Miller (elbow) is optimistic about returning from the 15-day injured list in five weeks, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Miller was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a left elbow sprain, and while the initial five-week timeline may be a bit ambitious, Miller isn't worried about bouncing back from the injury, per Rubin. The southpaw was in the midst of putting together a strong 2025 campaign, posting a 1.50 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with 22 strikeouts across 30.0 innings prior to landing on the shelf.

Millas is expected to be called up from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Millas is set to join the Nationals in St. Louis ahead of the team's three-game set with the Cardinals beginning Tuesday. The catcher was sent down to Triple-A on Friday, but he'll make a quick return to the big-league roster. It's unclear who will be displaced from Washington's roster in a corresponding move.

The Giants optioned Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

With Casey Schmitt (hand) back from the injured list, Fitzgerald will head back to the minors. He could get another look later this summer, but for now Fitzgerald will receive regular playing time with Sacramento.

The Giants activated Schmitt (hand) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Schmitt went on the IL a week ago with left hand inflammation but is ready to go following a two-game rehab stint. He is starting at second base and batting sixth as the Giants open up a series against the Phillies on Monday.

The Padres optioned Hart to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Hart tossed 3.2 perfect innings of bulk relief in Sunday's win over the Rangers, and his reward is a trip back to the minors a day later. The lefty has likely earned another look with the big club eventually, but for now he will re-enter the rotation at El Paso.

The Padres transferred King (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Monday.

The transaction does not change King's timeline, as he is coming up on 60 days missed and is not close to rejoining the Padres' rotation. He is, however, making progress, as King has thrown multiple times on flat ground and will have a "touch and feel" bullpen session Thursday. King will need a few sessions off the mound and likely a rehab assignment before a timetable for his return becomes clearer.

The Padres activated Darvish (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Darvish is set to make his season debut Monday against the Diamondbacks following a long recovery from right elbow inflammation. The veteran righty hasn't pitched in an official game since he made a rehab start May 14, but he has been ramping up with a series of simulated games. Darvish threw 64 pitches in his last simulated game, so he will have a limited workload versus Arizona.

The Pirates activated Holderman (thumb) from the 15-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Holderman has been shelved since late May with right thumb inflammation. While he is now healthy, the Pirates have elected to keep him at Indianapolis where he had been on his rehab assignment rather than adding him back to the big-league bullpen.

King (shoulder) will throw a "touch and feel" bullpen session Thursday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

King played catch again Monday and will expand his flat-ground throwing to 120 feet Tuesday. While it will not be a regular bullpen session Thursday, it will be the first time King has thrown off a mound since he went down in mid-May with a pinched thoracic nerve in his right shoulder. King has a lot of boxes to check before he can be considered for a return to the Padres' rotation, but he's moving in the right direction.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Glasnow (shoulder) will be activated from the 60-day injured list and start Wednesday in Milwaukee, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Roberts had previously said Glasnow would be back sometime this week, and now he's revealed the exact day the right-hander will make his return to the rotation. Glasnow has been sidelined for more than two months due to a shoulder injury and didn't pitch well in three rehab starts, posting an 8.31 ERA, 2.08 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB in 8.2 innings. Glasnow went 4.1 frames and threw 78 pitches in his most recent rehab outing for Triple-A Oklahoma City last Thursday, so he will be on a somewhat restricted pitch count Wednesday.
