Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Tuesday that Woo will remain in the big-league rotation for the time being, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Woo struggled mightily in his MLB debut against the Rangers last Saturday, allowing seven runs in just two innings. With Marco Gonzales (forearm) on the shelf and Tommy Milone (shoulder) on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Tacoma, the Mariners will give one of the top prospects in their system at least one more chance to prove he's big-league ready. Divish notes that Woo is tentatively lined up to make his next start Saturday versus the Angels. The ability to miss bats that Woo showed in the minors makes him an intriguing long-term bet, but he'll carry some risk as a streaming option in redraft leagues.

MRI results revealed a flexor strain in Gonzales' left forearm, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

The good news is that there doesn't seem to be any damage done to Gonzales' UCL, but he will still be shut down from throwing for another 7-to-10 days. If all goes well during his rehab process, the 31-year-old lefty should be able to return right before the All-Star break.

Turnbull (neck) was cleared Tuesday to begin upper-body strength and conditioning work, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Turnbull got the go-ahead to increase his level of activity after undergoing a checkup MRI on Monday. He's been on the injured list since May 12 due to neck discomfort and still has a lot of hurdles to clear before he can be an option again for the Tigers' starting rotation.

Faedo had a procedure Tuesday which involved a portion of his right middle fingernail being removed, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Faedo had visited a finger specialist, who recommended and performed the minor operation. The right-hander is receiving treatment and will resume a throwing program as symptoms allow. Faedo is eligible to return from the injured list next week, but a timetable for his return is unclear at the moment.

DeGrom will undergo Tommy John surgery to repair a torn UCL in his right elbow, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

DeGrom landed on the injured list April 29 and was shifted to the 60-day IL on Monday. The 34-year-old ace had been throwing bullpen sessions regularly and didn't appear to suffer any setbacks, but the procedure will shut him down for the season and keep him out the majority of 2024 as well. The Rangers signed deGrom to a five-year, $185 million contract in the offseason, and he will conclude 2023 with a 2.67 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and a dominant 45:4 K:BB through 30.1 innings.

Rodriguez (finger) played catch after being cleared to do so Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Tuesday marks the first time Rodriguez has thrown since landing on the 15-day injured list last week. His quick return to throwing is a positive sign, especially given the lack of clarity from the team about his timeline. The next step for Rodriguez would be to up the intensity of his throwing sessions.

Paddack (elbow) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Paddack has been cleared for mound work almost 11 months after undergoing Tommy John surgery. He told reporters after Tuesday's side session that he wants to be pitching in either a bullpen or rotation role for the Twins by early-to-mid September.

The Blue Jays reinstated Bassitt from the paternity list Tuesday.

Bassitt will return to the Blue Jays ahead of his next start Wednesday against the Astros. The 34-year-old righty has been solid this season with a 3.41 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 65:26 K:BB.

Manoah was optioned to the Blue Jays' Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

The move comes one day after Manoah was pummeled for six runs while recording just one out in a loss to the Astros to push his ERA on the season to 6.85. The Blue Jays sending Manoah all the way down to their FCL affiliate figures to mean he won't be pitching in any games right away and instead will be working on mechanics and other things in hopes of regaining his old form. He'll likely be put into the Triple-A Buffalo rotation once he's deemed ready, with the hope that he'll eventually return to Toronto.

The Yankees are expected to call up Vasquez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Wednesday's game versus the White Sox, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

New York still isn't listing an official replacement in the rotation for the injured Nestor Cortes (shoulder) for Wednesday's contest, but Vasquez was spotted in the clubhouse Tuesday. He can't be promoted yet unless it's to replace an injured player, so the Yankees will likely officially place Cortes on the injured list prior to Wednesday's contest to facilitate Vasquez's call-up. Vasquez allowed two runs over 4.2 innings in his major-league debut against the Padres on May 26.
