Hye Seong Kim SS | LAD
Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Placed on IL with shoulder issue
The Dodgers placed Kim on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left shoulder bursitis.
Kim has been nursing the shoulder problem for more than a week, and while he was in the Dodgers' lineup Monday in Cincinnati, the team has ultimately decided it's best for the 26-year-old to rest for a bit. According to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, Kim will head back to Los Angeles to receive an injection and will be shut down for a few days, but there's optimism he won't be sidelined for too long.

Alex Freeland 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Alex Freeland: Summoned to big leagues
The Dodgers selected Freeland's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
One of the team's top prospects, Freeland earned a promotion after slashing .253/.377/.421 with 12 home runs and 17 stolen bases at Oklahoma City. The switch hitter should see some action in the infield with Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) landing on the 10-day injured list and with Tommy Edman (ankle) banged up. Freeland's stint in the majors could be short, however, as Max Muncy (knee) is due back from the injured list soon.

Lourdes Gurriel LF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Gurriel is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona.
Gurriel has gone 4-for-12 over the past three games but is without an extra-base hit since July 9 and has a .658 OPS through 20 games this month. Jake McCarthy will instead start in left field and bat sixth versus Detroit righty Casey Mize.

Tyler Stephenson C | CIN
Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Absent from lineup
Stephenson is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.
Stephenson started at catcher in Monday's series opener but will take a seat in the second contest of the three-game set. Jose Trevino will be behind the dish and bat ninth for the Reds.

TJ Friedl CF | CIN
Reds' TJ Friedl: Goes on paternity list
The Reds placed Friedl on the paternity list Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
By rule, Friedl will be away for the next 1-to-3 days while welcoming a new addition to the family. The Reds will roll out Will Benson in center field Tuesday against the Dodgers and have elevated Gavin Lux to the leadoff spot.

Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN
Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: On bench Tuesday
Suarez (finger) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.
The third baseman had X-rays on his right index finger come back negative after being hit by a pitch during Monday's contest, but it's not a surprise he's sitting Tuesday since manager Torey Lovullo said additional testing was scheduled. Suarez is arguably the top player available ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, so there's league-wide interest in his injury diagnosis. Blaze Alexander is manning the hot corner Tuesday for Arizona.
