German will have his next start moved to Wednesday against the Angels, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

German was originally slated to start Tuesday, but manager Aaron Boone wanted to give his starters an extra day of rest. As such, the Yankees have called up Jonathan Loaisiga from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for a Tuesday spot start, bumping German to Wednesday. German has a 2.37 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP to go along with 23 strikeouts in 19 innings so far this season.

Eovaldi will undergo surgery Tuesday to remove loose bodies in his right elbow, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. He's expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks as a result, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

Eovaldi landed on the injured list over the weekend, and after a visit with the doctor Monday it was confirmed that surgery would be necessary. The right-hander missed two months after undergoing a similar procedure in 2018, though he's confident his return will be quicker this time around; Eovaldi was simultaneously recovering from Tommy John elbow surgery last season, which he believes prolonged his recovery and encouraged the Rays to be more cautious with him, per Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald. Hector Velazquez is starting in place of Eovaldi on Tuesday and is a candidate to stick in the rotation until the righty returns.

Snell (toe) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Snell felt fine after a mound session Monday, clearing the way for him to throw another bullpen Tuesday. While the southpaw won't return during Tampa Bay's current series against the Royals, he could be cleared to rejoin the rotation over the weekend against the Red Sox if everything goes off without a hitch Tuesday.

Sale will start Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Tigers, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Sale will make his start a day later than scheduled after Monday's game was postponed due to inclement weather in Boston. The southpaw will look to turn things around Tuesday, as he's 0-4 with an 8.50 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB through 18 innings (four starts) this season.

Turnbull will start Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Turnbull will follow Matthew Boyd, who is scheduled to start the first game of Tuesday's twin bill. Through four starts this season, the 26-year-old right-hander owns a 3.43 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 10.3 K/9 across 21 innings.

Means will start Wednesday against the White Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Means will rejoin the rotation for a spot start thanks to an opening created by Saturday's doubleheader. The right-hander has excelled as both a starter and reliever this season, compiling a 1.72 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB through 15.2 innings of work. Means will likely head back to the bullpen after Wednesday's outing, though he'll continue to operate in a swingman role for the Orioles.

Boyd will start Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

This was expected after Boyd's scheduled start Monday was pushed back by a day due to inclement weather in Boston. The southpaw has impressed through four starts this season (2.96 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB over 24.1 innings) and will look to keep things rolling Tuesday.

Sale's scheduled start against the Tigers on Monday was postponed due to inclement weather, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Tuesday. Sale figures to start one of the two games, though the Red Sox have yet to confirm which one. The southpaw has struggled through four starts this season, going 0-4 while posting an 8.50 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB through 18 innings.

Bieber (2-1) was charged with seven runs (five earned) on five hits over 2.1 innings in a loss to the Braves on Sunday. He struck out three and walked one.

Josh Donaldson accounted for most of the damage against Bieber, taking the right-hander deep in the first and second innings. Manager Terry Francona wouldn't let Bieber work out of trouble in the third, pulling him after only 65 pitches. It was a step backward, but Bieber was a top-15 starting pitcher in terms of earned 2019 value before this outing. He will look to get back on track next weekend in Houston.
