    • Should resume rehab assignment soon
      Rays manager Kevin Cash said Tuesday that Lowe (oblique) will rejoin the team in Tampa Bay and will resume swinging the bat before heading back out on a minor-league rehab assignment in short order, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Cash's comments came after Lowe was pulled off his assignment with Durham when he experienced renewed soreness in his right oblique during his fourth rehab game Sunday. Lowe visited a spine surgeon Tuesday for further consultation on his injury, with Cash noting that further imaging showed the second baseman was "heading in the right direction" with his recovery. Cash said that Lowe may still have to manage some pain moving forward, but the 29-year-old at least appears to have steered clear of a major setback. If he's able to return to Durham and resume playing in games by this weekend, Lowe could be ready to come off the 10-day injured list at some point next week. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago

    • Riley Greene sits, Kerry Carpenter starts vs. LHP
      Riley Greene is getting a scheduled day off Wednesday, with Kerry Carpenter starting in right field against a lefty.

      Advice: It’s the first time all season that Carpenter has been in the lineup against a southpaw and only the second time Greene has been rested. As great as Greene has been against righties this season, he’s hitting a mere .189/.268/.378 against southpaws, Rotoworld Today, 7:30 am

    • Remains out Wednesday
      Turner (illness) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Baltimore.

      Advice: Turner is one of a few Blue Jays players who have been under the weather of late, but he's the only one who will remain on the bench Wednesday. The Blue Jays are off Thursday, so Turner will aim to be back in the lineup Friday versus the Rays. Daniel Vogelbach will step in for Turner on Wednesday as Toronto's designated hitter.

    • Getting Wednesday off
      Greene is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

      Advice: Greene has started each of the Tigers' last 22 games and appears to be getting a breather as Detroit wraps up its series against the Marlins with a day game. Matt Vierling will pick up a start in left field in place of Greene, who hit .135/.200/.243 with 13 strikeouts over his last nine starts. Rotowire.com Today, 7:06 am

    • Mitch Garver day-to-day with back spasms
      Mitch Garver is day-to-day with upper back spasms.

      Advice: Mariners manager Scott Servais told reporters late Tuesday that Garver was scratched shortly before first pitch out of an abundance of caution since they were already shorthanded with Jorge Polanco (hamstring) on the bench. It doesn’t sound like a major concern moving forward, but given Garver’s struggles, it wouldn’t be a total shock to see him head to the injured list for a bit of an extended mental reset.

    • Battling back spasms
      Garver was scratched from Seattle's lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against Kansas City due to upper-back spasms, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The 33-year-old backstop missed a few games in March due to back spasms, though manager Scott Servais said Garver's current injury is unrelated to his previous issue. No timeline was given for his return, but it's possible the M's hold him out for a game or two in order to allow him to properly recover. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:35 pm
