Boston Red Sox left-hander Ranger Suarez (groin) will not return to start against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night, according to Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. Instead, rookie left-hander Eduardo Rivera will get the nod for just his fourth big-league appearance and third start. Suarez was expected to come off the 15-day injured list to start on Tuesday, but with rain potentially in the forecast, the BoSox could be holding off as a precaution. If Suarez didn't suffer a setback with a groin strain that has kept him out for the last two weeks, he could make his return on Wednesday. The 30-year-old Venezuelan hurler is having a fine first season in Beantown, going 4-3 with a 3.15 ERA (2.61 FIP) and 1.16 WHIP with 97 strikeouts and 26 walks in 91 1/3 innings across his 17 starts, which was good enough to earn him his second All-Star nod in the last three seasons. Before landing on the IL, Suarez allowed three runs or fewer in each of his last six starts.

ESPN's Jeff Passan writes that the San Diego Padres are considering trading right-handed closer Mason Miller, less than a year after giving up one of the top prospects in baseball in shortstop Leo De Vries, to acquire him. The Padres would love to attach shortstop Xander Bogaerts' contract to any trade, which would severely limit the return for Miller, but Passan doesn't think any team will want to take Bogaerts. There will be plenty of teams in on Miller if SD is serious about moving him since the flamethrowing righty is a game-changer in the ninth inning. Passan lists the New York Yankees, Seattle Mariners, Philadelphia Phillies, Milwaukee Brewers, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Tampa Bay Rays as the best fits if Miller is actually dealt. If the Padres don't turn things around soon -- they sit 13.5 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West and 2.5 games out of the final NL wild-card spot with four teams in front of them -- Miller could be an ex-Padre by Aug. 3. Miller has been one of the most dominant relievers of all time in 2026, sporting a 101.3 mph fastball with a nasty slider that have helped him generate an absurd 48.4% strikeout rate in his 40 2/3 innings this year.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are calling up left-handed pitching prospect Kohl Drake from Triple-A Reno to make the start against the visiting Athletics in what will be his major-league debut, manager Torey Lovullo told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Drake was called up as an emergency option in June, but he did not get into a game. The 26-year-old southpaw, who is considered the team's No. 10 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has been up and down for the Aces in 2026, posting an elevated 6.92 ERA and a 4.47 career ERA in the minors. Drake has had an elevated 10% walk rate in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, but he's allowed two earned runs in 8 2/3 innings in his last two starts for Reno, including five shutout innings on July 3. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound lefty features a five-pitch mix of a four-seam fastball, cutter, changeup, curveball, and slider. Drake could have a shot to stick as the No. 5 starter for the D-backs if he shows well on Tuesday, given all the injuries currently plaguing the team's rotation, but for now, fantasy managers in single-year leagues can keep him as a watch candidate.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (elbow) is expected to return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the visiting Athletics and right-hander Jack Perkins after missing Monday's series opener with a hyperextended right elbow that he suffered on a missed swing in Sunday's series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals, according to John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports. The 25-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder has apparently avoided a serious injury and should avoid a stint on the injured list after getting hurt over the weekend. The former 16th overall pick in 2019 is a must-start in all fantasy formats when he's active, and he is currently hitting .250/.344/.480 with an .824 OPS, 14 homers, 47 RBI, 55 runs scored, and 10 stolen bases across his 356 at-bats in 2026. If Carroll returns on Tuesday, he'll be looking to turn things around in July, as he's gone just 6-for-51 (.118) with a .485 OPS, one homer, three doubles, four RBI, seven runs, one stolen base, nine walks, and 18 strikeouts in 14 games during the month.
