Woods Richardson will have his next start pushed back after Tuesday's game in Baltimore was postponed due to rain.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Wednesday. Woods Richardson will take the mound in the second contest, while Bailey Ober will start the first game.

Povich's next start will be pushed back after Tuesday's game against the Twins was postponed due to rain.

The game will be made up as part of a traditional doubleheader Wednesday. Povich will presumably take the ball in one of those contests.

Larnach is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Baltimore.

It's the first day off since April 19 for Larnach, who occupied the designated-hitter spot for each of the Twins' previous four contests. Royce Lewis will be the DH on Tuesday, while Jonah Bride will handle third base.

Brennan will start in right field and bat eighth in Tuesday's game versus the Brewers.

Brennan has now started two straight contests in right field after being recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Monday. Angel Martinez sat at Brennan's expense Monday, and on Tuesday, Nolan Jones will hit the bench.

Baldwin is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Cincinnati.

The switch-hitting Baldwin had started each of the previous six games in left field for the White Sox, but he'll get a day off for Tuesday's series opener. Josh Rojas is in left field and batting eighth.

Vargas (calf) will start at third base and bat second in Tuesday's game versus the Reds.

Vargas missed the previous two contests with a right calf injury, but he's ready to go for the series opener in Cincinnati. With Vargas handling third base, Josh Rojas is shifting to left field for the White Sox on Tuesday.

Robert (knee) is starting in center field and batting cleanup Tuesday against the Reds.

He missed two games with right knee soreness but is back in the mix after Monday's off day. Robert is hitting .241 with one home run and three steals in 29 at-bats this month.

LeMahieu (calf/hip) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in Seattle.

LeMahieu will switch spots with Oswaldo Cabrera (fractured ankle), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. LeMahieu should serve as the Yankees' primary third baseman in the short term, but at 36 and coming off three straight years of declining production, he may not be able to hold the job indefinitely. He hit .204 with a .269 OBP, two home runs and zero steals in 228 plate appearances last year, although he did log a 1.093 OPS on his rehab assignment, thanks in part to a .500 BABIP.

The Yankees placed Cabrera on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left ankle fracture.

The diagnosis doesn't come as a surprise after Cabrera had to be taken off the field in an ambulance in Monday's game versus the Mariners. It's not clear at this point how long Cabrera might be sidelined, but certainly the absence will be a lengthy one. DJ LeMahieu (calf/hip) is taking Cabrera's spot on the roster and could receive the bulk of the reps at third base in Cabrera's spot, as well.

Gipson-Long (elbow/hip) is scheduled to make the second start of his rehab assignment Tuesday with High-A West Michigan, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.

Gipson-Long will be moving up a level after he made his first rehab start with Single-A Lakeland last Thursday, when he struck out two over 1.1 scoreless innings while allowing three hits and no walks. The Tigers will have Gipson-Long build up as a starter while he works his way back from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last April and the left hip surgery he had last July. Gipson-Long will likely need most of the 30-day rehab window to get stretched out, and he could optioned to Triple-A Toledo once activated from the 60-day injured list if the Tigers don't have a spot available for him in the big-league rotation.
