The Yankees recalled Schuemann from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Schuemann sports a .203/.362/.297 batting line with one home run, six stolen bases and a 16:16 BB:K in 23 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. He could be sent back down later this week if Anthony Volpe (shoulder) returns from the injured list.

Bazzana will start at second base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game versus the Rays in his major-league debut.

Bazzana will have a chance to work his way up higher in the batting order if he gets off to a hot start, but he'll open up in the lower third of the lineup. The 23-year-old was called up earlier Tuesday after slashing .287/.422/.511 with two home runs, 10 RBI, eight stolen bases and 18 runs scored over his first 24 contests with Triple-A Columbus.

The Guardians selected Bazzana's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

News broke Monday night about Bazzana's impending promotion, and the transaction is now official. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Bazzana has earned a promotion after slashing .287/.422/.511 with two home runs, 10 RBI, eight stolen bases and 18 runs scored over his first 24 contests with Columbus. Bazzana will take over as the Guardians' primary second baseman.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday during an appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Schuemann will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take the roster spot of the injured Giancarlo Stanton (calf).

Schuemann has slashed .203/.362/.297 with one home run, six stolen bases and a 16:16 BB:K in 23 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. The utility player could be around for only a few days, as Anthony Volpe (shoulder) has a good chance to be activated from the injured list later this week.

Schneemann started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rays.

Schneemann gave the Guardians a lead with his fourth home run of the season in the fifth inning before the bullpen let it slip away. Since Gabriel Arias (hamstring) landed on the injured list earlier this month and Brayan Rocchio was moved over to shortstop, Schneemann has been receiving most of his playing time at the keystone, or at third base when Jose Ramirez has served as the club's designated hitter. The Guardians plan to call up top prospect Travis Bazzana from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday to take over as their everyday second baseman, but that doesn't mean Schneemann and his .978 OPS won't find a near-everyday role in the lineup. In addition to being capable of playing second base, third base and shortstop, Schneemann has experience at all three outfield spots.

The Cubs outrighted Kingery to Triple-A Iowa on Monday.

Kingery was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Friday, and he'll wind up sticking around in the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. After winning a spot on the Cubs' Opening Day roster coming out of spring training, Kingery logged just four plate appearances over the first month of the season.

Wetherholt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

The rookie infielder went yard in his third consecutive game Monday as part of St. Louis' four-run rally in the ninth inning. Wetherholt has settled in as St. Louis leadoff batter, batting first in each of his 27 starts on the campaign. Through 128 plate appearances, he's slashing .238/.359/.429 with six homers, two doubles, 14 RBI, four stolen bases and 22 runs scored.

Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Rangers in a 4-2 victory Monday.

Chisholm produced New York's final run with a long ball in the fourth inning. He also committed an error to prolong the game with two outs in the ninth frame, but that didn't end up costing New York the victory. Chisholm didn't homer in any of his first 23 games this season, but he's since found his power stroke with three home runs across his past five contests. Over that stretch he's batting .400 (8-for-20) and has added seven runs, seven RBI and one stolen base.

The Guardians plan to promote Bazzana from Triple-A Columbus ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rays, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Bazzana slashed .287/.422/.511 with two home runs, 10 RBI, eight stolen bases and 18 runs scored over his first 24 appearances this season with Triple-A Columbus, and the club has determined that the time has come for the 23-year-old's first taste of MLB action. Passan notes that Bazzana is in line to immediately take over at second base, which will pry opportunities away from Juan Brito and Daniel Schneemann at the keystone.

Grissom will start at second base and bat third in Monday's game against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Grissom is coming off a big weekend series in Kansas City, where he went 5-for-8 with three doubles and one run while starting in two of the three contests. Both of those starts came against left-handed pitching, and he'll remain in the lineup Monday while Chicago sends southpaw Anthony Kay to the bump. Grissom looks poised to continue holding down the short side of a platoon at the keystone with Adam Frazier.
