  • Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA

    Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Idle Tuesday

    Schanuel isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Boston, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Schanuel doesn't typically exit the lineup against left-handed starters, but he will do so Tuesday with Garrett Crochet on the mound for the Red Sox. LaMonte Wade will take over at first base and bat eighth while Schanuel rests.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: Scratched from lineup

    Naylor (shoulder) was scratched from the Diamondbacks' lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

    Naylor had initially been expected to start one day after exiting Monday's contest when he tweaked his right shoulder on a swing. It does not seem as though he's suffered a setback, but rather the Diamondbacks just want to play it safe and give him a little more rest. Pavin Smith will play first base Tuesday, and Randal Grichuk will enter the lineup at designated hitter.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Day off amid slump

    Torkelson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Athletics.

    It's the second time in three contests that Torkelson -- who is 4-for-32 over his last nine games -- has been absent from the lineup. Colt Keith is at first base and batting leadoff Tuesday.

    Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: In Tuesday's lineup

    Naylor (shoulder) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

    Naylor had to be removed from Monday's contest in Chicago after tweaking his right shoulder on a swing. However, he has avoided a serious injury and will be back in there a day later. Naylor has collected an .824 OPS with nine home runs over 75 games for the Diamondbacks this season.

  • Justin Foscue 1B | TEX

    Rangers' Justin Foscue: Makes season debut

    Foscue started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 6-0 loss to Baltimore.

    Foscue, who was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, made his season debut for the Rangers. His MLB debut came in April of 2024 but was cut short immediately by an oblique injury. The 14th overall pick in the 2021 First-Year Player Draft, Foscue came up as a second baseman but has since added first base to his profile and could see time there with Jake Burger (oblique) on the 10-day injured list.

    Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: May play Tuesday

    Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Naylor (shoulder) is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday against the White Sox, Casey Drottar of MLB.com reports

    Naylor went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI before being removed from Monday's 10-0 win in the fourth inning after injuring his right shoulder on a swing in the second inning. Should Naylor be unavailable Tuesday, Pavin Smith would likely fill in at first base against Chicago right-hander Jordan Leasure.

  • Matt Gorski 1B | PIT

    Pirates' Matt Gorski: Injured at Triple-A

    Triple-A Indianapolis transferred Gorski from its 7-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Friday while he recovers from an undisclosed injury.

    Gorski hasn't played for Indianapolis since May 23, so his move to the 60-day IL ensures that he'll remain on the shelf through the All-Star break. Before getting shut down at Indianapolis, Gorski got the chance to make his big-league debut with the Pirates earlier this season. The 27-year-old slashed .195/.214/.390 with two home runs in 42 plate appearances for Pittsburgh before he was optioned to Triple-A on May 17.

    Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: Nursing shoulder injury

    Naylor was removed from Monday's game against the White Sox due to right shoulder discomfort.

    Naylor will presumably be re-evaluated Tuesday as the Diamondbacks determine his status for the second game of the series. Pavin Smith, Tim Tawa or Ildemaro Vargas could see time at first base if Naylor is forced to miss additional action.

    Diamondbacks' Josh Naylor: Exits early Monday

    Naylor was removed from Monday's game against the White Sox due to an apparent shoulder injury, Casey Drottar of MLB.com reports.

    Naylor appeared to grab at his right shoulder following an awkward swing during his at-bat in the top of the second inning, per Drottar, though he managed to remain in the game until the bottom of the fourth. Tim Tawa took over for Naylor at first base. The 28-year-old is presumably headed to the clubhouse for further evaluation.

  • Ryan Noda 1B | BAL

    White Sox's Ryan Noda: Sitting against southpaw

    Noda is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Though he'll hit the bench while the Diamondbacks send southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill, the left-handed-hitting Noda has been a regular in the White Sox lineup against right-handed pitching since he was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox on June 13. Noda started in seven of the previous eight games but went 2-for-19 with five walks and 12 strikeouts. Edgar Quero will replace him at designated hitter Monday.
