The White Sox placed Benintendi on the bereavement/family medical emergency list Tuesday.

By rule, Benintendi will be away from the club for the next 3-to-7 days. The White Sox could mix and match at designated hitter while Benintendi is unavailable.

Caglianone (ankle) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Toronto.

Caglianone will miss a second straight start due to right ankle soreness, an injury that's been nagging at him for at least a week. John Rave will occupy right field for the Royals on Tuesday while Caglianone recuperates.

Rustchman is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Miami.

The Red Sox have been careful not to overwork Rutschman since he came off the injured list, as this will be his fourth day off in the last two weeks. Connor Wong will do the catching and will bat ninth for Boston.

Durbin is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Marlins.

It looks to be a routine day off for Durbin, who started each of the previous 14 contests for the Red Sox. Boston will roll with Nick Sogard at third base and Anthony Seigler at second base Tuesday.

The Athletics transferred Wilson (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The 24-year-old was already ruled out for the season after being placed on the 10-day IL last week due to lingering soreness stemming from a separated shoulder, so this is just a procedural move to free up a roster spot for waiver-claim Chris Roycroft. Wilson finished the season with an underwhelming .266/.298/.388 slash line, seven homers, four steals, 37 RBI and 37 runs in 80 games.

The Athletics claimed Roycroft off waivers from the Rays on Tuesday.

Roycroft has been bludgeoned for 23 runs with an 18:12 K:BB over 24.2 innings across 18 relief appearances between the Cardinals and Rays this season. The big righty has minor-league options remaining and appears headed to Triple-A Las Vegas for the time being.

The Yankees transferred Stanton (calf) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The veteran slugger was working his way back from a right calf strain last week when he suffered a moderate strain of his left calf, further delaying his return from the injured list. This transaction doesn't mean much given that Stanton has already been sidelined well beyond the 60-day minimum. After suffering the setback, manager Aaron Boone indicated it will be "challenging" for the 36-year-old to make it back before the end of the regular season, per Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com.

The Yankees selected Topa's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Topa will get a look with the big club after logging a 1.80 ERA and 2:1 K:BB over five innings during his time with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The righty reliever held an 8.05 ERA and 12:11 K:BB across 19 frames earlier this season with the Twins.

The Blue Jays recalled Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

It's already Dallas' fifth promotion to the big leagues this season, though each stint has lasted less than a week so far. The right-hander has made three appearances for Toronto and given up seven earned runs with a 6:6 K:BB over 7.2 innings.

The Blue Jays placed Bieber on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right teres major inflammation, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Bieber had shown no signs of being hurt, having allowed a combined two runs with a 12:2 K:BB over 13 innings covering his last two starts. The right-hander will be shut down from throwing for at least the next couple weeks after being diagnosed with a "mild-to-moderate" teres major injury, per Zwelling, so his absence will extend well beyond the 15-day minumum.
