The Rangers placed Mahle on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder tightness.

Mahle allowed four earned runs over three inning during his most recent start Sunday. He'll now be forced to miss several turns through the rotation, as the Rangers have deemed his injury severe enough to warrant a trip to the injured list. Jon Gray (groin) was reinstated from the IL in a corresponding move and will act as Mahle's replacement in Texas' rotation.

Gil was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians due to back tightness.

The 26-year-old righty needed 78 pitches to get through three-plus innings before leaving the game, during which he gave up three runs on three hits and six walks while striking out three batters. He'll presumably undergo imaging to determine the severity of his injury, and his status for his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come against the Rockies over the weekend -- is uncertain.

The Angels will select Cueto's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake to start Wednesday's game against the Royals, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Since signing a minor-league deal with the Angels on July 20, Cueto has posted a 3.09 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 23.1 innings across four starts with Triple-A Salt Lake. While those numbers are a significant improvement over his time with the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate (5.92 ERA, 1.24 WHIP in 38 innings) earlier in the season, the 38-year-old righty shouldn't be viewed as a reliable streaming option as he makes his season debut against a Royals offense that has scored the sixth-most runs in the majors (610).

Suarez (back) lines up to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday against the Royals, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The left-hander still needs to complete a bullpen session in the next couple days, but he should return Saturday assuming he doesn't suffer a setback. Suarez landed on the shelf in late July due to lower-back soreness, and he'll likely face some minor workload restrictions in his return to the rotation while coming back without a minor-league rehab assignment.

Olson (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday.

Wednesday will mark Olson's first time throwing off a mound since landing on the injured list in late July, as he had been limited to playing catch off flat ground up to this point. He'll presumably need to throw several additional bullpen sessions before progressing to live batting practice and eventually a minor-league rehab assignment, but he should have enough time left in the season to return to the Detroit rotation.

Lynn (knee) threw a session of live batting practice Tuesday and is scheduled for another session Monday, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol previously indicated Lynn might be able to return from the 15-day injured list following Tuesday's live BP, but the right-hander will need at least one more session before being activated. The 37-year-old threw the equivalent of three innings and should continue building up his workload in the next session before potentially rejoining the rotation later next week.

Matz (back) is scheduled to throw about 90 pitches in his rehab start with Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Matz has a 1.38 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB across 13 frames in his four previous rehab outings, and Wednesday's start is likely to be his last before being reinstated from the injured list. The left-hander will be fully stretched out as a starter, though his official role upon being activated has yet to be determined. Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak indicated the club could move to a six-man rotation with Lance Lynn (knee) also on the cusp of returning from the injured list.

Ullola has a 3.88 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and a 67:29 K:BB in 58 innings over his last 12 outings for Double-A Corpus Christi.

The hard-throwing righty has a 4.49 ERA for the year, but he's been more consistent since the calendar turned to June. Ullola's 13.5 percent walk rate on the year is his best mark to date, so he still needs to improve his control to make it as a starter at the highest level, but things are trending up. He sits at a career-high 106.1 innings on the season, which is another key datapoint for the 22-year-old. He will likely be added to the 40-man roster this offseason to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.

Single-A Fayetteville placed Tredwell on the 7-day injured list Aug. 6.

It's not clear what the injury is, but Tredwell left his July 14 appearance after retiring just one batter, leaving with the trainer after feeling something on an 0-1 pitch, per Astros Future. The 22-year-old righty was slightly delayed to start the season while building up in extended spring training. He had a 5.37 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and a 67:38 K:BB in 57 innings prior to suffering the injury.

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

Povich was sent down following a spot start Saturday versus the Red Sox after allowing two runs over 6.1 innings, but he's back now to take the roster spot of Zach Eflin (shoulder). The rookie left-hander would appear likely to rejoin the rotation for a start Thursday against the Astros.
