Waldschmidt is out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Cubs, per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com.

After going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts during the series opener against the Cubs on Monday, Waldschmidt will sit out Tuesday. The Diamondbacks are starting Jordan Lawlar in center field and having him bat ninth for the second contest of a three-game set.

Manager Craig Albernaz said that O'Neill is dealing with right shoulder soreness and is set to get an MRI on Tuesday evening, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

O'Neill injured his right shoulder when he made a diving catch in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays. The right-handed batter would likely have started in Tuesday's contest against the Cardinals, who have southpaw Matthew Liberatore on the mound. Luis Vazquez is on the taxi squad in the scenario he is needed, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Legumina will serve as the Rays' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Legumina will draw his sixth start of the season, but he's expected to be limited to an inning or two before giving way to left-hander Ian Seymour, who is set to pitch in bulk relief. Since the All-Star break, Legumina has made 13 appearances and has submitted a 4.24 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB across 17 innings.

Manager Dave Roberts didn't rule out the possibility of Ohtani (knee) pitching Sunday against the Tigers, depending how things go the next few days, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The skipper indicated Sunday that Ohtani could pitch in a game as early as this week, and it appears the two-way star is in play to close out the three-game series in Detroit. The right-hander threw 30 pitches in a session of live batting practice Saturday and will have one more mound session this week. If that goes well, Ohtani could make his first appearance on the bump for the Dodgers since early July. He would likely have a limited workload early on, which would give Eric Lauer a chance to work in a piggyback role.

The White Sox recalled Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

With Huascar Brazoban (lat) headed to the IL, Cannon will come up from Triple-A to replenish Chicago's bullpen depth. The 26-year-old has allowed 14 runs (13 earned) in 16 innings across his last three minor-league outings, and he walked three batters and gave up a run without recording an out during his lone MLB appearance this season.

Outman cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The 29-year-old was reinstated from the concussion injured list Sunday and was then designated for assignment by Detroit, but he'll stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Outman has struggled with both the Tigers and Twins this season, posting a combined .172/.235/.318 slash line and 41.8 percent strikeout rate in 94 games.

Myers is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

Myers went 0-for-4 in the series-opening 5-0 loss to the Giants on Monday. Myers last sat Aug. 17 against the Cardinals, but he came off the bench for a game-tying, pinch-hit home run in the bottom of the ninth. As for Tuesday, TJ Friedl has the start in center field and is batting ninth.

The White Sox placed Brazoban on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left lat strain, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Brazoban owns a 3.16 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 62.2 innings this season, but he's allowed seven earned runs in just 10 innings since being traded to the White Sox and will now be sidelined until at least Sept. 9. Jonathan Cannon was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Sheets isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Sheets will step out of the starting nine Tuesday after going 0-for-4 with a pair of walks across San Diego's last three games. Luis Rengifo will serve as the designated hitter while Sheets sits, opening up left field for Dustin Harris.

The Guardians assigned Cecconi (arm) to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

Cecconi progressed through a few bullpen sessions since Aug. 19 after landing on the injured list Aug. 7 due to arm fatigue. The right-hander will likely not need many appearances to get back into action for the Guardians, as he has not been out very long. The 27-year-old may be cleared to rejoin Cleveland when MLB rosters expand Sept. 1.
