Allen was in line for the loss when the game was suspended Monday, but he was let off the hook when the Guardians tied it in the ninth before losing it in the bottom of the inning. The left-hander gave up four hits and a walk and struck out three. Allen is expected to make his next start Saturday against the Tigers.

The timing is unfortunate for Culpepper and fantasy managers since the top prospect appeared to be on the verge of arriving in Minnesota. The 23-year-old infielder has torn the cover off the ball recently, hitting .368 (14-for-38) with two homers and three steals in 10 games since the start of June. He’s launched 14 homers and collected 15 steals through 61 games for Triple-A St. Paul this season. It feels like only a matter of time before he takes over as the club’s shortstop of the future, but this injury will certainly delay his arrival until later this summer.

Bassitt hit the injured list with lower back discomfort last week. It doesn’t sound like he’s going to require a lengthy absence, but he won’t be an option for the Orioles again until later this month.

Beavers figures to make it back to Baltimore before the end of June. The 24-year-old hit the injured list with a low-grade oblique strain back on May 13.

Keith’s departure from Detroit’s lineup comes after an epic three-homer explosion during Monday’s series opener at Daikin Park. The 24-year-old corner infielder is presumably day-to-day for now. Rookie sensation Kevin McGonigle moves over to cover the hot corner with Zach McKinstry taking over at shortstop.

Tiedemann struck out two of the five batters he faced and was reportedly sitting in the mid-90’s with his fastball, topping out at 97 mph. The 23-year-old southpaw remains one of Toronto’s most intriguing pitching prospects, even though injuries have prevented him from reaching his lofty potential as one of the top prospects in baseball just a few years ago. It’s a bit unclear how the Blue Jays will proceed with his development since he could probably help their bullpen in the late stages of the regular season as opposed to stretching out as a starter with an eye towards the future.

Bieber is aiming to build up to roughly 75 pitches in his next rehab outing and appears to be close to returning to Toronto for his season debut. The 31-year-old looked sharp his last time out, striking out four over five shutout innings last Thursday. He’s isn’t too far away from making it back to the majors.

Lugo completed a bullpen session on Tuesday without any issues and appears poised to rejoin Kansas City’s rotation later this week. The 36-year-old veteran hit the concussion injured list last Friday after being struck in the head by a comebacker during his previous start against the Rangers.

Ramos should make it back to San Francisco’s lineup before the end of June. The 26-year-old corner outfielder has been out with a right quad strain since mid-May.

Ragans underwent an MRI earlier this week after suffering a setback last week in his recovery from an elbow impingement that put him on the injured list back in early May. Royals manager Matt Quatraro told reporters Tuesday that they want to get a concrete answer in terms of what’s going on with his elbow, which is why he’s being sent to visit another specialist. There should be a clearer idea of his next steps at some point later this week. It certainly doesn’t sound like Ragans will be back at any point in the near future.

Barger has been on the shelf working his way back from elbow inflammation since mid-May. The 26-year-old has progressed to hitting off a pitching machine and throwing from a distance of 150 feet. The hope is that he’ll be ready to start a rehab assignment at some point relatively soon.
