MLB Player News

Mateo was removed from Tuesday's game against the Marlins due to a left arm injury, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Mateo collided with Gunnar Henderson after both players dove for a groundball in the third inning, causing Mateo's arm to bend awkwardly. Mateo was immediately taken out of the game and replaced by Ramon Urias, and the Orioles' training staff will presumably take him in for imaging to determine the extent of his injury.

The Angels designated Hiura for assignment Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The return of Luis Rengifo (wrist) from the IL on Tuesday will leave Hiura without a spot on the active roster, and because he has no more options remaining, he will also lose his spot on the 40-man. The 27-year-old has slashed an incredible .360/.429/.853 through 85 plate appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake, though he managed just a .296 OPS in 10 games with the Angels.

The Angels reinstated Rengifo (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rengifo has been out of action for nearly three weeks due to right wrist inflammation, and he'll now serve as the Angels' DH in his first game back from the IL. Prior to getting injured, the 27-year-old slashed .315/.358/.442 with six homers and 25 RBI while swiping 22 bags in 69 games. Keston Hiura was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Garver is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Garver has gone 0-for-10 with seven strikeouts and two walks in his first three games of the second half, and he'll sit for Tuesday's divisional contest. Jason Vosler will bat seventh as the designated hitter against Halos righty Jose Soriano.

Dubon isn't in the Astros' lineup Tuesday versus the Athletics.

Dubon did not play in consecutive games Friday and Saturday amidst an 0-for-10 slump before going 1-for-6 over the subsequent pair of contests. The outfielder will get the day off again Tuesday with Yordan Alvarez starting in left field and Yainer Diaz slotting as the designated hitter. Victor Caratini enters the lineup in Dubon's stead as the No. 8 hitter and draws a start at catcher.

The Mariners recalled Locklear from Triple-A Tacoma, and he's starting at first base and batting sixth Tuesday against the Angels.

The Mariners have elected to move on from first baseman Ty France, and Locklear will now have the opportunity to secure the starting role after posting an .887 OPS between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this season. The 23-year-old received his first taste of the majors in June while France was banged up, but Locklear was sent back to Tacoma after just 11 games. He's poised for a longer stay this time around as one of Seattle's top prospects.

The Mariners recalled Rivas from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

With J.P. Crawford (hand) headed for the injured list, Rivas will rejoin the big-league squad in order to replenish the Mariners' infield depth. The 26-year-old has gone 2-for-6 during his previous stints in the majors this season and has slashed .296/.441/.424 through 266 plate appearances in the minors.

Marlowe was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Marlowe was last seen in the majors in the second half of the 2023 season when he slashed .239/.330/.420 with three home runs and 11 RBI across his first 34 big-league games. He's generated a slashed .235 average and .736 OPS across 90 games with the Rainiers this minor-league season, and his return to the majors comes with Julio Rodriguez (ankle) and J.P. Crawford (hand) both landing on the 10-day injured list.

The Mariners placed Rodriguez on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right ankle sprain, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Rodriguez suffered the injury after crashing into the outfield wall during Sunday's contest. He was initially labeled as day-to-day, but after further evaluation from the Mariners' training staff, the team has elected to sideline the 23-year-old for at least 10 days rather than attempt to rush him back into the lineup. With Rodriguez out, the door is open for Jonatan Clase and the newly recalled Cade Marlowe to see playing time in Seattle's outfield.

Miranda (back) will report to Triple-A St. Paul to start a rehab assignment Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The 26-year-old landed on the injured list just before the All-Star break due to a lower-back strain, and he's on track to return after missing little more than the 10-day minimum. Miranda could get in two rehab games with St. Paul and potentially be with the MLB club for Friday's series opener in Detroit.
