Pepiot was scratched from his scheduled start Wednesday against the White Sox due to fatigue, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Pepiot has gone three consecutive starts (15 innings) without giving up an earned run and has conceded just two hits and six walks while striking out 15 batters in that span. He'll need at least a few days before he takes the mound again, however, and the Rays haven't specified how much extra rest he will require. Tampa Bay will instead lean on its bullpen Wednesday and send out Griffin Jax to record the first few outs.

Gonzalez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics with an apparent injury, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

It's unclear what kind of injury Gonzalez is dealing with that forced him to leave Tuesday's game in the second inning, but the Red Sox should provide some clarity in the near future. The 29-year-old had already had a productive evening before being pulled, going 2-for-2 with a solo homer and an RBI double. Although he started at first base Tuesday, additional absences for Gonzalez would likely result in increased playing time at second for Nick Sogard and David Hamilton.

Bowlan will serve as the Royals' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

The Royals are seemingly going to rely on their bullpen to get through Wednesday's contest, and they'll start by sending out Bowlan for the first handful of outs. The 28-year-old owns a 3.57 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through 35.1 innings on the season and has five appearances of at least two innings, so there's a chance he remains in Wednesday's contest past the first frame before getting the hook.

Jackson was removed from Tuesday's game against the Pirates after getting hit on his right elbow by a pitch, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Jackson took a 95.5-mph pitch off his elbow in the eighth inning and was immediately taken out of the game in favor of a pinch runner. The severity of the outfielder's injury will come into focus once Baltimore's trainers examine him further, but it's possible he sits out a game or two at the very least as a precaution.

Adell (illness) was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus Minnesota, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Adell was pulled from Sunday's contest after experiencing a bout of vertigo, and he'll now miss a second consecutive start while he continues to recover. Chris Taylor will step in as the Angels' starting right fielder and bat fifth.

Garcia was removed from his start Tuesday against the Blue Jays with right elbow discomfort, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Garcia made it through just 1.2 innings before calling for a trainer to come take a look at him, and he was removed after a very brief discussion with the Astros' staff. More details regarding his injury won't be known until the team takes a closer look at him, though it's worth noting that the right-hander's velocity was down for the duration of his start.

Adell (illness) is starting in right field and batting fifth Tuesday against the Twins, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

The 26-year-old was scratched from Monday's starting nine due to an illness but is back in action for Tuesday's contest. Adell has carried a hot bat to begin September, as he's batting .407 (11-for-27) with five homers and 12 RBI through seven games.

The Red Sox selected Early's contract from Triple-A Worcester ahead of his start Tuesday versus the Athletics.

After posting a 2.60 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across 100.1 innings between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester, Early will be thrust into the MLB rotation as the replacement for Dustin May (elbow). Early, 23, most recently pitched six innings of one-run ball while punching out 10 batters at Worcester, but he'll be challenged in his MLB debut Tuesday while facing an Athletics lineup that's posted an .823 OPS since the beginning of the month.

The Red Sox recalled Grissom (foot) from Triple-A Worcester and placed him on the 60-day injured list Tuesday while he continues to recover from plantar fasciitis, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

The 24-year-old landed on Worcester's IL on Aug. 20 due to an injury initially labeled as right foot inflammation, and his move to Boston's 60-day IL will officially spell an end to his season. Grissom spent the entire season at Triple-A and produced a .270/.342/.441 slash line with 13 home runs and nine steals in 96 games.

The Red Sox placed May on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow neuritis.

The Red Sox haven't officially ruled out May for the remainder of the regular season, though the timing of his injury would likely allow him to make just one more start in September if he returns after a minimum-length stay. Connelly Early was promoted from Triple-A Worcester to fill the void in Boston's rotation and will make his MLB debut Tuesday against the Athletics.
