The Yankees optioned Schuemann to the Florida Complex League on Tuesday.

He's clearing off the active roster in order to make space for the return of Jazz Chisholm (thumb). Schuemann reporting to the Yankees' FCL affiliate allows him to continue working out at the team's spring training complex in case he's needed in the future.

Thomas (intercostal) took some swings off a tee Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Thomas was diagnosed with a left intercostal strain late last week, but he was cleared to swing a bat shortly after that following a cortisone injection. Atlanta believes Thomas could be ready to return during the early portion of the postseason.

Young is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Detroit.

While Young gets a breather, Dylan Crews will slide over to center field Tuesday and will be flanked by Daylen Lile in left field and James Wood in right field. Yohandy Morales will receive a start in the designated-hitter spot.

Collins is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

It marks the third time over the last four games that Collins has been out of the lineup, as he could be slipping into a reserve role. Nick Loftin will cover left field for the Royals in Tuesday's series opener.

White underwent Lisfranc surgery on his right foot Tuesday.

White hasn't played in nearly two weeks, and the decision was made to have surgery after consultations. There's no word on how long his rehab will take, but White's season is over and there's a decent chance he's non-tendered this winter.

Mangum is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Cardinals.

Mangum's playing time has slipped a bit of late, as this will be his third time on the bench over the Pirates' last five contests. Ronny Simon is in right field and will bat seventh for Pittsburgh.

Fraley elected to become a free agent Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Fraley was removed from the Rays' 40-man roster this past weekend, and he's chosen not to accept an outright assignment after clearing waivers. The 31-year-old will get a head start on free agency after slashing .216/.289/.364 with two home runs in 31 games for the Rays this season.

Davidson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

Davidson made his big-league debut Monday after being called up from Triple-A Sacramento. The 24-year-old outfielder lined a single to right field in the first inning and stole second base before coming around to score. With the Giants plagued by injuries and eliminated from playoff contention, Davidson could see regular reps down the stretch.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that the does not anticipate Judge (calf) being ready for the wild-card series next week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Judge was placed on the 10-day injured list this past weekend with a right calf strain that Boone revealed Tuesday was "moderate." The outfielder was given a platelet-poor plasma injection in his calf Monday and will rest for a few days to allow the shot to take effect. Judge will aim to be ready for the ALDS, should the Yankees advance, but nothing is guaranteed. Heliot Ramos will be asked to pick up the slack in right field while Judge is sidelined.

Gilbert went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, two additional RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

Gilbert was a major contributor in the victory, lining a two-RBI single in the second inning before smacking a solo homer in the fifth frame. It was a much-needed performance for the young outfielder, as he was slashing just .182/.289/.394 through 15 games in September entering Monday. On the year, Gilbert is hitting .237/.327/.396 with 11 homers, 43 RBI, 52 runs and two stolen bases across 129 contests.
