The Blue Jays optioned Eisert to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Eisert made his major-league debut in Monday's loss to the Red Sox, walking three and allowing one hit but managing to turn in two scoreless innings. He's being sent out in favor of a fresh bullpen arm.

The Blue Jays recalled Martinez from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Martinez is taking the roster spot vacated by Bo Bichette (calf), who has landed on the 10-day injured list. It's the first major-league promotion for Martinez, who has slashed .260/.343/.523 with 16 home runs over 63 games this season with Buffalo. The 22-year-old can play second base, third base and shortstop, although he hasn't seen any time at the latter position this season. Martinez should see some action at second and/or third base while Bichette is out, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa likely to settle in at shortstop.

The Blue Jays placed Bichette on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to June 15, with a right calf strain.

The 26-year-old hasn't seen the field since Friday due to the calf issue and will be sidelined for at least another week after being diagnosed with a strain. According to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, manager John Schneider expects Bichette to return from the injured list when first eligible June 25. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is starting at shortstop Tuesday and could operate as Toronto's primary option there for the immediate future, and Orelvis Martinez was called up and should also see infield action while Bichette is sidelined.

The Yankees selected Misiewicz's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Misiewicz, 29, holds a 3.23 ERA and 37:10 K:BB over 30.2 innings this season with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He will provide the Yankees with another left-hander in the bullpen.

Freeman is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Mariners.

It looks to be a routine day off for the 25-year-old. Daniel Schneemann will start in center field for the Guardians on Tuesday while Freeman gets some rest.

Perales (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery next week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Perales had to leave a start at Double-A Portland earlier this month with an elbow injury, and subsequent testing has revealed the bad news. The 21-year-old will likely be sidelined at least until late in the 2025 season, if not 2026. Perales held a 2.94 ERA and 56:12 K:BB over 33.2 innings between High-A Greenville and Portland this season.

Richards struck out one over two scoreless innings of relief in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Red Sox. He gave up no hits and one walk in the 33-pitch appearance.

He had served as an opening pitcher in front of Bowden Francis in two of his previous five appearances, but Richards looks set to occupy a full-time role in the bullpen moving forward. The Blue Jays are expected to bring back Yariel Rodriguez (back) from the 15-day injured list this weekend in Cleveland, and he'll presumably step into the No. 5 spot in the rotation that had previously been covered by Richards-Francis tandem.

Rosario was placed on the 60-day injured list at Double-A Wichita due to an elbow injury, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reported Tuesday.

Rosario has put up a .759 OPS with six homers and three stolen bases during 52 games with Wichita this season but is facing an extended absence due to an elbow injury. The 21-year-old isn't a highly ranked prospect; however, he's been quite productive since entering the Twins system in 2021 and has been quickly rising through the organization.

Abreu (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram and Gazette reports.

Abreu is slated to bat second and serve as the designated hitter for the WooSox. He's been sidelined for just over two weeks with a right ankle sprain, so Abreu shouldn't need many rehab at-bats before rejoining the Red Sox' active roster.

The Guardians optioned Manzardo to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Manzardo was brought up from Triple-A on May 6 and served mostly as a part-time starter during his first stint in the big leagues, slashing .207/.241/.329 with a 26.4 percent strikeout rate over 87 plate appearances. He'll head back to Triple-A to pick up more consistent playing time. Third baseman Jose Ramirez (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list in a corresponding move.
