Hoskins is not in Milwaukee's starting lineup against San Francisco on Tuesday.

Hoskins will begin Tuesday's game in the dugout while Jake Bauers starts at first base and bats sixth against Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks. Hoskins has slashed .375/.459/.688 with one stolen base, six runs scored, three home runs and nine RBI in 37 plate appearances over his last 10 games.

Ortiz is not in the Brewers' starting lineup against the Giants on Tuesday.

Ortiz will take a seat after going 1-for-18 with two runs scored over his last five games. Vinny Capra will start at shortstop and bat seventh against Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks.

Valdez (shoulder) will start at first base and bat fourth Tuesday against the Angels.

Valdez injured his shoulder during Saturday's contest on a slide into third base, but he appeared as a pinch hitter Sunday and is now back in the starting nine. The 26-year-old is slashing .244/.346/.467 with nine RBI and five runs across 52 plate appearances since the start of April.

Wade is not in the Giants' lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

Wade will get some rest Tuesday as the Brewers send lefty Jose Quintana to the mound. The first baseman started off the series against the Brewers on Monday going 1-for-3 with a walk. With the 31-year-old on the bench, David Villar has the start at first base and is batting seventh.

Yastrzemski is not in the Giants' lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

Yastrzemski will begin Tuesday's game on the bench with the Brewers sending southpaw Jose Quintana to the mound. The veteran outfielder also sat out Sunday's game against the Angels due to a left-hander starting, but he did play in Monday's series opener against the Brewers in which he reached base three times across four plate appearances. With the 34-year-old on the bench Tuesday, Luis Matos is starting in right field and batting sixth.

Conforto is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Conforto started the previous 11 contests, including one game against a left-handed starter, but he'll head to the bench Tuesday with lefty Shota Imanaga pitching for Chicago. The veteran outfielder has gone 5-for-37 (.135 average) during that 11-game span, so it could be a good time for a day off. Enrique Hernandez is starting at second base, which pushes Tommy Edman to center field and Andy Pages to left.

Kelly is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Dodgers.

Kelly went 0-for-4 in Sunday's contest but has been one of the biggest stories in baseball early this season with six homers and a 1.502 OPS through 49 plate appearances. The 30-year-old and Miguel Amaya continue to split playing time behind the plate, however, with Amaya getting the start Tuesday.

Manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday that Marsh (hamstring) will likely begin a rehab assignment Thursday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Marsh has been sidelined for nearly a week due to knee/hamstring issues, but he was able to run around the bases Tuesday without any problems. Now that he seems to be recovered, the plan is for him to rest Wednesday before heading to one of the Phillies' minor-league affiliates to play in a few rehab games. Barring any setbacks, he seems to be on track to return from the IL when eligible Sunday.

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

It's left-hander Kris Bubic on the bump for the Royals, so the lefty-hitting Veen will begin the contest on the bench. The rookie outfielder has now started two of four games versus lefties and eight of nine contests against righties since being called up. Jordan Beck, Mickey Moniak and Sean Bouchard will be in the outfield for the Rockies to begin Tuesday's series opener.

Doyle (personal) was not activated from the bereavement list prior to Tuesday's game in Kansas City.

Doyle shared on his Instagram account Sunday that he and his wife lost their unborn baby. He has missed the minimum three games while on bereavement, and the Rockies will give him as much time away from the club as he needs during this difficult period.
