  • Jose Herrera C | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jose Herrera: Fills in Tuesday

    Herrera started at catcher and went 2-for-3 with a walk and a double in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Mets.

    Herrera replaced Gabriel Moreno, who was scratched with lingering soreness in his left side stemming from a play at the plate during Monday's game. Moreno's injury is not considered serious, and he was available off the bench Tuesday if needed, per MLB.com.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Dealing with side soreness

    Moreno didn't play in Tuesday's game against the Mets due to left side soreness, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

    Scratching Moreno from the lineup before Tuesday's contest was originally reported to be a managerial decision, but it now appears Moreno is dealing with an injury that stems from a play at the plate Monday. The team is labelling him as day-to-day for now, and Jose Herrera will start at catcher for any additional games Moreno misses.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Brings home three runs

    Bailey went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 14-5 extra innings win over the Cubs.

    Bailey gave the Giants a 2-0 lead in the second inning on a sacrifice fly that brought LaMonte Wade home. Bailey came up to bat twice in the 11th frame, driving in a run in each of his plate appearances as part of San Francisco's nine-run inning. Bailey has reached base safely in five straight games, and over that span he has gone 6-for-17 with three runs scored and three RBI.

  • Miguel Amaya C | CHC

    Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Smacks two-run homer

    Amaya went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 14-5 extra innings loss to San Francisco.

    Amaya got the Cubs on the board in the third inning, when he took Justin Verlander deep to left-center field for a two-run home run. It was Amaya's third home run of the season, and the Cubs' backup catcher has started the year slashing .257/.284/.471 with 10 runs scored and 16 RBI in 75 plate appearances.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Getting X-rays on finger

    Manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Contreras has been playing through a finger injury, and it's now bothering him enough to warrant taking him in for X-rays, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

    Murphy added that Contreras' finger has begun to affect his ability to keep pitches in his glove and hang onto his bat while swinging. More information on the 27-year-old's status will be available once the results of his tests come back, but the Brewers may look to use Eric Haase behind the plate more often in the near future if Contreras' finger continues to be an issue.

  • Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Scratched from Tuesday's lineup

    Moreno has been scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Mets.

    Moreno is stepping out of the starting nine due to a manager's decision, per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com, so it doesn't seem like the 25-year-old backstop is battling any sort of injury. Jose Herrera will now start behind home plate and bat ninth. Moreno has gone 8-for-30 with six runs scored and three RBI over his last nine games.

  • Keibert Ruiz C | WAS

    Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Resting during nightcap

    Ruiz isn't in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

    After going 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored during a win in Game 1, Ruiz will take a seat on the bench to conclude Tuesday's activities. Riley Adams will catch instead for Brad Lord and bat eighth.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Sent back to El Paso

    The Padres optioned Campusano to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

    Just three days after being recalled from Triple-A, Campusano will return to the minors to make room for the return of Jackson Merrill (hamstring) from the injured list. Campusano went 0-for-6 during his brief stint with the Padres, though he managed to reach base four times via walks. He'd likely return to the majors if Elias Diaz or Martin Maldonado were to miss any amount of time.

  • Ivan Herrera DH | STL

    Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Could return during road trip

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Tuesday that Herrera (knee) could be activated from the 10-day injured list during the team's road trip that begins Friday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Herrera has gone 6-for-14 with one home run and one double in his first four rehab games with Triple-A Memphis and will catch seven innings in his fifth rehab contest Tuesday. It sounds like the catcher might be back as soon as Friday's game against the Nationals. He's been out since April 6 with a left knee bone bruise.

  • Joey Bart C | PIT

    Pirates' Joey Bart: Day off Tuesday

    Bart is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in St. Louis.

    It's a routine day off for Bart, who had started each of the previous four contests (three at catcher, one at designated hitter). Henry Davis will be behind the plate and bat ninth for the Pirates on Tuesday.
