Montero is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Pirates.

The 24-year-old will take a seat after making two errors at third base in Monday's blowout loss versus Pittsburgh, and manager Bud Black said he plans to "readdress" the position defensively, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com. It remains to be seen exactly how Montero's role changes, but a move back to the minors doesn't appear out of the question. Ryan McMahon is handling the hot corner Tuesday with Alan Trejo covering second base.

Beaty was optioned Tuesday to Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Brett Wisely is getting the call in a corresponding roster move. Beaty has gone 1-for-5 with zero walks and two strikeouts in a couple different stints with the Giants this year.

O'Hearn is starting at first base and batting ninth for the Orioles on Tuesday versus the Nationals.

It's his second start in five games since O'Hearn was added to the roster last week. He's 3-for-5 with five RBI over that stretch. With O'Hearn handling first base, Ryan Mountcastle is in the designated hitter spot.

Steer (quad/knee) remains out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Rays.

Steer also sat out Monday after experiencing some discomfort in his right knee and quad in Sunday's series finale against the Phillies. Nick Senzel will play third base and bat eighth for the Reds on Tuesday night versus Tampa Bay.

Manzardo is slashing .262/.333/.548 with three home runs and a 10:5 K:BB in 48 plate appearances for Triple-A Durham.

The Rays didn't mess around, sending Manzardo to Triple-A this year after he dominated in 30 games at Double-A to close last season. Manzardo also set a career high in exit velocity (111.9 mph) on one of his home runs this season, and his 42.4 percent hard-hit rate is up from the 33.5 percent mark he logged in 2022.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI in Monday's victory over the Mariners.

Voit recorded just two hits over his first 16 at-bats of the season, but he has picked up the pace, going 7-for-17 (.412) over the last four games he appeared in. He is still searching for the power, though, as his double Monday was his first extra-base hit of the season.

Arias is will start at first base and bat second in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

It's the second game in a row that Arias has been in the No. 2 spot for the Guardians after he filled in at shortstop for Amed Rosario (back) on Sunday. Arias is just 1-for-12 versus lefties this season, but that one hit was a home run. He'll go up against southpaw Matthew Boyd in this contest.

Naylor is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

The Tigers are throwing lefty Matthew Boyd in the first game and southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez in the nightcap. The lefty-hitting Naylor has made just one start against a left-hander this season but could get a shot in the second game. Gabriel Arias is handling first base in the first contest.

Abreu went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Blue Jays.

Abreu opened the scoring for the Astros in the first inning with a two-run double before also coming around to score. He has yet to homer this season, but he has two doubles, two runs scored and four RBI across his last five games -- though he's also hit only .143 in that span. Overall, Abreu has a very underwhelming 54 wRC+ and .250 wOBA after 75 plate appearances, but he continues to hit exclusively in the cleanup spot in the Houston lineup.

Freeman went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in an 8-6 loss to the Mets on Monday.

Freeman powered Los Angeles' offense one day after striking out four times against the Cubs. The star first baseman came into the contest on an uncharacteristic cold streak, as he was batting just .143 (4-for-28) with no extra-base hits and nine strikeouts over his previous seven games. Freeman emerged in a big way with a solo home run off David Peterson in the first inning and a game-tying two-run shot off Peterson in the fifth. He's slashing .328/.416/.522 through 77 plate appearances on the campaign, though he's knocked in just six runs including Monday's outburst.
