Sweeney felt discomfort in his right shoulder again Tuesday and is undergoing re-evaluation, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Sweeney resides on the 10-day injured list after starting the season there due to suffering a right shoulder strain at the start of camp. While it seems he was making progress, it appears a setback may have occurred with the discomfort reappearing.

Correa isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Correa is slashing .283/.360/.489 against southpaws since 2024, but he'll step out of the lineup Tuesday despite left-hander Kyle Freeland taking the mound for Colorado. Isaac Paredes will man the hot corner instead and bat fourth.

Schmitt (back) is batting sixth as the designated hitter versus the Phillies on Tuesday.

Schmitt has been absent from the lineup since being scratched Friday due to back tightness. While the game Tuesday will be his first action since he went 3-for-3 last Thursday, Schmitt will not be fielding at first base as he eases back in.

The Blue Jays placed Barger on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left ankle sprain.

Barger sustained the injury Sunday against the White Sox, and the Blue Jays initially labeled the issue as bilateral ankle discomfort. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Barger was "trending in the right direction," but the 26-year-old will still need some time on the shelf to recover. He'll be eligible to rejoin the active roster April 16.

Saggese will start in left field and bat seventh in Tuesday's game versus the Nationals.

It's the sixth straight start overall and second consecutive start in left field against a righty for the right-handed-batting Saggese. Saggese -- who turns 24 on Friday -- has yet to do much at the plate this season but reached base three times in Monday's series opener.

Turner went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Monday's 6-4 win against the Giants.

Turner has been batting leadoff every game this season for the Phillies and starting at shortstop. The two-time All-Star won the National League batting title last season but is off to a slower start in 2026 with a .279 average and only three RBI. As his power diminished last year, Turner was still a menace on the bases while ranking at the top of the sprint speed leaderboard, even while missing most of September with a hamstring injury.

Barger (ankle) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Barger will sit Tuesday for a second straight game after exiting Sunday's matchup with the White Sox due to bilateral ankle discomfort. Manager John Schneider said Monday that the 26-year-old was "trending in the right direction" but couldn't rule out the possibility of a stint on the injured list. Nathan Lukes is starting in right field Tuesday for Toronto.

Francisca is dealing with a shoulder injury and should join High-A Lake County by late April, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline reports.

The 19-year-old switch hitter took a step back in 2025 with an 88 wRC+ in 98 games at Single-A after logging a 143 wRC+ in 74 games across rookie ball and Single-A in 2024. He's still young and has above-average speed on the bases, so Francisca could bounce back once he's healthy for the Captains.

The Diamondbacks transferred Lawlar (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old was given a 6-to-8-week recovery timeline after fracturing his right wrist last week, but the move to the 60-day IL guarantees he will be on the shelf until at least early June. Prior to suffering the injury, Lawlar was off to a hot start this season, going 6-for-18 with a double, a home run and a steal across 20 plate appearances.

Adames went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and a run scored in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies.

After going 1-for-18 with three walks and an RBI over his previous five games, Adames bounced back Monday. The veteran shortstop hit a leadoff double in the third inning before coming around to score. He added another double in the ninth, marking his second multi-hit effort of the season. Over 11 games, Adames is slashing .214/.283/.381 with three RBI, three runs scored and one home run across 46 plate appearances.
