Manager Craig Albernaz said that O'Neill is dealing with right shoulder soreness and is set to get an MRI on Tuesday evening, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

O'Neill injured his right shoulder when he made a diving catch in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays. The right-handed batter would likely have started in Tuesday's contest against the Cardinals, who have southpaw Matthew Liberatore on the mound. Luis Vazquez is on the taxi squad in the scenario he is needed, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Outman cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The 29-year-old was reinstated from the concussion injured list Sunday and was then designated for assignment by Detroit, but he'll stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Outman has struggled with both the Tigers and Twins this season, posting a combined .172/.235/.318 slash line and 41.8 percent strikeout rate in 94 games.

Manager Aaron Boone said Judge (ribs) is scheduled to hit in the batting cage Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The 34-year-old started up a hitting progression last week and is now ready to move on to hitting overhand batting practice after previously being limited to tee-and-toss. Judge also continues to play catch and run while working his way back from a stress fracture in his rib. He's progressing well, but it'll likely be at least a couple more weeks before he has a realistic chance of rejoining the Yankees.

Anthony (finger) said Tuesday that he could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list Friday against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

It's unclear whether the Red Sox share the same sentiment, but Anthony appears to be nearing the end of his rehab assignment. The outfielder gone 3-for-11 with one home run and a 2:4 BB:K over his first four rehab contests with Double-A Portland and is moving his rehab to Triple-A Worcester this week. Anthony has been sidelined since early May with a partially torn tendon in his right ring finger.

The White Sox recalled Nishida from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

He'll absorb the roster spot vacated by Andrew Benintendi (bereavement). Nishida will likely be around only while Benintendi is on the bereavement list.

Caglianone (ankle) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Toronto.

Caglianone will miss a second straight start due to right ankle soreness, an injury that's been nagging at him for at least a week. John Rave will occupy right field for the Royals on Tuesday while Caglianone recuperates.

Kwan went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's 4-2 win over the Angels.

Kwan scored the Guardians' first run on a sacrifice fly, giving him 19 runs scored over his last 19 games. Since the beginning of July, he's posted a .357/.457/.439 slash line with six doubles, two triples, one home run, 12 RBI, six steals and 29 runs across 44 contests.

Martinez started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a double in Monday's 4-2 win over the Angels.

Martinez entered the starting lineup after the Guardians scratched Chase DeLauter due to left hamstring tightness, the the same issue that forced him to miss three games last week. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt indicated to Tim Stebbins of MLB.com that DeLauter likely could have remained in the lineup as the designated hitter, but the manager didn't want to take the chance. Martinez is batting .350 (7-for-20) with two doubles, two RBI, two steals and two runs scored over his last six contests.

Bolte went 3-for-4 with three runs scored and a walk in Monday's 9-6 loss to the Twins.

Bolte didn't drive in a run but crossed the plate a career-high three times. The rookie has been hot at the plate in August, slashing .345/.406/.494 with three homers, eight RBI, 17 runs and two stolen bases over 22 games. On the year, he's hitting .276/.352/.374 with six homers, 26 RBI, 37 runs and 14 stolen bases across 89 contests.

Buxton went 3-for-5 with a double, four runs scored and a walk in Monday's 9-6 win over the Athletics.

Buxton was active offensively, matching a season high with four runs while picking up three hits for the first time since June 26. In 10 games since returning from the injured list due to a right hip impingement, the center fielder has gone 7-for-36 (.194) with no homers, one RBI and eight runs. Overall, Buxton is slashing .256/.321/.515 with 25 homers, 46 RBI, 65 runs and seven stolen bases in 92 contests.
