    • Takes no-decision versus Angels
      Scherzer allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits and struck out six without walking a batter over 6.2 innings, taking a no-decision Tuesday versus the Angels.

      Advice: Scherzer allowed a pair of solo home runs to Logan O'Hoppe in the contest. This was Scherzer's second quality start in a row, and he threw 95 pitches (70 strikes). It appears he's clear for a full workload after easing back into action following a lengthy absence due to offseason back surgery as well as thumb and forearm issues. The right-hander is now at a 3.09 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB through 23.1 innings across four starts. The Rangers are off Thursday, so it is likely Scherzer is done for the first half of the campaign, which should afford him some extra rest before Texas hosts the Orioles coming out of the All-Star break.

    • May go on rehab stint after break
      Stanton (hamstring) could begin a minor-league rehab assignment later in July, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: It doesn't appear that Stanton will be ready to rejoin the Yankees immediately after the All-Star break, but he could begin playing in rehab games around that time. The slugger has been running on a treadmill and hitting, though he hasn't yet resumed on-field activities, per MLB.com. It's not yet clear how many rehab games Stanton would be asked to play, but there remains a chance he could be activated off the IL before the start of August. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:14 pm

    • Max Scherzer goes 6 2/3 innings in no-decision
      Max Scherzer yielded four runs — three earned — in 6 2/3 innings Tuesday in a no-decision versus the Angels.

      Advice: Scherzer struck out six with a fine 32% CSW and walked none in his longest start of the year to date. Unfortunately, it needed to be one out longer for him to get the win, as the Rangers only went ahead for good in the top of the eighth. The Rangers are off Thursday, so unless something changes, Scherzer won’t pitch again until after the break. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:41 pm
       
    • Removed with groin injury
      Peralta was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mariners due to an apparent groin injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Peralta winced and grabbed at his groin immediately after making a pitch in the ninth inning of Tuesday's contest, resulting in him exiting alongside a trainer. He'll presumably undergo imaging in the Padres' clubhouse to determine the nature/severity of his injury, and the team should provide an update shortly after the game.

    • Wandy Peralta leaves with apparent groin injury
      Wandy Peralta left Tuesday’s game in the ninth inning with an apparent groin injury.

      Advice: Peralta looked like he wanted to try some warmup pitches after grabbing at his groin area on his final offering of the night, but the team didn’t let him. Hopefully, it will prove to be a day-to-day injury. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:02 pm
       
    • Justin Verlander (neck) progressing slowly
      Justin Verlander (neck) threw a bullpen session on Tuesday.

      Advice: Verlander continues throwing every other day, but remains without a timetable to progress to throwing off a mound. The Astros are proceeding with an abundance of caution with the 41-year-old right-hander after he hit the injured list back in mid-June with neck discomfort. He obviously won’t be back immediately after the All-Star break and it sounds like his absence could extend into a significant portion of August as well. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:00 pm
       
    • No timetable for mound work
      Verlander (neck) said Tuesday that he's increased the frequency of his flat-ground throwing, but there remains no timetable for when he will throw off a mound, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: While Verlander is feeling better, the progress from his neck injury continues to be slow. He has already been ruled out through the All-Star break, and it would seem at this point that he's unlikely to be ready at the start of the second half. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:56 pm
       
    • Gleyber Torres returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Rays
      Gleyber Torres (groin) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Rays.

      Advice: Torres is back at second base and batting fifth for Tuesday’s series opener in Tampa Bay following a two-game absence over the weekend due to right groin tightness. The Yankees are hoping that the extra rest will be enough to finally put the lingering issue to bed. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:17 pm
       
    • Rejoining lineup Tuesday
      Torres (groin) is starting at second base and batting fifth Tuesday against the Rays.

      Advice: Torres hasn't seen the field since Friday while batting groin soreness, but he's back in the starting nine for Tuesday's series opener in Tampa Bay. The 27-year-old batted .308 with a double and a homer in the seven games preceding the brief absence. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:01 pm
