Stowers is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Phillies.

Miami will give Stowers a rare rest from the lineup Tuesday after he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Monday. After a career year in 2025, the 28-year-old has slashed just .211/.297/.362 with five homers in 210 plate appearances this season. Connor Norby will replace Stowers at first base and bat ninth in Tuesday's lineup.

The Astros optioned Price to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.

After a less-than-two-week stint with the big-league club, Price will make his way back down to Sugar Land. In just 13 plate-appearances, the catcher batted .167/.231/.250 with no homers or RBI. Hunter Brown will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list and will replace Price on the active roster.

The Astros activated Diaz (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Diaz has been sidelined since early May while dealing with a left oblique strain, but he's been cleared to return to the active roster after playing three rehab games with Triple-A Sugar Land. The 27-year-old slashed just .235/.255/.347 with two home runs across 106 plate appearances before getting hurt. Diaz should operate as the Astros' primary catcher moving forward, but Christian Vazquez will also be in the mix.

Brown (shoulder) has been reinstated from the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

After completing four rehab assignments and building up to 78 pitches in one start, Brown is back with the big-league club for the first time since being placed on the injured list April 5. Prior to that, the 27-year-old had made just two starts, during which he racked up 17 strikeouts. Houston will get a much-needed addition and boost to its starting rotation, which has been marred by injuries all season long. Collin Price was optioned to Triple-A in order to make room for Brown on the active roster. Brown will be Tuesday's starter against Detroit.

Gimenez (wrist) will return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener against Boston.

After being scratched for the series finale against the Yankees on Sunday, Gimenez is back at shortstop, batting eighth in Tuesday's lineup. The 27-year-old has slashed just .222/.269/.351 in 243 plate appearances this season. Ernie Clement will slide back over to second base after replacing Gimenez at shortstop on Sunday.

Culpepper was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday with a left hip strain, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

Culpepper had seemed close to getting a promotion to the big leagues, but that will have to wait now that he's been shelved. The 23-year-old has put up a .273/.377/.498 batting line with 14 home runs and 15 steals over 61 games with St. Paul this season.

Guerrero (back) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

After missing the final two games of the most recent series against the Yankees with back tightness, Guerrero is back at first base and batting third in the order. The 27-year-old slugger has struggled with hitting the long ball, as he has yet to hit one over the fence since May 17. Guerrero has slashed .280/.372/.366 in 288 plate appearances on the campaign.

The Brewers recalled Pratt from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Word broke Sunday that Pratt was on his way to the big leagues, and his promotion is now official. The 21-year-old's .241/.349/.386 batting line at Nashville is underwhelming, but he's hit .281 with four home runs and six stolen bases over his last 25 games. Pratt is expected to take over as the Brewers' primary shortstop, leaving David Hamilton and Joey Ortiz to cover third base. He is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday against the Guardians in his major-league debut.

Baldwin (oblique) is back in the starting lineup and batting leadoff for Tuesday's matchup against the Giants.

Baldwin has not been in action since he was placed on the injured list May 19 and will make his return in Tuesday's series opener. Before landing on the injured list, the 25-year-old slashed .303/.389/.543 with 13 homers and 38 RBI. Atlanta's catching depth is already razor thin with Sean Murphy on the 60-day IL, so Baldwin props up the roster in that regard.

Wells (head) has been sent to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to begin a rehab assignment.

Wells is ready to participate in games again after going on the 10-day injured list earlier this month with cervical headaches. He's eligible for activation now and hasn't missed much time, so Wells' rehab assignment should be brief.
