Tucupita Marcano has been banned from baseball for life for violating Major League Baseball’s betting policy.

This was first reported by Lindsay Adler and Jared Diamond of the Wall Street Journal on Monday, and now it’s official. The investigation by MLB found that Marcano bet more than $150,000 on baseball, with $87,319 of that on bets related to baseball. The league did determine the bets didn’t compromise the outcomes of any games, but that won’t change Marcano’s status.

Hunter Goodman is not in the Rockies’ starting lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Cardinals.

Goodman had started every other game during the week, either as the Rockies’ catcher or as the designated hitter, so he’ll get at least a partial day off in this one. Brett Sullivan will do the catching for the Rockies and will bat seventh against Cardinals’ right-hander Kyle Leahy.

Astros recalled RHP Miguel Ullola from Triple-A Sugar Land.

He’ll take the place of Kei-Wei Teng on the Astros’ active roster. Ullola, 24, has posted a 4.50 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and a 9/1 K/BB ratio in six strong innings of work over four appearances with the Astros this season. He’ll give them another bullpen option that’s capable of working multiple innings.

George Springer is not in the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s tilt against the Royals.

It’s the second time in four days that Springer has been held out of action, so it’s possible that he’s battling some sort of minor injury. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will function as the team’s designated hitter while Sean Keys starts at first base and will bat sixth against Royals’ right-hander Randy Dobnak on Sunday afternoon in Kansas City.

Tigers transferred OF Matt Vierling to the 60-day injured list.

Nothing has changed in the prognosis for Vierling, who has been battling an adductor strain and left heel inflammation, this was done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for the return of Brant Hurter on Sunday. This closes the door on the 2026 season for Vierling.

Turner Hill is not in the Giants’ starting lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Mets.

The 27-year-old outfielder had started each of the team’s previous five games — including four straight as the Giants’ cleanup hitter. He has done a nice job in his limited action so far, slashing .308/.400/.404 with zero homers, 12 RBI and a stolen base in 65 plate appearances. Grant McCray will start in his place in left field and bat seventh against Mets’ right-hander Christian Scott on Sunday.

Tigers activated LHP Brant Hurter from the 60-day injured list.

Hurter had been sidelined since mid-May due to lumbar spine inflammation. Before landing on the injured list, the 28-year-old southpaw had posted a strong 2.84 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and an 18/12 K/BB ratio over 25 1/3 innings. He should provide a nice boost to an overworked and struggling Tigers’ bullpen.

Tigers optioned LHP Andrew Sears to Triple-A Toledo.

Sears did a nice job in his first MLB start against the Guardians on Friday, allowing just one run on four hits over 5 2/3 innings of work. With Brant Hurter returning from the injured list on Sunday though, he gets squeezed off of the club’s active roster. It’s possible that we’ll see him return before the season comes to a close.

Jac Caglianone (elbow) was held out of the Royals’ starting lineup for Sunday’s battle against the Blue Jays.

Caglianone made an early exit from Saturday’s game due to soreness in his left elbow and he’ll sit once again on Sunday as a precautionary measure. As of now, there are no indications that he’ll require an extended absence from the lineup so he’s considered day-to-day. John Rave will start in his place in right field and bat leadoff for the Royals on Sunday afternoon.

Ryan Waldschmidt is absent from the Diamondbacks’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s showdown against the Astros.

It looks to be nothing more than a regular day of rest for the 23-year-old outfielder. Waldschmidt has done a decent job overall in his time with the D’Backs this season, slashing .266/.331/.378 with three homers, 22 RBI and seven stolen bases across 263 plate appearances. Jordan Lawlar will start in his place in center field and bat ninth for the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
