MLB Player News

Verlander (hip) will return from the injured list to start Sunday's game against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Verlander threw 66 pitches in a four-inning sim game Monday without any problems, so the Tigers will allow him to return from the IL over the weekend and make his first start since March 30. The 43-year-old posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 10.2 frames during his rehab assignment at Triple-A, but he was lit up for five earned runs in just 3.2 innings during his lone MLB outing this season and is set to return against a White Sox offense that's posted a .777 OPS since the beginning of June.

Raley is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

The Mariners often hold the left-handed-hitting Raley out of the lineup against southpaws, but he'll take a seat Tuesday with right-hander Brandon Young on the bump for Baltimore. Victor Robles will pick up a start in left field in place of Raley, who has gone just 2-for-21 at the dish over his last six games to bring his average down to .241 for the season.

Arozarena (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Although Arozarena is set to miss a third straight start due to left hamstring soreness, general manager Justin Hollander said the 31-year-old could be available off the bench Tuesday and is likely to return to the starting nine Wednesday. In the meantime, Victor Robles, Julio Rodriguez and Dominic Canzone will form Seattle's outfield trio.

Naylor (shin/wrist) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

X-rays on Naylor's right shin came back negative following his early exit from Sunday's game against Washington. However, the Mariners will keep him out of action Tuesday, especially now that he is reportedly also dealing with a sore wrist. Miles Mastrobuoni will start at first base in place of Naylor, who appears likely to remain out of the lineup for at least a couple more days, per Jude.

The Padres released Gonzales on Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Gonzales had spent the season with Triple-A El Paso prior to his release Tuesday. There, he had a 7.99 ERA with a 2.03 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB over 47.1 innings across 13 outings. The southpaw had missed the entire 2025 season after undergoing surgery to repair a flexor tendon in his left forearm. His last MLB appearances were in 2024, when he had a 4.54 ERA in seven games for the Pirates.

Munoz (back) will be available to pitch in Tuesday's game against Baltimore, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Munoz made an early exit from Sunday's contest due to back tightness, but he's been given a clean bill of health ahead of Tuesday's contest. The 27-year-old has recorded a team-high 10 saves on the season but hasn't been particularly reliable while doing so, logging a 5.92 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 24.1 innings.

General manager Justin Hollander said Tuesday that Brash was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain in his right lat, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Brash has suffered multiple right lat strains this season, though Hollander noted that his latest injury is in a different spot than the one that kept him out for three weeks in May. He also said that the 28-year-old righty is facing a longer stint on the IL this time around and is likely to return sometime around late July or early August. Until then, Jose Ferrer, Gabe Speier and Eduard Bazardo figure to work more often in high-leverage situations.

Rushing is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rays.

Rushing will get some rest on the bench Tuesday after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Monday's 4-3 series opener win over the Rays. Chuckie Robinson is starting at catcher and batting ninth Tuesday.

Stowers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies

Stowers will hit the bench Tuesday after a run of 23 straight starts, during which he posted a .205/.268/.432 slash line with six doubles, a triple, four homers and 16 RBI. He also struck out at a 36.7 percent clip during that stretch and has been punched out multiple times in four of the past five games. Esteury Ruiz is starting in left field and batting seventh Tuesday versus Philadelphia.

The Dodgers activated Edman (ankle) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Edman is officially ready to go for the Dodgers on Tuesday after not seeing the field since Nov. 1, which was Game 7 of the 2025 World Series. The 31-year-old had surgery on his ankle not long after with hopes of being ready for spring training, but his absence extended far longer. The Dodgers designated Santiago Espinal for assignment in a corresponding move Tuesday. While Edman is back on the active roster, he is not in the lineup Tuesday. Alex Freeland has the start at second and is batting eighth, but he will likely lose playing time as Edman gets eased back in.
