Austin Wynns C | TEX
Rangers' Austin Wynns: Contract selected
The Rangers selected Wynns' contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
With Kyle Higashioka (forearm) landing on the injured list Tuesday, the Rangers will turn to Wynns to bolster their depth behind the plate. The 35-year-old backstop has just four hits in 53 big-league at-bats this season, but he's slashed .289/.413/.474 at Triple-A since signing a minor-league deal with Texas in late June. He'll presumably serve as the backup to Elias Diaz while Higashioka and Danny Jansen (forearm) are on the shelf.

Rangers' Kyle Higashioka: Placed on injured list
The Rangers placed Higashioka on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right flexor strain, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Higashioka has posted an .813 OPS in 30 trips to the plate since the beginning of July, but his injury will keep him on the sidelines until at least the end of the month. Austin Wynns was selected to the active roster to replenish Texas' catcher depth.

Marco Gonzales RP | TEX
Rangers' Marco Gonzales: Joins big-league bullpen
The Rangers selected Gonzales' contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Gonzales joined the Rangers on a minor-league pact in late June and has since allowed 16 earned runs in just 16.2 innings over three starts. Despite his poor performance, the 34-year-old will return to the majors for the first time in two seasons and join the Rangers' bullpen as a long reliever, replacing the injured Jose Corniell (elbow).

J.P. Crawford SS | SEA
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Still out of lineup Tuesday
Crawford (wrist) is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Reds.
Crawford was scratched from Monday's lineup due to a sore left wrist. With the condition of his wrist still in question, he's remaining out Tuesday as Colt Emerson gets the start at shortstop while Weston Wilson starts at third base.

Jose Corniell RP | TEX
Rangers' Jose Corniell: Placed on IL
The Rangers placed Corniell on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with an elbow injury, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Corniell gave up five earned runs in just one inning out of the bullpen during Monday's game against the White Sox, and he'll now have to remain on the sidelines until at least Aug. 5 due to his latest injury. The severity of his injury remains unknown, though it's worth noting that the 23-year-old righty underwent Tommy John surgery back in 2024. Marco Gonzales was promoted from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Julio Rodriguez CF | SEA
Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Remains day-to-day
Rodriguez (leg) is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Reds.
Rodriguez was pulled from Monday's game against the Reds after getting hit by a throw from shortstop. He was pulled from the game, though manager Dan Wilson was not too concerned about the star's health. The Mariners have a day off Thursday as they travel to Texas, which could factor into the equation here. Victor Robles starts in center field Tuesday, batting seventh.

Kerry Carpenter RF | DET
Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Carpenter (heel) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.
Carpenter has recently been playing through a bruised heel and was pulled from Monday's series opener due to the injury. He'll miss at least one start, though the 28-year-old may not have been in the lineup regardless of the injury since lefty David Peterson is pitching Tuesday for Chicago. Dillon Dingler will serve as the designated hitter while Jake Rogers works behind the plate.

Ranger Suarez SP | BOS
Red Sox's Ranger Suarez: Could pitch Wednesday
Interim Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said that Suarez (groin) is in the mix to return from the 15-day injured list to start Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
The left-hander was scheduled to come off the injured list to start Tuesday's contest, but Eduardo Rivera was instead named the starter for that game before it was ultimately postponed due to inclement weather. Suarez is apparently experiencing some soreness after recently testing out his groin and is also feeling a bit under the weather, which prompted Boston to move back his return. Even if Suarez doesn't end up taking the mound in Wednesday's nightcap, he could still be back in the Red Sox's rotation later this week.

Eduardo Rivera SP | BOS
Red Sox's Eduardo Rivera: Game postponed Tuesday
Rivera won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Orioles since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Ranger Suarez (groin) was initially poised to come off the injured list to start Tuesday, but the Red Sox then announced Rivera as their starting pitcher before the game was ultimately postponed. The rookie left-hander could pitch in Wednesday's doubleheader, but Suarez also remains in the mix to start the nightcap.
