DeLuca was pulled off his rehab assignment Tuesday after suffering a setback with his right shoulder strain, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

DeLuca was moved to the 60-day IL on Tuesday, and his recent setback seems to explain why. It's currently unknown how much longer the 26-year-old will be out as a result of his latest flare-up, but more information should come once he visits a doctor within the next few days.

Flaherty (3-6) yielded two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings Tuesday, striking out eight and earning a win over San Francisco.

Flaherty allowed only one runner to reach scoring position in Tuesday's dominant performance. It was his second consecutive outing with eight punchouts, bringing him to a 72:19 K:BB through 59.1 frames this season. He tossed 62 of 97 pitches for strikes and forced 13 whiffs, including seven with his fastball. Flaherty dropped his season ERA to 3.94 and turned in just his third quality start of the year. He's currently lined up for a road start against the White Sox next week.

Vest allowed a run on two hits over one inning during Tuesday's win against the Giants. He struck out one batter and earned a save.

Vest served up an RBI double to Wilmer Flores in the ninth frame but retired the next three batters to finish off the 3-1 win. It was Vest's seventh save in nine chances. He had thrown 12 innings in May without giving up an earned run before Tuesday, and he still owns a strong 1.73 ERA across 26 frames this season.

Greene went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Giants.

Greene made an early impact with an RBI double in the first inning. He then knocked in another run with a third-inning single. After posting a 1.239 OPS during a nine-game stretch earlier this month, he'd been in a 1-for-16 skid before Tuesday's big performance. Greene bumped his slash line up to .279/.336/.510 with 24 extra-base hits and 38 RBI through 54 contests.

Eovaldi (triceps) exited Tuesday's contest against the Blue Jays early with right triceps fatigue, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Eovaldi was pulled from the game after throwing 39 pitches over two scoreless innings on the mound. The right-hander's removal from the game is considered to be for precautionary reasons and the Rangers don't expect him to miss any time. Eovaldi can be considered day-to-day for the time being, with his next projected start expected to come June 3 in Tampa Bay.

Eovaldi (undisclosed) exited Tuesday's contest against the Blue Jays in the third inning, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Eovaldi pitched two scoreless frames, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out two batters before leaving the game in the top of the third. The right-hander threw 39 pitches over his two innings on the mound. It's unclear what he's dealing with, but Jacob Latz replaced him in the contest.

Lugo (finger) is trending towards being activated from the 15-day injured list during the Royals' weekend series against the Tigers, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Lugo was placed on the injured list May 17 due to a right middle finger sprain. He has made good progress in his recovery, having already completed multiple bullpen sessions since being deactivated. Lugo posted a 3-4 record across nine starts with a 3.02 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 47:19 K:BB in 56.2 innings prior to getting shut down.

Dominguez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Dominguez has started the Yankees' past six games since May 21 but will get some rest Tuesday. He went 4-for-19 with a home run, three RBI, two stolen bases, three walks and five strikeouts during the six-game stretch. Ben Rice will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth with Dominguez on the bench.

Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Tuesday that Robles (shoulder) may not return until September, Tim Booth of the Seattle Times reports.

Robles had a scan on his shoulder that revealed it is healing properly. His timeline will entail six weeks of rest, six weeks of strengthening and the possibility of resuming baseball activities in July. While the righty will start strengthening his shoulder soon, his expected return to the major league roster may not come until September.

The Mariners are targeting next week for Raley (oblique) to begin a rehab assignment, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Raley landed on the 10-day injured list April 30 due to a right oblique strain. He's been ramping up his baseball activities and is close to being cleared to start a rehab assignment. Raley was slashing .206/.345/.324 with two steals, two home runs and eight RBI over 84 plate appearances prior to his injury.
