Dominguez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Rangers.

Dominguez had started each of the previous five contests but will get a night off Tuesday as the Yankees continue to juggle their outfield and designated hitter mix. Cody Bellinger is covering left field and Ben Rice will be the DH.

The Astros transferred Wesneski (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The right-hander is undergoing Tommy John surgery this week, so the move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural. Wesneski will be sidelined for the rest of 2025 and at least the first half of the 2026 campaign.

The Astros optioned Gordon to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Gordon is being sent out to make room on the roster for Brandon Walter, who will start Tuesday in Tampa Bay. The left-handed Gordon has permitted six runs with a 10:2 K:BB over 9.2 frames in two starts for the Astros.

The Orioles optioned Strowd to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

He's exiting the roster to make room for Chayce McDermott, who has been recalled to serve as the team's primary pitcher in Tuesday's game against the Brewers. Strowd made one appearance during his brief time in the majors, allowing one run over an inning of work.

The Orioles recalled McDermott from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

McDermott will be utilized as the team's bulk reliever Tuesday in Milwaukee, following opener Keegan Akin. The right-handed McDermott permitted four runs while striking out five over three innings of work in a spot start last week versus the Twins.

The Guardians announced Tuesday that Bazzana has been diagnosed with a right internal oblique strain and is expected to be out for 8-to-10 weeks.

Bazzana suffered the injury on a swing during a game with Double-A Akron last Wednesday. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Bazzana has slashed .252/.362/.433 with four home runs and eight stolen bases over 33 contests with Akron this season. The injury won't help Bazzana's chances of reaching the majors later this season.

Cowser (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Aberdeen on Wednesday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Cowser is finally ready to play some rehab games after fracturing his left thumb back in late March. The 25-year-old is on the 60-day injured list and not eligible for activation until May 30, but he would seem to have a good shot to return to the Orioles' outfield that day if his rehab assignment goes off without setbacks.

Lawrence is expected to be called up from Triple-A Tacoma to serve as a bulk reliever in Tuesday's game versus the White Sox, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Lawrence is already in Chicago on the taxi squad and will be officially added to the roster before game time. The veteran swingman has made five relief appearances between the Mariners and Blue Jays this season, allowing 14 runs (seven earned) with a 5:1 K:BB across 12.2 frames.

Legumino will serve as the Mariners' opening pitcher in Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

He'll likely go an inning or two before handing things off to bulk reliever Casey Lawrence. Legumina has managed a 1.84 ERA in 15 relief appearances for the Mariners this season, although that has come with eight walks over 14.2 innings.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said on MLB Network Radio that Meadows (arm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Meadows has been ramping up his throwing lately as he works his way back from a nerve issue in his right arm, and he has been cleared to test things out in a game setting. The young outfielder didn't have a spring training, so the Tigers are likely to give him ample time on a rehab assignment to get sharp.
