Lou Trivino RP | PHI
Dodgers' Lou Trivino: Opening Tuesday's contest
Trivino will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher in Tuesday's game against the Padres, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Trivino has been highly effective since joining the Dodgers on May 18, posting a 1.74 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 10.1 innings. He'll now be entrusted with the first inning or two Tuesday, after which Matt Sauer is expected to pitch in bulk relief.

Diamondbacks' Gabriel Moreno: Back in action Tuesday
Moreno (hand) is starting behind the plate and batting eighth Tuesday against the Mariners.
Moreno sat out the previous three games after being struck in the right hand by a wild pitch Friday, but he's ready to rejoin the lineup Tuesday. The 25-year-old has been on a tear at the plate in his past 15 games, as he has a .358/.393/.660 slash line with five doubles, a triple, three homers, eight RBI and 11 runs during that span.

Yilber Diaz RP | DET
Diamondbacks' Yilber Diaz: Rejoining Triple-A Reno
Diaz was promoted from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Diaz was transferred from Reno to the ACL back on May 26 as the Diamondbacks hoped to get him back on track following a rough start to the season in the Pacific Coast League, where he turned in a 7.50 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 33:31 K:BB in 30 innings over his first eight starts. He made a lone appearance in the ACL on Saturday, giving up two earned runs across two innings but striking out five and walking none. The performance was enough for Diaz to earn a return to Triple-A, though it's unclear whether he'll slot back into Reno's rotation right away.

Brewers' Christian Yelich: Taking seat Tuesday
Yelich isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
Yelich will get a chance to rest Tuesday after going 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in Monday's series opener. His absence will open a spot in the lineup for Jake Bauers to serve as Milwaukee's DH and bat fourth.

Reese McGuire C | CHW
Cubs' Reese McGuire: Enters lineup Tuesday
McGuire is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Tuesday's game against the Phillies.
With regular starter Carson Kelly mired in a 2-for-30 slump, McGuire will get a chance to start behind the plate Tuesday and face Philadelphia righty Mick Abel. McGuire is unlikely to unseat the struggling Kelly entirely, though manager Craig Counsell may look to lighten Kelly's load a bit more in an effort to get his bat hot again. Miguel Amaya (oblique) is also eyeing an early-July return from the injured list and could jump into the No. 1 catcher role when he's healthy.

Jung Hoo Lee RF | SF
Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Returns to lineup
Lee (back) is starting in center field and batting leadoff Tuesday in Colorado.
Lee was held out of the starting lineup for both games over the weekend against Atlanta due to back tightness. However, he was able appear off the bench as a pinch hitter in Saturday's contest. Daniel Johnson, who was starting in Lee's place, heads back to the bench Tuesday.

Drake Baldwin C | ATL
Braves' Drake Baldwin: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Baldwin is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.
Baldwin went 0-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in Monday's series opener and will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Sean Murphy will instead start behind the plate, and it will be the 13th straight game in which the pair has alternated starts at catcher.

Matt Sauer RP | LAD
Dodgers' Matt Sauer: Recalled from Triple-A
The Dodgers recalled Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
Sauer is expected to take on the bulk of the workload in Tuesday's game in San Diego, whether it be as a traditional starter or bulk reliever. The right-hander has collected a 3.05 ERA and 13:3 K:BB over 20.2 frames at the big-league level in 2025.

Alex Verdugo LF | SD
Braves' Alex Verdugo: Sitting again Tuesday
Verdugo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.
The 29-year-old is batting .182 (5-for-32) across his past 11 games and is on the bench Tuesday for the second time in Atlanta's past three contests. Both absences have come against right-handed pitchers -- Quinn Priester is starting Tuesday for Milwaukee -- which could signal that Verdugo is heading toward a lesser role. Eli White is starting in left field Tuesday, but he's mired in a 2-for-30 slump himself as neither outfielder is doing much offensively to maintain a regular place in the lineup.
