The Padres recalled Batten from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old has been with Triple-A El Paso since late April but will join the Friars on Tuesday as Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) heads to the injured list. Batten should serve as a depth infielder while up in the big leagues and likely won't see regular at-bats.

The Padres placed Kim on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation.

Kim received somewhat favorable MRI results after he jammed his shoulder during Sunday's game against Colorado, but the team ultimately decided to put him on the shelf after further evaluation. Tyler Wade will presumably take over as the Padres' primary shortstop while Kim is out, and Matthew Batten will come up from Triple-A to provide additional depth in the infield.

Bailey (side) isn't in the Giants' lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bailey was a late scratch from Monday's lineup due to right side tightness. While the Giants believe his injury is relatively minor, they'll send the 25-year-old backstop in for an MRI just to be safe, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. In the meantime, Curt Casali will start behind the plate and bat ninth Tuesday.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Rojas started the previous five games and will receive a day off after going 7-for-17 with a double, two RBI and three runs during that stretch. Tommy Edman will shift to shortstop while Kevin Kiermaier starts in center field.

Kim (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The 28-year-old jammed his right shoulder during Sunday's contest and received somewhat favorable MRI results Monday, but he'll sit Tuesday for the second consecutive. It remains to be seen if Kim will require a trip to the injured list as he continues to be evaluated. Tyler Wade is receiving another start at shortstop Tuesday for the Friars.

Perkins (calf) will take batting practice Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Assuming Perkins is able to avoid any setbacks, the plan is for him to return to the Brewers ahead of Thursday's series finale against the Cardinals. With Christian Yelich (back) set to miss the rest of the season, the 27-year-old Perkins will have more opportunities to start in Milwaukee's outfield, likely filling in for Sal Frelick or Garrett Mitchell against left-handed starters.

Paredes (shoulder) will start at third base and bat fifth against the Tigers on Tuesday.

Right shoulder discomfort caused Paredes to be scratched from Chicago's lineup ahead of Sunday's contest, though he was able to make a pinch-hit appearance. After an extra day of rest Monday, the 25-year-old infielder now appears to be fine and will look to turn things around after going 0-for-12 across his last four games.

Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Tuesday's game against Texas.

With southpaw Cody Bradford set to toe the slab for the Rangers, the lefty-hitting Tellez will take a seat on the bench to begin Tuesday's game. Connor Joe will cover first base for the Pirates instead while batting fourth.

The Nationals promoted Stuart from Double-A Harrisburg to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

Stuart will join the Triple-A rotation as a replacement for Brad Lord (hand), who was placed on the 7-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old right-hander earned the bump to Rochester based on merit, as he had logged a 2.08 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 21.2 innings over his four starts with Harrisburg since joining the Washington organization after being acquired from the Mets at the trade deadline.

D'Arnaud is still feeling pain in his wrist and is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

D'Arnaud was hit by a pitch in the wrist Saturday and was held out of Sunday's game due to the issue. While he carries a day-to-day designation, the catcher is still experiencing soreness. Sean Murphy will be behind the dish and bat fifth Tuesday.
