The Mariners reinstated Milner from the family medical emergency list Tuesday.

Milner was placed on the family medical emergency list Friday. Troy Taylor took Milner's spot on the active roster but was optioned back to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday in a corresponding move.

White (back) will serve as the Athletics' designated hitter and bat sixth Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

White has sat out each of the Athletics' last six games while dealing with lower-back tightness, and after avoiding the injured list, he's been cleared to return to the starting nine. The 23-year-old had been making decent contact before getting injured, going 10-for-36 (.278) with four RBI and four runs scored over his last 10 games.

Seattle optioned Taylor to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Taylor did not appear in a game after being called up Friday, and he will quickly make his return to Tacoma. The 24-year-old owns a 4.99 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 60:35 K:BB over 52.1 innings in Triple-A this season.

Montes (hip) will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth Tuesday against the Rangers.

Montes entered Seattle's last two games off the bench after suffering a hip injury Friday, and he's now feeling well enough to return to the starting nine for Tuesday's series opener. The 21-year-old homered in his MLB debut last Tuesday but has since gone just 1-for-10 with an RBI and six strikeouts in four contests.

Jung (calf) was sent to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

Jung hasn't seen the field since July 21 due to a strained left calf, but he's now ready for game action after recently progressing to facing live pitching. It's not clear how many rehab games the 28-year-old will require before being reinstated, but it's possible he's back with the Rangers this weekend in Arizona.

Weathers (forearm) did some flat-ground throwing from 75 feet Tuesday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

The left-hander said after the throwing session that he feels "really good" as he works his way back from a flexor strain. Weathers is aiming to rejoin the Yankees as a reliever later this month.

The Rays designated Bigge for assignment Tuesday.

The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Nick Madrigal. Bigge has looked like a high-leverage reliever at times but has struggled in 2026, posting a 6.98 ERA and 14:14 K:BB over 19.1 innings with the Rays and a 6.14 ERA and 37:20 K:BB over 29.1 frames with Triple-A Durham. The 28-year-old is under team control for several more years and could drawn interest via waivers.

The Rays selected Madrigal's contract from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

The 29-year-old joined Tampa Bay on a minor-league deal in late June and will now get a look with the big club. Madrigal posted a .273/.385/.295 slash line in 52 plate appearances for the Angels earlier this season and was hitting well for Durham with an .818 OPS in 47 contests. He'll provide infield depth to help cover the loss of Taylor Walls (hip), who was placed on the injured list Tuesday.

The Rays placed Walls on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right hip flexor strain, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Walls didn't play in his team's last game Sunday, so it seems he's been dealing with the injury for a few days. He'll be eligible to return Sept. 18, but it's unclear whether Walls has a chance to be ready on that date. Jorge Mateo will likely handle the bulk of the reps at shortstop while Walls is shelved.

Cruz (elbow) expects to resume a throwing program by the end of this week, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Cruz was diagnosed with a partial tear in his right elbow UCL in late August. It's an injury that sometimes requires surgery and often results in an extended absence, but Cruz is motivated to make it back before the regular season concludes. Being able to accomplish that feat, however, is not a given.
