Severino took a no-decision Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing three hits and one walk in five scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Severino was likely working with a workload restriction in his first start since Aug. 5, although that didn't prevent him from delivering his first scoreless outing since May 17. The three hits allowed also matched a season best, and the veteran right-hander has now tossed at least five frames while yielding two runs or fewer in four of his last five appearances. Severino has a 4.65 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 107:45 K:BB over 141.1 innings, and he'll be looking to increase his pitch count next week against the Red Sox.

The Tigers will place Paddack on the bereavement list Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Paddack will be away from the team for at least three days following a death in his family. Earlier Tuesday, the Tigers announced that Paddack had been demoted to the bullpen, and the right-hander was put to work right away. He retired just four of the 13 batters he faced in the Tigers' 12-5 loss to the Mets, allowing six earned runs on eight hits.

Bernardino will serve as the Red Sox's opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Bernardino is currently enjoying the best season of his MLB career, having submitted a 3.14 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through 48.2 innings. Though the lefty will be picking up his third start of the season, he's unlikely to work more than an inning or two before exiting the contest. Dustin May is on track to pitch in bulk relief behind Bernardino.

Anthony was removed from Tuesday's game against the Guardians with left oblique tightness, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Anthony appeared to tweak something while striking out during his at-bat in the fourth inning, and he was replaced on defense when the Red Sox took the field in the fifth. More details on the severity of the 21-year-old's injury will have to wait until the team gets a closer look at him, but he can be considered day-to-day for now.

Trout was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Royals due to a skin infection.

Trout's infection will prevent him from starting Tuesday, and it's currently unclear if his absence will extend further into the Angels' series against Kansas City. Jo Adell will fill in as the Halos' designated hitter while Trout sits, opening up right field for Chris Taylor.

Scherzer (back) is feeling better and is on track to make his regular turn through the rotation Saturday against the Yankees, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The 41-year-old surrendered four runs over four innings Sunday versus the Brewers while pitching through upper-back tightness, but he's been able to go through his regular between-starts routine the past couple days. Assuming Scherzer has no further issues, he should be ready to go for Saturday's divisional matchup.

Duran is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

It's the second straight game on the bench for Duran following three consecutive starts. Cody Freeman is receiving another start at second base while batting sixth.

Garcia (quadriceps) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Garcia will be absent from the starting nine for at least one game after suffering the quadriceps injury during Monday's win in Arizona. The 32-year-old outfielder should be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's series finale.

The Tigers optioned Sommers to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Since making his MLB debut Aug. 22, Sommers has given up six earned runs in just three innings of work. His poor performance will ultimately buy him a ticket back to the minors; meanwhile, the Tigers will bring up Bailey Horn from Toledo to round out their bullpen.

The Tigers recalled Horn from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Horn has given up one earned run in six innings over his five appearances with the Tigers this season. He'll now return to Detroit after a two-week stay in the minors to take the place of Drew Sommers, who was optioned to Toledo in a corresponding move.
