Woo will not start Tuesday's game versus the White Sox, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

The Mariners have not yet said why Woo won't start as scheduled Tuesday, but an update on his status should come in the near future. In the meantime, Jhonathan Diaz will come up from Triple-A Tacoma to start in Woo's place.

Williams (elbow) will make his next rehab start Saturday and is expected to throw about four innings and 65 pitches, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Williams covered three frames during his third rehab outing Sunday and will continue building up his workload this weekend. The right-hander could require another start in the minors after that before joining the Guardians, but he should be ready for his season debut in the majors before the end of June.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Tuesday that Lively (undisclosed) has checked out fine and is expected to make his next turn through the rotation, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

The 32-year-old experienced some unspecified tightness during his start in Miami over the weekend, which resulted in him being lifted after five scoreless innings. Lively hasn't had any issues over the past couple days, putting him on track to start this weekend in Toronto. Cleveland should confirm its pitching plans later in the week.

Flaherty (back), who received an injection Monday and is scheduled to play catch Wednesday, is expected to start this weekend against the Astros if he remains free of setbacks, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

The 28-year-old exited his start last Tuesday due to back tightness and originally lined up to make his next turn through the rotation Tuesday versus Washington, but his spot has been pushed back a few days. Flaherty's throwing session Wednesday should provide some clarity for his availability this weekend.

Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that Williamson is considering undergoing season-ending surgery to remove a lesion from his left shoulder, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Williamson has been out all season with shoulder problems and was recently pulled off a rehab assignment because of recurring discomfort. While the lefty would be done for the season if he opts to go under the knife, it's unclear what a timetable would look like if he decides against surgery.

The Brewers selected Rodriguez's contract from Triple-A Nashville ahead of his start against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Manager Pat Murphy confirmed after Monday's win over Toronto that Rodriguez would be making his MLB debut Tuesday, and the right-hander has now officially been added to the big-league roster. The 22-year-old has a 4.90 ERA and 4.1 BB/9 over 68 innings with Nashville this season, though he's given up just 12 runs with a 47:11 K:BB in his past seven outings.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Senga (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Sunday and will throw another one Wednesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

It's the first time Senga has thrown from the bump since he had to be shut down due to right triceps tightness. The hurler originally landed on the injured list due to a shoulder injury and is not expected back until after the All-Star break. Senga will need multiple rehab starts before returning, but it's not clear when he might be ready to pitch in games.

The Diamondbacks promoted Diaz from Double-A Amarillo to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Diaz is now one stop shy of the big leagues, as he'll head to Reno after punching out 77 batters in 54 innings at Amarillo. While he showcased exceptional strikeout stuff, the 23-year-old went 3-5 with a 4.33 ERA across 11 starts in Double-A this season. He's considered one of the Diamondbacks' top pitching prospects.

The Twins recalled Varland from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

Varland will make a spot start Tuesday against the Rockies as the Twins give the regular members of their rotation some extra rest. The right-hander holds a disappointing 9.18 ERA and 18:9 K:BB across 16.2 innings this season in the majors. Varland has posted a 5.31 ERA at St. Paul but has fanned 44 batters over 40.2 frames. He's likely to be sent back down immediately after Tuesday's outing.

Senzatela (elbow) threw what he termed as a "touch-and-feel" bullpen session at Busch Stadium on Saturday, MLB.com reports.

The bullpen session represents Senzatela's first known mound work since he underwent Tommy John surgery last July. The Rockies haven't ruled out Senzatela from coming off the 60-day injured list and pitching for the big club at some point later in the season, though even if the remaining steps of his rehab program go smoothly, he may not have sufficient time to get fully ramped up for a starting role.
