Raleigh is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Athletics on Tuesday.

Raleigh will get his first day off of the season while Mitch Garver starts behind home plate and bats fifth. Raleigh is slashing .240/.359/.574 with four stolen bases, 23 runs scored, 12 home runs and 23 RBI in 153 plate appearances to start the season.

The White Sox outrighted Murfee to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Murfee lost his place on the major-league roster Sunday after turning in a 7.82 ERA over 12.2 innings, and he has now also lost his 40-man spot. He'll stick with the organization as bullpen depth for the Knights, though he'd likely need to show significant improvement to get another shot in Chicago.

Varsho (back) will start in center field and bat sixth against the Angels on Tuesday.

Varsho was a late scratch from the lineup Sunday due to back tightness, but a couple of days off has him ready to return to the starting nine Tuesday. Since returning from the injured list, the 28-year-old has gone 3-for-14 with two homers, three RBI and three runs scored across five games.

Bader is not in the Twins' starting lineup against the Orioles on Tuesday due to an illness, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Bader won't start Tuesday, but Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said the 30-year-old outfielder could be available off the bench. The Twins will go with Willi Castro, Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach as their starting outfield trio against Orioles southpaw Cade Povich.

Young (shoulder) was placed on Triple-A Norfolk's 7-day injured list Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Young is working through right shoulder discomfort, which he experienced following Friday's start against Charlotte. The injury isn't severe enough to warrant an MRI at this point, but he will rest for an extended period of time before embarking on a rehab program. Young is 2-1 across four starts in Triple-A this season with a 2.82 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 22:4 K:BB across 22.1 innings.

Robert is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Robert started the previous 16 games and will receive a day off after posting a .241/.371/.483 slash line with four homers and nine steals during that stretch. Michael Taylor is starting in center field and batting ninth Tuesday in Kansas City.

Benintendi (calf) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

It's the second straight game on the bench for Benintendi after exiting Sunday's matchup with the Astros due to left calf tightness. Brooks Baldwin is receiving the start in left field and batting seventh Tuesday.

O'Neill (neck) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

It was believed that O'Neill could avoid needing a rehab assignment, but he's now set for one as he tries to return from neck soreness. The outfielder was eligible to return from the 10-day injured list May 4. However, he will need two to three appearances in Triple-A before he is ready to return, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. The right-handed batter should be expected to return for the three-game series against the Angels that commences Friday.

The Angels designated Toussaint for assignment Tuesday.

Toussaint made a bullpen appearance for the Angels on Sunday against the Tigers, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three over two innings. The 28-year-old will go on waivers and could be claimed by a team looking to bolster its bullpen depth. Toussaint has a 5.32 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 19:14 K:BB across 22 innings in Triple-A this season.

Adell is not in the Angels' lineup against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Tuesday's game will be the third time Adell is not in the starting lineup over the Angels' last four games going back to May 2. When he did play May 4 against the Tigers, he went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. Without the 26-year-old starting Tuesday, Taylor Ward, Kyren Paris and Gustavo Campero are the Angels' starting outfielders versus Toronto.
