Bryan Woo SP | SEA
Mariners' Bryan Woo: Returning over weekend
Manager Scott Servais said Tuesday that Woo (hamstring) will return from the 15-day injured list during Seattle's upcoming series against the Angels, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Servais didn't specify exactly what day Woo will return to start, though his turn in the rotation would come up Friday. The 24-year-old had been dominant in eight starts prior to landing on the IL with a strained hamstring, posting a 1.77 ERA and 0.69 WHIP in 40.2 innings. However, he threw just 45 pitches in 2.2 frames during his lone rehab start with High-A Everett this past Saturday, so Woo will most likely be working under a relatively low pitch count in his return to a major-league mound.

Rangers' Travis Jankowski: Sitting Tuesday
Jankowski is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.
Jankowski will begin Tuesday's game in the dugout after starting in each of the last two games, going 2-for-6 with two runs and three RBI over that span. Jonah Heim will serve as the designated hitter Tuesday and bat seventh against Angels right-hander Roansy Contreras.

White Sox's Mike Clevinger: Slated for rehab start Tuesday
Clevinger (elbow/neck) will make a rehab start for Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Clevinger was originally scheduled to make another rehab start with Charlotte on Saturday, but that contest was rained out. Despite allowing seven runs over his last two outings spanning 7.2 innings, the 33-year-old right-hander appears close to returning to Chicago's rotation. Clevinger landed on the injured list May 28 due to right elbow inflammation, and his rehab program was paused in late June due to neck stiffness. He started in four games for the White Sox before landing on the IL, going 0-3 with a 6.75 ERA and 1.94 WHIP across 16 innings.

Esteury Ruiz RF | MIA
Athletics' Esteury Ruiz: Starting rehab assignment Tuesday
Ruiz (wrist) will begin his rehab assignment with Single-A Stockton on Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Ruiz has been on the injured list since May 23 with a strained left wrist. He resumed swinging a bat July 1, and he has been making progress in his strengthening program. He'll need multiple rehab outings without any setbacks before coming off the IL. Prior to his injury, Ruiz was slashing .200/.270/.382 with five stolen bases, two home runs and eight RBI over 65 plate appearances.

Clayton Beeter RP | WAS
Yankees' Clayton Beeter: Could miss rest of season
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Tuesday that Beeter will visit a specialist for his right shoulder injury and could miss the rest of the season, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Prior to landing on Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 7-day injured list May 21, Beeter went 3-1 with a 2.53 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB over 32 innings in seven starts. Beeter's upcoming meeting with a specialist should help determine whether he needs surgery on his shoulder, or if he can continue to treat the injury through rest and rehab. A firmer timeline for his eventual return to the Triple-A rotation should become available within the next several days.

Tuesday's game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Wednesday, and Ober will take the mound for the first of the two games, per Dan Hayes of The Athletic.

Julio Rodriguez CF | SEA
Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Back in lineup Tuesday
Rodriguez (quadriceps) is starting in center field and batting in the cleanup spot for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Rodriguez was removed from Saturday's game against the Blue Jays due to a quadriceps injury. He was absent from the lineup Sunday, but he managed to pinch hit in the eighth inning and was hit by a pitch in his lone plate appearance. The Mariners' day off Monday seems to have done the trick for Rodriguez as he returns to his regular post in center field for Tuesday's series opener. Since June 1, the 23-year-old is slashing .212/.273/.331 with four home runs, nine RBI and a 25.0 percent strikeout rate across 128 plate appearances.
