The Dodgers optioned Miller to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Miller made his first appearance with the Dodgers since May 2025 on Sunday, allowing one run in three innings versus the Nationals. His spot on the roster is being taken by Emmet Sheehan.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo confirmed Monday that Burnes (elbow/shoulder) will return from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game versus the Royals in Kansas City, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

Burnes will be making his season debut for the Diamondbacks, after his return from June 2025 Tommy John surgery was delayed when he sustained a teres major strain in June. The right-hander threw 17 pitches over two scoreless innings in his lone rehab start and then appeared in a bridge game last week to get further stretched out. Per MLB.com, Burnes tossed three innings and 43 pitches in the bridge game and then threw seven more pitches out of the bullpen, so it's difficult to imagine him pushing far past 60 pitches duringTuesday's start.

Rogers (10-9) notched the win against Cleveland on Monday, allowing one run on six hits and no walks in 7.1 innings. He struck out six.

Rogers emptied the tank for the Orioles on Monday amid a heated American League playoff race, throwing a season-high 104 pitches in a season-long outing. The left-hander has really turned his campaign around following a dismal start to the year, yielding two earned runs or fewer in 13 of his last 17 appearances since the beginning of June. He'll take a 4.15 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 138:37 K:BB over 151.2 innings into his next scheduled start in Toronto.

Cantillo (9-9) took the loss against Baltimore on Monday, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks in 2.1 innings. He struck out three.

Cantillo looked to be a step slow for a rare Monday afternoon start, landing only 35 of his 72 pitches for strikes. It was his shortest outing since the beginning of June, excluding a rain-shortened Aug. 9 start against the White Sox, and he's now conceded four earned runs in back-to-back appearances after giving up two runs or fewer in his prior six. The southpaw will look to right the ship this weekend in Minnesota, where he'll tote a 4.00 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 154:77 K:BB over 144 innings.

Perez (7-11) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, allowing seven runs (five earned) on 10 hits and three walks in four innings. He struck out five.

Perez wasn't sharp during a rare Monday afternoon first-pitch time, surrendering a season-high 10 knocks in another short start. The right-hander is showing real signs of fatigue amid the campaign's final stages, working fewer than five innings while yielding at least five runs in three straight outings. Things won't get any easier with the Dodgers looming for his next scheduled appearance, with Perez now carrying a 3.94 ERA, 1.24 WHIP 150:62 K:BB over a career-high 139.1 innings.

Early (elbow) will make an appearance in a bridge game Tuesday at the Nationals' spring training complex in Florida, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Though it will not go down as an official appearance, Early will be pitching in a game for the first time since he went down with left elbow inflammation in early July. It's unclear how many pitches Early is scheduled to throw Tuesday, but he will likely require at least one additional rehab start before joining the big-league rotation. Early was acquired from the Red Sox at the trade deadline and will be making his Nationals debut when he gets into a game.

Luzardo (14-5) notched the win against Atlanta on Monday, allowing two hits and one walk in nine scoreless innings. He struck out 12.

Luzardo outdueled Grant Holmes in Monday's 1-0 victory, pitching both his first career complete game and shutout. The southpaw has been rolling on the hill since the onset of August, throwing at least 5.2 innings while yielding two runs or fewer in each of his last seven starts. He's set to finish a two-start week over the weekend in Atlanta while carrying a 2.87 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 221:52 K:BB over 178.2 innings for the season.

Yesavage (knee) is expected to face hitters in live batting practice Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Yesavage checked out fine following a 23-pitch bullpen session Friday and is set to throw off a mound again Monday before advancing to facing hitters. Assuming the young right-hander steers clear of any setbacks in his recovery from meniscus surgery as he moves through his throwing program, he should be on track to return from the 15-day injured list before the end of the season. However, Yesavage likely won't be stretched out enough to handle a traditional starting role once he's activated and could act as more of an opener or get deployed in a piggyback arrangement with another pitcher.

Holmes took a no-decision against the Phillies on Monday, allowing three hits and two walks in six scoreless innings. He struck out six.

Holmes looked sharp Monday, blanking a potent Philadelphia lineup over six frames. The six strikeouts were the right-hander's most since May 23 versus the Nationals, and he's now turned in five scoreless starts in his last seven since the beginning of August. He's in line to wrap up a two-start week in a home rematch with the Phillies this weekend, holding a 3.46 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 110:57 K:BB over 137.2 innings for the season.

Prielipp could be a candidate to pitch bulk innings in relief behind starter Joe Ryan (glute) during Monday's game in Detroit, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

As he makes his return from the 15-day injured list Monday for his first appearance for the Twins since Aug. 4, Ryan isn't expected to be ready to handle a traditional starting role after tossing just three innings and 42 pitches in his lone minor-league rehab start prior to being activated. The Twins had already been planning on managing Prielipp's workload as the season winds down, so skipping the rookie's turn in the rotation and having him cover a few innings behind Ryan would seem to be a sensible approach. Ryan should be mostly stretched out the next time his turn in the rotation comes up, so Prielipp could be headed for a more flexible bullpen role following Monday's contest.
