Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow (elbow) played catch up to 120 feet again on Tuesday and said he will probably be ready to throw off a mound on Friday or Saturday when the team returns home to Dodger Stadium. In a "best-case scenario," manager Dave Roberts said last weekend that Glasnow could return to the big-league rotation in the middle of September. But the 31-year-old hard-throwing right-hander has already been on the injured twice in his first year in LA, and the Dodgers would prefer to have him firing on all cylinders once the postseason begins in October. He's currently dealing with right-elbow tendinitis, and the Dodgers aren't going to rush him back. Glasnow is going to require a minor-league rehab assignment before he returns, which means he probably will only provide fantasy managers with one or two more starts the rest of the way.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop prospect Aidan Miller has been promoted from High-A Jersey Shore to Double-A Reading. The team's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, began the year at Single-A Clearwater and earned his most recent promotion to Double-A by hitting .258/.353/.444 with six home runs, 32 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 258 plate appearances over 58 games at Jersey Shore this summer. The 20-year-old former 27th overall pick last year has been a fast riser in the Phillies' farm system and will conclude his second year of pro ball at Double-A. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound right-handed hitter not only has intriguing high-end raw power, but he has an advanced plate approach for his age. Miller should grow into more power as he matures into his body. He's currently the heir apparent to Trea Turner at the big-league level, but he could also be forced to move to third base down the road.

Chicago Cubs left-hander Justin Steele (elbow) said an MRI exam on his left elbow was positive and showed only inflammation, which he has been feeling for a while. No decision has been made yet as to whether Steele will go on the 15-day injured list, and the team is taking it day by day. The Cubs scratched the 29-year-old southpaw from his scheduled start against the division-rival Pittsburgh Pirates, but there's a chance he could avoid the IL and make his next start after a little rest. If Steele does land on the IL, veteran Kyle Hendricks, who made the start on Tuesday, could take his spot in the starting rotation. Despite not being 100% for a while, Steele hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in a start since July 30 and has gone 3-0 with a 2.03 ERA and .200 batting average against with 33 strikeouts and seven walks in his last five starts since Aug. 5.

San Francisco Giants first base prospect Bryce Eldridge has been promoted from High-A Eugene to Double-A Richmond. The club's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, began the year with Single-A San Jose and is now getting the call to Double-A after slashing a very impressive .335/.442/.619 with a 1.060 OPS, 12 home runs, 41 RBI and 35 runs scored in 215 trips to the plate over 48 contests with Eugene. Eldridge is a towering human at 6-foot-7, 223 pounds, and the crazy part is he's only 19 years old. The former 16th overall pick last year swings from the left side of the plate and perhaps unsurprisingly, raw power is his best attribute as a hitter. Eldridge has a pretty short swing for his size and makes decent contact, too. He has already been a fast riser through San Fran's minor-league system, but fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues shouldn't expect him to reach the majors until at least 2026.

New York Yankees right-hander Luis Gil (back) will come off the 15-day injured list on Friday to start against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Gil will be making his first start in the big leagues since Aug. 20 due to a back injury, but he shouldn't have too short of a leash after reaching the 80-pitch mark over 3 2/3 innings pitched in his lone minor-league rehab start. However, with a career high in innings pitched by a wide margin this year, the 26-year-old Dominican could be fading down the stretch. Gil has posted a 4.43 ERA (5.01 FIP) with 26 strikeouts and 17 walks in 22 1/3 innings over five starts since the All-Star break. The Yankees are putting him right back in the starting rotation upon his return from the IL, but there plans could change later in September and for the postseason. The Cubs as an offense have been right in the middle of the pack this year in terms of K's and team OPS.
