  • Max Muncy SS | ATH

    Athletics' Max Muncy: Getting rest Tuesday

    Muncy isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

    Muncy went 2-for-7 with a walk during the Athletics' previous series against Milwaukee, and he'll now take a seat for the first of three games versus Texas. His absence will allow Luis Urias to pick up a start at second base and bat ninth.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Unavailable due to rib issue

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Donovan is unavailable Tuesday after a rib popped out of place earlier in the day, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Donovan's availability for Wednesday's series finale in Atlanta is also in question, although Marmol said it's unlikely the super-utility player will require a trip to the 10-day injured list. Nolan Gorman is occupying second base and batting third for St. Louis on Tuesday.

  • Colt Keith 3B | DET

    Tigers' Colt Keith: Not starting against righty

    Keith is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

    With Kerry Carpenter limited to designated hitter duty for now as he comes back from a hamstring issue and Spencer Torkelson deserving everyday playing time, Keith faces a playing-time squeeze in the short term. Torkelson is at first base versus righty Nick Pivetta on Tuesday.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Getting day off Tuesday

    Donovan is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    It's the first true day off for Donovan this season, as the first time he wasn't in the lineup came in the first game of a doubleheader. Nolan Gorman is handling second base and batting third for the Cardinals on Tuesday.

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Exiting starting nine

    Arias is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees.

    Arias isn't dealing with any known injury, but this will be the second time in the last four contests that he's been on the bench. Daniel Schneemann will start at second base and bat eighth for the Guardians.

  • Willi Castro RF | CHC

    Twins' Willi Castro: Held out again Tuesday

    Castro (oblique) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

    Castro hasn't played since tweaking his right oblique on April 16, although there's been no indication to this point that the Twins are mulling a injured-list stint. The Twins are going with Brooks Lee at third base and Edouard Julien at second base Tuesday.

  • Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Multi-hit effort in victory

    Fitzgerald went 2-for-3 with a run scored during Monday's 5-2 win over the Brewers.

    Fitzgerald recorded two singles in the win, marking his sixth multi-hit effort over 20 games this season. The 27-year-old infielder provided a crucial spark in the fifth frame, when he hit a leadoff single and later came around to tie the game at 2-2 on a throwing error. Fitzgerald owns the ninth-highest batting average in the National League and is slashing .318/.366/.500 with 12 runs scored, seven extra-base hits, six RBI and a team-high five stolen bases across 73 plate appearances.

  • Jazz Chisholm CF | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Slams seventh homer

    Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to Cleveland.

    Chisholm struck out twice in his first three plate appearances, but he ended his day with a two-run homer to right field. The veteran second baseman has a poor .161/.255/.425 slash line on the season, but he's tied for fifth in the majors with seven home runs. Chisholm has also stolen five bases, so he's provided useful fantasy production despite the low batting average.

  • Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Delivers two runs in win

    Campbell went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Monday's 4-2 win over the White Sox.

    Campbell, who fell behind 0-2, worked an eight-pitch at-bat before driving a sinker that caught too much of the plate the opposite way for two-run single. "Try to be selective as possible and swing at the right pitches," Campbell told Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. "Just try to be patient as possible." The rookie has been exposed to major-league pitching for three-plus weeks, including a second time against the White Sox, and he's learning how teams attack him and making adjustments. "We talk about there's an opportunity to face the same guys that he faced last week and to make adjustments and start looking for pitches," manager Alex Cora said. "And the last two days, he has been impressive. Not chasing." Campbell is batting .316/.428/.500 with eight extra-base hits, eight RBI, one steal, 11 runs, a 15.6 walk percentage (89th percentile) and 23.7 chase percentage (72nd percentile) over 91 plate appearances.

  • Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Knocks in two

    Rodgers went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Blue Jays.

    Rodgers sat for the last two games with right-handed pitchers on the mound, suggesting he may be slipping into a small-side platoon. However, he returned against Kevin Gausman and delivered a two-RBI double in the eighth inning. Rodgers now has three hits across 11 at-bats since returning from a hip injury.
