O'Hoppe is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

O'Hoppe is getting a breather Tuesday after going 1-for-4 with two RBI in the series opener Monday. As he sits, Sebastian Rivero starts behind the dish, batting ninth.

Ragans (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Wednesday will mark the first time that Ragans has thrown off a mound since he suffered a setback in late May during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Omaha. He remains without a clear return timeline, but that may change after a few sessions of mound work.

The Pirates traded Fulmer to the Mariners on Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Fulmer has spent the entire season at Triple-A Indianapolis, posting a 6.35 ERA and 1.65 WHIP alongside a 27:15 K:BB across 34 innings. The 32-year-old's performance is unlikely to improve significantly now that he'll be moving into the Pacific Coast League, but he'll still provide some organizational bullpen depth at Triple-A Tacoma.

Schanuel (ankle) is starting at first base and batting fifth versus the Astros on Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Schanuel sat out Monday's series opener against the Astros due to lingering left ankle soreness that stemmed from the left ankle tendinitis he returned from June 6. Trey Mancini started at first in place of Schanuel on Monday, but he's back on the bench Tuesday.

Cruz (hand) was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Cruz hasn't played since Saturday due to a cut on his hand, and although he was originally expected to return to the starting nine Tuesday, the Pirates have decided to instead keep him on the bench for another game. Jake Mangum will fill in as Pittsburgh's center fielder and bat seventh.

Basallo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners due to left wrist pain, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

According to Jake Rill of MLB.com, Basallo has dealt with some discomfort and pain in his left wrist throughout most of his life, and he was diagnosed with a bony growth in the wrist Monday after the issue resurfaced. The 21-year-old should now have better path to treatment and could look for a more permanent solution during the offseason.

The Twins returned Sands (forearm) from his rehab assignment Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Sands made his first rehab appearance at Triple-A St. Paul last Tuesday, but his strained right forearm didn't recover quickly enough to allow him to continue pitching. The Twins will now shut down his rehab assignment and give him more time to rest and receive treatment before restarting a throwing program. He's without a clear timeline for returning from the 15-day injured list.

Manager Stephen Vogt said Sabrowski (elbow) threw a bullpen session Monday that went well, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Sabrowski is set to throw another bullpen in the upcoming days. Afterward, the southpaw's next steps will by decided. With his progress coming along, a rehab assignment may be on the horizon.

The Brewers expect Hall to return from his left pec strain in late July, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Hall was originally expected to return sometime around the All-Star break when he first landed on the IL on Friday, but the team has since determined that he will require a slightly longer recovery. Hall had been enjoying a career year before getting injured, posting a 2.03 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over 31 innings.

Waldrep (elbow) had his rehab assignment transferred to Double-A Columbus, where he will make his next start Thursday, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

The right-hander covered two frames in both of his rehab outings in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, setting the stage for him to move to the upper minors. Those appearances marked Waldrep's first game action since September as he works his way back from an offseason elbow procedure. He'll likely require a couple more minor-league starts after Thursday before making his 2026 debut for Atlanta.
