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.

The Mets are expected to recall Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Mauricio's imminent promotion seems to suggest that Mark Vientos is headed to the 10-day injured list after exiting Monday's 4-3 win with a hamstring injury. The Mets have been careful with Mauricio's workload at Syracuse this season as he gets eased back in following multiple knee surgeries, but the 24-year-old has been productive at Triple-A, going 17-for-33 (.515 average) with three home runs and four stolen bases. Mauricio has yet to play more than two days in a row this season, and it's unlikely he'll see consistent at-bats right away with the Mets.

Estrada went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI during Monday's 6-4 win over the Marlins.

In just his third game back since returning to the lineup from a wrist injury, Estrada put on a show, picking up three hits and driving in his second run of the season. There's still some rust to shake off, specifically in the field where the 29-year-old has made two errors already, but the bat getting going is a good sign for Estrada, who should be the Rockies' everyday second baseman moving forward.

Keith went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a walk in Monday's 13-1 victory over the White Sox.

Keith extended his hitting streak to nine games, and he also has at least one knock in 13 of his last 15 outings. Since May 14, the infielder is hitting .304 (17-for-56) with five RBI, seven doubles and nine runs scored. The lefty-hitting Keith has been getting most of his starts at designated hitter lately, but he has already played enough second base to qualify there in 2026 and could also add first base eligibility. He should continue to hit in the middle of the Tigers lineup against righties.
