The Blue Jays activated Bieber (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Bieber is set to make his 2026 debut Tuesday with a start at home against the Astros. The right-hander got a late start to the season as he worked his way back from an elbow issue that had nagged at him since last season. Bieber had an up-and-down showing on his rehab assignment, posting a 6.88 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB across 17 innings. He went five innings in each of his last two rehab starts and reached 80 pitches in his final outing, so Bieber should be ready to handle around 90 pitches versus Houston.

Marsh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Nationals.

That makes it five homers during the month of June for Marsh, who continues to serve as a key cog in the heart of Philadelphia's lineup this season. Through 282 plate appearances, the 28-year-old outfielder is slashing a strong .311/.344/.489 with 10 long balls, 36 RBI, seven stolen bases and 41 runs scored.

Triple-A Tacoma placed Rivas on the 7-day injured list Wednesday due to an unspecified injury.

Since being demoted to Triple-A on May 18, Rivas slashed .154/.436/.154 over eight games with Tacoma before hitting the shelf. Once Rivas gets healthy, he could get another look with Seattle as a utility infielder later this summer.

Triple-A Tacoma placed Davis on its 7-day injured list June 2 due to a left hamstring strain, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Injuries have been a constant stumbling block for Davis throughout his minor-league career, but the 26-year-old outfielder was able to earn a spot on Seattle's 40-man roster on May 18 after a hot start to the season at Tacoma. Davis went down with the hamstring strain just over two weeks later, but assuming the injury doesn't prove to be a long-term setback, he'll have a shot at making his big-league debut later on this season. He's thus far put together a .265/.376/.512 slash line with nine home runs and one stolen base over 205 plate appearances while striking out at a manageable 22.4 percent clip.

Rosario went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a loss to Detroit on Monday.

With Ryan McMahon getting the day off, Rosario started at third base and batted leadoff. He produced the bulk of New York's runs with a two-run blast in the seventh inning. Rosario has started at the hot corner three of the past four times the Yankees have faced a southpaw starter, so he seems to be in the short side of a platoon with McMahon at the moment.

Hancock will be used out of the bullpen in Saturday's game in Cleveland as part of the latter half of a piggyback arrangement with starter Logan Gilbert, Cameron Van Til of 710 AM Seattle Sports reports.

Manager Dan Wilson announced last week that the Mariners would maintain a five-man rotation through the All-Star break but keep all six of their starters involved by using two in a piggyback arrangement every sixth game. After Bryce Miller and Luis Castillo worked in tandem last Friday versus Boston, Gilbert and Hancock will be paired together this weekend. Assuming their usage mimics that of Miller and Castillo from last week, Gilbert will likely cover around five innings and 70-to-80 pitches, while Hancock steps in to handle the final four frames. The setup will likely lessen Hancock's fantasy appeal this week, though managers may have already been leaning toward keeping him on their benches anyway. After submitting a 2.74 ERA and 0.95 WHIP through his first 13 starts, Hancock turned in his worst outings of the season in his last two starts, giving up a combined 11 earned runs on 13 hits and two walks in 9.1 innings while taking losses against the Nationals and Red Sox.

Gilbert said Tuesday that he'll make his next start Saturday in Cleveland and will be piggybacked by Emerson Hancock in the game, Cameron Van Til of 710 AM Seattle Sports reports.

Manager Dan Wilson announced last week that the Mariners would maintain a five-man rotation through the All-Star break but keep all six of their starters involved by using two in a piggyback arrangement every sixth game.

Assuming their usage mimics that of Miller and Castillo from last week, Gilbert will likely cover around five innings and 70-to-80 pitches, while Hancock steps in to finish out the game. Though Gilbert's workload will be suppressed Saturday more than it would be in his typical starts, he'll still be lined up for a win as long as he reaches five innings and departs with a lead.

Wood went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Phillies.

The star outfielder scored multiple runs for the fifth time in the last 12 games as he continues to be an effective table-setter for the Nationals. Over that stretch, Wood is slashing .319/.382/.596 with four doubles, three homers, two steals, nine RBI and 12 runs, and his 70 runs on the season doesn't just lead the majors, it's 14 ahead of the second-place duo of Nick Kurtz and Brice Turang.

Johnson is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Orioles at Angel Stadium.

The young right-hander will be making his second turn through the rotation as a replacement for Grayson Rodriguez (back), who was placed the injured list June 15. Though he delivered a stellar 2.65 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 21:1 K:BB in 17 innings over his three starts with Double-A Rocket City prior to his call-up, Johnson has yet to find success in his limited time in the big leagues over the last two seasons. Across 28 career innings in the majors spanning 19 appearances (two starts), Johnson owns a 9.96 ERA, 2.14 WHIP and 9.0 percent walk rate.

Gordon (hip) is slated to make a rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Gordon threw three innings of live batting practice Saturday without issue, so he'll move on to the final step of his recovery from a right hip impingement by heading out on a rehab assignment. Assuming that the right-hander is able to build up to around five innings or 70 pitches in his start Wednesday, Gordon could get the green light to return from the 15-day injured list next week. Once he's activated, Gordon will likely be plugged into the rotation spot that currently belongs to Sean Sullivan, who has posted a 10.29 ERA and 1.86 WHIP through his first two big-league starts.
