The Red Sox optioned Fitts to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

With Hunter Dobbins (elbow) likely to return later this week and the All-Star break looming, Fitts will head to Worcester where he can remain on a regular starter's schedule. He could rejoin the rotation after the break, although it's not a guarantee since Tanner Houck (elbow) is nearing a return.

The Royals placed Canha on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow epicondylitis.

Epicondylitis is the formal diagnosis of "tennis elbow," and it's not clear how long the injury might sideline Canha. Cam Devanney has taken Canha's spot on the roster.

The White Sox optioned Gray to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Gray was with the big club for only one day and did not make an appearance. He's clearing out to make room for the return of Luis Robert (hamstring) to the active roster.

The White Sox activated Robert (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Robert has been shelved since late June with a strained left hamstring, but he has been running lately without issue and will skip a rehab assignment and go directly back onto Chicago's active roster. Tristan Gray was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Grisham will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mariners.

Grisham has dealt with a hamstring issue recently, and while he's considered healthy, Boone wanted to give him a second straight rest day after Monday's team off day. Jasson Dominguez will lead off for the Yankees on Tuesday, with Cody Bellinger likely to handle center field.

The Rays recalled Seymour from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

Seymour received his first taste of the majors in June and was sent back to Durham after covering two scoreless frames in his big-league debut. The left-hander has a 2.62 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 104:20 K:BB across 86 innings as a starter at Triple-A this season, though he's likely to work out of the bullpen while up with Tampa Bay.

Moncada (knee) is headed to Los Angeles to rejoin the Angels and is likely to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Moncada has missed more than a month of action with right knee inflammation but appears set to return after going 4-for-9 with a homer in three rehab games with the Angels' Arizona Complex League affiliate. The 30-year-old should regain his role as the Halos' primary third baseman, with Luis Rengifo shifting over to second base to cover for Christian Moore (thumb).

The Rays optioned Gervase to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

Gervase made five relief appearances during his time on the Rays' active roster, permitting three runs on three solo home runs across 6.1 innings. Tampa Bay recalled Ian Seymour from Triple-A to replace Gervase in the bullpen.

Triple-A St. Paul reinstated Rodriguez (hip) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Rodriguez missed more than a month of action with a right hip injury, but he'll be back in action for St. Paul after appearing in eight rehab games between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Fort Myers. The outfield prospect is slashing .232/.400/.392 with four home runs and six stolen bases across 39 contests this season with St. Paul.

Double-A Erie placed Hamm on its 7-day injured list June 26 due to an unspecified injury.

Hamm hadn't pitched since June 18 before Erie elected to place him on the IL just over a week later. Prior to getting hurt, the 22-year-old right-hander turned in a 4.26 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 60:20 K:BB over 57 innings in 13 starts for the Double-A club.
