Adams is out of the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Adams will take a seat in the second installment of the team's three-game series with Los Angeles, giving way to Drew Millas behind the plate. Adams saw his four-game hitting streak get snapped in Monday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers, but he is still batting .300 with a homer, four RBI and two runs scored over 30 at-bats in eight games this season. He'll continue to handle the lion's share of work at catcher while Keibert Ruiz (illness) is unavailable.

Millas is starting at catcher and batting eighth in Tuesday's matchup with the Dodgers, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Millas was called up Monday to help Riley Adams handle the backstop duties while Keibert Ruiz (illness) is on the 10-day injured list. Millas has made one start with Washington this season, going 1-for-3 with a stolen base in the team's 7-1 loss to the Giants on April 10.

The Dodgers optioned Vanasco to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Vanasco threw two scoreless innings and struck out a batter during his MLB debut Monday, but he'll now return to Triple-A in favor of Kyle Hurt and Eduardo Salazar. Vanasco has been impressive since reaching Triple-A toward the end of last season and could return to Los Angeles later in the year.

The Dodgers designated Trammell for assignment Tuesday.

Since being claimed by the Dodgers on April 2, Trammell had six plate appearances and did not record a hit or walk. The outfielder joined the team when Jason Heyward went to the injured list, but this move comes as promising prospect Andy Pages gets the call up to the big-league club.

The Dodgers optioned Ramirez to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Ramirez appeared in two games after being called up on Saturday, pitching three scoreless innings while striking out one batter and walking one. He'll head back to Triple-A to make room for Kyle Hurt, who was recalled to start Tuesday's game, but Ramirez could return later in the year if the Dodgers find themselves in need of a fresh bullpen arm.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker indicated Tuesday that Albies (toe) won't require surgery but could be sidelined 2-to-3 weeks, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Snitker didn't offer an official return timetable for the All-Star second baseman's return from a fractured great toe, but it doesn't appear as though Albies is looking at an extended absence. According to David O'Brien of The Athletic, Albies was in a great deal of pain after he suffered the injury Monday and is now sporting a protective walking boot.

Freeland (shoulder) feels fine Tuesday and will have his usual throwing session before his next turn through the rotation, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

The left-hander was used as a pinch runner Monday since the Rockies have a short-handed bench, and he suffered an injury to his non-throwing shoulder on a play at the plate. Thankfully it's a minor issue and won't affect Freeland's preparation for his next start, which lines up for this weekend versus Seattle.

Guillorme will start at second base and bat eighth Tuesday against the Astros.

The 29-year-old saw his first plate appearances of the season Monday, going 1-for-3 with two strikeouts, and he's now poised for more playing time after Ozzie Albies (toe) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Guillorme could fill the large side of a platoon at second base along with David Fletcher, who replaced Albies on the major-league roster.

The Dodgers called up Pages from Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he's starting in center field and batting seventh against the Nationals on Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The continued absence of Jason Heyward (back) opens the door for Pages to receive his first taste of the majors. The 23-year-old had a .916 OPS at Double-A Tulsa last season and started 2024 strong at Triple-A with five homers and a 1.146 OPS in 15 games. Pages should primarily play the corner outfield, but he'll also receive some starts when James Outman sits against left-handed pitching, which is the case Tuesday.

Outman isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday against the Nationals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The lefty-hitting Outman will take a seat while the lefty-throwing Patrick Corbin starts Tuesday's game for the Nationals. His absence will allow Andy Pages to make his MLB debut while starting in center field and batting seventh.
