Meyers (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting in center field and batting seventh Tuesday against the Twins, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Meyers has been sidelined for over a month due to an oblique strain but is back with the Astros after going 1-for-16 during a four-game rehab assignment. The 29-year-old posted a .243/.326/.378 slash line with one homer and one steal in 12 games prior to the injury and should operate as Houston's primary center fielder now that he's healthy.

The Rockies reinstated Freeman from the paternity list Tuesday.

After spending some time away from the team to welcome a new addition to his family, Freeman will rejoin the active roster and reclaim his role as a utility depth piece. Sterlin Thompson was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Priester (shoulder) departed High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday to join Triple-A Nashville for his next rehab start Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Priester's last rehab start was May 16 when he allowed seven earned runs on five hits and three walks with two strikeouts in 1.1 innings. The right-hander has struggled through his four total rehab outings between Wisconsin and Nashville with a 22.74 ERA and 3.63 WHIP across 6.1 innings. The first three appearances came with Nashville as he nursed a nerve issue in his right wrist, but then he started to deal with shoulder soreness.

Adames (thumb) will start at shortstop and bat fifth Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Adames suffered a bruised right thumb after misplaying a groundball in Monday's game, but it won't be enough to keep him from starting Tuesday's contest. The 30-year-old slugger has been starting to turn things around at the plate after a slow start to the season, slashing .405/.436/.568 with eight RBI and four runs scored across his last nine games.

Butler is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.

The Angels are sending southpaw Reid Detmers to the mound to start the game, so the left-handed-hitting Butler is taking a seat. Brent Rooker will start in right field while Shea Langeliers serves as the designated hitter and Jonah Heim enters the lineup at catcher.

Soderstrom is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.

The Angels have southpaw Reid Detmers starting Tuesday, so the left-handed-hitting Soderstrom will take a seat. Soderstrom has struggled in 2026 with a .190/.275/.375 slash line, down across the board from 2025. His dip versus lefties has been even worse with a .738 OPS in 2025 and just a .426 OPS in 2026. As Soderstrom sits Tuesday, Colby Thomas will start in left and bat third.

The Astros placed McCullers on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Manager Joe Espada said McCullers' shoulder issue is something he's been dealing with for a while. The right-hander didn't bounce back from his most recent start the way the Astros had hoped, so they'll now opt to place him on the shelf and send him back to Houston for further evaluation. A timeline for his return will likely be established once his test results come back.

Manager John Schneider said Tuesday that the outlook for Nance's forearm injury is a "best case" scenario, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Nance can begin throwing again later in the week to work through his forearm discomfort. The right-hander has been a valuable piece for the Toronto bullpen with a 1.99 ERA in 30 regular-season appearances in 2025 and a 3.86 across 20 appearances in 2026.

Romo is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mariners.

Romo, who has taken over starting catcher duties for the White Sox, is taking a seat Tuesday while Edgar Quero starts behind the plate, batting ninth.

Raley is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.

The White Sox have southpaw Anthony Kay starting Tuesday, so the left-handed bat of Raley will begin the game from the bench. Connor Joe has the start in right field and is batting sixth.
