Chase DeLauter RF | CLE
Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Held out of Tuesday's lineup
DeLauter (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Giants.
DeLauter was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Padres with left hamstring tightness, and the team off day Monday wasn't enough to get him over the hump. The good news is he has not been placed on the 10-day injured list and can be considered day-to-day at this point. Angel Martinez, Steven Kwan and Jo Adell will be in the outfield and Travis Bazzana will serve as the Guardians' designated hitter Tuesday.

Isaac Mattson RP | PIT
Pirates' Isaac Mattson: Sent to Indianapolis
The Pirates optioned Mattson to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.
Mattson was needed for two innings and 41 pitches in Monday's loss to the Tigers, so he wasn't going to be available for a day or two. Antwone Kelly will absorb Mattson's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

Pirates' Antwone Kelly: Rejoins big club
The Pirates recalled Kelly from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesdya, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Austin Warren RP | NYM
Mets' Austin Warren: Back from IL
The Mets reinstated Warren (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
The right-hander has been sidelined nearly six weeks due to a forearm strain, and he's now ready to rejoin the active roster after an eight-outing rehab assignment. Warren has a 4.63 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 37:18 K:BB across 35 innings (26 appearances) for the Mets this year.

Sal Frelick RF | MIL
Brewers' Sal Frelick: Continuing rehab assignment
Frelick (shoulder) joined the Brewers on Tuesday for a workout and will then continue his minor-league rehab assignment, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
Frelick is already seven games into his rehab assignment, and Tuesday's workout should help to determine how many more minor-league games he'll need before coming off the injured list. The 26-year-old has just five hits in 22 at-bats, though three of those knocks have gone for extra bases.

JoJo Romero RP | MIL
Brewers' JoJo Romero: Facing hitters Friday
Romero (abdomen) will throw a live batting practice session Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Romero is slated for a multi-inning bullpen session Tuesday before facing hitters Friday. If things go well during his live BP, Romero will be cleared to begin a rehab assignment. Coming back from an appendectomy, Romero should join the Brewers' bullpen later this month.

Abner Uribe RP | MIL
Brewers' Abner Uribe: Slated for bullpen session
Uribe (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Uribe just landed on the 15-day injured list this past Friday with a right forearm flexor strain, so it's a good sign that he's already able to throw from a mound. The right-handed reliever is eligible for activation Aug. 26, and he's tracking toward being ready by that time or shortly after.

Clarke Schmidt SP | NYY
Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Preparing for relief role upon return
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Schmidt (elbow) will be preparing to return from the 60-day injured list as a reliever, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. "That can always change as the weeks and month unfolds, just depending," Boone said, regarding Schmidt's potential role. "But that's kind of how we're looking at."
Since Boone made those comments, the Yankees have placed Max Fried back on the IL with a bone bruise in his elbow, but with Carlos Rodon (elbow) returning from the IL on Tuesday, the team will have a five-man rotation intact. As such, the Yankees' plans for Schmidt may not have changed, but the 30-year-old right-hander will still need to complete his throwing progression and a rehab assignment before being available for the big club in any capacity. Schmidt has been limited to throwing off flat ground since cutting a live batting practice session short Aug. 4 after experiencing some forearm cramping, but Boone expects Schmidt to get back on a mound at some point this week.

Giancarlo Stanton DH | NYY
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Runs bases, but rehab assignment date TBD
Manager Aaron Boone said that Stanton (calf) did some baserunning Saturday, but the Yankees remain uncertain when the five-time All-Star will be ready to begin a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.
In addition to running the bases, Stanton has been taking live batting practice as he gears up for a late-season return from a right calf strain, which has kept him on the 10-day injured list since April 28. The Yankees will likely wait and see how Stanton responds to several days of workouts before potentially mapping out a rehab schedule for him, after which a clearer target date for his activation could become available. After the Yankees added a left-handed bat in Luis Garcia at the trade deadline, Stanton could be ticketed for the short side of a platoon at designated hitter once he eventually returns from the IL.
