It's the second time on the bench in Baltimore's past three games for Rutschman, who is batting .292 (7-for-24) with four doubles, two RBI and three runs through his first eight games of the season.

Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Back from IL
Triple-A Toledo reinstated Lee (oblique) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
The 23-year-old opened the season on the injured list due to an oblique strain he suffered in early March, but he's ready to join Toledo after a three-game rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland. Lee played in 126 games at Triple-A last year and had a .248/.345/.414 slash line with 14 homers and 22 stolen bases.

Orioles' Nick Raquet: Reporting to major-league club
The Orioles recalled Raquet from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
Raquet was acquired via trade from the Cardinals on Monday and will go directly onto the Orioles' roster. The left-hander made two scoreless appearances for St. Louis last season and had allowed one run with a 3:0 K:BB over his first three innings with Triple-A Memphis this season. Raquet will give manager Craig Albernaz another lefty option in the bullpen.

Orioles' Brandon Young: Optioned after spot start
The Orioles optioned Young to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
Young tossed five shutout innings in a spot start Monday against the White Sox, but the Orioles will nonetheless replace him on the roster with reliever Nick Raquet. Baltimore could recall Dean Kremer from Norfolk when it needs a starter for this weekend against the Giants.

Tristan Peters LF | CHW
White Sox's Tristan Peters: Sitting versus lefty
Peters is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
Peters has been a lineup regular to begin the season for the White Sox, but the results have been middling through nine games with a .269/.321/.308 slash line, one steal and a 35.7 percent strikeout rate. Austin Hays (hamstring) and Everson Pereira (ankle) are both on the injured list, which should give Peters some breathing room in regard to competition for playing time.

Munetaka Murakami 1B | CHW
White Sox's Munetaka Murakami: Receiving first day off
Murakami is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
The 26-year-old started the White Sox's first 10 games of the season but will take a seat after going 2-for-16 in the past five contests. Murakami has showcased his power upside already with four homers, but his swing-and-miss propensity has also been evident in the form of a 31.0 percent strikeout rate. Lenyn Sosa is taking over at first base Tuesday for Chicago.

Brooks Baldwin SS | CHW
White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: On mend from season-ending surgery
Baldwin underwent season-ending internal brace surgery last Wednesday to repair a UCL tear in his right elbow, Brooke Fletcher of the Chicago Sports Network reports.
Baldwin was hurt during spring training and was later diagnosed with a sprained UCL. The utility player elected to have surgery rather than treat the injury with rest and rehab, which has ended his 2026 campaign before it starts. Baldwin is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in 2027.

Mike Vasil P | CHW
White Sox's Mike Vasil: Moves to 60-day injured list
The White Sox transferred Vasil (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Dustin Harris, who was called up from Triple-A Charlotte. Vasil underwent Tommy John surgery in March and will be sidelined until around the middle of the 2027 season.

Dustin Harris 1B | HOU
White Sox's Dustin Harris: Contract selected
The White Sox selected Harris' contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
He's absorbing the roster spot vacated by the injured Austin Hays (hamstring). Harris could get some run in left field while Hays is out, and if that happens, his speed would make him worth a look in deep leagues. The 26-year-old went 33-for-37 in stolen-base attempts last season at Triple-A Round Rock in the Rangers organization and added an addition steal in a cup of coffee with the big club.

Austin Hays LF | CHW
White Sox's Austin Hays: Heads to 10-day injured list
The White Sox placed Hays (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Hays suffered a right hamstring strain while playing the outfield during Monday's 2-1 win over the Orioles. Manager Will Venable said Tuesday that Hays' injury is considered a Grade 1 strain and will sideline the outfielder 2-to-4 weeks, per Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com. Andrew Benintendi could see more action in left field while Hays is out, and Derek Hill, Tanner Murray and Dustin Harris are also options at the position for the White Sox.
