McKinstry is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Padres.

It's a routine day off for McKinstry, who had started 12 of the previous 13 games for the Tigers. He'll yield to Justyn-Henry Malloy in left field Tuesday.

Keith is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

With Kerry Carpenter limited to designated hitter duty for now as he comes back from a hamstring issue and Spencer Torkelson deserving everyday playing time, Keith faces a playing-time squeeze in the short term. Torkelson is at first base versus righty Nick Pivetta on Tuesday.

Wells is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.

It's a routine day off for Wells, who started each of the previous three contests. J.C. Escarra will do the catching and bat eighth for the Yankees.

Kjerstad (elbow) is starting in left field and batting sixth Tuesday against the Nationals, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The 26-year-old sustained the elbow bruise Saturday against the Reds and sat out Sunday's contest, but he's good to go following the Orioles' team day off Monday. Kjerstad has enjoyed a hot start to the campaign and has a .261/.300/.500 slash line with three homers, 12 RBI and nine runs in 18 games.

Rice (elbow) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game versus the Guardians.

Rice missed each of the previous two contests with a bruised left elbow, but he's ready to go for the second game of the series. He'll carry a .988 OPS into play Tuesday.

The Tigers recalled Lee from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Lee, 26, held a 6.75 ERA but a 12:3 K:BB over his first 9.1 frames with Toledo this season. The right-handed reliever will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

The Tigers optioned Montero to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Montero made two starts during his time in the majors, allowing nine runs (eight earned) with an 11:5 K:BB over 9.1 innings. He's being replaced on the roster by reliever Chase Lee.

Carpenter (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game versus the Padres.

Carpenter exited Sunday's game versus the Rays and sat out Monday with a sore right hamstring. He's not able to play the outfield yet, but the Tigers feel he's healthy enough to serve as the team's DH.

Arias is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees.

Arias isn't dealing with any known injury, but this will be the second time in the last four contests that he's been on the bench. Daniel Schneemann will start at second base and bat eighth for the Guardians.

The Red Sox activated Bello (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

The right-hander has been sidelined by a shoulder strain since mid-February but is ready to make his 2025 debut after making four rehab starts in the minor leagues. Bello didn't pitch particularly well in those outings with a 7.07 ERA, though his 21:4 K:BB is more encouraging. The 25-year-old topped out at 71 pitches during the rehab stint, so he'll likely face some workload limitations in his first couple starts with the big club.
