  • Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Sitting after four straight starts

    Schneider is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Schneider had been included in the lineup in each of the last four games, going 0-for-9 with four walks during that stretch. Three of those starts came against left-handed pitching, and Schneider appears likely to be mostly limited to a short-side platoon role moving forward with the Blue Jays getting George Springer (toe) back from the injured list for Wednesday's series finale.

    Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Makes MLB debut

    Bazzana went 0-for-2 with two walks in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Rays.

    Bazzana was called up from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday and made his MLB debut. Tampa Bay pitchers didn't give him much Tuesday, but the rookie was one of two Guardians to reach base twice. The first overall draft pick in 2024, Bazzana will be given a lot of rope in his introduction to the majors.

  • Royals' Jonathan India: Has season-ending shoulder surgery

    The Royals announced Tuesday that India underwent season-ending surgery to repair the labrum in his left shoulder.

    India hasn't played since April 18 and was placed on the injured list eight days ago due to a shoulder subluxation. After further testing, India required season-ending surgery. The 29-year-old's 2026 campaign ends with a .167/.310/.313 slash line with two home runs, eight RBI, eight runs scored and an 8:13 BB:K across 58 trips to the plate. It's been a disappointing two years for India in Kansas City after posting career-low numbers in 2025. Michael Massey and Nick Loftin should continue to see most of the reps at second base for the Royals.

  • Mariners' Brendan Donovan: Nearing return

    Manager Dan Wilson said Tuesday that Donovan (groin) is expected to return from the injured list during the Mariners' upcoming homestand, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Donovan is eligible to return from the IL as of Tuesday, but the M's will give him a few extra days to recover before activating him. The 29-year-old infielder has been going through workouts and baseball activities back in Seattle for the past few days, which suggests he could be ready for the start of the team's weekend series against the Royals.

  • Royals' Michael Massey: Idle Tuesday

    Massey is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Athletics.

    Massey has slashed .389/.400/.722 with a home run and four RBI over his last five games since April 21. He previously had a four-game hit streak, but he went 0-for-2 April 26 versus the Angels. As he gets a breather Tuesday, Nick Loftin has the start at second base and is batting eighth.

  • Andres Gimenez 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez: Good to go Tuesday

    Gimenez (undisclosed) is starting at shortstop and batting ninth Tuesday against the Red Sox.

    The 27-year-old has been "banged up" and sat out the past two games but is ready to rejoin the lineup Tuesday versus Boston. Gimenez has enjoyed a hot start to the season with three homers, four steals and a .287/.313/.468 slash line in 100 plate appearances.

  • Max Schuemann 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Max Schuemann: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Yankees recalled Schuemann from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

    Schuemann sports a .203/.362/.297 batting line with one home run, six stolen bases and a 16:16 BB:K in 23 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. He could be sent back down later this week if Anthony Volpe (shoulder) returns from the injured list.

  • Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Batting seventh in MLB debut

    Bazzana will start at second base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game versus the Rays in his major-league debut.

    Bazzana will have a chance to work his way up higher in the batting order if he gets off to a hot start, but he'll open up in the lower third of the lineup. The 23-year-old was called up earlier Tuesday after slashing .287/.422/.511 with two home runs, 10 RBI, eight stolen bases and 18 runs scored over his first 24 contests with Triple-A Columbus.

  • Travis Bazzana 2B | CLE

    Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Summoned for MLB debut

    The Guardians selected Bazzana's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

    News broke Monday night about Bazzana's impending promotion, and the transaction is now official. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Bazzana has earned a promotion after slashing .287/.422/.511 with two home runs, 10 RBI, eight stolen bases and 18 runs scored over his first 24 contests with Columbus. Bazzana will take over as the Guardians' primary second baseman.

  • Max Schuemann 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Max Schuemann: Will be called up

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday during an appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Schuemann will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take the roster spot of the injured Giancarlo Stanton (calf).

    Schuemann has slashed .203/.362/.297 with one home run, six stolen bases and a 16:16 BB:K in 23 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. The utility player could be around for only a few days, as Anthony Volpe (shoulder) has a good chance to be activated from the injured list later this week.
