Jung is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

It's the third straight game on the bench for Jung, who has a .179/.238/.308 slash line and 28.6 percent strikeout rate through 12 games in August. Josh Smith will instead man third base while Rowdy Tellez receives another start at first.

Higashioka (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Higashioka will sit for a fourth straight game Tuesday as he continues to deal with a mild hamstring injury. Jonah Heim will receive another start behind the plate for the Rangers.

Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Loaisiga (back) was pulled off his rehab assignment and sent for medical testing after experiencing soreness in his right elbow/triceps, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander has been working his way back from right mid-back tightness and delivered a scoreless frame in his first rehab outing Sunday, but he's now dealing with an arm issue. Loaisiga missed most of the previous two seasons due to injuries and has been inconsistent when available in 2025 with a 4.25 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB over 29.2 innings.

The Yankees placed Headrick on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to a left forearm contusion.

It's unclear when Headrick sustained the injury, as he hasn't pitched since last Wednesday against the Twins. The left-hander will be eligible to be reinstated Aug. 31, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point.

Canzone (arm) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

The 28-year-old had X-rays come back negative after being hit by a pitch during Monday's game against the Phillies, and he'll be held out of the lineup for at least one game. Dylan Moore will receive a start in right field Tuesday in place of Canzone.

Garcia (elbow) will make a rehab start with Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The right-hander threw 77 pitches over 4.2 frames during his seventh rehab outing last week, and he'll take the mound again Tuesday for what could be the final appearance of his rehab assignment. Garcia hasn't pitched in the majors since 2023 due to Tommy John surgery and some recovery setbacks.

Perez (illness) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

The veteran catcher was scratched from Monday's lineup due to an illness and will be held out of the starting nine again Tuesday, though he's expected to be available off the bench, per Anne Rogers of MLB.com. Luke Maile will receive another start behind the plate for Kansas City.

GM Chris Young said the Rangers will skip deGrom's scheduled start Wednesday against the Royals due to right shoulder fatigue, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

The 37-year-old already returned to Texas to be evaluated and was cleared of any structural issues, but the Rangers will still manage his workload with deGrom's 140.1 innings this season being the first time he's cracked 100 frames since 2019. Assuming there's no further issues, the right-hander's next turn through the rotation tentatively lines up for Monday versus the Angels.

Rutschman was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox due to right abdominal discomfort, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

It's unclear when the injury first surfaced for Rutschman, but he also sat out Monday and has gone just 3-for-29 at the plate in his past seven contests. The severity of the issue is unclear, so the 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more information is available. Alex Jackson replaced Rutschman in Tuesday's lineup, and the former would likely split time with Samuel Basallo behind the plate should an IL stint be necessary.

The Orioles outrighted Adams to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

He's no longer on the 40-man roster, but Adams has accepted an outright assignment and will remain in the organization as outfield depth. The 25-year-old went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts in 10 games during his brief time with the big club this season.
