Del Castillo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Del Castillo has now started just two of the last six contests for the Diamondbacks. They've faced three lefties over that stretch, but the left-handed hitting Del Castillo has also been out of the lineup twice versus righties, including on Tuesday against Nathan Eovaldi. Jose Herrera will catch and bat ninth for Arizona.

Marte is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

The Mets continue to give Marte regular days off, as he's been out of the lineup for one game of each series since he returned from the injured list last month. DJ Stewart will play right field and bat seventh Tuesday.

The Marlins designated de Geus for assignment Tuesday.

The 26-year-old was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in late August and has now lost his place on the 40-man roster. De Geus has made 11 appearances between the Marlins and Mariners this season and has given up five earned runs with a 6:2 K:BB over nine innings.

Winn is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Winn had started every game since Aug. 12 but will receive a day of rest in the series opener. Thomas Saggese will play shortstop in Winn's place and bat seventh in his major-league debut.

Donovan (foot) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Tuesday's contest against the Reds.

Donovan was unavailable for the last two games while battling an infection in his foot, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in the series opener versus Cincinnati. It's the first time in exactly one month that Donovan has batted leadoff, as Masyn Winn is receiving a day off.

The Cardinals selected Saggese's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Brendan Donovan (foot) has been unavailable the last couple days and the Cardinals have been wanting to give Masyn Winn a little more rest, so Saggese should pick up some starts in the middle infield for St. Louis down the stretch. The 22-year-old got off to a slow start with Memphis this season but had turned it on since the beginning of July, slashing .291/.351/.524 with 12 home runs over 55 games. Saggese is starting at shortstop and batting seventh Tuesday versus the Reds in what will be his major-league debut.

The Cardinals optioned Scott to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Scott hadn't made a start over the past week after Michael Siani returned from the injured list, so the Cardinals will send him back to Memphis where he can play every day. Thomas Saggese has been called up in a corresponding move.

De La Cruz is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Marlins.

De La Cruz had started the last two games but before that had been out of the lineup five times in a 10-game span. He's sporting just a .497 OPS and 30.6 percent strikeout rate since joining the Pirates. Billy Cook will play right field and bat eighth Tuesday.

Goodman will start at catcher and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

It's his second straight start at catcher and his third start at the position over the last five contests. Seemingly, the Rockies want to find out if Goodman -- who has primarily been an outfielder during his time in the majors -- can be a legitimate option at catcher moving forward.

Doyle (finger) will start in center field and bat third in Tuesday's game versus the Tigers.

Doyle missed one game with a minor left pinky injury but is ready to roll for Tuesday's series opener. He's off to a slow start this month with just three hits in his first 21 at-bats.
