Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Taking seat versus southpaw
O'Hearn is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees.
O'Hearn rarely starts against left-handed pitching, and he will begin Tuesday's contest on the bench as the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump. Ryan Mountcastle is in the designated hitter spot, and Emmanuel Rivera will play first base.

Orioles' Heston Kjerstad: Absent from lineup against lefty
Kjerstad is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

Royals' Hunter Renfroe: Sitting Tuesday
Renfroe is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.
Renfroe is out of the starting lineup for the second consecutive game, as his leash appears to be shortening after a tough start to the season. The veteran right fielder is slashing just .177/.257/.210 with just two doubles, zero home runs, four RBI and a 7:14 BB:K across 70 trips to the plate. Drew Waters is in right field and batting seventh Tuesday.

Guardians' Shane Bieber: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Guardians transferred Bieber (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander continues to rehab from Tommy John surgery and isn't expected to be fully ramped up until the middle of summer, so the IL move won't affect his return timeline. Bieber is expected to begin pitching in simulated games at the Guardians' spring training complex at some point in May, after which a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment is likely to follow.

Joey Cantillo SP | CLE
Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Quick return to big leagues
The Guardians recalled Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
The left-hander was optioned to Columbus on Monday, but he's eligible to be recalled a day later since Paul Sewald (shoulder) was placed on the injured list. Cantillo has been an effective bullpen piece for Cleveland early this year and has a 2.35 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB across 15.1 innings.

Guardians' Paul Sewald: To IL with shoulder strain
The Guardians placed Sewald on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right shoulder strain, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Sewald was forced to depart an appearance Monday against the Twins due to the injury and it will cost him at least the next couple weeks of action. The veteran reliever had been roughed up for five runs over 3.2 innings covering his last five outings.
