Faedo had a procedure Tuesday which involved a portion of his right middle fingernail being removed, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Faedo had visited a finger specialist, who recommended and performed the minor operation. The right-hander is receiving treatment and will resume a throwing program as symptoms allow. Faedo is eligible to return from the injured list next week, but a timetable for his return is unclear at the moment.

DeGrom will undergo Tommy John surgery to repair a torn UCL in his right elbow, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

DeGrom landed on the injured list April 29 and was shifted to the 60-day IL on Monday. The 34-year-old ace had been throwing bullpen sessions regularly and didn't appear to suffer any setbacks, but the procedure will shut him down for the season and keep him out the majority of 2024 as well. The Rangers signed deGrom to a five-year, $185 million contract in the offseason, and he will conclude 2023 with a 2.67 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and a dominant 45:4 K:BB through 30.1 innings.

Rodriguez (finger) played catch after being cleared to do so Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Tuesday marks the first time Rodriguez has thrown since landing on the 15-day injured list last week. His quick return to throwing is a positive sign, especially given the lack of clarity from the team about his timeline. The next step for Rodriguez would be to up the intensity of his throwing sessions.

Paddack (elbow) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Paddack has been cleared for mound work almost 11 months after undergoing Tommy John surgery. He told reporters after Tuesday's side session that he wants to be pitching in either a bullpen or rotation role for the Twins by early-to-mid September.

The Blue Jays reinstated Bassitt from the paternity list Tuesday.

Bassitt will return to the Blue Jays ahead of his next start Wednesday against the Astros. The 34-year-old righty has been solid this season with a 3.41 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 65:26 K:BB.

Manoah was optioned to the Blue Jays' Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

The move comes one day after Manoah was pummeled for six runs while recording just one out in a loss to the Astros to push his ERA on the season to 6.85. The Blue Jays sending Manoah all the way down to their FCL affiliate figures to mean he won't be pitching in any games right away and instead will be working on mechanics and other things in hopes of regaining his old form. He'll likely be put into the Triple-A Buffalo rotation once he's deemed ready, with the hope that he'll eventually return to Toronto.

The Yankees are expected to call up Vasquez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Wednesday's game versus the White Sox, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

New York still isn't listing an official replacement in the rotation for the injured Nestor Cortes (shoulder) for Wednesday's contest, but Vasquez was spotted in the clubhouse Tuesday. He can't be promoted yet unless it's to replace an injured player, so the Yankees will likely officially place Cortes on the injured list prior to Wednesday's contest to facilitate Vasquez's call-up. Vasquez allowed two runs over 4.2 innings in his major-league debut against the Padres on May 26.

Teodo (forearm) has allowed two earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four in 5.1 innings across two starts since being activated from High-A Hickory's 7-day injured list May 24.

Teodo hasn't started either contest, as he's instead been deployed as a bulk reliever in tandem outings with Dane Acker, who was reinstated from the IL that same day after being sidelined for the first seven weeks of the season with an unspecified injury. Until both young hurlers are fully stretched out, Teodo and Acker may continue to work in a tandem.

Manning (foot) threw live batting practice Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

It would appear to be the first time Manning has faced hitters since he went down with a fractured right foot back in mid-April. Assuming the right-hander comes out of Tuesday's session with no issues, he'll be cleared to begin a rehab assignment and presumably will require multiple rehab starts before rejoining the Tigers' rotation.

Dunning will start Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Dunning, who opened the season as a long reliever, continues to fill in for the injured Jacob deGrom (elbow), who was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday. Tuesday will be Dunning's sixth turn through the rotation, and he should get at least another four before deGrom's earliest return date, June 28. Dunning has a 2.28 ERA with 21 strikeouts and six walks over 27.2 innings as a starter.
