The Diamondbacks selected Carrillo to the 40-man roster Saturday.

Carrillo will claim a spot on the 40-man roster after posting a 19:3 K:BB in 12.1 shutout innings across his last 10 appearances at Triple-A Reno. He'll remain at Reno for the time being, but he could be called up for his MLB debut later this year if he continues to pitch well in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said that Nelson (elbow) will begin a throwing program Saturday or Sunday, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

Lovullo said Saturday that Nelson has shown considerable improvement since landing on the injured list June 19 due to a strained right elbow. The skipper still believes that the right-hander will be able to pitch again for the big club this season, though it's unclear whether Nelson will return from the IL as a starter or reliever. A better idea of his return timeline and expected role should emerge as he clears hurdles in his throwing program.

Henderson (forearm) is listed as the Brewers' probable starter for Wednesday's game against the Mets in Milwaukee, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

Henderson relayed after Friday's win over the Marlins that he contended with forearm cramps in the Brewers' first game of the second half, but the issue apparently isn't considered serious enough to prevent him from making his next turn through the rotation on four days' rest. The right-hander limited Miami to just one run on three hits and no walks over five innings Friday, whittling his ERA and WHIP down to 2.97 and 0.93, respectively, over seven starts with the big club this season.

Montgomery (elbow) will start Saturday for Triple-A Round Rock as he continues his rehab assignment, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Montgomery will make his sixth overall rehab start, his fourth with Round Rock. Through his first five starts, the 33-year-old has posted a remarkable 2.25 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 11:0 K:BB through 12 innings. This upcoming start will possibly be the southpaw's final rehab appearance after he underwent UCL reconstruction surgery in March of 2025.

Gasser is slated to start Sunday's game against the Marlins in Milwaukee.

After turning in a 2.52 ERA and 0.88 WHIP over a four-start stretch with the big club, Gasser was recalled from Triple-A Nashville last weekend ahead of the Brewers' final game before the All-Star break. The 27-year-old lefty was unable to keep the momentum going, as he was lit up by the Pirates for seven earned runs on eight hits and no walks across three innings. Despite the rough performance to finish out the second half, Gasser will maintain his spot in the rotation coming out of the All-Star break while Milwaukee awaits the return of Kyle Harrison (elbow) from the injured list.

Woodruff announced Saturday that he will undergo season-ending capsule repair surgery on his right shoulder, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Woodruff previously underwent the same procedure in October 2023 and ended up missing the entire 2024 campaign. He said he intends to pitch again once he's healthy, but after needing approximately 20 months to make a full recovery from the surgery the first time around, he's unlikely to be ready to return to action until 2028. The 33-year-old will close the book on the 2026 season with a 2.98 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB through 45.1 innings across nine starts.

Texas optioned Teodo to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

After making just one appearance for the Rangers, Teodo's big-league stint ends. The 25-year-old went 1.2 innings, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one Friday against Atlanta. Texas recalled Jose Corniell to take Teodo's spot on the active roster.

The Rockies reinstated Sugano (back) from the injured list ahead of his start Saturday against the Reds.

Sugano never made any rehab starts in the minors after landing on the injured list July 4 with back spasms, so he could be working under a pitch-count restriction while he makes his return to the rotation Saturday. The 36-year-old righty has accumulated a 4.80 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 84.1 innings this season, and he'll be tasked with keeping quiet a Cincinnati offense that's posted a .770 OPS since the beginning of the month. Jeff Criswell (shoulder) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Misiorowski (arm) will start Tuesday's game against the Mets, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 MIlwaukee reports.

Misiorowski missed his final turn through the rotation prior to the All-Star break due to arm fatigue, but after getting an opportunity to rest during the intermission and for Milwaukee's weekend series against Miami, he's been officially cleared to return to the rotation. The 24-year-old flamethrower is firmly in contention for the National League Cy Young Award after posting a 1.62 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 167:27 K:BB through his first 18 starts, but Milwaukee could continue to limit his workload for the rest of the season as he trends toward surpassing his career-high innings total by a wide margin.

Toronto optioned Van Eyk to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

After making just one appearance during his time with the big-league club, Van Eyk will make his way back to Triple-A. The 27-year-old pitched two scoreless innings in his big-league debut July 17, allowing just one hit and one hit batsman, while striking out one batter as well. Toronto recalled Brendon Little to take Van Eyk's spot on the active roster.
