Brito is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Astros.

Brito's playing time has slipped a bit, as this is the third time he's been absent from the lineup over the last eight games. He's just 1-for-19 with a 1:8 BB:K over that span. Daniel Schneemann will play second base and hit sixth for the Guardians.

Hoskins is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

Hoskins had started each of the previous four tilts, but he'll begin Tuesday's contest on the bench. Chase DeLauter is getting a turn in the designated-hitter spot, and George Valera will patrol right field.

The Orioles designated Huff for assignment Tuesday.

The 27-year-old was added to the big-league roster last week as catching depth but has been DFA'd with Adley Rutschman (ankle) returning from the injured list. Huff played in three games during his brief time in the majors and went 2-for-9 with a double, an RBI and a run.

Canzone went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's 6-4 loss to the A's.

Canzone extended Seattle's early lead to 3-0 in the second inning with his third homer of the season, a leadoff blast off J.T. Ginn. The 28-year-old Canzone has been limited to the strong side of a platoon to open the year, though he's been hot at the plate, going 5-for-8 with three extra-base hits in his last two contests. Overall, Canzone is slashing .275/.333/.569 with 10 RBI and nine runs scored across 57 plate appearances.

Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the A's.

Raleigh opened the scoring in the first inning with an opposite-field blast off J.T. Ginn, his third homer of the year and first in nine games. While Monday's long ball is promising, Raleigh's been stuck in an extended slump to open the season following his breakout 2025 campaign. He's slashing just .161/.248/.290 with a 30.5 percent strikeout rate through 24 games this year.

The Orioles activated Rutschman (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Rutschman required just the minimum 10-day absence with left ankle inflammation. He skipped a rehab assignment and will go directly back onto the active roster. Rutschman will serve as the Orioles' primary catcher, which means Samuel Basallo will go back to seeing most of his reps at designated hitter.

The Twins placed Funderburk on the paternity list Tuesday.

The left-hander is stepping away from the team for a few days to spend some time with his growing family, and he'll likely be gone for the entirety of the three-games series against the Mets that begins Tuesday. Funderburk is one of five Twins pitchers with a single save this season, and he's given up just two earned runs over nine innings despite an underwhelming 1.56 WHIP and 8:7 K:BB.

The Twins recalled Rojas from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old lefty opened the campaign on St. Paul's injured list due to a hamstring issue, but he was activated April 11 and has fired six scoreless frames in his first two Triple-A appearances. The Twins have an opening in their starting rotation Wednesday against the Mets, and Rojas is a candidate to fill that spot after being called up for his first taste of the big leagues.

The Twins reinstated Lewis (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

The 26-year-old landed on the shelf after suffering the knee sprain April 9, and he's back with the Twins after a two-game rehab assignment. Lewis has an .822 OPS with two homers and two steals through 45 plate appearances this season, and he carried that hot bat into his rehab stint with a long ball in each contest.

Scholtens (1-1) took the loss Monday versus the Reds after allowing five runs on seven hits and no walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

After surrendering two runs during the opening frame, Scholtens settled down pretty well with just one run allowed over the next four innings, but he was unable to make it through the sixth and gave up two more runs on two hits and a hit-by-pitch. The right-hander entered Monday's contest with 9.2 scoreless frames though his first two outings of the campaign, so he should have a decent chance of sticking in Tampa Bay's banged-up rotation. Scholtens has a 2.93 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB through three appearances and tentatively lines up to pitch against the Twins this weekend.
