Marte was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against Atlanta due to left side pain, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

With Marte removed from Tuesday's lineup, Santiago Espinal will move to third base, Spencer Steer will shift to left field and Austin Wynns will start at first base. Marte has gone 11-for-39 with two stolen bases, one home run and nine RBI over his last 10 games.

Ruiz isn't in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

After going 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored during a win in Game 1, Ruiz will take a seat on the bench to conclude Tuesday's activities. Riley Adams will catch instead for Brad Lord and bat eighth.

Bell (groin) will serve as Washington's designated hitter and bat fourth in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Bell has been out since Saturday due to a groin injury and sat out the first game of Tuesday's twin bill, but he'll return to the starting nine for the nightcap. The 32-year-old has struggled to break out of his slump to start the season, going just 3-for-19 with a homer over his last five games.

Burnes (shoulder) remains on track to make his next start Saturday against the Dodgers in Arizona, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Burnes was initially slated to make his seventh start of the season Monday, but the Diamondbacks ended up skipping his turn after he was diagnosed with right shoulder inflammation following an MRI late last week. Following the MRI, Burnes received a cortisone shot to address the shoulder issue, and the injection appears to have had the desired effect. He's scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, and if all goes well, the Diamondbacks will lock him in for a start this weekend.

Acuna isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Acuna will grab a seat on the bench for the second game in a row after going 3-for-8 during Sunday's doubleheader against St. Louis. Jeff McNeil will get the nod at second base and bat seventh.

Iglesias is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Yankees on Tuesday.

Iglesias is out of the Padres' lineup for a second straight game, with Tyler Wade starting at second base and batting ninth. Iglesias went 3-for-26 over his last eight games, which clouded his nice start to the season when he had a .298 average and .723 OPS in the first 18 games.

The Padres optioned Campusano to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Just three days after being recalled from Triple-A, Campusano will return to the minors to make room for the return of Jackson Merrill (hamstring) from the injured list. Campusano went 0-for-6 during his brief stint with the Padres, though he managed to reach base four times via walks. He'd likely return to the majors if Elias Diaz or Martin Maldonado were to miss any amount of time.

The Padres reinstated Merrill (hamstring) from the injured list Tuesday.

After spending nearly a month on the injured list due to a strained right hamstring, Merrill will rejoin the active roster and reclaim his role as San Diego's everyday center fielder. The 22-year-old went 2-for-6 with a walk and two runs scored during his two-game rehab assignment at Double-A San Antonio, and he'd been slashing .378/.415/.676 in the majors before getting injured. Luis Campusano was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The Diamondbacks optioned Henry to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Henry was recalled by Arizona on Sunday and made his lone major-league appearance against the Mets on Monday, when he tossed 2.2 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out one batter. The move makes room on the Diamondbacks' 26-man roster for Cristian Mena, who was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Henry is 0-4 in six starts with Reno, posting an 8.53 ERA, 1.89 WHIP and 25:15 K:BB across 31.2 innings.

The Diamondbacks recalled Mena from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

With Tommy Henry headed back to the minors, the Diamondbacks will call upon Mena to presumably serve as a long reliever for the big-league squad. The 22-year-old righty gave up four earned runs in three innings during his MLB debut last season, and he's turned in a 5.76 ERA through 29.2 innings in Triple-A this year.
