Miller (forearm) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Miller will make his Brewers debut when he gets into a game, as he's healthy for the first time since early July. The veteran reliever was traded from Arizona to Milwaukee on July 31. Before sustaining the forearm strain, Miller tallied a 1.98 ERA, 10 saves and eight holds over 36.1 innings for the Diamondbacks. Miller should be in contention for setup work, as Trevor Megill has been outstanding in the closing role.

Alvarez (side) will start at third base and bat eighth Friday against the Marlins.

Alvarez has evidently turned the page on the side soreness that cropped up during Wednesday's contest. Since replacing Austin Riley (abdomen) on Atlanta's active roster, Alvarez has gone 3-for-10 with a pair of doubles and five strikeouts.

The Brewers recalled Myers from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Logan Henderson had been in line to make a second straight turn through the rotation Saturday against the Mets, but after the rookie was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right elbow strain, Myers will be summoned from the the minors to make the start in his stead, per Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin. A full-time member of the Milwaukee rotation for much of last season, Myers has been limited to just eight appearances (five starts) in the majors in 2025, posting a 4.30 ERA and 19:10 K:BB across 23 innings. Myers may be in line for just one start, as the Brewers could get Jacob Misiorowski (tibia) back from the 15-day injured list next week when the team needs a fifth starter again.

Marte isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's contest against Pittsburgh.

Marte has become a regular presence in right field for the Reds of late, starting seven of the team's past eight games at that position. However, he'll give way in right field Friday to Jake Fraley.

The Brewers placed Henderson on the 15-day injured list Friday due to right elbow inflammation.

Henderson had been tasked with filling in for Jacob Misiorowski (tibia) and threw 4.1 innings in a start last Sunday versus the Nationals. Henderson was slated to make his second turn through the rotation Saturday versus the Mets, but he'll instead head to the IL due to the elbow issue. The Brewers haven't named a replacement in the rotation for the 23-year-old, but Tobias Myers was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move and would be a logical candidate to make a spot start. Considering Misiorowski is expected to be healthy by the time Henderson is eligible for reinstatement, Henderson could be optioned to Nashville once he's activated.

Steer is not in the starting lineup against the Pirates on Friday.

Steer has been an everyday presence at first base for Cincinnati, but he'll get a rest Friday while Miguel Andujar starts in his stead. The Reds likely hope the time off will reset Steer's bat, as he's gone just 2-for-21 through six games in August.

The Reds recalled Benschoter from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

Benschoter was called up in early July for his first big-league stint, but he didn't get a chance to make his MLB debut before heading back down. The 27-year-old will get another crack at taking the mound for Cincinnati, replacing Yosver Zulueta in the bullpen. Benschoter has posted a 3.78 ERA in 66.2 innings with Louisville this year.

The Reds optioned Zulueta to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.

Zulueta has been up and down between Louisville and the big-league club this season and has allowed three runs with a 3:2 K:BB over 5.1 innings spanning four appearances with the Reds. His spot on the 26-man roster will be taken by fellow righty reliever Sam Benschoter, who was promoted from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Atlanta claimed Brujan off outright waivers Friday.

Brujan began the season with the Cubs before being DFA'd in late July. The Orioles claimed him off waivers Aug. 3, but he played in only one game with the club, notching a hit in his only at-bat. Brujan will now likely fill a utility role for an Atlanta roster that could use help at third base while Austin Riley (abdomen) is unavailable. Brujan's logged time at every position on the field except for pitcher, catcher and first base this season.

Pauley went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to Atlanta.

The third baseman capped a five-run second inning when he ripped a Carlos Carrasco sinker down the right-field line. Pauley is batting .292 (7-for-24) over his last 10 games, a stretch that includes all three of his homers in the majors this season.
