Griffin (elbow) is scheduled to resume throwing Wednesday, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.

Griffin will do some light throwing Wednesday as he begins a throwing progression. The rookie is coming back from a flexor strain in his right elbow, and the Pirates have refrained from offering a timeline for Griffin's return to the active roster. It's not clear whether the team is considering bringing Griffin back sooner to serve only as a designated hitter initially.

Walls is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Walls has dealt with a hamstring issue this month, but this seems to be a routine day of rest. Ben Williamson will draw the start at shortstop for the Rays.

Triple-A Indianapolis placed Jebb on the 60-day injured list May 1 after he had surgery to repair a left thumb fracture and ligament damage, Mark Chiarelli of Baseball America reports.

Jebb last played April 26 and will require 12 weeks to recover, per the report. A second baseman turned center fielder, Jebb showed middling production across 136 career games at Double-A but hit .375 with two home runs and two steals in his first six games at Triple-A prior to suffering the injury.

Kilby went 0-for-2 with one strikeout in a rehab game in the Florida Complex League on May 28 but has not appeared in a rehab game since as he deals with a nagging hamstring injury, Josh Norris of Baseball America reports.

Kilby seemingly aggravated the hamstring in his one and only rehab game, as he's been missing in action for two weeks since then. Kilby showed an exciting set of tools in his brief pro debut last year, hitting .353 with 16 steals and a 108.9-mph max EV in 18 games at Single-A. He turns 20 in November.

Asigen is dealing with a hamstring injury, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

He has yet to play in a Dominican Summer League game, although that season began June 1, so there is still time for him to make his pro debut in 2026. Asigen is one of the top prospects from this year's international signing class.

The Padres placed Bogaerts on the paternity leave list Tuesday.

Bogaerts will likely be away from the club for its final two games of a series versus the Reds before he rejoins his teammates this weekend when the Padres begin a road trip in Baltimore. Sung-Mun Song will likely handle shortstop for San Diego while Bogaerts is away.

High-A South Bend placed Cepeda on the 7-day injured list April 29 with a lower-body injury, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.

Cepeda hasn't played since April 18 due to the injury. The 20-year-old infielder has hit .211 with one steal, zero home runs and seven strikeouts in five games this season.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Caballero will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.

The Yankees will go with Anthony Volpe at shortstop in the second game of the three-game set. Since returning from the injured list in late May, Caballero has started 11 of 15 games (five at shortstop), while Volpe has started 10 of 15 (all at shortstop).

Neto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's extra-inning loss to Houston.

Neto came up big in the seventh inning, slugging a solo shot to give the Angels a 4-3 lead. The talented young shortstop has now gone deep in each of his past three games, though those are his only hits during that span, and they've been accompanied by seven strikeouts. That's pretty indicative of how the season has gone for Neto -- he's batting an uninspiring .231 with a 30.4 percent strikeout rate through 64 contests, yet 28 of his 58 hits have gone for extra bases (14 doubles, one triple and 13 homers). He also has 10 thefts and is one of 11 big-leaguers so far with double-digit long balls and steals.

De Vries (finger) went 0-for-4 with one walk and one run scored during Sunday's 9-6 loss to Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

De Vries missed a few days of action at the end of May after picking up a bone bruise on his right ring finger, but he managed to avoid a trip to the injured list. He returned to the field May 29 and is batting .276 with three RBI, two stolen bags and six runs scored in eight games since suffering the finger injury.
