Davis (finger/neck) returned to New York City from his rehab stint at Triple-A Syracuse to receive treatment, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 28-year-old was expected to be in the lineup Tuesday for Syracuse after his rehab assignment was paused over the weekend due to neck stiffness, but he instead rejoined the team for treatment. According to Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record, Davis hasn't suffered any setbacks with the finger or neck, so he may still be able to return from the injured list early next week as previously expected.

LeMahieu was placed on the paternity list Tuesday.

The 32-year-old was already absent from Tuesday's lineup due to the birth of his child, so the move to the paternity list is hardly a surprise. LeMahieu can spend up to three games on the paternity list, but he could also rejoin the team earlier.

GM Kim Ng said Tuesday that Anderson (shoulder) will be sidelined for at least the next several weeks, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

The 28-year-old landed on the injured list earlier Tuesday with a left shoulder subluxation, and he'll end up being sidelined well beyond the 10-day minimum. Anderson can safely be ruled out into mid-June, though it's possible he misses more time. Jon Berti and Isan Diaz are the likely candidates to see reps at third base in the meantime.

Chapman is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Mariners.

Chapman is 1-for-20 over his past six games and will take a seat Tuesday for the second time this season. Chad Pinder will step in at third base for the Athletics.

Manager Jayce Tingler said that Machado (shoulder) will hit prior to Tuesday's game against the Brewers and could be available off the bench, depending on how he feels, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

While Machado will be absent from the Friars' starting nine for the fifth consecutive game, Tingler's update indicates that the star third baseman could return to the lineup as soon as Wednesday, assuming all goes well with his Tuesday hitting session.

Walls drove in a run with a bases-loaded walk, drew another base on balls and scored two runs over six plate appearances in an extra-innings win over the Blue Jays on Monday. He's reached safely in all three of his games since being summoned from Triple-A Durham on Saturday.

The rookie also struck out three times Monday, a reminder that he still has a ways to go before mastering big-league arms. Nevertheless, there's no question he's impressed early, lacing a pair of doubles and scoring three runs in the course of drawing three straight starts at shortstop.

Anderson was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left shoulder subluxation.

Anderson exited Monday's contest and is now set to miss the next several games at minimum. Backup Jon Berti figures to get the majority of the action at third base in Anderson's absence.

Machado (shoulder) will remain out of the starting lineup for the fifth straight game Tuesday against the Brewers.

Machado has been sidelined since May 19 with the shoulder issue and it remains unknown when he could return to the lineup. Ha-Seong Kim will get the start at the hot corner once again Tuesday.

LeMahieu's absence from the lineup for Tuesday's game against Toronto is due to the birth of his child, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

The news explains why LeMahieu finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games. The Yankees have yet to officially place him on the injured list, but such a move could be coming soon.

Newman is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game agains the Cubs.

This figures to be just a day off for Newman, as he's been a consistent presence in Pittsburgh's lineup during the Pirates' first 46 games. Cole Tucker will start at shortstop.
