Davis (finger/neck) returned to New York City from his rehab stint at Triple-A Syracuse to receive treatment, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 28-year-old was expected to be in the lineup Tuesday for Syracuse after his rehab assignment was paused over the weekend due to neck stiffness, but he instead rejoined the team for treatment. According to Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record, Davis hasn't suffered any setbacks with the finger or neck, so he may still be able to return from the injured list early next week as previously expected.

GM Kim Ng said Tuesday that Anderson (shoulder) will be sidelined for at least the next several weeks, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

The 28-year-old landed on the injured list earlier Tuesday with a left shoulder subluxation, and he'll end up being sidelined well beyond the 10-day minimum. Anderson can safely be ruled out into mid-June, though it's possible he misses more time. Jon Berti and Isan Diaz are the likely candidates to see reps at third base in the meantime.

Manager Jayce Tingler said that Machado (shoulder) will hit prior to Tuesday's game against the Brewers and could be available off the bench, depending on how he feels, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

While Machado will be absent from the Friars' starting nine for the fifth consecutive game, Tingler's update indicates that the star third baseman could return to the lineup as soon as Wednesday, assuming all goes well with his Tuesday hitting session.

Anderson was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left shoulder subluxation.

Anderson exited Monday's contest and is now set to miss the next several games at minimum. Backup Jon Berti figures to get the majority of the action at third base in Anderson's absence.

Machado (shoulder) will remain out of the starting lineup for the fifth straight game Tuesday against the Brewers.

Machado has been sidelined since May 19 with the shoulder issue and it remains unknown when he could return to the lineup. Ha-Seong Kim will get the start at the hot corner once again Tuesday.

Newman is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game agains the Cubs.

This figures to be just a day off for Newman, as he's been a consistent presence in Pittsburgh's lineup during the Pirates' first 46 games. Cole Tucker will start at shortstop.

The Cubs recalled Wisdom from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

The first and third baseman has struggled to the tune of a .160 average in 25 minor-league at-bats this season; however, three of his four hits have been homers. Wisdom will provide much-needed infield depth while Matt Duffy (back) spends time on the injured list.

Duffy was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a lower-back strain, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Originally labeled back tightness, Duffy's condition appears to be more serious than the Cubs initially thought. Having hit .286 in his last 13 games. the 30-year-old has been a reliable option at a number of positions and will be sorely missed while his back heals.

Anderson underwent an MRI on his sore left shoulder Tuesday, the results of which have yet to be released, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Anderson left Monday's game against the Phillies with the injury. It comes at a bad time for the third baseman, as he was finally starting to heat up at the plate, posting a 1.006 OPS over his last 11 games after struggling to a .556 OPS over his first 24. Once the results of the tests are made public, it should become clear whether he'll need a stint on the injured list.

Davis (finger/neck) could return to the lineup next week, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

On the injured list with a sprained finger, Davis' rehab stint at Triple-A Syracuse was paused over the weekend while he dealt with a stiff neck. Manager Luis Rojas indicated that the team wants to see him to play a full nine innings in a few straight games before being activated, which would make early next week the most likely timeline for his return to the Mets' depleted lineup.
