Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton's (wrist) MRI exam showed no significant damage to his left wrist, only inflammation, according to manager Paul Molitor.

George Springer Leaves Game With Shoulder Soreness

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (shoulder) left the game early on Tuesday in the second inning with left shoulder soreness. Springer injured himself during a hard dive in the outfield.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (hand) has a hand contusion after being hit by a pitch in the ninth inning on Tuesday.

Oakland Athletics general manager David Forst said that pitching prospect Jesus Luzardo will be moved to Triple-A Nashville after his start for Double-A on Tuesday.

Justin Turner Could Return This Weekend

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (groin) had another good workout on Tuesday, and manager Dave Roberts is encouraged with his progress.

The "initial plan" is for Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) to start a rehab assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi on Thursday, according to manager A.J. Hinch.

Saints Signing Michael Floyd

The New Orleans Saints are signing free-agent wide receiver Michael Floyd on Tuesday, according to a source. Ever since a DUI arrest while with the Arizona Cardinals in 2016, Floyd has been well off the fantasy radar. He managed a 1,000-yard season with Arizona in 2013 on 65 catches.

Harrison Bader, Tyler O'Neill To Split Playing Time

St. Louis Cardinals outfielders Harrison Bader and Tyler O'Neill will split playing time in center field about 50-50, according to general manager John Mozeliak.
