Mark Reynolds announced that he was retired on MLB Network Radio.

“I’m retired, actually,” Reynolds told Chris Russo of Mad Dog Radio on his radio show. “I guess that’s breaking news on your show. I haven’t really told anybody.” Reynolds played for 13 seasons, and hit 298 homers for the Diamondbacks, Orioles, Indians, Yankees, Brewers, Cardinals, Nationals and Rockies. His best seasons came in Arizona, as he averaged 32 home runs in his five seasons with the D-Backs; including a 44-homer campaign in 2009 that also saw him steal 24 bases in 33 attempts.

Astros placed RHP Lance McCullers Jr. on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

McCullers hits the injured list shortly after being scratched from Tuesday’s start against the Twins with shoulder inflammation. The 32-year-old has already returned to Houston to undergo imaging to determine whether he’s dealing with any structural damage. There should be a clearer idea of his status at some point later this week. It’s a bit unclear how the Astros will fill his rotation spot at the moment.

Tyler Freeman

COL Right Fielder #2

Rockies activated OF Tyler Freeman from the paternity list.

Freeman returns for Tuesday’s game against the Rangers after spending a couple days away from the club on paternity leave. The 26-year-old corner outfielder has hit .253/.330/.345 with two homers, 12 RBI and four steals across 101 plate appearances over 27 games this season.

Sterlin Thompson

COL Left Fielder #30

Rockies optioned OF Sterlin Thompson to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Thompson went 1-for-8 at the dish across three games during his first call-up with the Rockies. The 24-year-old outfielder has put up some big-time numbers in the upper minors and figures to receive a more extended look in Colorado at some point later this season.

Kolby Allard

CLE Relief Pitcher #49

Guardians re-signed LHP Kolby Allard to a minor league contract.

Allard is back with Cleveland as emergency pitching depth after spending a couple days on the open market. The 28-year-old southpaw allowed 10 runs on 16 hits over 8 2/3 innings across four relief outings for the Guardians last month.

Gleyber Torres

DET 2nd Baseman #25

Gleyber Torres (oblique) has progressed to on-field baseball activities.

Torres has not been cleared to head out on a minor league rehab assignment, but that figures to happen at some point soon. The 29-year-old second baseman hit the injured list with a left oblique strain back on May 6.

Lance McCullers Jr.

HOU Starting Pitcher #43
Lance McCullers Jr. was scratched from Tuesday’s start against the Twins with shoulder inflammation.

Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters McCullers has been pitching through the shoulder issue for a few starts but didn’t bounce back as hoped this week following his latest outing. He’ll return to Houston to undergo further evaluation and testing to determine the severity of the issue and his next steps. It certainly sounds like he’s headed to the injured list. It’ll be Jason Alexander taking the ball to open a bullpen game on Tuesday against the Twins.

Wyatt Langford

TEX Left Fielder #36

Wyatt Langford (forearm) is aiming to be cleared to resume hitting this week.

Langford will need to pass some forearm testing before he’s given clearance to resume hitting later this week. The 24-year-old fantasy standout has been on the shelf recovering from a right forearm strain since April 22. There should be a definitive return timetable once he starts ramping up baseball activities again.

Justin Foscue

TEX 1st Baseman #14
Justin Foscue is hitting second on Tuesday against the Rockies.

Foscue will get a chance to hit near the top of Texas’ lineup, with Andrew McCutchen leading off and Evan Carter being dropped to ninth in the batting order, against lefty opener Sammy Peralta after homering twice in 10 games since being called back up to the majors on May 5.

Giancarlo Stanton

NYY Designated Hitter #27

Giancarlo Stanton (calf) has not been cleared to resume running.

Stanton has been given the green light to hit and go through plyometric exercises, but hasn’t received the go-ahead to resume running, which is the biggest hurdle to making it back to New York’s lineup. The 36-year-old slugger is a couple weeks away at this juncture.

MacKenzie Gore

TEX Starting Pitcher #1

MacKenzie Gore is day-to-day with left lat tightness.

Gore told reporters he feels fine but will undergo imaging to rule out anything structural after making a precautionary exit from Monday’s start against the Rockies with left lat tightness. All signs point to Gore making his next start against the Angels on Sunday.
