The Mariners demoted Pereda to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Pereda will head back down to Triple-A Tacoma in direct response to Cal Raleigh being activated off of the 10-day injured list. Pereda has slashed .270/.324/.365 with two homers and four RBI in 63 plate appearances with Seattle this season. The Mariners will now carry Cal Raleigh and Mitch Garver as backstops.

The Guardians recalled Halpin from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, reports Cade Cracas of Sports Illustrated.

Halpin will return to the big-league club after recently being demoted two weeks ago on June 2. At the major-league level, the 24-year-old slugged just .167/.194/.200 in 31 plate appearances. Halpin will rejoin the club as the corresponding move to Angel Martinez (foot) being placed on the 10-day injured list.

The Mariners activated Crawford (hand) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

The veteran shortstop will end up spending only the 10-day minimum on the shelf due to a bruised right hand, which he sustained on a hit-by-pitch. Crawford was carrying a hot bat prior to the injury with a .333/.408/.643 slash line and four homers in his last 11 games before landing on the IL.

The Mariners reinstated Raleigh (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

After missing over a month of action as a result of being placed on the IL on May 14, Raleigh is back with the big-league club. The catcher completed a five-game rehab assignment between High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma before being cleared to return to Seattle. In order to make room on the roster for Raleigh, the Mariners optioned Jhonny Pereda to Tacoma.

Gonzalez (shoulder) is beginning a rehab assignment with Double-A Portland on Tuesday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Gonzalez has been on the shelf all season after undergoing shoulder surgery in March, but he's finally been cleared for game action. The 29-year-old is expected to split his playing time between second base and designated hitter in the minors, and he'll likely need at least a handful of games during the rehab stint before being activated from the IL.

Caratini is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Rangers.

The switch-hitting Caratini had drawn five straight starts at catcher against right-handed pitching, but he will begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench. Alex Jackson is drawing a second consecutive start behind the dish for the Twins.

Martinez (foot) will be placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, reports Cade Cracas of Sports Illustrated.

After suffering a left foot bruise, which is now deemed to be a fracture, Saturday and sitting out Sunday's matinee, Martinez will be placed on the 10-day IL. Prior to his injury, Martinez batted .239/.276/.442 with 11 homers and 33 RBI this season. Petey Halpin was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to take Martinez's spot on the active roster.

Dominguez (teeth) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the White Sox.

The Yankees will be cautious with Dominguez after he just had a tooth extracted. The 23-year-old also just came off the injured list June 13 following a shoulder injury, making manager Aaron Boone even more cautious with his outfielder. Cody Bellinger with play left field and Jose Caballero will take over in right field in Dominguez's absence. Dominguez is available off the bench for the Yankees on Tuesday.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Grisham has been diagnosed with a "moderate" right hamstring strain, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Grisham landed on the 10-day injured list over the weekend, and an MRI on Monday revealed the moderate strain. Boone did not offer a specific timetable for Grisham's return, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he's held out through the All-Star break. Spencer Jones and Cody Bellinger will be tasked with holding down center field while Grisham is out.

Anthony (finger) underwent a follow-up MRI on Tuesday that came back clean, but he's not yet cleared to swing a bat, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

The 22-year-old has attempted to swing a bat a couple times but has felt pain when swinging, so interim manager Chad Tracy said the club is taking it day-by-day with Anthony's progress. The MRI results are an encouraging development, but the young outfielder still has a long way to go before potentially coming off the injured list.
