Burrows (elbow) will make a rehab start for Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Burrows tossed 55 pitches over three innings at Houston's complex Saturday, and as previously reported, he'll make his next appearance at Triple-A. He figures to need at least a few rehab starts for Sugar Land, and he may remain in the minors once deemed healthy, as the Astros had optioned him to Triple-A Sugar Land on July 7 before later placing him on the injured list, which nullified the demotion.

Nelson (elbow) is expected to begin a bullpen progression within the next 7-to-10 days, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Nelson has been on the injured list since June 19 after suffering a flexor strain and UCL sprain in his right elbow. The team reported in mid-July that the right-hander was closing in on a throwing program, and this latest update indicates that he's continuing to progress. A timetable for Nelson's return is still up in the air and will depend on how his elbow feels upon returning to the bump.

Gallen (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Gallen is ready to take the next step in his recovery from right elbow inflammation, which caused him to land on the Diamondbacks' injured list July 12. He was moved to the 60-day IL on Aug. 3, so the earliest Gallen can return is Sept. 7, though the Diamondbacks will have a better sense of the right-hander's recovery timeline once he gets more bullpen sessions under his belt.

Burnes (elbow/teres major) will throw his next bullpen Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Burnes has spent most of the season recovering from Tommy John surgery, though he hit a snag in early June due to a teres major strain that shut him down from throwing. He resumed throwing just prior to the All-Star break and was cleared to throw bullpen sessions in early August, and the right-hander is targeting a return to the majors by early September.

The Angels selected Peralta's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Peralta signed a minor-league contract with the Angels in late June and will now work out the team's bullpen after Shaun Anderson (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. The left-hander's numbers across 15 games with Salt Lake haven't been great, as he has a 9.37 ERA and 2.05 WHIP over 16.1 innings.

The Rangers placed Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list Monday with right posterior elbow inflammation.

There's no word yet on how much time Eovaldi might miss, but if there's a silver lining it's that the elbow injury is not related to his UCL. Eovaldi has been slated to start Wednesday's game against the Angels, but the Rangers will likely turn to Cal Quantrill to make that start.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Soroka (glute) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start against the Rockies on Monday.

Soroka needed just one rehab start before being cleared to return to the Diamondbacks' rotation. Monday's start will be his first in the majors since June 19, as he's spent the last few weeks on the IL due to a left glute strain, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Soroka operate on a pitch count in his return. He has a 3.07 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 82 innings this season.

Senga is a candidate to see save opportunities while Devin Williams (shoulder) is sidelined, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The Mets do not expect Williams to be out long with his right shoulder strain, but he will miss at least the next couple weeks after landing on the 15-day injured list Monday. Senga has been used primarily as a reliever since the beginning of July, and he's logged two scoreless outings in short relief this month. Daniel Duarte is also a candidate for saves, but the Mets aren't expected to name a closer while Williams is shelved.

Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said Monday that Waldrep (arm) will begin a throwing program this week, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Waldrep was placed on the 7-day injured list July 21 due to what Atlanta referred to as right arm discomfort. The organization hasn't provided many details regarding Waldrep's injury since he was shut down, but the right-hander has now been given the green light to begin what could be a lengthy ramp-up process. According to Sallee, Weiss provided no guarantees that Waldrep will be available to pitch again this season, as Atlanta will see how he progresses through his throwing program before a potential return date is mapped out. Waldrep may not have enough time to get fully stretched back out as a starter, but a late-season return as a reliever would at least inspire some confidence about his health heading into 2027.

Arrighetti has been diagnosed with Morton's Neuroma in his right foot but is aiming to pitch through the issue, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Morton's Neuroma is a buildup of skin in the foot that leads to nerve problems. Arrighetti had to be pulled off his rehab assignment last week after the foot issue flared up, but the hurler is hopeful ongoing treatment will allow him to pitch through the injury. It's unclear when Arrighetti -- who was acquired from the Astros at the trade deadline for Daulton Varsho -- might be ready to resume his rehab assignment.
