Hall (oblique) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

He'll have another mound session later this week. Out since mid-August with a strained right oblique, Hall hopes to return before the conclusion of the regular season.

Vierling has been pulled off his rehab assignment due to renewed soreness in his left oblique, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Vierling is undergoing further evaluation before the Tigers determine the next steps for him. With less than two weeks remaining in the regular season, a return for Vierling before the end of the month seems unlikely. He's been sidelined since early August and has been limited to only 31 games this season due to various injuries.

The Rangers optioned Curvelo to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

He's being sent out to accommodate the return of Danny Coulombe. Curvelo has posted a 5.50 ERA and 19:10 K:BB over 18 frames out of the Rangers' bullpen this season.

The Rangers activated Coulombe (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Coulombe has been shelved since late August with left shoulder fatigue but has been cleared to return to action following a brief rehab assignment. He'll play a key left-handed relief role in the Rangers' bullpen.

The Angels placed Neto on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Sept. 13, due to a left hand strain.

The 24-year-old shortstop hasn't seen the field since Thursday due to the injury. While Neto will technically be eligible to return for the final six contests of the regular season, the Angels will opt to shut down for the rest of the year, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. The 24-year-old will close out 2025 with a .257/.319/.474 slash line, 26 homers, 26 stolen bases, 62 RBI and 82 runs in 128 games.

Garcia is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Houston.

After going hitless in his first two games back from the injured list, Garcia will begin Tuesday's key contest against the Astros on the bench. Alejandro Osuna will start in right field and bat seventh as the Rangers try to even the series.

Rivas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Kansas City.

Rivas had started the last two games and four of the last five against right-handed pitching at second base, but he'll begin Tuesday's series opener versus righty Michael Wacha on the bench. Jorge Polanco is at second base and Dominic Canzone is in the designated hitter slot for the Mariners.

Alvarez (ankle) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Alvarez sprained his left ankle in Monday's win over the Rangers and was spotted leaving the clubhouse on crutches and wearing a walking boot. While it's no surprise he's absent from Tuesday's lineup, there's still no word on the results of an MRI the slugger had on the ankle. The Astros have Jesus Sanchez in left field and Yainer Diaz at designated hitter Tuesday.

Wood is not in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Atlanta.

Wood went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts as the Nationals' fell in the first game of the twin bill, and he'll get a breather during the nightcap. Daylen Lile is in left field and Josh Bell is at designated hitter for the Nats.

Scott is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Scott has seen his playing time slip lately, as this is the fourth time he's been absent from the lineup over the Cardinals' last six contests. Nathan Church will patrol center field and bat ninth Tuesday.
