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

Muncy will take a seat Tuesday as southpaw Patrick Corbin prepares to start for Washington. Miguel Rojas will take over at third base while batting eighth.

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

With left-hander Patrick Corbin set to toe the slab for the Nats, the lefty-hitting Lux will stay put in the dugout to begin Tuesday's contest. Enrique Hernandez will instead pick up a start at the keystone and bat fifth.

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

After going 1-for-3 with two RBI in Monday's series opener, Smith will get a breather Tuesday despite southpaw Patrick Corbin starting on the mound for Washington. Austin Barnes will start behind the plate instead and bat ninth.

Hurt was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and will start Tuesday against the Nationals, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Hurt has given up one earned run across 6.2 career MLB innings, and Tuesday will mark his first time starting a big-league game. The 25-year-old righty has made two starts in Triple-A this season but has only been stretched out to roughly 45 pitches, so he could struggle to work deep enough into Tuesday's outing to qualify for a win. Ryan Yarbrough is expected to serve in bulk relief once Hurt is removed from the game.

Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Yastrzemski has a .368 OPS through 12 games this season and will hit the bench Tuesday as lefty Ryan Weathers starts for Miami. Austin Slater will take over in right field and bat leadoff for the Giants.

The Dodgers called up Salazar from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Salazar was in camp as a NRI and will now garner a spot on the 40-man roster, although a corresponding move in that regard has yet to be revealed. The reliever posted a 8.03 ERA in eight appearances for the Reds last season, but he was impressive at Oklahoma City early this minor-league season with a 2.87 ERA in 15.2 innings. The move comes with the Dodgers needing length for their bullpen game Tuesday versus the Nationals.

Estrada is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Estrada started the first 17 games of the season and will receive a breather Tuesday after going 7-for-16 with two doubles and two homers over the previous four games. Tyler Fitzgerald will man the keystone and bat ninth.

Candelario was scratched from the Reds' lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus Seattle due to an illness.

Candelario was reportedly feeling under the weather Tuesday, so he will sit out while he recovers. Santiago Espinal will enter the lineup as Cincinnati's replacement third baseman and bat eighth.

Wade is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Miami, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Lefty Ryan Weathers is pitching Tuesday for the Marlins, so Wade will take a seat despite his 1.220 OPS over his past nine contests. Wilmer Flores will start at first base and bat second.

Cruz, who was originally slated for a day off, is now in the Pirates' lineup and hitting seventh versus the Mets on Tuesday.

Cruz was initially not in the lineup Tuesday with southpaw Jose Quintana on the mound for the Mets, but the change in plans is a result of Ke'Bryan Hayes's late scratch for a yet-to-be-revealed reason.
