Robert is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

White Sox manager Will Venable said that Robert will also remain on the bench Wednesday, as he gets a two-day mental break while battling through a season-long slump, per Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times. The 27-year-old has gone 1-for-20 over his last seven contests to drag his season batting line down to .177/.266/.286. Michael Taylor will start in center field and bat eighth Tuesday.

Casas (knee) will be off crutches in two weeks and expects to be ready for Opening Day next season, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Casas spoke to reporters Tuesday for the first time since he underwent surgery a month ago to repair the ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee. He will spend most of the summer rehabbing at Boston's spring training complex in Florida.

The White Sox recalled Freeman from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Freeman has made four relief appearances in the majors this season, permitting two runs over 2.1 frames. The 27-year-old will give Chicago's bullpen a fresh arm.

The White Sox placed Cannon on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a lower-back strain.

Cannon attempted to pitch through the injury Monday against the Tigers but didn't fare well, allowing five runs over just three innings. He'll be eligible to return June 18, but it's unclear at this point whether he will be ready to go by that date.

Wells is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

It's a routine day off for Wells, who started the previous three contests and five of the last six games. J.C. Escarra will be behind the dish and bat eighth for the Yankees.

Young (shoulder) has been sent to High-A Aberdeen to begin a rehab assignment, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Young has been sidelined for nearly a month with right shoulder discomfort but has been cleared to test things out in a game setting. He's on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Norfolk and will eventually return to that affiliate when the Orioles decide he's ready.

Brieske will start Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Brieske regularly served as an opener for Detroit last season and will receive his first start of 2025 on Tuesday. The right-hander has a 4.95 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB across 20 innings this season and isn't likely to pitcher longer than an inning or two versus Chicago.

Narvaez is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels.

Connor Wong has taken a back seat to Narvaez at catcher for the Red Sox, but this will be Narvaez's second time beginning on the bench over the last three games. He enters play Tuesday with a .809 OPS to Wong's .375 mark.

Mayer is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

The Red Sox are facing a second straight lefty in Yusei Kikuchi, and the left-handed-hitting Mayer has been absent from the lineup for both contests. Abraham Toro will again play third base and bat fifth.

The Yankees optioned Vivas to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

The Yankees opted to keep Pablo Reyes around as a utility infielder over Vivas. Vivas has produced a .522 OPS in 22 major-league contests this season.
