Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Stellar in 18th win
Skubal (18-4) earned the win Tuesday over Tampa Bay, allowing two hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

Athletics' Esteury Ruiz: Undergoes knee surgery
Ruiz (wrist) underwent right knee arthroscopic surgery Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
A patella tendon debridement and a chondroplasty procedure were performed on the knee. Ruiz -- who had already been ruled out for the season with a left wrist strain -- will rehab this offseason in hopes of being ready in time for spring training. The 25-year-old played 29 games for the Athletics this season, producing a .652 OPS with two homers and five steals.

Red Sox's Tyler O'Neill: Not in Tuesday's lineup
O'Neill is absent from the lineup in Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
O'Neill returned to the lineup Monday at designated hitter after missing both ends of Sunday's doubleheader with a back issue. It's not clear whether it's his back that's keeping him out of Tuesday's lineup. Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu will be in the corner outfield spots for the Red Sox.

Yankees' Jasson Dominguez: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Dominguez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
Dominguez started the previous two games and went 2-for-8 with a two-run homer and a stolen base, but he'll sit for Tuesday's series opener versus Baltimore. Alex Verdugo will take over in left field and bat ninth.

Tayler Scott RP | HOU
Astros' Tayler Scott: Plays catch Tuesday
Scott (back) played catch in the outfield at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Scott just landed on the 15-day injured list over the weekend with a thoracic spine strain, so it's a good sign that he's already throwing again. He will not be eligible to return before the end of the regular season, but the Astros are hoping to have him available as an option at some point during the playoffs.
