Miley (forearm) has increased his throwing distance off flat ground to 120 feet, MLB.com reports.

Miley, who was placed on the 15-day injured list June 20 due to a left flexor strain, has been working his way through a throwing program. He's expected to throw off a mound in a bullpen session Friday.

Bieber (elbow) had been scheduled to make a rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Columbus before the game was postponed due to rain, Lori Schmidt of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Bieber had been in line to pitch the first game of a doubleheader, but rain rolled through the area and cancelled both games. The Guardians will need to adjust their plans for Bieber, who threw 43 pitches in his most recent rehab outing Tuesday with High-A Lake County.

Cameron (5-4) picked up the win Sunday against Cleveland, allowing three hits and one walk with six strikeouts over five scoreless innings.

Cameron didn't allow a run for the third time in five starts, blanking the Guardians over five innings. It was a nice bounce-back effort for the 25-year-old, who had yielded four runs and two homers to the Cubs in his previous start. In 14 starts this season, Cameron has a 2.44 ERA and a 71:23 K:BB over 81 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Blue Jays his next time out.

Irvin (8-5) picked up the win Sunday against Minnesota, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks across seven innings. He struck out two.

Irvin hadn't pitched into the seventh inning in his previous 10 starts, and Sunday's outing tied his fewest runs allowed during that stretch. Irvin hadn't had a start without a walk since June 21. In 126.2 innings this season, Irvin has a 4.69 ERA and an 86:41 K:BB. He'll look to keep rolling next weekend against Milwaukee.

Woodruff didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Miami, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks with six strikeouts over six innings.

Woodruff made his fourth appearance of the 2025 campaign and notched his third quality start. The 32-year-old has picked up right where he left off before suffering a shoulder injury in October of 2023, posting a 2.01 ERA and a 29:3 K:BB over 22.1 innings. Woodruff didn't walk a batter during his first three starts before issuing three free passes Sunday. He's on track to pitch at Washington next weekend.

Perez didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Milwaukee, allowing one run on two hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out six.

Perez's outstanding stretch of play continued Sunday, as he allowed fewer than three runs for a fifth consecutive outing. He's allowed fewer than four hits in all but one of those appearances. In nine starts this season, the 22-year-old has a 3.07 ERA and a 46:15 K:BB across 44 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Cardinals his next time out.

Senga allowed three runs on four hits and five walks while striking out three over five innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Sunday.

Senga had trouble finding the strike zone, throwing just 55 of 92 pitches for strikes. He has now allowed seven runs with a 12:10 K:BB over 12 innings across three starts since returning from a month-long absence due to a hamstring injury. Overall, his 2.00 ERA remains elite, but it's backed by a 1.21 WHIP and 82:41 K:BB through 85.2 innings over 16 starts, which suggest he's had more than his fair share of good luck. Senga is tentatively projected to make his next start at home in a rematch with the Giants.

Scherzer (1-1) yielded three runs on three hits over seven innings Sunday, striking out 11 and taking a loss against Detroit.

Scherzer had one hiccup in the outing, and it resulted in a three-run shot by Gleyber Torres in the third inning. Aside from that frame, Scherzer did not allow another baserunner in his best and longest start of 2025. He forced 15 whiffs on 96 pitches and produced his first double-digit strikeout performance since 2023. Scherzer had completed six innings just once in his first six outings this season. He's sporting a 4.89 ERA with a 39:8 K:BB across 35 innings. Scherzer is lined up to face the Royals at home next weekend.

Lugo and the Royals agreed on a two-year, $46 million contract extension Sunday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Lugo will now stick around Kansas City for at least two more years, while his deal will also include an option for a third season. The right-hander has been supremely effective over his first two seasons in Kansas City, combining to produce a 2.98 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 280 strikeouts over 319.2 innings in 52 starts.

Flaherty (6-10) allowed five hits and a walk over six scoreless innings Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win over Toronto.

Flaherty was dominant Sunday and never faced much of a threat from the Blue Jays' lineup. He fired 70 of 106 pitches for strikes and forced 16 whiffs, including seven with his slider. It was his first win since June 8, and it snapped an ugly 0-4 skid over his previous seven outings. During that span, he produced a 7.79 ERA over 32.1 frames. Flaherty now owns a 4.51 ERA with a 137:44 K:BB through 109.2 innings. He's lined up to take the mound in Philadelphia next weekend.
