Canzone (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Canzone will miss at least one start after departing Sunday's game against the Red Sox due to a hamstring injury. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but the 28-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more information is available. Randy Arozarena (hamstring) is serving as the DH in his return from the injured list.

Burger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Burger started the previous 11 contests and will receive a day off after batting .289 (11-for-38) with two doubles and two homers during that span. Joc Pederson will receive a rare start at first base while Brandon Nimmo rests his legs as the designated hitter Tuesday.

The Rangers signed Wynns to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

The 35-year-old Wynns is a career .228/.273/.342 hitter covering parts of eight major-league seasons. He will give the Rangers some experienced catching depth at Triple-A Round Rock.

The Rays designated Keegan for assignment Tuesday.

Keegan has been removed from the 40-man roster to make space for Chris Roycroft, who was acquired via trade. Keegan has hit .191/.327/.303 with six home runs in 51 games at Triple-A Durham this season. The catcher could pass through waivers and remain in the organization.

The Rays acquired Roycroft from the Cardinals on Tuesday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

Roycroft has posted a 6.41 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 52:37 K:BB over 60.1 innings at the major-league level and had been designated for assignment last week. The 6-foot-8 righty's sinker rates well in terms of Stuff+, and it would not be a surprise if the Rays are able to coax more out of him. Roycroft will report to Triple-A Durham for now.

Collins is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Collins will receive a routine day of rest after starting each of the Royals' previous five tilts. Kameron Misner is covering left field and will bat ninth Tuesday.

Witt (knee) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

Witt went through a full pregame workout Monday, and the Royals remain optimistic he can avoid the injured list, but he will miss a fourth straight start with a Grade 1 MCL sprain in his right knee. According to Brian Murphy of MLB.com, manager Matt Quatraro expects Witt to be available off the bench Tuesday. Tyler Tolbert is starting at shortstop for Kansas City on Tuesday.

Knizner agreed to a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

After failing to crack the Mariners' Opening Day roster this spring, Knizner joined the Rockies on a minor-league deal and had a .961 OPS with 10 homers in 33 games with Triple-A Albuquerque before being released last week. The 31-year-old doesn't have a clear path to joining the big-league club since Boston already has three catchers on the 26-man roster.

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

The 33-year-old joined the big-league club in mid-June after Randy Arozarena (hamstring) landed on the injured list, and Joe will be demoted Tuesday with Arozarena rejoining the active roster. Across his two stints in the majors this season, Joe has a .179/.289/.308 slash line with a homer and two steals in 21 games.

The Mariners reinstated Arozarena (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

The veteran outfielder has been sidelined due to a left hamstring strain but is ready to rejoin the Mariners after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Arozarena had a hot start to June prior to the injury, posting a .300/.404/.425 slash line with two doubles, a homer, four steals, seven RBI, seven runs and a 5:8 BB:K through his first 11 games of the month.
