Langford is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Langford will take a seat Tuesday after starting the previous 14 games, and he posted a .595 OPS during that span. Josh Smith will shift to left field while Jonah Heim receives a turn at designated hitter.

Kavadas isn't in the Angels' lineup for Tuesday's game versus Kansas City, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

The lefty-hitting Kavadas will take a seat Tuesday while the Royals send left-hander Cole Ragans to the mound. Brandon Drury will instead serve as Los Angeles' designated hitter, allowing Jack Lopez to start at second base and bat ninth.

Moniak isn't in the Angels' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Moniak will step out of the lineup Tuesday as the Angels prepare to face left-hander Cole Ragans. Kevin Pillar will fill in at center field and bat fourth.

Sweeney isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Sweeney will get a chance to regroup after going 1-for-7 with four strikeouts across his first two career big-league games. Javier Baez will get the starting nod at shortstop instead and bat ninth.

Rogers isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

The Tigers seem to be comfortable alternating between Rogers and Dillon Dingler at catcher, and Tuesday will mark Dingler's turn to start behind the dish.

The Orioles recalled Povich from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

Povich was sent down following a spot start Saturday versus the Red Sox after allowing two runs over 6.1 innings, but he's back now to take the roster spot of Zach Eflin (shoulder). The rookie left-hander would appear likely to rejoin the rotation for a start Thursday against the Astros.

The Orioles placed Eflin on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation.

Eflin had shown no signs of his shoulder bothering him, having turned in four straight quality starts with a 2.13 ERA since joining the Orioles. He had been in line to make his fifth start as a member of the Orioles on Wednesday versus the Mets but instead will be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. Cade Povich has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and should slide into Eflin's rotation spot.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that the Rangers will place Mahle on the injured list with shoulder stiffness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Mahle made his return from Tommy John surgery Aug. 6 and made three starts since, logging a 4.97 ERA in 12.2 innings. His most recent start ended after three innings and it appears he picked up an injury during the outing. The Rangers are expected to activate Jon Gray (groin) to fill Mahle's spot in the rotation.

Dezenzo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Dezenzo has a .161/.212/.290 slash line and 33.3 percent strikeout rate in his first nine big-league games and will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Yordan Alvarez is serving as the designated hitter while Mauricio Dubon receives a start in left field.

The Orioles recalled Tate from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

Tate will take Keegan Akin's (paternity list) spot in the bullpen temporarily. Tate has thrown 33.1 innings for Baltimore this season, logging a 4.59 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP with a 23:9 K:BB.
