The Orioles recalled Young from High-A Aberdeen and have designated him as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays at Camden Yards, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Young is expected to start the second game of the twin bill. The right-hander hasn't fared well during his previous opportunities with the big club, collecting a 7.77 ERA over five starts. Young is likely to be returned to Norfolk after the spot start.

Bichette went 4-for-5 in Monday's loss to the Orioles.

All four knocks were singles, and none of them led to any runs, but Bichette remains laser-focused at the dish. The shortstop has a 10-game hitting streak going in which he's slashing .422/.435/.644 with seven doubles, a homer, six runs and 12 RBI, and per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, he set a new Blue Jays franchise over the last two contests with hits in nine consecutive at-bats. Bichette's 130 hits on the season leads the majors, as he moved one ahead of Aaron Judge (wrist) with Monday's performance.

Anthony went 2-for-3 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.

Anthony, who made a second consecutive start as the leadoff batter, has reached base safely six times in nine plate appearances atop the order. Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed prior to Monday's contest that Anthony will serve as the leadoff hitter going forward. The rookie sports a .398 on-base percentage and 14.8 BB% over 41 games at the major-league level in 2025.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Orioles.

He took Zach Eflin deep in the third inning to tie things up at 3-3, but Baltimore pulled away after that. Guerrero has hit safely in 10 straight games, slashing .463/.532/.780 over that span with three of his 15 homers on the season, as well as four doubles, 10 RBI and 12 runs.

Hamilton entered as a pinch runner, stole two bases and scored a run in Monday's 5-4 loss to Minnesota.

Hamilton pinch ran for Abraham Toro in the top of the ninth and was responsible for giving the Red Sox the lead, but Jordan Hicks was unable to close out the Twins in the bottom of the frame. Hamilton, who was recently called up from Triple-A Worcester, is up to 17 steals over 64 games. He should remain up with the team for as long as it takes Marcelo Mayer (wrist) to heal.

The Blue Jays are expected to promote Rojas from Double-A New Hampshire to Triple-A Buffalo this week, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Rojas got off to a delayed start to the 2025 campaign after suffering a midsection injury in spring training that kept him out for about two months, but he's been electric since debuting in late May. After tossing 13 scoreless innings in his four starts with High-A Vancouver, Rojas was promoted to New Hampshire in early July and has continued to overwhelm hitters. In four outings at Double-A, Rojas has submitted a 4.34 ERA, but his stellar 30:2 K:BB in 18.2 innings provides a better illustration of his dominance.

Jung went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Angels.

Jung briefly tied the game at 3-3 with his sixth-inning home run. It extended the third baseman's hit streak to seven games and gave him four RBI over the last three contests. The home run was the 10th of the season for Jung, who has had a couple of rocky seasons since emerging as a rookie in 2023. A wrist injury derailed him in 2024, while a June swoon (.429 OPS) resulted in a trip back to the minors for a stretch this season.

Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt said Monday that Thomas (foot) met with a doctor and has a new rehab plan in place, MLB.com reports.

Vogt described Thomas' plantar fasciitis as a "complicated case," and his return is taking longer than expected as the foot hasn't responded to treatment. The report estimates a potential return to the field in September. In the meantime, Angel Martinez has filled in as the Guardians' primary center fielder.

Bieber (elbow) will make his next rehab start Tuesday for Double-A Akron, MLB.com reports.

Bieber had been scheduled to make the third start of his rehab assignment with Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, but the game was postponed due to rain. He got up to 43 pitches in his previous rehab start one week ago, which suggests he'll need to complete at least two more outings in the minors before returning from the 60-day injured list. The possibility exists a team could trade for Bieber ahead of Thursday's deadline, and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the right-hander's start Tuesday is expected to be heavily scouted. He has a $16 million player option for 2026, but a high-payroll team could see him as a risk worth taking.

Lowe (foot) is expected to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game against the Yankees, MLB.com reports.

Lowe ran in the outfield both Saturday and Sunday, and the tendinitis issue in his ankle and foot appears to have subsided enough for him to return from the IL on his first day of eligibility. Once he's officially reinstated, Lowe should take over as the Rays' primary second baseman, though he'll occasionally get held out of the lineup against left-handed pitching.
