Hurter (2-1) allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk across two innings of relief and took the loss Tuesday against the White Sox. He struck out four.

Hurter was the second pitcher up in a bullpen game started by Beau Brieske. The former pitched well while setting a new season high in strikeouts, but he got no help defensively or offensively in the team's 8-1 defeat. Hurter has been lights out this year with a 1.72 ERA and 31 strikeouts across 31.1 innings, and he'll continue to be a key bullpen option for the Tigers.

Olson received an injection to address the inflammation in his right ring finger Monday and is expected to resume playing catch Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

The right-hander landed on the shelf with the injury May 19, and the inflammation apparently returned after he was briefly shut down from throwing. Olson is without an official timeline for his return but will likely be out for at least a couple more weeks as he ramps his throwing program back up.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Gipson-Long (elbow/hip) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Gipson-Long has been sidelined since undergoing Tommy John surgery in April 2024 and then a left hip procedure in July. He's been sharp since beginning a rehab assignment May 8, however, turning in a 2.20 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB across 16.1 innings between three minor-league levels. He could still be at risk of displaying some rust during his first MLB start since 2023, though he'll have the benefit of returning against a White Sox offense that owns the lowest OPS (.633) in the majors. Gipson-Long tossed 53 pitches in his most recent rehab outing, so he'll likely be operating with a restricted workload Wednesday.

Ragans (groin) is scheduled to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Thursday against the Cardinals, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Ragans allowed four earned runs over 3.2 innings during his rehab start with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Saturday, and he apparently showed enough for Kansas City to put him on a big-league mound for his next outing. The 27-year-old will end up missing little more than the 15-day minimum due to groin soreness, though he could still face some minor workload limitations in his first start back in the big leagues.

Wallner is not in the Twins' lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.

Wallner has played in three games since returning from a hamstring injury Saturday, but he will get to rest Tuesday. He recorded a hit in each game, going 3-for-11 with a home run. With the 27-year-old on the bench, Willi Castro has the start in right field as Brooks Lee takes over for Castro at second base.

Tromp signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Tromp elected free agency after clearing waivers Tuesday, but after spending less than a day on the open market, he'll return to his previous organization. The 30-year-old backstop has slashed .254/.338/.413 through 71 plate appearances in Triple-A this year.

Holman will start Tuesday's game against the Twins.

The right-hander will make the first start of his MLB career Tuesday as an opener. Holman has a 4.74 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB across 19 innings this season and should hand things off to the bullpen after an inning or two.

Wilson isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

After going 8-for-18 with two RBI and a run scored during his four-game hitting streak, Wilson will grab a seat on the bench Tuesday while Max Schuemann starts at shortstop.

Sosa is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Sosa started the previous 12 games and will take a seat Tuesday after batting .304 (14-for-46) with three doubles, a homer, six RBI and three runs during that stretch. Chase Meidroth will shift to the keystone while Vinny Capra receives a start at shortstop.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that he's optimistic Dominguez's left thumb injury is "just a couple of days thing," Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Dominguez's thumb is swollen after he jammed it while stealing a base in Sunday's game versus the Dodgers, but the injury "seems like it's gotten better every day," per Boone. The rookie outfielder is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Guardians but is considered day-to-day.
