Corbin didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with no strikeouts in four innings.

Corbin had a rough second inning in his Rangers debut, giving up a leadoff homer to Dansby Swanson and a two-run single to Seiya Suzuki. The veteran left-hander tossed three scoreless innings otherwise, and he was able to throw 74 pitches before his night came to an end. Corbin could have some deep-league streaming appeal at home against the Angels in his next scheduled start, which lines up for early next week.

Langford was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cubs due to right oblique tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Langford was replaced in the field after striking out swinging to end the top of the seventh inning, and he appears to have tweaked the oblique during that at-bat. He's slated to receive an MRI on Wednesday to determine the extent of the damage, per Landry, but Langford said after the game that he isn't too concerned about his latest injury since it doesn't feel as bad as the left oblique strain he suffered during spring training. If Langford ends up missing any amount of time, Josh Smith and Kevin Pillar would be in the running for additional playing time in the outfield. The Rangers could also call up Dustin Harris from Triple-A Round Rock to provide another option who's capable of playing all three outfield spots.

Lopez was removed from his start in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Royals due to right hamstring tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He struck out six and gave up an unearned run on three hits and one walk across 4.2 innings while taking a no-decision.

Lopez walked off the field under his own power after suffering the injury, but the Twins won't know the extent of the issue until he undergoes an MRI on Wednesday. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start against the Tigers over the weekend, but if Lopez is forced to go on the injured list, Zebby Matthews would likely be in line for a call-up from Triple-A St. Paul to replace him in the rotation.

Canha was removed from Tuesday's game against the Twins due to left hip soreness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports

Canha ran into the outfield wall while attempting to catch a flyball in the fifth inning. He remained in the game immediately after the incident but was replaced on defense when the Royals took the field in the top of the sixth. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but fantasy managers can consider him day-to-day for the time being.

Lopez left his start Tuesday against Kansas City in the fifth inning due to an apparent right leg injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

After he was visited on the mound by a trainer, Lopez was able to walk off the field under his own power. Lopez was pitching well before exiting, allowing just one unearned run on three hits and one walk while striking out six over 4.2 innings. The Twins will likely provide an update on his status after the game.

The Astros recalled Sousa from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.

Sousa won't be available for Tuesday's game against Seattle, but he's in line to join Houston's bullpen to replace Rafael Montero, who was traded to Atlanta. Sousa missed all of last season due to thoracic outlet surgery but has looked good in four Triple-A outings this season, allowing two hits and no walks while striking out five batters across five shutout frames.

Mountcastle isn't in the lineup Tuesday against Arizona.

Mountcastle will get a chance to catch his breath Tuesday after going 6-for-12 with two RBI and three runs scored across his last three games. Ryan O'Hearn will fill in as the Orioles' first baseman while Adley Rutschman serves as the DH, giving Gary Sanchez a start behind the plate.

The Twins transferred Lee's (back) rehab assignment to Triple-A St. Paul, and he's starting at second base and batting second in Tuesday's game, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The 24-year-old will move his rehab assignment to the highest level of the minors after going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in his one appearance with Single-A Fort Myers. Lee played seven innings defensively in that game and will likely need to play a few full games in the field before being cleared to join the Twins.

Valdez (illness) is starting Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The left-hander was dealing with some fatigue and a sore throat over the weekend, but he's ready to take his regular turn through the rotation Tuesday. Valdez delivered seven scoreless frames in his season debut but surrendered five runs over five innings during his most recent start last Wednesday.

Hendriks (elbow) will likely begin a rehab assignment during the weekend, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Hendriks began throwing bullpen sessions last weekend and will presumably progress to facing hitters during the week. If he's able to get through that without any issues, the Red Sox will send him out to one of their minor-league affiliates for a few rehab outings and could have him back in their bullpen before the end of the month.
