Sloan is not part of the Mariners' "immediate plans," Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Sloan's 4.44 ERA at Double-A Arkansas is a tad bloated thanks to a couple clunkers, but he boasts a 58:12 K:BB over 46.2 innings in his 11 starts. The 20-year-old right-hander is in the Mariners' plans for later this summer, per Jude, but Seattle already has six viable starting pitchers at the major-league level, and fellow prospect Kade Anderson could also be ahead of Sloan in the pecking order.

Turner (wrist) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports.

The 32-year-old departed Monday's game against the Marlins with a bruised right wrist after being hit by a pitch, and he'll miss at least one start due to the injury. Edmundo Sosa is picking up a start at shortstop Tuesday in the absence of Turner. Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday that Turner is likely to return to the lineup Wednesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

The Mets have reinstated Senga (spine/arm) from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Senga will return to the big-league club after a seven-week absence due to back and arm injuries. The 33-year-old built up to 75 pitches and six innings during his fourth and final rehab outing, so he'll likely still have some minor workload limitations early on. The Mets optioned Jonathan Pintaro to Triple-A Syracuse to make room for Senga on the active roster.

Anderson is not part of the Mariners' "immediate plans," Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Anderson's first 11 starts in pro ball couldn't have gone much better, as he's collected a microscopic 1.13 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 82:7 K:BB over 55.2 innings with Double-A Arkansas. However, while the Mariners do expect Anderson to contribute in the majors at some point this season, a big-league debut for the top prospect is not imminent. Seattle already has six capable starting pitchers at the major-league level, complicating the timeline for Anderson's debut, but there could come a point when the southpaw forces the issue.

Sands underwent an MRI on Friday that showed healing in his injured forearm, though inflammation was still present, MLB.com reports.

The Twins placed Sands on the 15-day injured list May 2 due to what the team described as a mild right forearm strain, resulting in the reliever being shut down from throwing for a couple of weeks. He made enough progress to begin a minor-league rehab assignment June 2, only to be returned to Minnesota after his forearm bothered him during his lone appearance with Triple-A St. Paul. While Sands appears to have avoided any sort of major setback, the Twins will once again have him pause his throwing program to allow the inflammation to dissipate. He now appears unlikely to return from the IL until at least early July.

The Marlins recalled Fulton from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

The left-hander was in the majors for one day in early May and was set back to Triple-A after giving up two runs across four innings of long relief. Fulton, who has primarily been working out of the rotation for Jacksonville, will now get another look in the big leagues and is likely to work as a long reliever.

Smith will be shut down for two weeks after being diagnosed with a left shoulder impingement, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Smith will require two weeks to get ramped back up following the shutdown period, so he's looking at four weeks away from games in a best-case scenario. The left-hander had seemed close to getting his first opportunity at the major-league level, but that will not happen anytime soon now. Smith has collected a 4.67 ERA and 77:36 K:BB over 52 innings covering 14 starts with Triple-A Charlotte in 2026.

Kempner was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

The right-hander fired 2.1 scoreless innings Monday against the Phillies and is being sent down Tuesday in favor of a fresh bullpen arm (Dax Fulton). Kempner has given up just three hits with a 10:2 K:BB across nine scoreless frames in the majors this season, so it should only be a matter of time before he gets another look with the big club.

Ruiz is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

It looks to be a routine day off after Ruiz started at catcher the last two days. Drew Millas will be behind the dish and will bat eighth for the Nationals.

Gasper (groin) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Blue Jays.

He'll miss a second straight start after having started each of the previous seven tilts. Gasper is considered day-to-day. Connor Wong will do the catching and Masataka Yoshida will serve as the designated hitter for the Red Sox on Tuesday.
