The Orioles selected Tromp's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Tromp will provide temporary depth at the catcher position after Adley Rutschman (head) sustained what appears to be a minor injury Sunday. He'll operate as Baltimore's backup catcher behind Maverick Handley until Rutschman is back in action. Tromp appeared in two MLB games this season with Atlanta before being DFA'd on April 6.

Gimenez (quadriceps) could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Dunedin on Wednesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Gimenez has been participating in full baseball activities and resumed running last week, and with his strained right quad apparently responding well, he's on the brink of beginning a rehab assignment. The second baseman likely won't need much more than a couple of rehab games before being reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Baez was ejected from Monday's game against the Giants in the fifth inning after arguing balls and strikes with the home plate umpire, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Baez will finish Monday's contest 0-for-2 with a pair of strikeouts. Matt Vierling replaces Baez in center field. Baez is 20-for-73 (.274) with five home runs in May.

Sandlin (lat) will throw a bullpen session Monday at the Blue Jays' facility in Florida, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Sandlin has been on the shelf since April 20 due to a strained right lat. Monday's workout will represent his first time throwing off a mound since sustaining the injury. The 28-year-old will need to advance to facing live hitters before potentially being activated sometime in June.

Burr experienced renewed soreness in his right shoulder during his rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Buffalo and has returned to Toronto for further evaluation, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Burr was making his sixth rehab appearance as part of his recovery from lingering right shoulder inflammation and appeared close to a return from the 60-day injured list, but the setback will extend his return timeline. Once Burr undergoes further testing in Toronto, the Blue Jays should have a better idea regarding when he might be ready to resume his rehab assignment.

Garcia (shoulder) received a cortisone shot Monday and will be shut down from throwing for a few days, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

How Garcia feels in the coming days will determine when he'll resume throwing, and until then, there won't be much information on a timeline for return. He was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder impingement, but he may need more than the minimum amount of time to move past the injury.

Fry (elbow) will continue his rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Fry has appeared in six games during his current rehab stint, with three coming in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and the other three coming with Double-A Akron. Despite hitting a combined 1-for-17 in those games, Fry will advance to Columbus. Last season, Fry appeared in over 15 games at designated hitter, catcher, first base and left field while also picking up a few starts at third base and right field. He'll be limited exclusively to DH once he's activated from the 60-day injured list, as he's not expected to be able to play the field at any point in 2025 after undergoing a UCL revision surgery on his throwing elbow last November.

Snider recorded two outs in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Astros. He allowed one walk and struck out one.

A steady campaign continues for Snider, who's now registered at least one punchout in each of his last eight appearances. The 29-year-old right-hander has turned in seven scoreless outings among his last 10 games, during which he owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB covering 10.2 innings. Snider has four holds to zero save opportunities this season, so he's set to continue serving as a setup man for lights-out closer Andres Munoz in the future.

Mullins isn't part of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Mullins will yield to Dylan Carlson in center field Monday for the start of a three-game set against St. Louis. Mullins is 12-for-50 (.240) with three home runs, two stolen bases and a 31.5 percent K rate in his last 13 appearances.

Rutschman (head) isn't part of the Orioles' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Rutschman was removed from Sunday's game shortly after taking a foul tip to his catcher's mask in the third inning. It's still unknown if he is in concussion protocol, but interim manager Tony Mansolino called Rutschman's exit precautionary. Maverick Handley will catch and bat ninth in place of Rutschman.
