  • Brooks Lee SS | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Lee is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Lee started the previous 11 games but will receive a day off after batting .150 (6-for-40) during that stretch. Ryan Fitzgerald will take over at shortstop Tuesday for Minnesota.

  • Alan Roden RF | MIN

    Twins' Alan Roden: Sitting again Tuesday

    Roden (thumb) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Roden will sit for a second consecutive game after exiting Sunday's contest due to a jammed thumb. Kody Clemens will receive a start in the outfield Tuesday while Edouard Julien mans first base.

  • Shaun Anderson RP | LAA

    Angels' Shaun Anderson: Cut loose from 40-man

    The Angels designated Anderson for assignment Tuesday.

    Anderson surrendered four earned runs on four hits and recorded just two outs in his appearance Monday versus the Dodgers. He had been selected from Triple-A Salt Lake just prior to the game. In a corresponding move Tuesday, the Angels recalled Victor Mederos.

  • Angels' Gustavo Campero: Placed on IL

    The Angels placed Campero on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a sprained left ankle.

    Campero had to be carted off the field Monday after injuring his ankle crashing into the outfield wall while chasing a ball that went over the fence. It remains unclear whether he'll be able to return from the IL when eligible Aug. 22. In the meantime, the Angels will add Niko Kavadas to their bench from Triple-A Salt Lake.

  • Colton Gordon RP | HOU

    Astros' Colton Gordon: Back in big leagues

    The Astros recalled Gordon from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.

    The left-hander was optioned to Sugar Land on Monday, but he'll quickly rejoin the major-league club since Josh Hader (shoulder) is headed to the injured list. Gordon has started in 13 of his 14 big-league appearances this season but is likely to operate as a reliever since the Astros now have Spencer Arrighetti and Cristian Javier back in the fold.

  • Victor Mederos RP | ATL

    Angels' Victor Mederos: Recalled, starting Tuesday

    The Angels recalled Mederos from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

    Mederos will start Tuesday versus the Dodgers after Tyler Anderson, who was initially slated to start for the Halos, was scratched due to a back injury. In a corresponding move, Shaun Anderson was designated for assignment.

  • Niko Kavadas 1B | LAA

    Angels' Niko Kavadas: Back with Halos

    The Angels recalled Kavadas from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

    With Gustavo Campero (ankle) headed to the injured list, Kavadas will come up from the minors to replenish the Angels' bench depth. The 26-year-old is 0-for-1 in the majors this season but owns an .826 OPS through 479 plate appearances in Triple-A.

  • Shawn Dubin RP | ARI

    Astros' Shawn Dubin: Activated from IL

    The Astros reinstated Dubin (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    The right-hander has been sidelined nearly two months due to a forearm strain but is ready to rejoin the active roster after a five-appearance rehab assignment. Dubin had a 1.33 ERA and six holds in 18 appearances this season prior to the injury, and he should at least be in the setup mix for Houston with closer Josh Hader (shoulder) landing on the injured list.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Sitting down Tuesday

    Moore isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

    Moore will sit down for the third time in four games Tuesday after going 3-for-20 with three runs scored since his return from the injured list. Luis Rengifo will pick up another start at second base and bat seventh.

  • Hunter Harvey RP | CHC

    Royals' Hunter Harvey: Diagnosed with Grade 2 strain

    Harvey was diagnosed with a Grade 2 adductor strain and received an injection Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Manager Matt Quatraro said Tuesday that Harvey is expected to miss a significant amount of time, but the team still believes he could pitch again before the end of the season. A clearer timeline for his return will likely emerge whenever he's cleared to begin a throwing program.
