The Red Sox activated Buehler (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Buehler last pitched April 26 but is back to start Tuesday's game against the Mets. On the season, Buehler is 4-1 with a 4.28 ERA and 29:9 K:BB across 33.2 innings. He'll face a tough test against a Mets team that is ninth in OPS against right-handed pitching this season.

Sandoval (elbow) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

The bullpen session -- which featured 16 fastballs -- was Sandoval's first since he underwent internal brace surgery on his left elbow last June. Sandoval is slate to throw off the mound twice per week as he continues to ramp things up. The hope is that the left-hander can contribute to the Red Sox at some point during the second half, but there's no concrete timetable for him at this point.

The White Sox signed Houser to a one-year, $1.35 million contract Tuesday.

Houser requested and was granted his release from a minor-league contract with the Rangers last week so that he could link up with the White Sox on a big-league deal. The veteran right-hander has posted a 5.03 ERA and 37:15 K:BB over 39.1 innings at Triple-A Round Rock this season. Houser will join Chicago's rotation and start Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Paddack won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Guardians since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Mother Nature has wreaked havoc on this series, as Monday's contest was suspended after three innings and was set to resume prior to Tuesday's regularly scheduled game. The suspended contest is now set to resume Wednesday ahead of the second game of the series, and the other game is scheduled to be made up as part of a doubleheader Sept. 20. Paddack is likely to pitch in one of Wednesday's contests, with the suspended game being advantageous since the Twins hold a 2-1 lead.

Williams will not make his scheduled start Tuesday after the game against the Twins was postponed due to inclement weather, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The teams had been slated to complete Monday's suspended game before playing a full nine-inning affair, but now neither of those contests will be played. The suspended game will now be completed Wednesday, while the other game that Williams had been slated to start will be made up as part of a doubleheader Sept. 20.

The Astros transferred Wesneski (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The right-hander is undergoing Tommy John surgery this week, so the move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural. Wesneski will be sidelined for the rest of 2025 and at least the first half of the 2026 campaign.

The Astros optioned Gordon to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Gordon is being sent out to make room on the roster for Brandon Walter, who will start Tuesday in Tampa Bay. The left-handed Gordon has permitted six runs with a 10:2 K:BB over 9.2 frames in two starts for the Astros.

The Orioles recalled McDermott from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

McDermott will be utilized as the team's bulk reliever Tuesday in Milwaukee, following opener Keegan Akin. The right-handed McDermott permitted four runs while striking out five over three innings of work in a spot start last week versus the Twins.

Civale (hamstring) is scheduled to make the third start of his rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Nashville, MLB.com reports.

Civale has looked sharp in both of his first two rehab outings with Nashville and looked to be a candidate to return from the 15-day injured list this week after tossing five scoreless frames and 60 pitches in his most recent Triple-A start last Wednesday. The Brewers ultimately decided to have Civale get stretched out a little more at Triple-A, but if Tuesday's start goes smoothly, he should rejoin the big club early next week. Civale was healthy heading into Opening Day but made just one start before landing on the IL on March 31 due to a left hamstring strain.

The Brewers are expected to promote Rodriguez from Triple-A Nashville later this week to make a start during the club's four-game series in Pittsburgh that begins Thursday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Milwaukee optioned Tobias Myers to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday, and neither Aaron Civale (hamstring) nor Jose Quintana (shoulder) are expected to be activated from the injured list until next week, so Rodriguez looks on track to fill the open spot in the big-league rotation. Rodriguez reached the majors for the first time in 2024 and labored over his three starts with the Brewers, submitting a 7.30 ERA and 1.78 WHIP across 12.1 innings. However, the 23-year-old righty has been excellent through his nine starts with Nashville this season (1.99 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 49:15 K:BB in 45.1 innings), and his presence on the 40-man roster looks like it will play a factor in him getting a call-up over right-hander Jacob Misiorowski.
