Larnach is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Orioles.

The left-handed-hitting Larnach plays against most lefties, but he will grab a seat in this one as the Orioles send southpaw Cade Povich to the bump. Willi Castro is in right field and Royce Lewis is at designated hitter for the Twins.

Lewis will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

It's the season debut for Lewis, who was shelved for nearly six weeks with a strained left hamstring. Lewis is likely to play third base primarily, but he's in the DH spot Tuesday and could be there on occasion as the Twins ease him back into action. Jonah Bride is playing third base for the Twins in the series opener.

The Mariners optioned Taylor to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old had his contract selected from Tacoma last Tuesday, and he went 1-for-8 with a run in four games during his week in the majors. Taylor is returning to Triple-A since Dylan Moore (hip) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

The Yankees recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

De Los Santos spun two scoreless innings in his lone appearance with the Yankees last month. The right-hander will provide manager Aaron Boone with a fresh bullpen arm.

The Yankees designated Carrasco for assignment Tuesday.

Carrasco made the Yankees' Opening Day rotation as a non-roster invitee, but he went on to post a 5.91 ERA with just 25 strikeouts over 32 innings covering six starts and two relief appearances. There's a good chance Carrasco clears waivers, and if he does, he will have the ability to elect free agency.

The Mariners activated Moore (hip) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Moore skipped a rehab assignment and will go directly back onto the active roster following a minimum stay on the IL. He will be in the Mariners' lineup most days in a super-utility role.

Noel is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

The 23-year-old was poised to sit for Monday's contest before it was postponed, and he'll remain on the bench Tuesday for the make-up game. It's his second straight game on the bench after starting five of the previous six contests. Noel is in the midst of a 4-for-31 slump, and he's struck out 13 times during that stretch.

Moncada (thumb) has gone 0-for-5 with a 2:4 K:BB in 10 plate appearances in his first two rehab games with Single-A Inland Empire.

Moncada is nearly a month removed from landing on the 10-day injured list with a right thumb sprain that he first suffered back in mid-March. It's not clear how many rehab games he'll need, nor is Moncada guaranteed to get his third-base job back when he returns. He posted a .656 OPS in eight tilts before going on the IL.

Walcott is slashing .245/.363/.372 with two home runs, six steals, a 14.2 percent walk rate and a 21.2 percent strikeout rate in 25 games for Double-A Frisco.

Even though he played five games at Double-A at the end of last year, Walcott, who turned 19 in March, is the second-youngest player at Double-A (behind Ethan Salas), and he's two years younger than the youngest pitcher at the level. He has plus-plus raw power, but Walcott has been making too much weak contact early on (34.5 IFFB%, 31.7 Soft%) as he gets adjusted to this challenging step up in competition. Walcott has yet to play a position in the field other than shortstop in 2025.

The Guardians recalled Kent from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

He'll be the club's 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Nationals. Kent made his major-league debut with the Guardians last month, allowing one run over a three-inning relief appearance. He's likely to be returned to Columbus following the twin bill.
