The Red Sox will place May on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

May had been scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Athletics, but the Red Sox will now call up Connelly Early from Triple-A Worcester to take the hill instead. Though the nature of May's injury isn't known, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com relays that it's not considered serious, so the right-hander could have a shot to return later this month. May has been inconsistent during his time in Boston, posting a 5.40 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 26:13 K:BB over 28.1 innings.

The Red Sox will call up Early from Triple-A Worcester to start Tuesday's game versus the Athletics in Sacramento, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Dustin May had been scheduled for the start but is headed to the 15-day injured list with an undisclosed injury. Early has collected a 2.60 ERA and 132:40 K:BB over 100.1 innings between Double-A Portland and Worcester this season. The left-hander is more of a high-floor than a high-ceiling prospect, and he will be making his MLB debut in a tough environment for pitchers, making him a risky streaming option in fantasy.

Story went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 7-0 win over the Athletics.

Story homered in the first inning, and that's all Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet needed. It was the 24th home run of the season for Story, who has six multi-hit efforts, four home runs and a .998 OPS over his last 13 games.

Coulombe (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Friday, MLB.com reports.

Coulombe last pitched Aug. 26 against the Angels, when he allowed a pair of home runs. He'll join Frisco for its final three games of the regular season. That gives the left-handed reliever ample opportunity to prepare for a potential activation Sept. 16, the earliest date on which he could return.

Garcia (quadriceps) could be activated in time for the three-game series in Houston that begins Sept. 15, MLB.com reports.

The Rangers are buoyed by the progress Garcia's made since he was placed on the 10-day injured list. A return Sept. 15 (next Monday) contradicts an earlier report that suggested a possible return Friday, the earliest point at which he could be activated.

Munoz picked up the save in Monday's 4-2 win over the Cardinals. He allowed no hits and a walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

The hard-throwing righty made quick work of St. Louis, issuing only a one-out walk to Ivan Herrera before striking out Alec Burleson and Nolan Gorman to secure his 33rd save of the season. It was Munoz's first outing since Aug. 31, as Seattle's schedule since then featured a four-game losing skid followed by back-to-back blowout wins over Atlanta that didn't require his services.

Woo (13-7) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks over six innings in a 4-2 victory over St. Louis. He struck out nine.

Woo delivered six strong innings Monday, halting a brief two-start stretch of shorter outings after previously going six-plus in each of his first 25 starts. The right-hander has been one of MLB's most reliable arms this season, compiling a 3.02 ERA and 0.95 WHIP across 175.2 innings in 28 starts. While not overpowering with strikeouts (9.1 K/9), his nine punchouts Monday tied a season high, and his elite command (1.7 BB/9) continues to fuel his consistency.

Keaschall went 3-for-6 with two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 12-3 victory over the Angels.

Keaschall kept producing Monday, turning in the third three-hit effort of his young career. The rookie second baseman has taken full advantage of his opportunities in the majors, batting .329/.409/.486 with an .895 OPS, 10 doubles, four homers and 24 RBI through 37 contests. While it's been a difficult year for the Twins as a whole, Keaschall has stood out as one of the bright spots and a player the franchise can be excited about moving forward.

Lewis went 2-for-5 with a pair of two-run homers in Monday's win over the Angels.

Lewis delivered a big night Monday, clubbing two home runs for his second multi-homer game of the year and first since July 20. It's been a challenging season overall for the 26-year-old, as injuries have limited both his availability and effectiveness. Through 88 games, the third baseman is slashing .237/.293/.406 with 16 doubles, 12 home runs, seven steals, 44 RBI and 33 runs.

Woods Richardson (6-4) earned the win Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over five innings against the Angels. He struck out six.

Woods Richardson battled through a rough second inning in which he gave up three runs but still came away with his first victory since July 8. It marked his third start since returning from the injured list after dealing with a digestive tract parasite. On the season, the right-hander has logged 20 appearances and owns a 4.58 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 94.1 innings.
