Adolis Garcia RF | PHI
Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Back in lineup Tuesday
Garcia (quadriceps) is starting in right field and batting fifth against the Twins on Tuesday.
Garcia is still dealing with a quad issue that forced him to the injured list earlier this month. Despite his activation from the IL eight days ago, manager Bruce Bochy said this past Sunday that Garcia still isn't 100 percent. Since returning from the injured list, Garcia is 1-for-18 at the plate with zero extra-base hits, one RBI and a 0:4 BB:K.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Sent to IL with Achilles tendinitis
The White Sox placed Benintendi on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to left Achilles tendinitis, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.
The veteran outfielder's playing time had been cut in recent days, and this could be part of the reason. With his placement on the injured list, Benintendi's 2025 campaign is over. He ends his age-31 season with a .240/.307/.431 slash line, 20 home runs, 63 RBI, 57 runs scored, one stolen base and a 40:82 BB:K across 470 plate appearances. Benintendi has two years remaining on his five-year, $75 million contract he signed ahead of the 2023 season.

The 27-year-old right-hander posted a 3.20 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB across 19.2 innings in 19 games since the All-Star break.

Ryan Jeffers C | MIN
Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Not yet cleared for games
Jeffers (concussion) will travel with the Twins on their final road trip this week but has yet to be cleared to play in games, MLB.com reports.
Jeffers has been sidelined for the past two-plus weeks with a concussion. He has been able to go through most baseball activities, but Jeffers has yet to clear concussion protocol and it's uncertain whether that will happen before the end of the regular season. If Jeffers is unable to make it back this week, Christian Vazquez -- who was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday -- will serve as the Twins' primary catcher.

Adley Rutschman C | BAL
Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Reinstated from injured list
The Orioles activated Rutschman (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Rutschman has missed the last month-plus with a right oblique strain but will rejoin the Orioles' active roster for the final week of the regular season. He and Samuel Basallo should share catching duties in the final week, with both players also likely to see action action at designated hitter. Basallo could play some first base, as well.
