Reds manager Terry Francona said that Greene (elbow) is slated to throw around 75 pitches during a rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Jaron May of WLWT Cincinnati reports.

Greene threw 54 pitches over four scoreless innings in his first rehab start last week in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, and he will continue to build up his stamina as he moves up to the Reds' top minor-league affiliate. Francona noted Tuesday that there remains no target date for Greene's return to the big-league rotation, as it depends on how the hurler's body responds. However, with Greene slated to get his pitch count up to 75, his season debut is likely right around the corner.

Manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Scott (hip) is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start this weekend against the Phillies, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

The right-hander will be eligible to be reinstated from the injured list Saturday, so his stay on the shelf due to a hip impingement will end up being a brief one. Scott threw a simulated game Monday and wil re-enter the Mets' starting rotation without a minor-league rehab assignment.

Meyer (bereavement) is expected to start Friday in St. Louis, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Meyer was placed on the bereavement list Monday, but it will not cost him a turn in the Marlins' rotation, as he'll be taking the ball on five days' rest Friday. The righty has had a breakout season in Miami, going 8-0 while collecting a 2.80 ERA and 102:34 K:BB over 90 innings covering 16 starts.

Leiter underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove a loose body from his right ankle region Tuesday and should be considered out indefinitely, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Leiter is expected back before the end of the season but is without an official recovery timeline, so it's safe to assume he'll be sidelined for the foreseeable future. The right-hander landed on the injured list over the weekend due to a posterior impingement in his right ankle, which he apparently has been pitching through for most of the campaign.

Perez (gracilis) will return from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game versus the Rangers, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.

Manager Clayton McCullough indicated Monday that Perez would return from the IL on Wednesday as long as the right-hander bounced back from a pitch-design session without incident, and that appears to have come to pass. Perez's absence due to a right gracilis muscle strain lasted four weeks, which is half of the initial projected timetable laid out by McCullough when the 23-year-old initially landed on the shelf May 29. He threw 51 pitches in his lone rehab start, so Perez's workload may be limited Wednesday.

Jones had additional imaging on his right elbow come back clean and played catch Tuesday, though manager Don Kelly indicated it's too early to know if the right-hander will be ready for his next turn through the rotation, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Jones departed his start Sunday against the Rockies after being struck in the right elbow by a comebacker, and he's now had multiple rounds of medical imaging return negative. Those results are encouraging, but the 24-year-old's availability will likely depend on how he responds to his between-starts bullpen session, which should be scheduled for Wednesday or Thursday.

Crow (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

It appears to be the first time Crow has thrown off the bump since he suffered a mild right flexor strain earlier this month. Crow should be ready for a rehab assignment before long, but he might be sent to Triple-A Nashville rather than rejoin the big-league club once he's deemed ready for activation.

Henderson (back) is aiming to begin a rehab assignment Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Henderson has been shelved for the past month with a lower-back strain, but he's advanced his recovery to the point that a rehab start is imminent. The right-hander will likely require multiple rehab outings before rejoining the Brewers around the All-Star break if all goes well.

Bratt has joined the Diamondbacks' taxi squad and is expected to be called up from Triple-A Reno to make his major-league debut Wednesday in St. Louis, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Bratt has logged a 2.84 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB over 44.1 innings covering 11 starts this season with Reno. The left-hander recently returned from a brief stint on Reno's 7-day injured list due to a back injury and threw just 48 pitches over four frames in his most recent start last Wednesday, so he won't have a full workload at his disposal in St. Louis. Bratt is filling the rotation spot vacated by Michael Soroka (glute), and Bratt could receive at least one additional start beyond Wednesday while Soroka recovers.

The Blue Jays activated Bieber (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Bieber is set to make his 2026 debut Tuesday with a start at home against the Astros. The right-hander got a late start to the season as he worked his way back from an elbow issue that had nagged at him since last season. Bieber had an up-and-down showing on his rehab assignment, posting a 6.88 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB across 17 innings. He went five innings in each of his last two rehab starts and reached 80 pitches in his final outing, so Bieber should be ready to handle around 90 pitches versus Houston.
