Manager Walt Weiss said after Tuesday's game against the White Sox that Acuna is day-to-day with left hamstring tightness, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Acuna went on the injured list in early May due to a left hamstring strain, though Weiss noted that his latest injury doesn't seem to be as severe. The outfielder will undergo an MRI on Wednesday just in case. Eli White entered Tuesday's contest as Acuna's replacement and could be in line for additional starts if Acuna needs to miss another game or two.

Lopez went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one steal, one RBI and four runs scored during the Marlins' 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Lopez set a season high in runs scored Tuesday while logging two doubles for the second time in 2026. He also logged his 11th steal of the season, tied with Xavier Edwards for second most on the Marlins behind Jakob Marsee (16). Lopez is having a terrific season at the plate, leading the National League in both batting average (.341) and hits (89) while ranking fourth in both triples (three) and doubles (11).

Meyer did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five across 5.1 innings.

Both of the runs Meyer allowed came on solo home runs from Corbin Carroll and Gabriel Moreno, marking the second time this season that Meyer has given up two homers in a game. He's yielded two earned runs or fewer in 10 of 14 starts and ranks fourth in the National League in strikeouts (86) and in the top 12 in both ERA (2.85) and WHIP (1.09) across 79 innings. Meyer's next start is slated for this weekend on the road against the Pirates.

Stott went 2-for-4 with an RBI double during the Phillies' 3-2 loss to the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Stott gave the Phillies a 2-1 lead in the ninth inning when his double off Louis Varland brought Bryce Harper home, but Philadelphia was unable to close out the win. Stott has gone 8-for-29 (.276) with one steal, five RBI and four extra-base hits over his last nine games.

Wheeler did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on six hits while striking out five across six innings. He did not issue a walk.

Wheeler was locked in a pitchers' duel with Dylan Cease, with the former clinging onto a 1-0 lead through five innings before yielding a solo homer to Jesus Sanchez in the sixth. Wheeler generated 15 whiffs on 96 pitches and is up to seven quality starts in nine outings this season. He will bring a 2.22 ERA and 0.85 WHIP over 56.2 innings into his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against the Marlins.

Duran (1-3) blew the save and took the loss in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Toronto, allowing two runs on three hits while failing to record an out.

Duran was brought out to close things out after the Phillies took a 2-1 lead in the top of the ninth. The right-hander had converted each of his first 16 save chances of the season, but he did not have that same success in Toronto. The game was tied at 2-2 on a wild pitch that brought Myles Straw home before Duran yielded a walk-off single to Brandon Valenzuela. This marks the first time this season that Duran has given up multiple earned runs, and he now sits at a 2.08 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 33:5 K:BB across 21.2 innings.

Acuna exited Tuesday's contest against the White Sox in the fourth inning due to left hamstring tightness.

Acuna was busting it down the line in an attempt to secure an infield single in the top of the fourth inning, but he pulled up lame as he approached first base. The outfielder appeared to have tweaked his left leg in the process, and he was subsequently removed from the game. More information on Acuna's status will likely be provided in the near future, but in the meantime, Eli White has taken over in right field versus Chicago.

Megill wasn't available to pitch in Monday's game against the Athletics due to oblique tightness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Megill is slated to play catch before Tuesday's contest, and if all goes well, he's expected to be available to pitch. The 32-year-old gave up two earned runs during his last outing Friday against the Rockies to increase his ERA to 4.70 through 23 frames, though he still boasts a career-best 1.62 FIP.

Taillon (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined until after the All-Star break, Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Taillon landed on the 15-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Tuesday, and manager Craig Counsell outlined that the right-hander is not expected to be able to return to action until mid-to-late July. Javier Assad will likely replace Taillon in the Cubs' starting rotation in the meantime, while Shota Imanaga is now the last remaining arm from the team's Opening Day rotation that hasn't spent time on the IL this season.

Andujar (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Andujar will miss a second consecutive start Tuesday after leaving Sunday's game early due to a hamstring injury. His absence will allow Will Wagner to bat fifth while working as San Diego's designated hitter.
