"It seem like we have had it multiple times, but I don't know what you can do about it," manager Bob Melvin said to Bay Area News Group. "When you get guys in close proximity and there's something that's contagious going around, to an extent you try to do the best you can like yesterday, sending Canha home. But you go through these things."

The first baseman has hit .226/.293/.396 with five home runs and 15 RBI in 106 at-bats.

Tigers right fielder J.D. Martinez is batting cleanup and left fielder Yoenis Cespedes is batting fifth in Tuesday's matchup with the Brewers.

With the Cardinals facing a left-hander on Tuesday, manager Mike Matheny has loaded his lineup with right-handed bats. Both Jason Heyward and Matt Carpenter will start the game on the bench, despite the fact that both men are hitting over .300 against southpaws this season. In fact, Heyward. is hitting better against lefties than righties (.368 vs. .196). 

Randal Grichuk will man right field and Pete Kozma is handling third base on Tuesday. Kolten Wong is the only left-handed bat in Matheny's starting lineup.

Marlins center fielder Marcell Ozuna is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks. Ozuna missed Monday's game due to personal reasons, but will only miss the one game.

Ozuna has been struggling at the plate recently with just eight hits in his last 35 at-bats. His return to the lineup puts Ichiro Suzuki back on the bench for Tuesday's game. 

Tigers left fielder Yoenis Cespedes is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

Cespedes bent his thumb back while making a defensive play on Saturday but was back in the lineup Sunday. However, he'll get a break Monday, with Rajai Davis taking over in left field.

Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna has gone home for personal reasons and will not play against the Diamondbacks, according to MLB.com.

Ozuna was scheduled to bat fifth and play center field for Miami. Ichiro Suzuki will start in center as Ozuna may need a day or so to deal with the personal issue. Suzuki will bat eighth. He is hitting .276 with three home runs and 11 RBI in 134 at-bats this season.

Marlins first baseman Justin Bour will bat fourth in the lineup on Monday against the Diamondbacks, the first time he has done so this year, the team announced.

Bour, who will make just his fifth start of the year, will replace Michael Morse at first. Marcell Ozuna, the normal cleanup hitter, will slide down to fifth.

"Putting Justin there, putting him in the four hole," manager Dan Jennings said to Fox Sports Florida. "Trying to create some left, right leverage in the lineup. Let's see what happens. As I told these guys. There are 13 position players that are going to be utilized. We'll get guys days off, we'll use the bench, we'll rest our regulars. We all need to be ready to contribute when the bell rings.

J.T. Realmuto also returns to the lineup on Monday after getting the day off Sunday.

The Marlins are currently the favorites (-122) against Arizona.
