MLB Player News

Stewart (shoulder) has been playing catch from 90 feet and is scheduled to throw from 120 feet Wednesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander landed on the injured list with shoulder tendinitis in early May and received a PRP injection a couple weeks later, but his recovery progress over the past month has been slow. Stewart will need to resume mound work before a rehab assignment is considered, and he's likely at least a couple weeks away from rejoining the Twins.

Double-A Wichita reinstated Lewis (shoulder) from its 60-day injured list Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander has been sidelined for the first couple months of the season with a shoulder injury but is ready to join Wichita's rotation after three rehab starts in the lower minors. The 23-year-old is one of Minnesota's top pitching prospects and had a 2.49 ERA and 118:33 K:BB over 101.1 innings between the Single-A and High-A levels during his first professional campaign in 2023.

Abreu isn't in the Astros' lineup versus the Giants on Tuesday.

Prior to being absent from the lineup Tuesday, Abreu had made six straight starts and had made appearances in nine consecutive games, going 5-for-29 over the latter span. With the 37-year-old getting a breather, Jon Singleton will start at first and bat fifth.

Diaz (finger) isn't in the Astros' lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

X-ray and MRI results on Diaz's right index finger came back negative before Tuesday's game, but the Astros will opt to hold him out of action rather than using him as their designated hitter. Victor Caratini, who figures to start regularly until Diaz is cleared to catch again, will get the nod behind the plate and bat ninth.

Smith is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Smith has a .912 OPS through eight games in June but will take a seat Tuesday with southpaw James Paxton on the mound for Los Angeles. Davis Wendzel will receive a start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

McCormick isn't in the Astros' lineup versus the Giants on Tuesday.

McCormick will take a seat on the bench after making three straight starts in right field. Before that, the outfielder was absent from the lineup in two consecutive games. With McCormick out of the lineup Tuesday, Mauricio Dubon, Jake Meyers and Trey Cabbage will round out the outfield for the Astros.

Silseth (elbow) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday and is expected to pitch about five innings, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Registerreports.

The right-hander threw 56 pitches over four frames in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League during his second rehab outing last week, and he'll move to the upper minors for his third start. Jose Suarez is making a spot start Tuesday for the Angels, but Silseth could step into that spot in the rotation Sunday in San Francisco with a strong showing with Salt Lake.

Seager (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Despite a team day off Monday, Seager's absence will extend to four games as he continues to nurse the hamstring strain he suffered Wednesday versus Detroit. Ezequiel Duran will take over at shortstop and bat seventh Tuesday.

The White Sox transferred Leone (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

Leone was deactivated in late May due to right elbow inflammation, and his move to the 60-day IL ensures he'll be sidelined through the All-Star break. As a result of the transaction, Leone will move off the 40-man roster and open up a spot for right-hander Drew Thorpe, whose contract was selected from Double-A Birmingham ahead of his first MLB start Tuesday in Seattle.

The White Sox optioned Peralta to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Just two days after being selected from Charlotte and giving up a run in one-third of an inning during his season debut, Peralta will now head back to the minors. He'll keep his spot on the White Sox's 40-man roster, though a 7.16 ERA through 16.1 innings at Triple-A doesn't bode well for a return to the big leagues anytime soon.
