Hill tossed one inning, allowing no runs on two walks, in the 4-2 win over the Rangers on Monday.

Hill has been very reliable out of the Yankees bullpen this year, allowing only two runs and accumulating four holds in 12 appearances. The left-hander does not throw a lot of strikeouts, but he produces a lot of groundball outs. The 36-year-old has pitched in several high-leverage situations this season due to the Yankees' lack of options after they let Devin Williams and Luke Weaver sign elsewhere this offseason.

Wilcox threw 1.1 innings and gave up one run on three hits and two walks with one strikeout Monday in the 11-4 loss to the Twins.

Wilcox has now surrendered at least one run in his last four appearances on the mound. The right-hander has been used to pitch multiple innings in five out of his nine appearances this year in more low-leverage situations.

Gimenez (undisclosed) is starting at shortstop and batting ninth Tuesday against the Red Sox.

The 27-year-old has been "banged up" and sat out the past two games but is ready to rejoin the lineup Tuesday versus Boston. Gimenez has enjoyed a hot start to the season with three homers, four steals and a .287/.313/.468 slash line in 100 plate appearances.

Pena (hamstring) began taking at-bats in live batting practice Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Pena was cleared to begin running last week, and he appears to be making strides in his recovery from a right hamstring strain now that he's received the green light to face live pitching. Manager Joe Espada added that the 28-year-old infielder is close to beginning a rehab assignment in the minor leagues, though he remains without a firm return timeline.

Realmuto (back) took batting practice on the field and did agility in the outfield Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Realmuto is eligible to return Saturday and it appears that he is trending toward a return then. The catcher landed on the 10-day injured list April 22 due to back spasms after initially tweaking his back the prior week.

The Phillies optioned Hoffman to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

The right-hander was called up by the Phillies on Thursday and will head back to Triple-A after firing 1.1 scoreless frames in his lone appearance. That strong showing combined with Hoffman's 2.35 ERA across seven outings for Lehigh Valley this season -- assuming he maintains that form -- should help him to get another look in the majors later this year.

Steele (elbow) suffered a setback in his rehab program and was shut down from throwing Tuesday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

The specifics of the setback aren't yet clear, but any shutdown of more than a few days would likely remove any hope for a return from the 60-day injured list in late May when Steele is first eligible. The left-hander is working his way back from the UCL revision surgery he underwent last April, and his return timeline is now murky.

Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said Tuesday that Schwellenbach (elbow) has yet to begin a throwing program and will not make his season debut until after the All-Star break, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

Schwellenbach underwent surgery in February to remove bone spurs from his right elbow. The right-hander is making good progress, per Weiss, but there's no word yet on when he will be cleared for throwing. Schwellenbach was also sidelined for the final three months of the 2025 campaign with a small fracture in his elbow, so the club is proceeding extra cautiously with the hurler's rehab.

Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said Tuesday that Waldrep (elbow) will throw a bullpen session in about a week and could be ready to rejoin the team in June, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

Any timetable is approximate, as Waldrep has multiple boxes he needs to check. The young right-hander is working his way back from an arthroscopic procedure Feb. 23 to remove loose bodies from his pitching elbow. Waldrep is currently on the 15-day injured list but could shift to the 60-day IL if Atlanta needs the 40-man roster spot, as he will not be ready to return within the 60-day window.

The A's recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old will get his first chance in the big leagues this season as Max Muncy (hand) lands on the injured list. Harris had a .274/.349/.342 slash line in 32 MLB games last season and isn't likely to fill a significant role while up with the Athletics.
