The White Sox transferred Teel (hamstring/knee) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

Teel has been on the shelf all season due to a hamstring injury he suffered during the World Baseball Classic, and his 2026 debut with the White Sox has now been further delayed after he suffered an LCL sprain in his right knee while playing in a rehab game at Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday. Now expected to remain out for another several weeks, Teel will head to the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man roster spot for left-hander Joe Rock, whom the White Sox acquired in a trade with the Rays on Tuesday.

Irish will be out of High-A Frederick's lineup for the next few days due to a right wrist bruise, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 22-year-old suffered the injury during Sunday's game against Hudson Valley when he was hit by a pitch, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. Irish is one of Baltimore's top prospects and has enjoyed a strong start to the 2026 campaign with seven homers, nine steals and an .874 OPS in his first 33 games at the High-A level.

Romo is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mariners.

Romo, who has taken over starting catcher duties for the White Sox, is taking a seat Tuesday while Edgar Quero starts behind the plate, batting ninth.

Narvaez (finger) will start at catcher and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Narvaez was pulled from Sunday's game versus Atlanta with right middle finger soreness and did not play Monday. However, he is feeling well enough to give it a go Tuesday as the Red Sox look to clinch the series win.

Bailey is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

It's the second straight day on the bench for Bailey, who has yet to start consecutive games since arriving in Cleveland via trade. Austin Hedges is behind the dish for the Guardians again Tuesday, and the two backstops figure to continue sharing the job pretty evenly.

Jeffers needs surgery to remove a fractured left hamate bone and is expected to be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

The Twins announced Jeffers' placement on the injured list earlier Tuesday, and surgery is typical for this type of injury. The timeline puts Jeffers on the shelf until around July 1 in a best-case scenario, and it's possible he won't make it back until after the All-Star break. In the meantime, Victor Caratini will receive the lion's share of the reps at catcher for Minnesota.

The Orioles designated Handley for assignment Tuesday.

The 28-year-old was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday and has now lost his place on Baltimore's 40-man roster. Handley has had two stints in the majors this season and struck out in his lone plate appearance.

The Twins selected Jackson's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

The 30-year-old failed to make Minnesota's Opening Day roster but elected to stay with the organization at Triple-A St. Paul, and he'll now get a chance in the majors with Ryan Jeffers (hand) landing on the injured list. Jackson had a .763 OPS in 100 plate appearances with the Orioles in 2025 and should serve as the backup catcher to Victor Caratini while Jeffers is sidelined.

The Twins placed Jeffers on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured left hamate bone, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

The initial diagnosis when Jeffers was forced to depart Monday's game versus the Astros was that he suffered a sprained wrist, but a subsequent MRI revealed the hamate fracture. He's sure to require surgery and will likely need at least six-plus weeks of recovery time. Victor Caratini will take over as the Twins' primary catcher, and Alex Jackson has been summoned from the minors to provide depth.

Rutschman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI, an additional run scored, a walk and a strikeout in Monday's loss to the Rays.

Rutschman blasted his seventh long ball of the season -- and third over his last nine games -- off reliever Chase Solesky in the seventh inning. Despite the uptick in power, Rutschman has been struggling to put the ball in play of late. He hit .356 with a 1.067 OPS between March and April, but those numbers have plummeted to a .193 average with a .645 OPS in 15 May contests.
