  • Austin Pruitt RP | TEX

    Rangers' Austin Pruitt: Shifted to 60-day IL

    The Rangers transferred Pruitt (knee) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

    Pruitt was placed on the 15-day IL on April 24 with an injury to his right meniscus but will need more time for recovery. He'll be unable to return until mid-June at the earliest, though it's unclear how far along he is in the recovery process.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Taking seat Tuesday

    Wong is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    Wong will get a day off Tuesday after starting four straight games for the BoSox. Reese McGuire will bat seventh and catch for Cooper Criswell.

  • Chas McCormick LF | CHC

    Astros' Chas McCormick: Activated Tuesday

    McCormick (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    McCormick has missed all of May with hamstring soreness, but he'll return to the active roster after a six-game rehab stint. The 29-year-old went 5-for-23 with a pair of doubles and a stolen base in the minors. While McCormick should end up as the Astros' starting left fielder, he's likely to split time with Joey Loperfido and could see more DH work considering the fragility of a hamstring injury.

  • Xzavion Curry RP | NYM

    Guardians' Xzavion Curry: Called up, starting Tuesday

    Curry was recalled from Triple-A Columbus and will start Tuesday against the Mets, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    The 25-year-old was optioned to Columbus in mid-April but will return to Cleveland's rotation as Carlos Carrasco (neck) lands on the injured list. Curry made just one start while up with the Guardians and delivered five scoreless frames, and he should have a chance to stick in the rotation with another strong performance Tuesday.

  • Trey Cabbage 1B | PIT

    Astros' Trey Cabbage: Sent to Sugar Land

    Cabbage was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Cabbage will head back to the minors Tuesday to make room for Chas McCormick (hamstring) on the big-league roster. In 14 plate appearances with Houston, Cabbage slashed .214/.214/.286 with two runs scored and three RBi.

  • Blue Jays' Kevin Kiermaier: Sitting Tuesday

    Kiermaier is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

    Kiermaier will dodge a matchup with the left-handed Garrett Crochet. Instead, Davis Schneider, Daulton Varsho and George Springer will fill the outfield Tuesday.

  • Guardians' Carlos Carrasco: Out with neck spasms

    The Guardians placed Carrasco on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to acute neck spasms, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    The veteran right-hander was scheduled to start Tuesday against the Mets but will now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. Carrasco had been pitching well of late with a 3.00 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in his past three starts, and it's unclear how long he's expected to be unavailable. Xzavion Curry is being called up from Triple-A Columbus to start Tuesday.

  • Ben Rortvedt C | LAD

    Rays' Ben Rortvedt: Taking seat Tuesday

    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Despite right-hander Cooper Criswell being on the mound for Boston, the lefty-hitting Rortvedt will give way to righty Alex Jackson behind the dish. Rortvedt has two hits in his last 23 at-bats.

  • Jonny DeLuca RF | TB

    Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Idle Tuesday

    DeLuca is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    DeLuca has been splitting work with Jose Siri in center field throughout May, and after going 0-for-6 with five strikeouts in his last two games, DeLuca will yield to Siri on Tuesday.

  • Jose Caballero SS | NYY

    Rays' Jose Caballero: Missing from Tuesday's lineup

    Caballero is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Caballero will get a day off Tuesday, giving way to Amed Rosario at shortstop. Caballero owns a .257/.315/.365 slash line across 164 plate appearances.
