Bloss (shoulder) will play light catch Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Bloss was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder inflammation following his major-league debut, but he has a shot to return shortly after those 15 days are up. Whether he returns in the majors or minors could hinge on whether Bloss beats Justin Verlander (neck) back from the IL.

Tucker (shin) took swings off a tee Sunday and could be cleared to begin running soon, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Tucker's recovery from a right shin contusion has dragged on longer than anticipated, but it looks like he's finally turned a corner as he resumes baseball activities. He's more than three weeks removed from suffering the injury and still has some hoops to jump through, so he could require a rehab assignment before rejoining the Astros' active roster.

Brennan is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Brennan had started in nine of the Guardians' previous 10 games, but he'll be on the bench for Tuesday's contest with the Orioles trotting out a lefty (Cole Irvin). Instead, Johnathan Rodriguez will play right field and bat sixth.

Hamilton is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jays.

Hamilton hit a big home run in the Red Sox' comeback win over the Blue Jays on Monday, but he will begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. Ceddanne Rafaela is at shortstop and Enmanuel Valdez will play second base.

Naylor is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Naylor will get his first day off since May 22, avoiding a matchup with lefty Cole Irvin on Tuesday. Gabriel Arias will bat eighth and play first base.

Schneemann is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Schneemann will dodge a matchup with southpaw Cole Irvin on Tuesday. Instead, Tyler Freeman will fill center field and bat fifth.

Arozarena is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Arozarena will get his first true day off of June on Tuesday, with Josh Lowe filling in at DH while Jonny DeLuca plays left field. Arozarena has generated a hit in nine of his last 10 games.

The Blue Jays optioned Berroa to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Berroa was with the major-league club for two days and saw some action as a defensive replacement and pinch runner, but he did not receive a plate appearance. He's clearing out to make room for Bo Bichette's return from the injured list.

Lowe (toe) isn't in the starting nine for Tuesday's game against Seattle.

Lowe will be on the bench for the third consecutive game after suffering a broken right pinky toe Saturday. While he's expected to avoid the IL and was available to pinch hit Sunday, it's slightly concerning he hasn't appeared since sustaining the injury. Jose Caballero will bat third and play second base Tuesday.

The Blue Jays activated Bichette (calf) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Bichette will skip a rehab assignment and rejoin the floundering Blue Jays following a minimum 10-day stay on the IL. He'll bat leadoff Tuesday against the Red Sox. Isiah Kiner-Falefa had been handling shortstop while Bichette was on the shelf but now will slide back to third base.
