Chapman is not in Tuesday's lineup after having an infected ingrown toenail removed Monday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Ouch. While the experience was no doubt painful, Chapman figures to be ready to return to action soon following a little rest. Santiago Espinal is at third base Tuesday.

Henderson (back) said he won't be in Baltimore's lineup Tuesday against the Brewers, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Henderson added that he'll participate in pregame activities Tuesday to see how he feels and is hopeful to return Wednesday. The 21-year-old infielder hasn't played since his removal from Saturday's game against the Giants.

Chapman is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Astros.

It looks to be a rare day off for the third baseman. Santiago Espinal will handle the hot corner while Chapman grabs a seat.

LeMahieu is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

It will be Josh Donaldson manning third base. LeMahieu and Donaldson have both started two games at the hot corner since the latter returned from the injured list, with Donaldson also drawing one additional start at designated hitter.

Garcia went 0-for-2 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 9-6 loss to the Marlins.

This was Garcia's third straight game with an RBI, and he's walked safely in three of his last four contests. He's had some pockets of productive hitting after a hot start to May, and he's now slashing .261/.330/.380 through 27 contests. The infielder has added a home run, five steals, 13 RBI and nine runs scored while seeing steady playing time primarily at third base.

Maton went 1-for-2 with a walk and a three-run home run in Monday's loss to the Phillies.

Detroit fell 8-3, but it was a good homecoming for Maton, who blasted his sixth home run of the season in the seventh inning to break up Aaron Nola's no-hit bid. Maton played for the Phillies the last two seasons before joining the Tigers in the offseason as part of the Gregory Soto trade. Outside of the bright spot Monday, it's been a rough year for the utility player, as he's batting just .167.

Paredes will start at first base and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Paredes had begun to lose reps at third base to Taylor Walls at the end of May, but the Rays should have near-everyday roles in the infield available for both players for the foreseeable future after Brandon Lowe (back) was moved to the 10-day injured list Monday. While Lowe is on the shelf, Walls will likely take over as the Rays' primary second baseman, though the newly recalled Vidal Brujan will get the nod at the keystone Monday. Paredes, meanwhile, will slide across the diamond while primary first baseman Yandy Diaz gets a day out of the field to serve as the Rays' designated hitter.

Peterson went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a steal in Sunday's loss against the Marlins.

Peterson's now 6-for-7 on stolen base attempts this season. The veteran infielder hasn't offered much at the plate, however, going 4-for-32 (.125) in his last 11 games. Though he's still serving as Oakland's primary third baseman, Peterson is slashing just .197/.294/.280 with three homers, 15 runs scored and 13 RBI through 180 plate appearances this season.

Garcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Rockies.

Garcia kicked off the bottom of the eighth with a solo blast to left off Kyle Freeland, which subsequently ended Freeland's night on the hill. The 23-year-old had eight extra base hits coming into Sunday, but none had gone for home runs. Garcia was sharp over the final two weeks of May, slashing .333/.409/.462 and has two RBI over his first two starts of June thus far.

Jung went 3-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Mariners.

After opening the series 0-for-7 in the first two games -- which snapped his 14-game hitting streak -- Jung got back on track with a solid showing Sunday. The third baseman has multiple hits in eight of his last 17 contests. He's up to a .294/.343/.518 slash line with 12 home runs, 38 RBI, 42 runs scored, one stolen base, 11 doubles and a triple through 55 games overall. The 25-year-old has a near-everyday role in a strong offense, putting him on track to continue his breakout campaign.
