assignment Monday.

The transaction clears spots on the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster for right-hander Johan Oviedo (lat/elbow), who was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start in Monday's contest versus the Giants. Cabrera has made 24 relief appearances at the big-league level in 2025 while splitting time between three different teams, posting a 5.79 ERA and 22:7 K:BB over 28 frames.

The Orioles optioned Roth to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Roth was with the big club for nearly a week but didn't make an appearance. He's being removed from the active roster to clear a spot for left-hander Cade Povich (hip), who is back from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's game in Philadelphia.

The Mets optioned Warren to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

After starter Frankie Montas was tagged for seven earned runs in four innings in Sunday's 12-4 loss to the Giants, Warren stepped in admirably to save the New York bullpen from overuse. He struck out five over four shutout frames in relief, but because he was unlikely to be available for at least a couple of days following the 58-pitch appearance, he'll be swapped out in favor of a fresh arm. Right-hander Dom Hamel was called up from Syracuse to replace Warren in the bullpen.

Gipson-Long (neck) tossed three scoreless innings in a rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo on Friday. He hit a batter and struck out five.

Other than hitting the one batter, Gipson-Long kept the opponent of the base paths and looked sharp in the outing, during which he tossed 42 pitches. The righty had last appeared for Toledo on July 18, but he was pulled off his rehab assignment after he reported continued neck stiffness plus general fatigue coming out of that start. Following a few weeks off, Gipson-Long appears to be rounding into form, and he could return for the Tigers later this month, though it remains to be seen what his role might be with the team.

Morgan (elbow) has built back up to throwing off a mound, but he's without a definitive target date for a return from the 60-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

Morgan is dealing with a right elbow impingement, which has kept him out since the middle of April. After beginning a rehab assignment in June, the veteran reliever suffered a setback, and he's been slowly building himself back up since then. While his ability to throw off a mound is a good sign, Morgan doesn't appear particularly close to returning from the 60-day injured list.

Atlanta released Cuas on Monday.

Cuas made 13 relief appearances in the majors in 2024 between stops with the Cubs and Blue Jays, but he's pitched exclusively in the minors in 2025 as a member of the Philadelphia and Atlanta organizations. After being cut loose by Philadelphia in May, Cuas quickly caught on with Atlanta and reported to Double-A Columbus, where he had logged a 3.22 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 23:18 K:BB in 22.1 innings over 18 relief appearances.

Adams will start Monday's game in Detroit, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

All four of Adams' appearances to this point at the major-league level have come in relief, but he has gone at least 3.1 innings in three of those outings, including during his last appearance July 27. While Adams may not be in line for a traditional start Monday, he's stretched out to provide anywhere from 3-to-4 innings before turning the game over to the bullpen.

Lucchesi threw a scoreless inning in Sunday's 12-4 win over the Mets, allowing two hits while striking out one.

Lucchesi delivered a bounce-back performance after surrendering two earned runs on just 11 pitches over one-third of an inning during Friday's win over the Mets. While it took the 32-year-old 23 pitches to escape the inning Sunday, he stranded two Mets runners. He now owns a 2.41 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and an 18:3 K:BB across 18.2 innings in 18 outings this season.
