Tovar isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against San Diego.

Tovar will pick up a day off Tuesday after going 8-for-25 (.320) with a homer and seven runs scored through his first 10 games in September. Cole Carrigg will move to shortstop as a result, while Zac Veen, Jake McCarthy and Troy Johnston will start across the outfield.

Norby isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

Norby will get a chance to catch his breath Tuesday after notching six base hits in his last three games while adding two RBI and two runs. Adael Amador will cover second base while Mickey Moniak serves as the designated hitter.

Colorado optioned Castano to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Castano made five appearances with the big-league club after being called up Sept. 1. Over 6.2 innings, the 28-year-old posted a 2.70 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 4:3 K:BB. The Rockies reinstated Kyle Freeland (neck), leading to the team's removal of Castano from the active roster.

The Rockies optioned Machin to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Machin appeared in three games after being getting selected from Albuquerque on Sept. 5. He went 3-for-6 while striking out twice. He's returning to Triple-A in a corresponding move to the Rockies recalling Braxton Fulford.

Goodman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

Goodman will move to the bench for the second time in three games despite going 2-for-3 with a pair of extra-base hits and a walk during Monday's series opener. Brett Sullivan will take over at catcher and bat eighth.

The Rockies recalled Fulford from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

After being optioned back to Albuquerque on Aug. 25, Fulford went 10-for-49 with three home runs and three stolen bases across 13 games. In a corresponding move Tuesday, the Rockies optioned Vimael Machin to Triple-A.

The Phillies recalled Holman from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Holman was sent down to Triple-A on Sunday, but he'll reverse course and rejoin Philadelphia's bullpen as Jesus Luzardo (shoulder) moves to the injured list. Holman gave up five unearned runs while recording one out during his season debut Saturday and will likely be reserved for low-leverage situations.

Ford (hand/wrist) is starting behind the plate and batting seventh Tuesday against the Phillies.

The 23-year-old is making his first start since Friday, when he departed early due to pain in his left hand/wrist. Ford now appears to be fully recovered and will look to bust out of a 1-for-13 slump.

Tawa is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Marlins, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Tawa went 0-for-3 while he walked and came around to score in the series opener against the Marlins on Monday. He'll rest Tuesday as Pavin Smith starts at first base and bats eighth.

Abrams is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Abrams started Washington's first 11 games of September but will take a seat Tuesday after posting a .655 OPS during that stretch. Nasim Nunez is manning shortstop and batting ninth for the Nationals versus Philadelphia lefty Cristopher Sanchez.
