  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Giants' Willy Adames: Remains out of action Tuesday

    Adames (back) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland.

    Adames has not played since injuring his back last Wednesday. The veteran shortstop has been cleared for full baseball activities, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, but will miss a fourth consecutive start Tuesday. Christian Koss will again fill in at shortstop for Adames.

  • Chase DeLauter RF | CLE

    Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Held out of Tuesday's lineup

    DeLauter (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Giants.

    DeLauter was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Padres with left hamstring tightness, and the team off day Monday wasn't enough to get him over the hump. The good news is that an MRI came back clean, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com, and DeLauter is feeling better Tuesday. Angel Martinez, Steven Kwan and Jo Adell will be in the outfield and Travis Bazzana will serve as the Guardians' designated hitter Tuesday.

  • Isaac Mattson RP | PIT

    Pirates' Isaac Mattson: Sent to Indianapolis

    The Pirates optioned Mattson to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.

    Mattson was needed for two innings and 41 pitches in Monday's loss to the Tigers, so he wasn't going to be available for a day or two. Antwone Kelly will absorb Mattson's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

  • Antwone Kelly RP | PIT

    Pirates' Antwone Kelly: Rejoins big club

    The Pirates recalled Kelly from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

    It's the fourth stint in the majors this season for Kelly, with his three prior stays all lasting two days or fewer. The right-hander has struggled in his first three MLB appearances, surrendering five earned runs with a 4:4 K:BB over 7.1 innings.

  • Austin Warren RP | NYM

    Mets' Austin Warren: Back from IL

    The Mets reinstated Warren (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    The right-hander has been sidelined nearly six weeks due to a forearm strain, and he's now ready to rejoin the active roster after an eight-outing rehab assignment. Warren has a 4.63 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 37:18 K:BB across 35 innings (26 appearances) for the Mets this year.

  • Mets' Chayce McDermott: Sent down to Syracuse

    The Mets optioned McDermott to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

    He's clearing off the roster to make room for the return of Austin Warren (forearm) from the injured list. McDermott has made four relief appearances between the Dodgers and Mets this season, allowing four runs with a 4:2 K:BB over 5.2 innings.

  • Sal Frelick RF | MIL

    Brewers' Sal Frelick: Continuing rehab assignment

    Frelick (shoulder) joined the Brewers on Tuesday for a workout and will then continue his minor-league rehab assignment, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

    Frelick is already seven games into his rehab assignment, and Tuesday's workout should help to determine how many more minor-league games he'll need before coming off the injured list. The 26-year-old has just five hits in 22 at-bats in his rehab games thus far, though three of those knocks have gone for extra bases.

  • JoJo Romero RP | MIL

    Brewers' JoJo Romero: Facing hitters Friday

    Romero (abdomen) will throw a live batting practice session Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Romero is slated for a multi-inning bullpen session Tuesday before facing hitters Friday. If things go well during his live BP, Romero will be cleared to begin a rehab assignment. Coming back from an appendectomy, Romero should join the Brewers' bullpen later this month.

  • Abner Uribe RP | MIL

    Brewers' Abner Uribe: Slated for bullpen session

    Uribe (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Uribe just landed on the 15-day injured list this past Friday with a right forearm flexor strain, so it's a good sign that he's already able to throw from a mound. The right-handed reliever is eligible for activation Aug. 26, and he's tracking toward being ready by that time or shortly after.

  • Clarke Schmidt SP | NYY

    Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Preparing for relief role upon return

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Schmidt (elbow) will be preparing to return from the 60-day injured list as a reliever, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. "That can always change as the weeks and month unfolds, just depending," Boone said, regarding Schmidt's potential role. "But that's kind of how we're looking at."

    Since Boone made those comments, the Yankees have placed Max Fried back on the IL with a bone bruise in his elbow, but with Carlos Rodon (elbow) returning from the IL on Tuesday, the team will have a five-man rotation intact. As such, the Yankees' plans for Schmidt may not have changed, but the 30-year-old right-hander will still need to complete his throwing progression and a rehab assignment before being available for the big club in any capacity. Schmidt has been limited to throwing off flat ground since cutting a live batting practice session short Aug. 4 after experiencing some forearm cramping, but Boone expects Schmidt to get back on a mound at some point this week.
