Uribe (forearm) is expected to return from the injured list before Monday's game against the Cubs, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Out since Aug. 14 with a strained forearm, Uribe was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday and threw two scoreless innings while walking one batter and striking out three across two appearances. Once activated, he'll reclaim his role as Milwaukee's top setup man in front of closer Trevor Megill.

Cavalli was removed from Saturday's game against the Marlins after getting hit on the leg by a comebacker, Danielle Allentuck of The Washington Post reports.

Cavalli limped off the field after taking a 93-mph comebacker off his lower leg at the end of the fourth inning and didn't come back out for the fifth. He'll likely be sent for imaging to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and the Nationals may provide more information on his status in the near future. The 28-year-old righty gave up no hits and three walks while striking out eight batters in four shutout innings before his premature exit.

Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Ohtani (knee/biceps) won't pitch in Sunday's series finale against Detroit or Tuesday against the Cardinals, Noah Camras of SI.com reports.

The Dodgers skipper said before Saturday's game against the Tigers that the team was less sure Ohtani would pitch Sunday after he didn't feel well coming out of his bullpen session Friday, and now he has officially been ruled out to pitch in either of Los Angeles' next two games. Roberts noted that the team hasn't decided whether to completely shut Ohtani down from pitching, though there is no planned return date for his next mound appearance. Tyler Glasnow will take the mound to begin Sunday's series finale, and Eric Lauer will likely get the nod to start Tuesday.

Frelick isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Texas.

Frelick has gone 5-for-12 with two RBI and two runs scored in three games since returning from the injured list Tuesday. He'll get a chance to catch his breath Saturday while Luis Lara starts in right field, batting seventh.

Williams (shoulder) began playing catch Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

It's the first time Williams has done any sort of throwing since he landed on the injured list Aug. 10 with a strained right shoulder. He still has several more hurdles to clear before he can return from the injured list, but the Mets expect the 31-year-old closer to return to the bullpen sometime in September. Until then, Kodai Senga figures to continue receiving the bulk of the save opportunities.

The Diamondbacks added Bratt to the active roster to serve as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants. He will start Game 2.

The Diamondbacks, operating without Michael Soroka (shoulder) and Zac Gallen (elbow), will need an extra starter to get through Saturday's twin bill, so Bratt will return to Arizona for a spot start. The 23-year-old has pitched fairly well for the big club recently, turning in a 3.38 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 24 innings across his last five MLB starts. He figures to return to Reno once the day's games are completed.

The Diamondbacks selected Law's contract from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Law returned to action at Reno on Aug. 12 and has since given up five hits and no walks while striking out five batters in 6.1 shutout innings. The 35-year-old will now return to the majors for the first time since 2024 to provide extra depth to Arizona's bullpen ahead of its doubleheader against the Giants. Kohl Drake was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The Diamondbacks optioned Drake to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Drake was lit up for five earned runs in four innings during his spot start Friday against the Giants, and the Diamondbacks will now send him back to the minors in order to open up a spot on the active roster for right-hander Derek Law, who was called up from Reno. Drake now carries a 6.53 ERA and 1.50 WHIP through 20.2 frames with Arizona this season but could still be tapped for another start if the big club's rotation depth is tested further during the final month of the campaign.

Feltner was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday against Atlanta due to an illness, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Manager Warren Schaeffer said that Feltner spent much of Friday night vomiting, so the Rockies will pull him off his start and instead send Zach Agnos to the mound in the first inning. Feltner could still be available out of the bullpen if he manages to arrive at the park before the end of the game.

Agnos will start Saturday's game against Atlanta.

Agnos will be filling in for Ryan Feltner, who was scratched from his start due to an illness. Agnos has logged a 5.68 ERA and 1.43 WHIP across 76 innings with the Rockies this season and hasn't thrown more than three innings in an appearance since May, so his outing Saturday is likely to be relatively brief.
