The Phillies reinstated Bowlan (groin) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

The right-hander has been on the shelf the past couple weeks due to a groin strain, but he's ready to rejoin the Phillies after making one scoreless rehab appearance with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Bowlan pitched in seven games prior to the injury and posted a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB over seven innings.

Castro (knee) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.

Castro has not played since exiting last Thursday's game against the Padres due to right knee soreness. It's unclear whether he will be available off the bench. Edouard Julien is again at second base for the Rockies on Tuesday.

The Rockies activated Freeland (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Freeland will start Tuesday's game in Cincinnati after missing the last three weeks of action with left shoulder inflammation. The southpaw didn't make any rehab starts prior to being activated, so Freeland could be relatively limited from a workload perspective in Tuesday's outing.

Robert is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

It's the third absence in New York's past four games for Robert, who is batting .132 (5-for-38) with three doubles and no homers in his past 10 contests. Carson Benge will shift to center field Tuesday while Brett Baty receives a start in right.

The Blue Jays optioned Lee to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

He's being sent down to accommodate the return of Trey Yesavage (shoulder). Lee's stint in the majors lasted just one day, and he was charged with one run over 1.1 innings in a relief outing Monday versus the Red Sox.

The Blue Jays activated Yesavage (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Yesavage is set to make his season debut Tuesday against the Red Sox after getting a late start to the season due to a right shoulder impingement. The right-hander held an 8.59 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in four rehab starts, though he did strike out 22 batters across 14.2 innings. Yesavage threw 64 pitches in his final rehab outing, so he will not be ready for a full workload Tuesday.

Greene (elbow) is playing catch from 110 feet and is about three weeks away from progressing to bullpen sessions, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

The right-hander underwent surgery on his right elbow in mid-March to remove bone chips, and he moved to the 60-day injured list shortly thereafter. Greene will be eligible to be reinstated in late May but is expected to be out for most of the season's first half. A clearer return timeline should come into focus once he advances to mound work.

Lawrence tossed a scoreless inning with one strikeout Monday in the 4-2 loss to the Cardinals.

Lawrence was limited to just 17 appearances last season due to an elbow injury, but Monday's outing marked his 14th already in 2026. The sinker-sweeper pitcher has missed bats consistently, ringing up 16 strikeouts over his first 14 frames. Lawrence is pitching primarily in low-leverage situations for the time being, but that could change if he continues to consistently shut batters down (zero runs allowed in last six appearances).

Lodolo (finger) will make his next rehab start Saturday at a yet-to-be-determined affiliate, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Lodolo fanned seven over five scoreless frames with High-A Dayton on Sunday in his first rehab outing. He threw about 10 breaking balls in that start, and it's likely he'll attempt to incorporate more Saturday as he works his way back from a blister on his left index finger. Lodolo could return from the injured list next week following Saturday's outing, but it's possible the Reds ask him to make an additional rehab start to continue building up his pitch count.

Weissert pitched a scoreless ninth inning during which he allowed one hit in the 5-0 win over the Blue Jays on Monday.

Weissert has tallied 62 or more appearances the last two seasons with the Red Sox and is on pace for that again with 13 trips to the mound over Boston's first 29 games. The right-hander is being used primarily low-leverage situations thus far after blowing nine save opportunities last season, the second most in MLB. Weissert does continue to boast above-average swing-and-miss stuff, however, recording 16 strikeouts across his first 11.2 innings in 2026.
