Manager Kurt Suzuki said Tuesday that Joyce (shoulder) has resumed his throwing program in Arizona, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Joyce, a long-time closer of the future for the Angels, remains without a set timetable to return after suffering a setback with his surgically repaired right shoulder a couple weeks ago. He is apparently making progress, though the build-up process will likely be slow and deliberate given his injury history. Following the recent setback, the Angels transferred Joyce to the 60-day injured list.

Walls was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles due to left hamstring tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays are viewing Walls as day-to-day, so although he won't be able to start Tuesday's contest, he doesn't seem to be at risk of missing extended time. Oliver Dunn will enter the starting nine to cover for Walls at shortstop.

Meyers isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Meyers will get a break after going 0-for-5 with a run scored during Monday's contest. While he rests, Taylor Trammell, Brice Matthews and Cam Smith will form the Astros' outfield trio.

Dezenzo isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Dezenzo will get a breather Tuesday after going 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored during Houston's win in Monday's series opener. Taylor Trammell starts in left field, batting fifth.

Vazquez isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Vazquez will take a seat Tuesday after going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored during Monday's series opener. Cesar Salazar will fill in behind the plate and bat ninth.

Rivero is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Detroit.

Rivero had started behind the plate in three of the Angels' last four games, but he'll move to the bench with top backstop Logan O'Hoppe (head) back in action after overcoming a minor injury. So long as O'Hoppe is healthy, the 27-year-old Rivero likely won't see more than a start or two per week while he's maintained a lowly .118/.167/.118 slash line since being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on April 26.

Mayo (back) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Though he'll miss out on a fourth consecutive start Tuesday, Mayo said that his sore back feels much better after he went through a pregame workout and anticipates being able to play off the bench, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com. Blaze Alexander will cover third base Tuesday, but Mayo could return to the starting nine at the hot corner in Wednesday's series finale.

Single-A Kannapolis placed Carlson on its 7-day injured list Tuesday after the infielder was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture of the tip of his left thumb, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Carlson sustained the injury Saturday and is expected to require 4-to-6 weeks of recovery time. His thumb will be placed in a splint initially while he waits for the fracture to heal. The No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, the 19-year-old Carlson has slashed .257/.386/.340 with no home runs, eight stolen bases and a 27:45 BB:K over his first 39 pro games.

Hoskins is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

Hoskins will head to the bench after he had started in each of the last six games, going a collective 4-for-20 with a home run, two doubles, a walk and two RBI during that stretch. Though he should remain a mainstay in the Cleveland lineup against left-handed pitching, Hoskins is still expected to play second fiddle to Kyle Manzardo at first base versus righties.

The Astros activated Trammell (groin) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Trammell was shelved for more than a month with a left groin strain but has been cleared to return after going 4-for-16 with a pair of home runs across four rehab games. With Zach Cole back in the minors and Joey Loperfido (quad/foot) having recently suffered a setback, the left-handed-swinging Trammell could see playing time versus right-handed pitching. He'll slot into the starting nine right away in Tuesday's game against the Rangers, occupying left field and batting fifth.
