Paddack won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Guardians since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Mother Nature has wreaked havoc on this series, as Monday's contest was suspended after three innings and was set to resume prior to Tuesday's regularly scheduled game. The suspended contest is now set to resume Wednesday ahead of the second game of the series, and the other game is scheduled to be made up as part of a doubleheader Sept. 20. Paddack is likely to pitch in one of Wednesday's contests, with the suspended game being advantageous since the Twins hold a 2-1 lead.

Williams will not make his scheduled start Tuesday after the game against the Twins was postponed due to inclement weather, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The teams had been slated to complete Monday's suspended game before playing a full nine-inning affair, but now neither of those contests will be played. The suspended game will now be completed Wednesday, while the other game that Williams had been slated to start will be made up as part of a doubleheader Sept. 20.

Santander is batting sixth for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

It's the lowest Santander has batted in Toronto's lineup this season. After hitting third in each of his first 39 games with the Blue Jays, Santander was moved to fifth in the order over the weekend against the Tigers. Santander has continued to struggle and is now slashing a disappointing .182/.264/.308 with five home runs, 16 RBI, 12 runs scored, zero stolen bases and an 18:44 BB:K through 178 plate appearances for Toronto.

Dominguez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Rangers.

Dominguez had started each of the previous five contests but will get a night off Tuesday as the Yankees continue to juggle their outfield and designated hitter mix. Cody Bellinger is covering left field and Ben Rice will be the DH.

The Astros transferred Wesneski (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The right-hander is undergoing Tommy John surgery this week, so the move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural. Wesneski will be sidelined for the rest of 2025 and at least the first half of the 2026 campaign.

The Astros optioned Gordon to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Gordon is being sent out to make room on the roster for Brandon Walter, who will start Tuesday in Tampa Bay. The left-handed Gordon has permitted six runs with a 10:2 K:BB over 9.2 frames in two starts for the Astros.

The Orioles optioned Strowd to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

He's exiting the roster to make room for Chayce McDermott, who has been recalled to serve as the team's primary pitcher in Tuesday's game against the Brewers. Strowd made one appearance during his brief time in the majors, allowing one run over an inning of work.

The Orioles recalled McDermott from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

McDermott will be utilized as the team's bulk reliever Tuesday in Milwaukee, following opener Keegan Akin. The right-handed McDermott permitted four runs while striking out five over three innings of work in a spot start last week versus the Twins.

The Guardians announced Tuesday that Bazzana has been diagnosed with a right internal oblique strain and is expected to be out for 8-to-10 weeks.

Bazzana suffered the injury on a swing during a game with Double-A Akron last Wednesday. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Bazzana has slashed .252/.362/.433 with four home runs and eight stolen bases over 33 contests with Akron this season. The injury won't help Bazzana's chances of reaching the majors later this season.

Cowser (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Aberdeen on Wednesday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Cowser is finally ready to play some rehab games after fracturing his left thumb back in late March. The 25-year-old is on the 60-day injured list and not eligible for activation until May 30, but he would seem to have a good shot to return to the Orioles' outfield that day if his rehab assignment goes off without setbacks.
