Matthews (shoulder) threw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

It's the first time Matthews has faced hitters since he was diagnosed in early June with a moderate subscapularis strain in his right shoulder. If he bounces back well from Tuesday's session, Matthews could be cleared for a rehab assignment. Given that he hasn't pitched in more than a month, the 25-year-old is sure to require at least a couple rehab starts before the Twins consider putting him back into their rotation.

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Tuesday that Wells (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session soon, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Wells has been throwing off a mound since early May and is almost ready to face hitters for the first time since undergoing UCL revision and internal brace augmentation surgery on his right elbow June 17, 2024. He is aiming to contribute for the Orioles at some point in the second half.

Povich (hip) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander was pulled off his rehab assignment in late May due to renewed soreness in his left hip, but after being re-evaluated and receiving a second opinion, he was cleared to resume throwing. Wednesday will be Povich's second bullpen session since the soreness resurfaced, and he could resume the rehab assignment soon if he avoids further issues.

The Royals transferred Ragans (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Ragans had been scheduled to resume a throwing program Monday, but it's going to take him a while to get built back up after he was shut down for nearly a month with a left rotator cuff strain. He is now not eligible to return until early August.

The Red Sox optioned Fitts to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

With Hunter Dobbins (elbow) likely to return later this week and the All-Star break looming, Fitts will head to Worcester where he can remain on a regular starter's schedule. He could rejoin the rotation after the break, although it's not a guarantee since Tanner Houck (elbow) is nearing a return.

Double-A Erie placed Hamm on its 7-day injured list June 26 due to an unspecified injury.

Hamm hadn't pitched since June 18 before Erie elected to place him on the IL just over a week later. Prior to getting hurt, the 22-year-old right-hander turned in a 4.26 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 60:20 K:BB over 57 innings in 13 starts for the Double-A club.

Garcia (elbow) struck out four and allowed one earned run on one hit and no walks over two innings in his rehab start Monday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Monday's outing marked Garcia's first official game action since July 4, 2024, when he made his second of two rehab starts last season after completing his recovery from May 2023 Tommy John surgery. He was shut down soon thereafter due to recurring soreness in his surgically repaired elbow, and though he appeared to be fully healthy to begin spring training, Garcia was shut down again when he was diagnosed with inflammation in the elbow. Garcia has steered clear of setbacks since he resumed his throwing program in late April, and he's now finally reached the final phase of his recovery. While he opened his rehab assignment on a positive note by retiring six of the seven batters he faced, Garcia will likely need the entirety of the 30-day rehab window to get fully stretched out for a traditional starting role before he returns from the 60-day injured list. Garcia owns an excellent 3.53 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over 352 career innings in the majors, but he'll likely need to perform well during his rehab assignment in order for Houston to open up a spot for him in the rotation.

Young will start Tuesday's game against the Mets at Camden Yards, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

After making what was expected to be a spot start for the Orioles on June 25 and subsequently getting optioned to Triple-A Norfolk, Young was recalled just a few days later when a rotation spot opened up with Zach Eflin's (back) move to the injured list. In his fourth start of the season for Baltimore last Tuesday in Texas, Young lasted just four innings and was dealt a loss after giving up three earned runs on six hits and two walks. Though he looks poised to stick around in the rotation until one of Eflin or Cade Povich (hip) returns from the injured list, Young doesn't profile as a reliable streaming option in the majority of fantasy leagues. The 26-year-old righty will head into Tuesday's start with an 0-3 record, 7.02 ERA and 1.98 WHIP through his first 16.2 big-league innings.

Evans is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Yankees in New York, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

Evans will be making his second straight turn through the Seattle rotation after he was summoned from Triple-A Tacoma last week to replace the struggling Emerson Hancock, who was demoted to the minors. In his first big-league appearance since June 10 this past Thursday, Evans took a no-decision in the Mariners' 3-2 loss to the Royals while striking out three over 5.2 shutout innings. Evans owns a mediocre 17.4 percent strikeout rate over eight starts with Seattle this season, but he's thus far pitched to a 2.96 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 45.2 innings. Provided he can avoid any major blowups in future starts, the rookie right-hander should hold down a spot in the Seattle rotation until Bryce Miller (elbow) is ready to return from the injured list.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in an appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Gil (lat) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Sunday.

Boone didn't reveal which affiliate Gil might join for his rehab assignment, but the right-hander has been facing hitters recently and is ready to take the next step in the recovery process. Gil will be built up as a starter, and the expectation is that if all goes well during his rehab assignment, he will rejoin the Yankees rotation before the end of July. The 27-year-old has been out all season due to a right lat strain.
