Selby was recently evaluated by Dr. Chris Looze in Baltimore due to ongoing symptoms with his injured right shoulder, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Selby has been out all season with right shoulder inflammation and seems to have made little-to-no progress. He is still in the process of discussing treatment options, but it's unclear whether surgery is being considered. Selby held a 3.21 ERA and 14:2 K:BB over 14 innings out of the Orioles' bullpen in 2025.

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

The right-hander threw 35 pitches in three innings across Sunday's and Monday's contests, so he'll be the odd man out of the bullpen with Chris Martin (biceps) coming off the injured list. Collyer has been an effective relief option for Texas this year with a 2.84 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 10:8 K:BB across 12.2 innings, so it should only be a matter of time before he's back in the big-league bullpen.

The Rangers activated Martin (biceps) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Martin did not look sharp on his rehab assignment, allowing five runs on eight hits (including two home runs ) over 2.2 innings covering three appearances. Nevertheless, he's been cleared to rejoin the Rangers' bullpen after missing more than a month with a right biceps injury.

The Guardians recalled Heuer from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

The right-hander was demoted to Columbus on Monday but will return to the big-league roster a day later with Peyton Pallette going on the paternity list. Heuer made his only MLB appearance of the season Sunday versus Cincinnati, giving up one run on three hits with two strikeouts and a walk over two innings.

The Twins transferred Acton (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The Twins needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster. Acton has been shelved since late April with a right shoulder strain and now won't be eligible to return until late June.

The Orioles selected Suarez's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Suarez will provide a much-needed fresh relief arm after the Orioles' bullpen had to cover 4.1 innings in Monday's blowout loss to the Rays. He's posted a 3.45 ERA and a 9:9 K:BB in 15.2 innings with Baltimore this season.

The Twins designated Topa for assignment Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Orlando Arcia. Topa is one of eight Twins relievers to notch a save this season, but he's been highly ineffective overall and particularly of late, yielding 12 runs across 5.1 innings in May. Given his $1.225 million salary, Topa is likely to pass through waivers unclaimed.

Alexander will serve as the Rangers' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The left-hander has plenty of big-league experience as a starter and will make his first start of 2026 on Tuesday. Alexander has been effective out of the bullpen this season with a 2.14 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB across 21 innings, but he shouldn't be expected to cover more than an inning or two in Colorado, given that he's yet to record more than seven outs in any appearance. Kumar Rocker is expected to follow Alexander as the Rangers' bulk reliever.

Woods Richardson struck out a batter and allowed one hit and one walk over a scoreless inning out of the bullpen in Monday's 6-3 win over the Astros.

After Woods Richardson submitted an ugly 7.71 ERA and 1.86 WHIP through nine starts to begin the season, the Twins moved him to the bullpen for the start of their six-game week. In Woods Richardson's place, the Twins tabbed rookie Kendry Rojas as their starter for Monday's game. Though Rojas wasn't built up enough to handle a typical starter's workload and was lifted after tossing four scoreless frames, the Twins opted to use six bullpen arms to cover the final five innings rather than calling upon Woods Richardson to serve as a bulk reliever. Woods Richardson thus appears set to operate in a more flexible bullpen role moving forward, with most of his appearances likely to come in lower-leverage spots.

Rogers earned the save in Monday's 6-3 win over the Astros, striking out one in two-thirds of an inning.

Manager Derek Shelton tapped Yoendrys Gomez to begin the ninth inning, but Gomez walked two of his first three batters to bring the tying run to the plate. Rogers was called on to put out the fire, and he stuck out Yordan Alvarez before getting Christian Walker to ground out. It was Rogers' first save of the season, and he now owns a 3.86 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB across 18.2 innings.
