Daniel Tillo - Reinstated and optionedTillo (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Monday.

He'd reached the same level prior to suffering the injury but only threw 23.1 innings there back in 2019, so he has some work to do before earning a promotion to Triple-A.
