The Mariners transferred Garcia (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Garcia was shut down from throwing Tuesday after experiencing a setback during a bullpen session, and his move to the 60-day IL will officially prevent him from pitching again this season. He'll finish the 2024 campaign with a 3.46 ERA and 0.90 WHIP alongside a 49:12 K:BB across 39 innings. Seby Zavala was selected from Triple-A Tacoma to fill the opening on Seattle's 40-man roster.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Olson (shoulder) will rejoin the major-league club to be evaluated after a successful rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Toledo, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The right-hander threw 45 pitches across three scoreless innings Tuesday, which is only a minor increase from the 39 pitches and two innings he tossed during his first rehab outing Sept. 5. Hinch mentioned the possibility of a third rehab start, but the next steps in Olson's rehab won't be determined until he's checked out back with the big club.

Castillo was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The right-hander already received a platelet-rich-plasma injection and hopes to be available after spending the 15-day minimum on the shelf. Even in a best-case scenario, Castillo will only be able to rejoin the Mariners for one or maybe two starts before the end of the regular season. Seattle is currently three games back of the final AL wild-card spot and is tied with two other teams, and the playoff positioning could affect how quickly the organization elects to bring Castillo back.

Garcia (elbow) was pulled off his throwing program Tuesday after reporting discomfort following a bullpen session, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Garcia has been on the injured list since Aug. 23 with right elbow inflammation, and his latest setback indicates that he likely isn't close to a return to Seattle's bullpen. The Mariners will evaluate him to determine the severity of the issue, but there is no guarantee that the 34-year-old righty will make it back before the end of the season.

Butler is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros due to a virus, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Butler is feeling under the weather, so he's on the bench Tuesday after a run of 20 straight starts. Manager Mark Kotsay hopes the outfielder will be back in the lineup for Wednesday's contest.

Torkelson was removed from the Tigers' lineup Tuesday due to an illness, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

After the Tigers' road trip, several players on the team returned home feeling under the weather. Like Torkelson, Dillon Dingler was also scratched from the lineup Tuesday due to an illness. Andy Ibanez is taking over for Torkelson on Tuesday as the first baseman and batting sixth.

Robles (elbow) is starting in right field as the leadoff hitter Tuesday versus the Padres.

Robles had a pitch hit his elbow in Friday's game against the Cardinals, which resulted in him being removed three innings later. It also resulted in him missing the next two games Saturday and Sunday. The outfielder was able to get an extra day of rest with the Mariners having Monday off.

Driscoll (quad) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's game versus the Phillies.

Driscoll had to be pulled from his last start Saturday with a bruised left quad, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. The catcher is 2-for-10 with a couple RBI in his first three major-league games.

Dingler was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies due to an illness, Evan Woodbery of MLive.comreports.

Dingler is one of a handful of Tigers players feeling under the weather and won't start as scheduled Tuesday. The 25-year-old will be available off the bench and should rejoin the starting nine within the next couple days.

The White Sox optioned Nastrini to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

The right-hander worked as a bulk reliever Monday against the Guardians and delivered his best outing of the campaign with 3.1 scoreless innings, but he'll still lose his place on the MLB roster. Nastrini hasn't been effective in his nine big-league appearances (eight starts) this season and has a 7.07 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and 26:36 K:BB in 35.2 innings.
