Burleson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Yankees.

Burleson had the first three-homer game of his career in Monday's win over the Yankees, but with southpaw Ryan Weathers toeing the rubber Tuesday, the left-handed-swinging Burleson will get a breather. Blaze Jordan will shift over to first base for the Cardinals, and Jose Fermin will grab a start at third base.

Wilson (knee) will start at shortstop and bat second in Tuesday's game versus the Reds.

Wilson sat out Sunday's contest against the Tigers as he deals with patellar tendinitis in his knee, but he's ready to go after a team off day Monday. His knee situation is considered manageable, but Wilson could require an occasional off day in the final two months.

The Athletics activated Ginn (finger) from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Ginn has been on the shelf the past couple weeks due to a finger blister, but he'll rejoin the Athletics' rotation after spending the 15-day minimum on the IL. The right-hander is coming off one of his better starts of the campaign, as he allowed just one hit with seven strikeouts and three walks over 6.1 scoreless frames his last time out versus the Nationals.

Pivetta (forearm) was removed from his rehab start with Single-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday due to an apparent injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander was making his first rehab appearance since going down with a forearm strain in mid-April, but he exited Tuesday's game during the middle of an at-bat after throwing a pitch in the fourth inning. The specifics of the situation are unclear, but any sort of significant setback could threaten Pivetta's availability for the rest of the season. The Padres will likely provide an update in the near future.

The Giants activated Cox (oblique) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento.

Cox has recovered from an oblique strain that's kept him out for nearly a month, but he'll remain in Sacramento where he had been on a rehab assignment. The speedy outfielder has posted a .769 OPS with one homer and four steals in 24 major-league contests in 2026.

The Orioles acquired Hinds from the Marlins for cash considerations Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

Between stops in the big leagues with the Reds and Marlins this season, Hinds has gone just 4-for-35 (.114 average) at the dish. The 25-year-old could get a look with Baltimore later this season, but for now, he'll play regularly at Norfolk.

The Orioles acquired Heuer from the Brewers for cash considerations Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

Heuer has been traded twice since Saturday, after the Brewers initially acquired him from the Guardians over the weekend. He'll report to Norfolk but could eventually get a chance in Baltimore. The righty reliever has allowed five runs with a 6:5 K:BB over 9.2 frames in the majors this season.

The Orioles recalled Povich from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

Povich will enter the rotation with a start Tuesday against the Angels, though it could be a one-off arrangement if Chris Bassitt (back) returns from the injured list later this week. The left-handed Povich has made three starts and one relief appearance for Baltimore in 2026, allowing 11 runs with a 12:7 K:BB over 19.1 frames.

The Athletics placed Kurtz on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a strained right thumb.

Kurtz visited a hand specialist Monday after sitting out the final two games of the Athletics' weekend series versus the Tigers due to the thumb injury, and he'll be out for at least another week after being diagnosed with an acute on chronic volar plate tear of the MCP joint, per Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. The 23-year-old is receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection Tuesday and is without an official timeline to return.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

The All-Star third baseman started the previous eight games and will receive a day off after batting .182 (6-for-33) during that stretch. Gabriel Arias will fill in at the hot corner Tuesday while Ramirez takes a day to reset.
