Mikolas will be deployed as a bulk reliever in Tuesday's game versus the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Back in action after serving a five-game suspension, Mikolas will make his 13th appearance of the season out of the bullpen while pitching behind opener Carson Palmquist. Mikolas went four scoreless innings in bulk relief his last time out against the Yankees on July 11 and has fared much better this season in that role (3.51 ERA) than he has as a traditional starter (8.53 ERA).

Harry could be the next prospect in the Blue Jays' system in line for a promotion to the majors, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Acquired from the Twins in a 2024 trade for reliever Trevor Richards, Harry has had a breakout campaign after some offseason swing adjustments, slashing .316/.362/.560 with 13 homers and 15 steals across 75 games between Double-A New Hampshire and Triple-A Buffalo. The 24-year-old's biggest selling point is his defensive versatility, however -- he's played both second base and shortstop this season in addition to all three outfield spots, and he has some experience at third base as well. If the Jays are sellers at the trade deadline, it could open up a spot on the 26-man roster for Harry to make his big-league debut and get a look in the super-utility role Ernie Clement previously thrived in.

High-A Rome placed Sinnard on the 7-day injured list June 16 after he aggravated an abdominal injury, Ian Cundall of Baseball America reports.

He suffered an abdominal strain in spring training and didn't get activated until May 19, so this latest abdominal strain could keep him out another couple months. When healthy, Sinnard has been excellent, as the 6-foot-7 righty has a 2.35 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 25.8 K-BB% and 15.8 percent swinging-strike rate in 23 innings this season. In addition to getting healthy, Sinnard could eventually use a bump in competition, as he turns 24 in October and has yet to pitch above High-A.

Harris went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's win over the Padres.

The center fielder got Atlanta on the board in the fifth inning when he got hold of a JP Sears sweeper and lofted it over the wall in the right-field corner. Harris has seven hits in his last four games, including two doubles and two long balls, and through 16 contests in July he's delivered a .329/.333/.562 slash line with four of his 18 homers on the season, along with 12 runs and 16 RBI.

Carroll (elbow) is expected to be included in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

The 25-year-old was on the bench for Monday's series opener after exiting Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a hyperextended right elbow, but he looks like he'll end up missing only one start due to the injury. It's still worth keeping an eye on Carroll's status throughout the day until Arizona officially posts its lineup prior to the game's 9:40 p.m. ET start time.

Albies went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win over the Padres.

The veteran second baseman took Wandy Peralta deep in the sixth inning for what proved to be the game-winning blast in a 3-2 victory. The long ball snapped a 12-game power drought for Albies, a stretch in which he'd hit just .200 (10-for-50) with an uncharacteristically high 25.0 percent strikeout rate. On the season, he sports a .755 OPS -- his highest mark since 2023 -- with 15 homers, 54 RBI and 63 runs in 99 contests.

Double-A Frisco activated Walcott (elbow) from the 60-day injured list July 17.

Walcott had been rehabbing at the complex all summer, so he needed only two official rehab games in the Arizona Complex League before getting activated at Double-A. He hit .500 with one home run and one steal in six rehab at-bats and has hit .364 with one home run and one steal in three games for the RoughRiders. Given that Walcott played 129 games at Double-A prior to 2026, he should get a quick bump to Triple-A in the coming days/weeks.

High-A Asheville activated Frey (hamstring strain) from the 7-day injured list July 16, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.

He suffered the injury June 3 and began his rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League on July 3. Frey has been one of the bigger FYPD disappointments in dynasty leagues this year, as he has a 30.4 percent strikeout rate and 88 wRC+ in 50 games as a 22-year-old at High-A. Despite an underwhelming .153 ISO and six homers in 230 plate appearances, Frey has at least used his athleticism to add value on the bases, notching 15 steals on 19 attempts.

Susac went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Royals.

Susac hit a single to left field in the fifth inning before stealing second base, and he added a leadoff double in the eighth. The 25-year-old catcher delivered his first multi-hit performance since June 10 after spending an extended period on the injured list with a lower-back strain. He's now slashing .264/.308/.336 with 14 RBI, six doubles, five runs scored and two stolen bases across 122 plate appearances.

Colome made his pro debut July 3 in the Dominican Summer League after being sidelined by a testicular injury to start the year, Mark Chiarelli of Baseball America reports.

One of the most highly-anticipated prospects from this year's Jan. 15 signing class, Colome hasn't generated the same buzz as classmates Luis Hernandez of the Giants or Angeibel Gomez of the Royals, as he was missing in action and is hitting .156 in a tiny 10-game sample since getting healthy. In this 45 plate-appearance sample, Colome's 5.1 percent swinging strike rate, 24.4 percent walk rate and five steals stand out as strengths, while his 52.2 percent groundball rate and .094 ISO highlight areas needing improvement.
