Carpenter tested out his right hamstring with some running in the outfield pregame Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Carpenter was forced to depart Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Rays due to hamstring soreness. It's a good sign that he was able to test out the leg injury with some pregame work, but there's still no word yet on how much time he might miss.

Schultz gave up two hits and struck out eight over 4.1 scoreless innings of relief in Sunday's loss to the Mariners.

Per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com, the eight Ks tied a major-league record for a pitcher making his MLB debut in a relief role, a mark most recently matched by Hayden Wesneski in 2022 with the Cubs. Schultz began a conversion to the bullpen at Triple-A Buffalo last season and was having a good start to the season at that level, posting a 2.08 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB in 8.2 innings over four appearances. With the Blue Jays struggling to fill their fifth starter spot -- Easton Lucas, who took the loss Sunday, has been tagged for five homers and 14 runs in 7.2 innings over his last two starts -- Schultz made a strong case in his debut to stick around as a long reliever, and potentially even get a look as a primary pitcher working behind an opener.

Beeter (shoulder) struck out all four batters he faced in his first rehab appearance with Single-A Tampa on Sunday.

It was a good start for Beeter, who should move up to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre eventually before being activated from the 15-day injured list. Beeter did not make any spring training appearances, so it could be a relatively lengthy rehab assignment.

The Yankees recalled Vivas from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

He's taking the roster spot vacated by Trent Grisham, who was placed on the paternity leave list. Vivas will likely stick around only until Grisham returns later this week.

The Yankees placed Grisham on the paternity leave list Monday.

Grisham will miss at least one game and, in all likelihood, all three contests of his team's series versus the Guardians before rejoining the club for the start of a homestand Friday. Jorbit Vivas is grabbing Grisham's spot on the active roster.

Giolito (hamstring) struck out four and allowed three earned runs on six hits and no walks over five innings in his rehab start Sunday with Double-A Portland.

Giolito has made four rehab starts between stops with Portland and Triple-A Worcester, logging a collective 4.97 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB in 12.2 innings. Though his results on the farm have been unremarkable, Giolito has been able to steadily increase his workload, with his five innings and 65 pitches Sunday both representing new highs. Giolito is expected to require one more tune-up outing in the minors before returning from the 15-day injured list and potentially slotting into the Red Sox rotation as soon as April 30. Since signing with the Red Sox in December 2023, Giolito has yet to make his team debut after missing the entire 2024 season while recovering from an internal brace surgery on his right elbow and then tweaking his left hamstring during spring training.

Montero will start Monday's game against the Padres in Detroit, Jared Ramsey of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Though he was tagged for five earned runs over five innings while taking a loss in his 2025 MLB debut last Wednesday in Milwaukee, Montero will stick around for at least one more start while Detroit temporarily expands its rotation to six men during a stretch of 23 games in 24 days. Montero likely won't be in line for a long-term stay with Detroit, though a stronger showing against the Padres and in any future outings that follow could compel the coaching staff to find a more permanent spot for the right-hander.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed Monday that Bello (shoulder) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to make his season debut Tuesday against the Mariners, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

It's been the target date for Bello for a while and can now be written down in ink. The right-hander posted a 7.07 ERA in four rehab starts but posted a much more encouraging 21:4 K:BB over 14 innings. Bello didn't pitch in any games this spring and had a high pitch count of 71 during his rehab assignment, so his workload will be limited a bit initially.

Palacios is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Boston.

Palacios has been drawing most of the starts in right field against right-handed pitching of late, but he'll take a seat for this one versus Red Sox righty Walker Buehler. Michael Taylor is in right field and batting eighth for the White Sox.

The White Sox selected Dalbec's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Dalbec, 29, has slashed .326/.354/.696 with four home runs this season with Charlotte to earn a promotion to the big club. He could see some action at designated hitter for Chicago and is capable of handling all four corner spots defensively.
