  • Luis Arraez 2B | PHI

    Giants' Luis Arraez: Rare day off Tuesday

    Arraez is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Kansas City.

    It's a rare breather for Arraez, who had started each of the previous 20 contests. Christian Koss will grab a start at second base for the Giants in Arraez's stead.

  • Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Out of Dodgers' lineup

    Rushing is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Philadelphia.

    Rushing started Monday's series opener but will retreat to the bench for the second game of the three-game set. Eliezer Alfonzo will take over behind the plate for the Dodgers.

  • Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Day off amid rough patch

    Hernandez is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Philadelphia.

    Hernandez has managed a lowly .125/.194/.196 batting line in 16 contests since coming off the injured list in late June. Alex Call will patrol left field for the Dodgers while Hernandez gets a reset.

  • Eddy Yean RP | WAS

    Nationals' Eddy Yean: Back in majors

    The Nationals recalled Yean from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

    The right-hander received his first promotion to the majors July 5 and made his debut that day versus Pittsburgh, firing two scoreless frames before returning to Rochester. Yean has pitched to a 3.35 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 47:20 K:BB across 43 innings for Rochester this year, and it may not take much for him to stick around Washington's bullpen given the immense struggles the unit has gone through this year.

  • Nationals' Justin Lawrence: Designated for assignment

    The Nationals designated Lawrence for assignment Tuesday.

    Lawrence was a waiver claim in late June and allowed three runs with a 6:7 K:BB over 6.1 innings with the Nationals. The righty holds a 7.34 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 43:28 K:BB across 34.1 frames between the Nats, Twins and Pirates this season, and this is the third time since late May that he's been designated for assignment.

  • Daniel Duarte RP | NYM

    Mets' Daniel Duarte: Up with big club

    The Mets recalled Duarte from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

    Duarte logged five scoreless innings covering three relief outings earlier this season for the Mets. He's been less effective at Syracuse with a 4.75 ERA and 30:17 K:BB over 30.1 frames, but the 29-year-old will provide the Mets with a rested bullpen arm.

  • Xzavion Curry RP | NYM

    Mets' Xzavion Curry: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Mets optioned Curry to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

    After going two innings Saturday, Curry tossed 47 pitches over 2.2 frames in Monday's loss to the Brewers. He'll be replaced on the roster by Daniel Duarte, who gives the Mets a fresh bullpen arm.

  • Robert Stock SP | NYM

    Mets' Robert Stock: Debuts for Triple-A club

    Stock (shoulder) struck out three and allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks across four innings Saturday in his 2026 debut for Triple-A Syracuse after being reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

    While pitching for Team Israel in the World Baseball Classic back in March, Stock experienced shoulder discomfort and was later diagnosed with symptoms consistent with thoracic outlet syndrome. The 36-year-old later underwent surgery to address the condition, and he made rapid progress from a procedure that often entails a 3-to-6-month recovery. He kicked off a rehab assignment June 19 and received the green light to join the Syracuse rotation coming out of the All-Star break after he logged a 2.38 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 17:1 K:BB in 11.1 innings over his five outings with High-A Brooklyn.

  • Mike Tauchman CF | NYM

    Mets' Mike Tauchman: Cleared for action at Double-A

    Triple-A Syracuse reinstated Tauchman (knee) from its 60-day injured list Tuesday and assigned him to Double-A Binghamton.

    Tauchman joined the Mets for spring training as a non-roster invitee and appeared to have a decent shot at winning a reserve outfield job on the Opening Day squad before his roster bid ended when he suffered a torn meniscus March 21. Now just under four months removed from surgery, Tauchman has been cleared to join one of the Mets' upper-level affiliates after he went 4-for-22 with a 7:4 BB:K across eight rehab games between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A St. Lucie. He should eventually move up to Syracuse, but Tauchman could face an uphill battle to earn a call-up to the big club unless the Mets' outfield depth is tested by injuries.

  • Braves' Mike Yastrzemski: Activated from injured list

    Atlanta activated Yastrzemski (elbow) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Yastrzemski required just a minimum 10-day absence as he dealt with left elbow inflammation. He skipped a rehab assignment and will receive regular reps in the outfield for Atlanta against right-handed pitching.
