The Mariners optioned Lao to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Lao allowed one unearned run with a 3:0 K:BB over a 1.2-inning relief appearance during his major-league debut Tuesday against the Red Sox. He's being replaced by a fresh bullpen arm, with Casey Lawrence absorbing his spot on the roster.

Mastrobuoni is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Mastrobuoni had started in each of the Mariners' last four matchups versus right-handed pitching, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday while the Red Sox send southpaw Sean Newcomb to the bump. The Mariners will likely continue to deploy Mastrobuoni in a timeshare at third base with Ben Williamson until Jorge Polanco is cleared to play the field again while he manages a side injury.

The Mariners selected Lawrence's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Lawrence was just outrighted off the 40-man roster Tuesday but is back again to provide length in the bullpen. The veteran right-hander has permitted two earned runs with a 1:1 K:BB over five frames in the majors this season.

Tellez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Lefty Sean Newcomb will be on the bump for Boston, so the lefty-hitting Tellez will retreat to the bench Wednesday. Donovan Solano will start at first base in place of Tellez.

Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

Narvaez will get a breather after he started in nine of Boston's last 10 games. Blake Sabol will handle the catching duties Wednesday in Narvaez's stead.

Bleis (quadricep) is slashing .161/.257/.387 with two home runs, two stolen bases and 10 RBI in eight games since making his season debut for High-A Greenville on April 9.

Though Greenville never officially placed Bleis on the injured list, the 21-year-old outfielder didn't play in any of the team's first four games while he tended to a minor quad injury. Since being cleared to make his 2025 debut, Bleis has performed at a below-league-average level (81 wRC+) while striking out at a 34.3 percent clip.

Massey is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Rockies.

Massey has been one of the worst-hitting regulars in baseball this season and has been particularly brutal over the last two weeks, going 5-for-39 with a 10:1 K:BB across his last 41 plate appearances. Cavan Biggio is handling second base for the Royals on Wednesday.

India is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.

India is in a 6-for-46 slide at the plate to drop his season batting line to .195/.298/.244. Maikel Garcia is at third base and Cavan Biggio is at second base for the Royals on Wednesday as India gets a day to regroup.

Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

The Orioles are deploying Jordan Westburg as their designated hitter Wednesday while he gets eased back into the lineup following a recent upper-body injury, and with Ryan O'Hearn picking up the start at first base, the team won't have a spot available for Mountcastle. The move to the bench comes after Mountcastle went 5-for-33 with a 1:9 BB:K over his last 10 games.

Teodo was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Round Rock due to right shoulder fatigue, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Teodo will be shut down for 7-to-10 days before resuming a throwing program. The hard-throwing right-hander has struggled this season with Round Rock as he makes a full-time move to the bullpen, posting an 8.68 ERA and 13:8 K:BB over 9.1 innings.
