The Orioles recalled McDermott from Triple-A Norfolk, and he'll start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Twins.

McDermott will be making his second major-league start and his first of 2025. The right-hander missed the first month of the season with a right lat strain and has thrown only 9.2 innings in the minors, with his last appearance at Norfolk lasting four innings and 65 pitches. He will have a relatively limited workload versus the Twins and is expected to be returned to Triple-A immediately after the outing.

Refsnyder (back) will start in right field and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game in Detroit, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Refsnyder has been unavailable lately due to back spasms but is feeling well enough to give it a go in Wednesday's series finale. The 34-year-old hasn't logged a plate appearance since May 1.

Crawford was scratched from Wednesday's lineup versus the Yankees, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Crawford is presumably dealing with some sort of injury, but the Mariners should provide a reason for the infielder being scratched soon. Leo Rivas has entered the lineup at shortstop and the No. 9 spot in the lineup, while Miles Mastrobuoni will be elevated to the leadoff spot.

Cabrera will undergo an MRI and seek multiple opinions before deciding whether to have surgery to repair his fractured left ankle, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Cabrera is facing an extended absence either way, but more clarity on his timetable should be available in the coming days and weeks. The utility player suffered the ankle injury in Monday's game against the Mariners when he attempted an awkward slide on a play at the plate.

Cousins (forearm) said May 6 that he's hopeful to return from the 60-day injured list in early-to-mid June, MLB.com reports.

Cousins is eligible for activation May 26, but he looks like he'll need another week or two beyond that before making his 2025 debut with the Yankees. The 30-year-old reliever is on the mend from a right forearm strain but took a major step forward in the recovery process earlier this month, when he faced hitters in live batting practice. He could soon be ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Jones was placed on Double-A Somerset's 7-day injured list May 6 due to an intercostal injury, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Jones produced a .228/.372/.554 slash line with nine home runs and six stolen bases across 113 plate appearances before landing on the IL earlier this month. The outfield prospect has already spent the minimum seven days on the shelf, but Boone acknowledged he was uncertain when Jones might be ready to be activated.

Isaac has not played for Double-A Montgomery since May 4 due to an undisclosed injury.

Isaac dealt with an elbow issue in spring training and spent 11 days on the injured list in early April with the injury, so this latest absence could be related. Isaac is slashing .235/.435/.559 with two home runs and one stolen base in 11 games this year. He has a 32.6 percent strikeout rate after logging a 40.6 percent strikeout rate in 31 games at Double-A to close 2024.

France was removed during the fifth inning of the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader in Baltimore with a left foot contusion, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports. He went 0-for-3 at the plate prior to his departure.

France grounded out in the top of the fifth inning before being replaced on defense prior to the bottom of the frame. The Twins could have more information on France's status in between games, but France will likely sit out the second leg of the twin bill, at the very least.

Wells is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Seattle.

Wells caught each of the last four games, so he will receive some rest during Wednesday's matinee. J.C. Escarra will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Yankees.

Goldschmidt is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Seattle.

It's a rare day off for Goldschmidt, who had started each of the previous six contests. The Yankees are going with Ben Rice at first base and Aaron Judge at designated hitter in the series finale.
