Castro went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Athletics.

Castro has been locked in at the plate lately, logging multiple hits in four of the last five games. Surprisingly, two of those have been multi-homer efforts, and he's also posted a 5:4 BB:K during his recent run of success. The utility player is up to a .261/.346/.457 slash line with six homers, 12 RBI, 25 runs scored, three stolen bases and nine doubles over 40 contests. He's halfway to matching his career-best homer total (12) from last season, so it's unlikely this power-hitting stretch will last long.

Sosa is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Sosa started the previous 12 games and will take a seat Tuesday after batting .304 (14-for-46) with three doubles, a homer, six RBI and three runs during that stretch. Chase Meidroth will shift to the keystone while Vinny Capra receives a start at shortstop.

Schneemann is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

The left-handed-hitting Scheemann will take a seat as the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump. Will Wilson is at second base and batting seventh for the Guardians.

The Blue Jays designated Stefanic for assignment Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The transaction clears space on the active roster for the return of Andres Gimenez (quad). Stefanic will likely pass through waivers unclaimed.

The Blue Jays activated Gimenez (quad) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Gimenez wound up missing nearly a month of action with a right quad strain, but he's been cleared to return to action after going 2-for-12 in four rehab games. The 26-year-old is sporting just a .577 OPS in 36 contests with the Blue Jays in 2025.

The Yankees optioned Vivas to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

The Yankees opted to keep Pablo Reyes around as a utility infielder over Vivas. Vivas has produced a .522 OPS in 22 major-league contests this season.

Gorman is starting at designated hitter and batting eighth in Tuesday's game versus the Royals.

Playing time has been hard to come by lately for Gorman. This will be his first start in a week and only his sixth start across the Cardinals' last 20 contests.

The Yankees reinstated Chisholm (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

The 27-year-old has been sidelined for just over a month due to an oblique strain but is ready to rejoin the Yankees after going 3-for-9 with a double and a stolen base during a three-game rehab assignment. Chisholm opened the campaign as New York's primary second baseman prior to the injury, but he played third base during the rehab assignment and is expected to man the hot corner going forward.

The Pirates activated Gonzales (ankle) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Gonzales has been shelved since late March with a fractured ankle and more recently missed time on his rehab assignment with a sore hand as a result of a hit-by-pitch. However, he's ready to go now. Gonzales played both middle-infield positions on his rehab assignment but should settle in as the Pirates' primary second baseman.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed in an appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Chisholm (oblique) will be activated from the 10-day injured list and will return to the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Guardians.

Chisholm has been shelved since late April with a strained right oblique but is ready to roll after going 3-for-9 with one stolen base in three rehab games with Double-A Somerset. The 27-year-old had started exclusively at second base prior to landing on the IL, but he played third base during his rehab assignment and is expected to settle in as the Yankees' primary option at the hot corner upon his return.
