Manager Dave Roberts said he expects Pederson (abdomen) to return to the lineup Wednesday against the Rockies, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Pederson was withheld from the starting nine in Tuesday's 5-3 win after bruising his abdominal area when he collided with the outfield wall in Monday's series opener. Roberts characterized Pederson's absence as precautionary, so assuming that he experiences no renewed soreness following the day off, the outfielder should slot back into the leadoff spot Wednesday.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over Colorado on Tuesday.

Turner plated an insurance run with a 409-foot blast to left field in the eighth inning. The long ball was his 27th of the season, tying his career high. The 34-year-old has racked up five homers in his last nine games and is tied for third in the majors with 17 home runs since the All-Star break.

Stanton (knee) took live batting practice Tuesday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Stanton faced rehabbing reliever Dellin Betances (lat) in the session and launched a home run while also striking out. The slugger has been out with a knee injury since June 25 and has been ramping up his activity of late in hopes of rejoining the Yankees by the end of the season.

Soler went 3-for-3 with a three-run homer, a stolen base and a walk in Tuesday's win over Detroit.

Soler crushed a 431-foot long ball with two men on base in the third inning to give the Royals an early lead. The home run was Soler's 39th of the season to establish the franchise single-season record. The 27-year-old also became the first Royal since Eric Hosmer in 2016 to reach the 100-RBI mark.

Jimenez went 3-for-4 with a double, two home runs and three RBI against the Indians on Tuesday.

Jimenez delivered two vital home runs, his first tying the contest at two in the seventh inning. One frame later, he delivered the game-winning run with his 24th long ball of the season. It marked the first time Jimenez has recorded an extra-base hit since Aug. 18, adding to what has proven to be a promising yet inconsistent rookie campaign. Overall, Jimenez is hitting .252/.300/.475 across 410 plate appearances.

Pederson (abdomen) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Pederson was lifted from Monday night's matchup after hitting the outfield wall hard while making a leaping catch, and he'll be held out of Tuesday's starting nine as a result. According to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com, the 27-year-old could be available off the bench and may return to Wednesday's lineup. Enrique Hernandez gets the call in right field and will hit seventh.

Vogelbach is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Vogelbach has hit just .143/.323/.286 over his last 15 games, showing good plate discipline but little else. Austin Nola gets the nod at first base.

Alvarez is not starting Tuesday against the Brewers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

With the series taking place in Milwaukee, Alvarez got the start in left field Monday, but he won't have a spot in Tuesday's lineup. The Astros will be happy to have no more interleague games remaining on the schedule, as Alvarez owns an incredible .317/.413/.671 slash line in his first 66 career big-league games.

Carpenter isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Carpenter is set for another day off after also taking a seat for Monday's series opener. Tommy Edman starts at third base and will bat seventh.

Collins was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte as expected Tuesday.

The 24-year-old got his first taste of the big leagues over the summer, going just 2-for-26 at the plate with 14 strikeouts. He owns a much stronger .282/.403/.548 slash line for Charlotte. He could be a candidate for a fair number of starts down the stretch as the White Sox look to evaluate for next season.
