Not good. Sánchez’s velocity was down nearly two miles per hour across the board, which is a glaring warning sign, and he was lifted after just 58 pitches over two innings. The 28-year-old southpaw will undergo further evaluation and testing to determine the severity of the issue. He’s looked like a certifiable fantasy ace this season, entering Tuesday’s outing on the heels of back-to-back 12-strikeout performances. There should be some clarity on his status in the coming days. He’s obviously in jeopardy of missing his upcoming start next Tuesday against the Nationals. It would likely be Ranger Suárez (back) coming off the injured list to take his rotation spot.

Kelly returns to the minors to enable the club to bring up a fresh arm. The 33-year-old reliever has posted an unsightly 16.20 ERA and 6/6 K/BB ratio across five innings this season in the majors.

Kriske is going to be out until at least mid-July, if not longer, after hitting the injured list with a shoulder impingement last month.

Wilson’s return would provide a significant lift for the Athletics, who have been rolling with Darell Hernaiz at shortstop since he hit the injured list with a shoulder subluxation back on May 11. The 24-year-old has been ramping up baseball activities recently and should progress to minor league game action later this week. There’s a chance he’s back with the Athletics by mid-June.

Realmuto receives some additional time off to rest and recover after leaving Sunday’s series finale against the Dodgers with a left wrist contusion. The 35-year-old backstop is day-to-day for the moment. It’ll be Garrett Stubbs behind the plate for the Phillies on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park.

Torres returns to Detroit’s lineup after missing just over one month recovering from a left oblique strain. The 29-year-old veteran is back at second base and hitting leadoff on Tuesday night against the Rays. He was batting .259/.389/.328 with two homers and 11 RBI in 29 games prior to hitting the injured list back in early May.

Lee returns to the minors with Gleyber Torres back from the injured list. The 23-year-old rookie hit .205 (17-for-83) with two homers and nine RBI in 32 games for Detroit during his first stint in the majors.

McGonigle receives his first day off since May 4. The 21-year-old hitting machine has dealt with the usual ebbs and flows that accompany life in the majors as a rookie, but he’s been a fantasy force, hitting 285/.390/.407 with 38 runs scored, three homers, 21 RBI and nine steals across 59 games. Gleyber Torres is at second base in his return from the injured list with Zack Short handling shortstop and Zach McKinstry at the hot corner.

Kwan returns to Cleveland’s lineup, patrolling left field and hitting seventh on Tuesday night against the Yankees, after being away from the club for a couple games on bereavement leave. The 28-year-old has struggled to an underwhelming .207/.329/.259 triple-slash line with 25 runs scored, one homer, 12 RBI and two steals in 234 plate appearances over 54 games.

Halpin returns to the minors after a one-month stint with the Guardians. The 24-year-old has hit .167 (5-for-30) with one RBI and two steals in 18 games this season.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Judge, who is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Guardians, will meet with team doctors to determine his next steps after imaging revealed a bone bruise in his shoulder. He also revealed that Judge has been dealing with the issue for some time, but it worsened over the weekend. The hope is that some additional rest will resolve the lingering issue. A trip to the injured list does not appear imminent, but this remains a developing situation. Further clarity on Judge’s status should emerge as the week progresses.
