Hernandez isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona.

Hernandez went 0-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored during his return from the IL on Monday, and the Dodgers will sit him down Tuesday as he eases his way back into MLB action. While he rests, Michael Conforto, Enrique Hernandez and Andy Pages will start across Los Angeles' outfield.

Chapman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chapman will get a breather Tuesday after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Monday's series opener. He'll be replaced at third base by Casey Schmitt, who will bat seventh against Royals starter Michael Lorenzen.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Lopez started the past two games after being reinstated from the injured list Sunday and went 2-for-8 with a homer and four RBI. He'll receive a breather for Tuesday's contest while Ronny Simon gets the starting nod at second base.

Suarez isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Tuesday will mark Suarez's second absence from the starting lineup this season. The third baseman was still able to log a plate appearance during his first breather April 20 versus the Cubs. With the 33-year-old on the bench Tuesday, Jordan Lawlar is starting at the hot corner and batting ninth.

Anderson was promoted from the Arizona Complex League to Single-A Carolina on Tuesday.

Among age-appropriate prospects, Anderson was arguably the best position player in the ACL, as he slashed .333/.467/.750 with three home runs and three steals in 10 games. His 17.8 percent walk rate and 20 percent strikeout rate portend more success at Single-A, where he'll be joining a loaded Mudcats roster. Anderson played eight games in center field and one game in right field while in Arizona.

The Pirates selected Mattson from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

The right-hander will take the roster spot of Colin Holderman, who was placed on the injured list Tuesday due to a thumb injury. Mattson gave up three earned runs in 5.1 frames with Pittsburgh last year and has a 2.33 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB over 19.1 innings this season with Indianapolis.

The Pirates transferred Gonzales (ankle) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-handed reliever Isaac Mattson, who was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis. Gonzales is on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis and should be ready to go when first eligible for activation May 27.

The Pirates placed Holderman on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to thumb inflammation, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

It's unclear when exactly he suffered the injury, but Holderman had been torched for five runs over his last two appearances. Isaac Mattson will absorb Holderman's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Tuesday that Gibaut (shoulder) is on track to be activated from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Gibaut has been shelved since late April with a right shoulder impingement but has made four scoreless rehab appearances without any setbacks. He will return to a middle-relief role.

The Cubs recalled Roberts from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

Roberts is back in the majors after the Cubs placed Porter Hodge (oblique) on the 15-day injured list. Roberts has appeared in nine games for Chicago this season, posting a 5.40 ERA and 6:2 KBB across 8.1 innings of work out of the bullpen.
