Schreiber left Monday's game against the Mariners with right lat tightness, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Schreiber is likely headed for further testing after being removed from Monday's contest. Manager Alex Cora stated after the contest that the right-hander is likely headed to the 15-day injured list, though no official move has been made just yet.

Schreiber exited Monday's game against the Mariners due to an undisclosed injury, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

The nature of Schreiber's injury has yet to be revealed, but he appeared to clenching his right fist, per Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald. He'll be considered day-to-day until more information comes to light.

May (personal) will join Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Jason Burke of Locked On A's reports.

May pressed the pause button on his rehab stint May 4, but he's now ready to get back on the bump. He was initially placed on the injured list with anxiety-related issues April 19 and remains without a firm timetable for a return.

Oakland optioned Neal to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Neal appeared in two games after being called up May 11 and allowed three runs over 3.1 innings (8.10 ERA) with three strikeouts and no walks. The right-hander was sent down Monday to make room for Adrian Martinez, with Martinez coming off the 15-day injured list after missing three weeks with a right elbow strain.

The Athletics reinstated Martinez (elbow) off the 15-day injured list Monday.

Martinez ended up missing three weeks with a right elbow strain. The right-hander has struggled to a 6.75 ERA over 17.1 innings while working out of the bullpen, and he'll likely be a middle-innings option for Oakland while he's with the roster. Zach Neal was sent back to Triple-A in a corresponding transaction.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Pop (hamstring) is continuing to move through his throwing program, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

According to MLB.com, Pop was cleared to resume playing catch last Tuesday, just five days after suffering the right hamstring strain that forced him to the 15-day injured list. While it's unclear whether Pop has reached the point in his throwing program where he's facing hitters, the 26-year-old right-hander doesn't look as though he's in danger of being sidelined much longer than the minimum 15 days. He may require a brief rehab assignment prior to being activated, however.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said White (elbow) is scheduled to make another rehab appearance with Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

After opening the season on the injured list with right elbow inflammation, White was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Dunedin on April 26. He made one appearance for the affiliate before moving up to Buffalo, with whom he covered three innings and gave up four runs on four hits and four walks in his most recent outing Friday. White's upcoming appearance Wednesday will be the fifth overall of his rehab assignment, and since the Blue Jays don't have a spot in the big-league rotation available for him at the moment, it wouldn't be surprising if he stuck around in Buffalo until his 30-day rehab window comes to a close May 26.

The Rangers selected Bradford's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Bradford will start Monday against Atlanta in his MLB debut after posting a 0.91 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 37:13 K:BB over 39.2 innings with Round Rock this season. The left-hander is worth keeping an eye on, but he'll be a risky streaming option against a strong Atlanta offense.

The Rangers optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Rodriguez allowed two runs in two relief innings during his brief time up in the majors. He'll head back to the minors to make room for lefty Cody Bradford, who was called up from Triple-A to make a start Monday versus Atlanta.

General manager Ross Atkins said Monday that Green (elbow) has been throwing bullpen sessions at the Blue Jays' spring training complex in Florida, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Atkins noted that Green that he "could be facing hitters and be in games" at some point next month. Green underwent Tommy John surgery on June 1, 2022 and will require a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated from the 60-day injured list, but he should have a chance at being ready to make his Blue Jays debut shortly after the All-Star break.
