  • Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Not ready to rejoin lineup

    Guerrero (elbow) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

    Guerrero will wind up missing out on a second straight start while he continues to tend to a right elbow contusion, which he suffered when he was hit by a pitch in Sunday's loss to the Pirates. The Blue Jays don't appear to be concerned that the bruised elbow will send Guerrero to the injured list, as manager John Schneider told Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca that the 27-year-old is still experiencing some difficulty extending his right arm but was able to take some swings off a tee and against a pitching machine prior to Tuesday's game. Schneider also added that Guerrero could be available off the bench if a pinch-hitting situation arises.

  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Remains out of lineup

    Schanuel (calf) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Detroit.

    Schanuel will miss a second straight start with a tight left calf injury that's bothered him off-and-on throughout the season. He is considered day-to-day, but the more time Schanuel misses, the higher the likelihood for an IL stint. Vaughn Grissom is again handling first base in Schanuel's stead Tuesday.

  • Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Back in lineup Tuesday

    O'Hoppe (head) will start at catcher and bat ninth in Tuesday's game versus the Tigers.

    O'Hoppe didn't play in the Angels' last two games following a collision at home plate with the Rangers' Josh Jung last Friday. O'Hoppe avoided a concussion, however, and has been deemed ready to go for the series opener in Detroit.

  • Noah Schultz SP | CHW

    White Sox's Noah Schultz: Lands on IL with knee tendinitis

    The White Sox placed Schultz on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to right knee patellar tendinitis.

    The injury isn't an unfamiliar concern for Schultz, who spent most of the second half of the 2025 season on the shelf at Triple-A Charlotte due to the same issue. The White Sox haven't offered word yet on the severity of Schultz's latest flareup of patellar tendinitis, making it difficult to forecast how long he might be shelved. Chicago recalled right-hander David Sandlin from Triple-A in a corresponding move, and he'll step into Schultz's spot in the rotation Wednesday versus the Twins in what will be the former MLB's debut. Through his first eight starts with Chicago after being called up from the minors in mid-April, Schultz has gone 2-4 with a 5.82 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 33:22 K:BB in 38.2 innings.

  • Trey Gibson SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trey Gibson: Drawing start this week

    Gibson has joined the Orioles' taxi squad and is expected to be formally recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to start either Wednesday versus the Rays or Thursday against the Blue Jays, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Chris Bassitt is lined up to take the ball on whichever of the two days Gibson doesn't start. In one start and one relief outing for the Orioles this season, Gibson has posted a 5.40 ERA and 4:3 K:BB over 6.2 innings. The Orioles need a spot starter after having a doubleheader this past weekend, and Gibson is likely to be sent back down following the outing.

  • Tarik Skubal SP | DET

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Faces hitters Tuesday

    Skubal (elbow) threw 39 pitches over 2.2 innings in a simulated game Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Skubal struck out three and served up a home run to Jahmai Jones in what was his first time facing hitters since he underwent surgery earlier this month to remove a loose body from his left elbow. Per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com, manager A.J. Hinch said that the two-time Cy Young Award winner is slated to throw another live batting practice session in five days, and Skubal will require at least one minor-league rehab start after that before being activated from the injured list. Skubal continues to make a swift recovery and appears to be tracking toward a return to the Detroit rotation within the next few weeks.

  • David Sandlin SP | CHW

    White Sox's David Sandlin: Entering rotation Wednesday

    The White Sox selected Sandlin's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    Chicago placed Noah Schultz (knee) on the 15-day injured list in the corresponding move, and the White Sox intend to have Sandlin replace him in the rotation beginning with Wednesday's game against the Twins at Rate Field, per James Fegan of SoxMachine.com. Acquired from the Red Sox during the offseason, Sandlin's organizational debut was delayed until late April while he recovered from a sore elbow, but he was highly productive over a four-start stretch at Charlotte (0.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB in 12 innings). Sandlin didn't cover more than four innings in any of those starts, however, so he'll likely be limited from a workload standpoint Wednesday in his MLB debut.

  • Nick Raquet RP | BAL

    Orioles' Nick Raquet: Returns to majors

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

    Raquet has permitted three runs with a 1:2 K:BB in 2.2 innings during his brief time with the Orioles this season and boasts a 3.29 ERA and 18:4 K:BB across 16.2 frames this year at the Triple-A level. He'll give manager Craig Albernaz another lefty relief option.

  • Dietrich Enns RP | BAL

    Orioles' Dietrich Enns: Booted off 40-man roster

    The Orioles designated Enns for assignment Tuesday.

    Enns pitched well down the stretch last season for Baltimore but has been less sharp in 2026, holding a 3.94 ERA and 13:11 K:BB over 16 frames. Because he's making $2.625 million this season, Enns is likely to clear waivers and remain in the organization at Triple-A Norfolk.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Taking seat Tuesday

    Narvaez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

    It's a routine day off for Narvaez, who has now started four of the last six contests at catcher. Mickey Gasper is getting a rare start behind the dish for the Red Sox in Tuesday's series opener.
