The Tigers acquired Lee and Joseph Montalvo from the Rangers on Tuesday in exchange for Andrew Chafin, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Lee has missed much of 2024 due to injury but has looked like a potential late-inning relief arm when healthy. He holds a 4.19 ERA and 139:46 K:BB over 105.1 innings during his time at the Triple-A level.

The Tigers acquired Montalvo and Chase Lee from the Rangers on Tuesday in exchange for Andrew Chafin, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Montalvo has collected a 2.44 ERA and 73:19 K:BB over 59 innings this season with High-A Hickory. The 22-year-old is a nice get as part of a package for a rental reliever.

Garcia (elbow) threw 30 pitches split across two simulated innings Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Garcia faced hitters Tuesday and was able to reach 93 miles per hour during the session, which is in line with his normal fastball velocity. While the right-hander will still require a rehab assignment, the expectation is that Garcia will join the Astros before the regular season ends.

The Twins acquired Richards on Tuesday in exchange for infielder Jay Harry, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Richards will provide the Twins with a right-handed option out of the bullpen who's capable of covering multiple innings. The 31-year-old covered 52.1 frames over his 45 appearances with the Blue Jays this season, logging a 4.64 ERA with seven holds and a 49:24 K:BB.

Raley is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Boston.

The lefty-hitting Raley will take a seat against southpaw James Paxton and the Red Sox on Tuesday. Mitch Garver will DH while Mitch Haniger fills right field.

DeGrom (elbow) will throw a 45-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

DeGrom is expected to throw two total bullpen sessions on this road trip before facing hitters. He threw between 40 and 45 pitches in a bullpen session a week ago, so deGrom's workload hasn't been increasing, although his intensity in each session could be progressing. Once he throws his final bullpen session this week, we could get an update on when and where he will face hitters.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Rojas will dodge a matchup with southpaw James Paxton on Tuesday. In his place, Dylan Moore will bat sixth and play third base.

Arozarena (undisclosed) is batting second and playing left field Tuesday against Boston.

Arozarena exited Monday's game for precautionary reasons after colliding with the wall in foul territory during the seventh inning. The outfielder has collected a hit in each of his first three games as a Mariner, going 5-for-11 with a homer and four runs scored.

The Athletics acquired Morris from the Mets on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Paul Blackburn, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Morris, 22, holds a 3.51 ERA and 95:30 K:BB over 92.1 innings between the Single- and High-A levels in 2024. The right-hander was a third-round pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft.

The Royals traded Dickey, Mason Barnett and Will Klein to the Athletics on Tuesday in exchange for Lucas Erceg, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Dickey has been excellent for the Royals' High-A affiliate this season, slashing .269/.360/.424 with nine homers, 40 RBI and 39 runs scored in 290 plate appearances. The 22-year-old won't figure into the Athletics' immediate plans.
