France (wrist) is in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Rockies, batting fourth as the designated hitter.

France got an MRI after appearing to hurt his wrist during Sunday's win over the Rays. Per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com, the infielder has a bone bruise that he plans to play through, though he'll see how he comes out of batting practice Tuesday. France's availability could very well be a day-by-day case in the coming days.

Alonso is out of the lineup Tuesday against Atlanta.

Alonso started the past 18 games and will take a seat after posting a .775 OPS during that stretch. Dominic Smith will shift to first base while Kevin Pillar receives the start in left field.

Tellez was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Tellez hasn't proved to be worthy of everyday at-bats this season, as he's struggled to a .209/.272/.338 slash line in 151 trips to the plate. Now that George Springer is back from his quadriceps injury, there's no room for Tellez in the lineup, so he'll head to the minors in hopes of getting his groove back with regular playing time.

White (hip) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

White was closing in on being activated from the injured list but suffered a setback in his recovery when he had to exit his rehab outing with Triple-A Tacoma last Thursday. The move to the 60-day IL means the earliest White can be activated is the first game after the All-Star break against the Angels on July 16. Per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, White will receive a second opinion on his strained hip flexor in the coming days to get a better idea of a potential recovery timeline. Jake Hager was claimed off waivers and added to the 40-man roster in a corresponding transaction.

Rizzo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

The first baseman gets a day off amidst a tough 12-game stretch in which he's hit just .154. Rizzo has homered three times in that span, though. Kris Bryant will fill in at first base Tuesday, with Patrick Wisdom playing third.

Lowe is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Athletics.

Lowe has been a regular presence in the Rangers' lineup against both righties and left-handers this season, but he'll yield first base to the recently recalled Andy Ibanez against southpaw Cole Irvin on Tuesday.

O'Hearn is in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Yankees, batting fourth as the designated hitter.

O'Hearn was recalled Monday after Adalberto Mondesi landed on the injured list once again with an oblique injury. In a somewhat surprising decision, O'Hearn will immediately be inserted into the middle of Kansas City's lineup. O'Hearn struggled at the plate during his previous stint with the Royals this season, slashing an awful .189/.246/.377 across 53 at-bats before being sent back to Triple-A Omaha on May 28. He'll face a tough task Tuesday with the Yankees sending ace Gerrit Cole to the mound.

Voit (oblique) was activated off the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Voit has missed most of the year due to injuries, first with a meniscus tear in his knee and then with a strained oblique. He got into just 12 games between the two absences and hit a poor .182/.280/.250 in 50 trips to the plate, but he's looked great in rehab action, going 8-for-19 with a pair of homers.

Votto will serve a one-game suspension and won't be available for Tuesday's series finale in Minnesota, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Votto's suspension stems from his ejection in the Reds' 7-5 loss to the Padres on Saturday, when he was run from the game in the first inning after arguing with the home-plate umpire on a check-swing strikeout. He was initially handed a two-game ban, but after appealing the decision, he had the suspension reduced to one game. Considering the Reds are facing a quick turnaround from Monday's 12-inning loss to the Twins with a game that begins at 1:10 p.m. ET, Tuesday represents an ideal time for Votto to serve the suspension. After a team off day Wednesday, the veteran first baseman should return to the lineup for Thursday's series opener versus Atlanta.

Votto is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

With the Reds and Twins concluding their two-game set Tuesday with a contest that begins at 1:10 p.m. ET, Votto is most likely just getting some rest after he played all 12 innings in Monday night's 7-5 loss. Tyler Stephenson will step in at first base for Votto, who went 2-for-5 with a walk and three strikeouts in the series opener.
