Gallen (elbow) completed a 33-pitch bullpen session in Arizona on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Gallen was able to complete the throwing session without any issues, successfully taking the next step in his recovery from right elbow inflammation. The right-hander isn't eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list until Sept. 7, so Gallen could throw another bullpen session or two before moving on to facing live hitters and eventually heading out on a rehab assignment.

Burnes (elbow/shoulder) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session in Arizona on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Burnes has been sidelined for the entirety of the 2026 campaign while recovering from June 2025 Tommy John surgery and a teres major strain, the latter of which resulted in him being shut down from throwing in early June. The right-hander has been throwing bullpen sessions for approximately two weeks and looks to be on track for a return from the 60-day injured list in early September.

Snell (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Tuesday night against the Royals.

Snell will officially make his return to action with the Dodgers after missing nearly three months while recovering from a procedure to remove loose bodies from his left elbow. The southpaw has made just one start with Los Angeles this season, surrendering five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out five batters over three innings May 9 versus Atlanta. Snell was able to build up to 73 total pitches in his final minor-league rehab start Aug. 4 with Triple-A Oklahoma City, so he will likely be able to handle a somewhat regular workload against Kansas City.

The Tigers placed Mayfield (undisclosed) on the minor-league 7-day injured list Tuesday, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.

Mayfield, who was acquired by the Tigers at the trade deadline, will have to wait a bit before he makes his organizational debut. The details of why he was placed on the injured list Tuesday have not been revealed.

The Brewers designated Richardson for assignment Tuesday.

Richardson appeared in one game after getting called up from Triple-A on Saturday, during which he gave up zero hits and a walk over 1.2 scoreless innings. He'll now lose his place on the active and 40-man rosters to make room for Bryse Wilson, who signed a major-league deal with the Crew on Tuesday.

Philadelphia demoted Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Rangel was roughed up in his lone outing Monday since returning to the big-league club on August 9. The right-hander went 2.2 innings, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three against St. Louis. The Phillies elevated Alex McFarlane to replace Rangel on the active roster.

Yesavage (knee) underwent surgery to repair his torn meniscus Tuesday and is considered week-to-week, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Manager John Schneider said the Blue Jays haven't ruled out Yesavage for the remainder of the 2026 season. The 23-year-old has been limited to 18 big-league starts this season due to shoulder and knee injuries. He's posted a 3.65 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 91:46 K:BB across 93.2 innings and is in the 91st percentile in expected opponent batting average (.200).

Cincinnati reinstated Lodolo (finger) from the 15-day injured list, and he will start Tuesday's matchup against the White Sox.

Lodolo will return from the IL after being sidelined for just under a month of action. The southpaw needed just one rehab start with Triple-A Louisville, which spanned 4.1 innings, before rejoining the big-league club. On the season, the 28-year-old owns a 3-2 record, 4.60 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 50:27 K:BB through 62.2 innings. The Reds optioned Zach McCambley to Louisville in a corresponding move.

The Reds transferred Greene (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

Greene is out for the remainder of the 2026 season and will soon undergo surgery to repair a partially torn UCL in his right elbow, which will keep him on the shelf for most or all of the 2027 campaign. The 27-year-old opened the current season on the IL after requiring a procedure in the spring to remove bone chips from his elbow and ended up making just five starts for the Reds, logging a 6.83 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 33:9 K:BB across 27.2 innings.

Toronto placed Taillon on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendinitis on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Taillon completed just four innings Monday against Boston before being removed with discomfort in his right forearm. The 34-year-old will head to the IL for the second time this season and first time as a member of the Blue Jays. The right-hander made just two starts for Toronto since being dealt to the club on Aug. 2 from the Cubs. The Blue Jays recalled Chase Lee from Triple-A Buffalo to take Taillon's spot on the active roster.
