The Angels placed Moncada on the restricted list Tuesday.

Moncada will be away from the team during Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay in order to take his U.S. citizenship test, per Erica Weston of Bally Sports West. He'll aim to rejoin the team ahead of Friday's series opener in Detroit. Meanwhile, the Angels will start Oswald Peraza at the hot corner and bring up Niko Kavadas from Triple-A Salt Lake to replace Moncada on the active roster.

The Blue Jays designated Sanchez for assignment Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

The Blue Jays had no use for Sanchez following Alejandro Kirk's return from the injured list Sunday, so the former will now lose his place on the MLB and 40-man rosters. Buddy Kennedy was selected from Triple-A Buffalo to fill the vacant spot.

The Blue Jays selected Kennedy's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Since signing a minor-league deal with the Jays in mid-July, Kennedy has slashed just .207/.309/.259 with five RBI across 68 plate appearances with Buffalo. Despite his poor recent output, he'll join the major-league roster to provide Toronto with a glove capable of covering all three bases and left field. The Blue Jays designated catcher Ali Sanchez for assignment in a corresponding move.

Baez is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday versus the Twins.

Gleyber Torres was slated to start at second base Tuesday, but he was scratched from the lineup due to left forearm tightness. Zach McKinstry is the starting second baseman after being originally set to start at short.

The Tigers scratched Torres from Tuesday's lineup versus the Twins due to left forearm tightness.

Olson has been given a platelet-rich plasma injection in his injured right shoulder, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Olson will not require surgery for his right shoulder strain, but he has already been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season. The hope is that the PRP injection will help speed along the healing process and give Olson a chance to return at some point during the postseason, should the Tigers make a playoff run.

Meadows (quad) has begun a running progression, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Meadows is just over a week removed from landing on the 10-day injured list with a right quad strain, so it's a good sign that he's already been cleared to run. It's still too soon to project when he might be able to return to the Tigers' active roster, however. Matt Vierling has been seeing most of the action in center field for Detroit since Meadows was injured.

The White Sox recalled Hudson from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Hudson was claimed off waivers from the Brewers on Sunday and will join the big-league roster before making an appearance with Charlotte. The big lefty was a standout in the Milwaukee bullpen in 2024, but he has a 4.35 ERA and 13:12 K:BB over 10.1 innings in the majors and a 6.84 ERA at the Triple-A level in 2025.

Santana is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mets.

It marks the second time across the last three contests and fourth time over the last 12 games that Santana has been out of the lineup. The 39-year-old is slashing just .198/.265/.280 since the start of June and could continue ceding starts to C.J. Kayfus. It will be Kayfus handling first base and batting eighth for Cleveland on Tuesday.
