Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD
Rays' Tyler Glasnow: Throws off mound
Glasnow (elbow) threw off a mound Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Glasnow's session came while he was in Texas for a follow-up visit regarding his elbow. He's been optimistic for a while now that he'll return before the end of the season, and he's making steady progress, though when exactly he'll make it back is not yet clear.

Reid Detmers SP | LAA
Angels' Reid Detmers: Making major-league debut Sunday
Detmers will make his major-league debut Sunday against the Athletics.
Detmers advanced to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday and struck out nine in six scoreless frames during his lone appearance with the club. He'll serve as a starter after Alex Cobb (wrist) was placed on the injured list and Shohei Ohtani (thumb) was pushed back to start Monday, but whether Detmers remains in the big-league rotation could depend on his results Sunday.

Martin Perez SP | ATL
Red Sox's Martin Perez: Allows three homers in loss
Perez (7-7) allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk with three strikeouts in four innings, taking the loss versus Tampa Bay on Friday.
For just the second time in 21 starts, Perez yielded three home runs. The six runs allowed also matched a season high for the 30-year-old. He's now gone four starts without a win, posting an 0-3 record in that span. Perez has a 4.56 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 83:33 K:BB across 98.2 innings this season. He lines up for a favorable road start in Detroit next week.

Jameson Taillon SP | TOR
Yankees' Jameson Taillon: Fans five in win
Taillon (7-4) earned the win over Miami on Friday. He allowed five hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.2 scoreless innings.
The right-hander benefited from facing a Miami team depleted of talent at the trade deadline. Taillon was an out short of a quality start, but he's still allowed just six runs (four earned) in 31 innings in July. His strong work lately has dropped his ERA to 4.11 with a 1.24 WHIP and 98:31 K:BB across 100.2 innings overall. The 29-year-old lines up for another easy start next week versus Baltimore.

Brady Singer SP | CIN
Royals' Brady Singer: Begins rehab assignment
Singer (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Friday.
Singer is already eligible to return from a bout of shoulder fatigue but will make at least one rehab start before doing so. If that one outing is all he needs, he should return to the active roster sometime next week.
-
Alex Cobb SP | DET
Angels' Alex Cobb: Placed on injured list
Cobb was placed on the 10-day injured list with right wrist inflammation Friday, retroactive to July 27.
Cobb was initially diagnosed with a blister on his right index finger, but he's apparently dealing with a wrist injury that will sideline him for at least 10 days. Since the move can was backdated to July 27, he'll be eligible to return late next week, but it's not clear whether he'll be able to do so.

James Paxton SP | BOS
Mariners' James Paxton: Remaining involved during recovery
Paxton (forearm), who is out until 2022, has been participating in rehabilitation sessions at T-Mobile Park on a near-daily basis and serving as a mentor to younger pitchers on the roster, the team's official site reports.
The veteran left-hander still has a long road ahead in his recovery, but the fact he's making the best of an unfavorable situation is certainly encouraging. Paxton has reportedly remained free of setbacks in his work back from season-ending surgery for a left forearm strain and continues to have a chance to return to the mound at some point before the All-Star break next season.

Corey Kluber SP | BOS
Yankees' Corey Kluber: Could face live hitters soon
Kluber (shoulder) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Wednesday and is expected to start throwing to live hitters following one additional bullpen session, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
The right-hander has now been out for over two months with a subscapularis strain in his right shoulder, but he appears to be moving closer to a return to the Yankees' rotation. His past two bullpen sessions have lasted 20 and 30 pitches, and he'll likely increase that number once more before facing live hitters. If he continues to progress without any setbacks, Kluber could return to the big club in late August or early September.
