  • Mets' Harrison Bader: Not in Monday's lineup

    Bader is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    It would appear to be a routine day off for Bader, who is 5-for-26 with zero RBI in his first eight games this season. Brandon Nimmo will slide over to center field, Jeff McNeil will handle left, and Joey Wendle will get a start at second base.

  • Nick Martini DH | COL

    Reds' Nick Martini: Sits versus lefty

    Martini is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus Milwaukee.

    Martini will once again head to the bench as the Brewers send out Aaron Ashby to pitch Monday. Jonathan India will serve as the designated hitter while Santiago Espinal receives a start at second base.

  • Jake Fraley RF | TB

    Reds' Jake Fraley: Sitting against lefty

    Fraley is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    Milwaukee is opening the series with left-hander Aaron Ashby, so Fraley will hit the bench for the second straight contest. Stuart Fairchild will man center field, pushing Will Benson to right.

  • Yohan Ramirez RP | PIT

    Mets' Yohan Ramirez: Designated for assignment

    Ramirez was designated for assignment by the Mets on Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Ramirez has been blasted for seven earned runs over 5.1 innings for the Mets this season. Cole Sulser will absorb his spot in the bullpen.

  • Nick Gordon CF | BAL

    Marlins' Nick Gordon: On bench versus lefty

    Gordon is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Gordon has a .750 OPS through 20 plate appearances but will once again take a seat Monday since lefty (Nestor Cortes) is starting for the Yankees. Bryan De La Cruz will shift to designated hitter, allowing Emmanuel Rivera to start at the hot corner.

  • Jesus Sanchez DH | ARI

    Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Not starting versus lefty

    Sanchez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    The Marlins are facing a left-handed starter (Nestor Cortes) for the sixth time this season Monday, and Sanchez has been withheld from the lineup for each of those games. Avisail Garcia will once again start in right field.

  • Henry Davis C | PIT

    Pirates' Henry Davis: Taking seat Monday

    Davis is absent from the lineup for Monday's tilt versus the Tigers.

    Joey Bart will do the catching for Mitch Keller, marking Bart's second start in the last three games. Davis is just 4-for-30 so far at the plate in the early going and could continue to yield some starts to Bart if he doesn't pick it up.

  • Michael Taylor CF | CHW

    Pirates' Michael Taylor: Sitting out third straight

    Taylor is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Tigers.

    This will be the third straight game he hasn't started. Taylor is hitting .429/.438/.536 on the season, so it's possible he's dealing with some sort of injury. Jack Suwinski is center field again Monday.

  • Marlins' Jazz Chisholm: Steps out of lineup

    Chisholm is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    The 26-year-old started the first 10 games of the season but will receive Monday off against New York lefty Nestor Cortes. Chisholm has two homers, eight walks and eight RBI through 42 plate appearances but is hitting just .206. Vidal Brujan will take over in center field Monday for the Marlins.

  • Joey Gallo LF | CHW

    Nationals' Joey Gallo: Nabs steal in Sunday's win

    Gallo went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

    The 30-year-old swiped his first bag of the season, but there likely won't be too many to follow -- his career high is only seven, set back in 2017. It's been a fairly typical start to 2024 for Gallo, who's batting .179 (5-for-28) through eight games with a 6:11 BB:K, but four of his five hits have gone for extra bases including two homers.
