  • Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Likely available off bench

    Manager Aaron Boone said Chisholm (head) has one remaining concussion test to pass before fully clearing the protocol, but the second baseman is expected to be available off the bench Tuesday against the Tigers, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

    The second baseman was placed in concussion protocol after colliding with Jasson Dominguez in shallow right field Monday, but Chisholm expects to go through a normal pre-game workout and should be back in the lineup in short order.

    Astros' Raynel Delgado: Back in majors

    The Astros recalled Delgado from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    The 26-year-old was optioned to Sugar Land on Monday but will quickly return to the majors since Jeremy Pena (calf) landed on the injured list. Delgado received his first promotion to the majors in mid-June and is batting .280 (7-for-25) with a homer, four RBI and two runs in his first 13 games.

  • Astros' LaMonte Wade: Kicking off rehab assignment

    Wade (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Wade is ready for game action after missing the past three weeks due to a right hamstring strain. He shouldn't need an extended rehab assignment before rejoining the Astros' active roster, perhaps as soon as Friday's series opener against the Rays.

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Move to IL official

    The Astros placed Pena on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a mild left calf strain, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Pena was held out of Monday's lineup due to leg discomfort, and manager Joe Espada said after the game that the shortstop would require an IL stint. Espada expressed optimism that it can be a minimum-length stay on the injured list, which would result in Pena rejoining the active roster July 10.

  • Royals' Jac Caglianone: Returning to Kansas City lineup

    Caglianone (groin) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Tuesday's game versus the Rays.

The 23-year-old enters play Tuesday having gone just 1-for-15 with eight strikeouts over his last four contests.
