Santillan (oblique) threw out to 75 feet Friday and experienced no discomfort, MLB.com reports.

Santillan is scheduled for additional imaging on his left obique next Friday. He's been on the injured list since late June.

Dunn (elbow) suffered a setback recently prior to being sent on a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

Dunn underwent imaging, which revealed additional damage to ligaments in his right elbow. He'll visit Dr. Keith Meister for a second opinion, with surgery a possibility.

Fischer went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in a game with Double-A Biloxi on Friday.

Fischer has had bigger nights in the box score, but the home run was his 30th of the season and his 10th in just 29 games since being promoted to Biloxi. Strikeouts remain a concern for Fischer, but the power potential is tantalizing -- particularly in fantasy circles.

McLain (calf) went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored for Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

McLain was assigned to Louisville on Friday to begin a rehab assignment. He started at shortstop and played six innings. The Reds are hopeful he can return this coming week.

Ebel went 24-for-75 (.320) with four home runs, five doubles, 14 RBI, seven stolen bases and a 22:15 BB:K over his last 21 games with Single-A Wilson.

Ebel hit just .180 and posted a .588 OPS over his first 32 games of the season, but he started to heat up in mid-May, and thanks to his recent hot stretch he now owns a .252 batting average and .811 OPS on the season. The Brewers selected the 19-year-old in the first round in 2025, and he is showing why.

Jones didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.

The right-hander continues to look good in July, with the only blemish on his line Friday coming on a solo shot by Pete Crow-Armstrong in the sixth inning. Jones produced his second quality start of 2026 on 83 pitches (55 strikes), and he's given up just three runs total over four starts and 21 innings this month with a 1.29 ERA, 0.52 WHIP and 28:4 K:BB. Jones will look to stay locked in during his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Diamondbacks.

Ragsdale is 20-for-65 (.308) with seven home runs, 13 RBI, six stolen bases and an 18:21 BB:K through 18 games with Double-A Biloxi.

A sizzling start to the season with High-A Wisconsin earned Ragsdale a promotion to Biloxi, and he has fared even better in the OPS department than he did at his first stop. The Brewers do not lack quality prospects, and Ragsdale has firmly put his name in the mix.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Pirates.

The star center fielder got the Cubs on the board by taking Jared Jones deep in the sixth inning. It was his first long ball since July 8 and his 22nd of the season, and over 17 games this month he's delivered a .288/.447/.593 slash line with four homers, five steals, 10 RBI and 13 runs.

Hollowell was charged with an unearned run in the 10th inning Friday without allowing a hit or a walk, recording his first save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Pirates. He didn't strike out a batter.

The right-hander entered the game after the Cubs took a 3-1 lead in the top of the 10th, and while Hollowell couldn't stop the phantom runner from coming around to score, the Bucs didn't get anyone else on base. Jacob Webb had worked the eighth inning and Caleb Thielbar the ninth, but Hollowell could be positioning himself for more high-leverage work. Since rejoining the big-league roster in late June, he's delivered a 0.00 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB through 8.2 innings.

Boyd didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Pirates, allowing one run on seven hits and three walks over seven innings. He struck out four.

The veteran lefty ran into trouble in the fifth inning, walking two batters and then giving up two singles before he could record an out, but Boyd limited the damage to a single run before giving the Cubs two more clean frames. He left the mound after 97 pitches (64 strikes) having produced his fourth quality start of the season, and Boyd's six-decision win streak remains intact -- he hasn't been saddled with a loss since March 26. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is set to come on the road next week in St. Louis.
