The Tigers activated Montero (personal) from the paternity list Monday.

Montero was briefly away from the team for the birth of his daughter, but he's back with the Tigers and is tentatively lined up to face the Blue Jays on Wednesday, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. Montero has a 4-3 record across his 10 starts since the All-Star break with a 3.99 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over 49.2 innings.

Weathers (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

It's another positive step in Weathers' recovery from a left forearm flexor strain that landed him on the 15-day injured list Aug. 23. The minor-league season is drawing to a close, so the 26-year-old southpaw will need a few bullpen sessions before rejoining the Yankees, which could happen before the end of the regular season.

Bieber (shoulder) will throw a side session off a mound Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Bieber hasn't pitched since Aug. 20 due to shoulder inflammation, and he'll have to build his arm back up before returning to game action. The right-hander will be up against the clock to make it back in time before the end of the regular season. He underwent an MRI on Sunday to confirm that the injury was healing, and the team was encouraged by the results of his imaging, per Hazel Mae of Sportsnet. Bieber has made just 11 starts this season, posting a 4.37 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 44:24 K:BB across 55.2 innings.

Severino (shoulder) logged a bullpen session Saturday and is expected to have a normal offseason, per MLB.com.

Severino hit the injured list May 30 due to a right shoulder strain that will ultimately keep him out of action for the remainder of the season. While the right-hander won't return to a big-league mound in 2026, he seems to be progressing well in his rehab and reportedly "looked good" in Saturday's session. Severino could opt out of his contract and turn down his $22 million player option for 2027 to hit the open market, but after an injury-marred campaign, he's likely to return to the Athletics. Before hitting the shelf, the 32-year-old posted a 2-6 record with a 4.16 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 65:31 K:BB across 62.2 innings (12 starts).

Burke is expected to pitch in bulk relief behind opener Sean Newcomb in Monday's game against the Guardians, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Over his last three starts, Burke has allowed nine runs while issuing 14 walks in just 10 innings, so the White Sox will deploy the right-hander behind a lefty opener for his upcoming turn through the rotation with the hope of generating better results. Burke has previously made four appearances out of the bullpen this season, delivering a stellar 1.80 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 26:6 K:BB in 25 innings.

Miller did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits, five walks and a hit-by-pitch over five innings against the Athletics. He struck out five.

After allowing a pair of solo homers in the first inning, Miller was able to work four scoreless frames the rest of the way, though his control was poor. The right-hander has stumbled of late, going 0-4 with a 7.29 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 32:21 K:BB over his past seven outings spanning 33.1 innings. On the year, Miller owns a 4-9 record with a 4.19 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 106:34 K:BB across 107.1 innings (20 appearances). His next start is tentatively lined up for next weekend on the road against the Rockies.

Lopez did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks over 3.2 innings against the Mariners. He struck out three.

Lopez worked two scoreless frames before running into trouble in the third and fourth innings, departing at 102 pitches (63 strikes). While Sunday's showing was subpar, the southpaw has been much better in the second half, posting a 3.34 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 64:22 K:BB across 59.1 innings (11 starts) since the All-Star break. With an overall 6-4 record, 5.02 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 107:56 K:BB in 114.2 innings (25 appearances), Lopez is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Saturday against the Guardians.

Cameron took a no-decision Sunday against Boston, allowing one run on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out four.

Cameron appeared to be unfazed by Sunday's contest being pushed back almost two hours due to inclement weather, holding the Red Sox in check for six frames. The southpaw has turned his campaign around in a big way since the All-Star break, producing a 2.42 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 58:20 K:BB over his last 70.2 innings. He'll look to further build on a season 3.84 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 149:52 K:BB across 166.1 innings in his next appearance in Pittsburgh.

Tolle took a no-decision Sunday against the Royals, allowing four hits and one walk in six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

Tolle showed no ill effects of Sunday's first pitch being delayed nearly two hours due to rain, scattering four singles across six shutout frames. The left-hander has pitched at least 5.1 innings while yielding two runs or fewer in six of his last eight starts, and he notably fired an immaculate inning to open Sunday's outing. He's set to bring a 3.02 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 166:38 K:BB over 143 innings into his next appearance against the Rays in pitcher-friendly Tampa Bay.

Jump (shoulder) is likely to be placed on the 15-day injured list, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

Jump was dealing with left shoulder tightness during his last start Saturday against the Mariners. Whether he goes on the IL will be determined Tuesday, but if that is indeed the route that is chosen, then Jump's 2026 season will likely be over. Across 20 starts, Jump has a 6-11 record with a 5.47 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 108:46 K:BB over 98.2 innings.
