Stott is not in the lineup Tuesday against Atlanta.

Edmundo Sosa will start at second base and bat seventh as the Phillies go heavy on right-handed hitters against ace left-hander Max Fried. Stott played both halves of Monday's doubleheader and went 1-for-8 with a double, an RBI and a run scored.

Vogelbach is out of the lineup again Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Vogelbach has been sitting lately against both righties and lefties as the Mets go with younger options at designated hitter. Mark Vientos will fill the DH role and bat seventh Tuesday versus the D-backs and right-hander Ryne Nelson.

Alvarez (hand) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Alvarez sat out Monday's series opener after taking a pitch off his right hand Sunday in Minnesota, but X-rays turned up clean and he's good to go for Tuesday's tilt at Citi Field. The 21-year-old will start at catcher and bat ninth versus the Diamondbacks and right-hander Ryne Nelson.

Triple-A Indianapolis placed De Los Santos on its 7-day injured list Aug. 19 with an unspecified injury and transferred him to the 60-day IL on Aug. 28.

Though the nature of De Los Santos' injury is uncertain, the Pirates have determined that it's significant enough to keep the right-hander on the shelf for the remainder of the season. The 25-year-old turned in a 3.33 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 18:13 K:BB in 24.1 innings over 22 appearances with Pittsburgh earlier this season before being optioned to Triple-A on Aug. 8 and suffering the injury shortly thereafter. De Los Santos retains a spot on the Pirates' 40-man roster, but depending on the severity of his injury, he could be a non-tender candidate this winter.

Rivera (shoulder) is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets.

Rivera injured his left shoulder while trying to catch a ball near the stands in Monday's series opener at New York, though it's not believed to be anything serious. Jace Peterson will get the start at third base for the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Geraldo Perdomo is covering shortstop.

Lawlar is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Lawlar has gone 1-for-13 with a single and seven strikeouts since getting called up to the Diamondbacks on Thursday. He suffered a bruised hand when he was hit by a pitch Saturday but was able to return for part of Monday's series opener in Queens. Geraldo Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat ninth Tuesday as Jace Peterson covers third base and hits seventh.

Butto is listed as the Mets' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks at Citi Field.

As expected, Butto will stick around in the Mets rotation for a second turn with Carlos Carrasco (finger) having since been shut down for the season. While returning from Triple-A Syracuse last week to make the fourth big-league start of his career, Butto struck out six and gave up two earned runs in 6.1 innings while taking a no-decision against the Nationals.

Cabrera is expected to serve as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher JT Chargois in Tuesday's game in Milwaukee, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Though he hasn't started since being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville last Wednesday, Cabrera looks to be the fifth member of the Miami rotation after Sandy Alcantara (forearm) was recently placed on the injured list. In his return to the big leagues last week, Cabrera was used behind Chargois in an 11-4 win over the Dodgers, tossing four scoreless frames and striking out eight while picking up the win. Given the strong results Cabrera provided in the bulk-relief role in his last appearance, the Marlins will likely deploy him in that capacity again with the hope he can deliver a repeat performance.

Benson is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Tigers.

Benson went 3-for-4 with a homer and a double in Sunday's series finale against the Cardinals, but he'll ride the pine in Tuesday's series opener at Detroit with left-hander Joey Wentz on the bump. Benson, 25, has batted just .152/.222/.212 in 36 plate appearances versus lefties this year.

Marte (nose) remains out of the lineup Tuesday at Detroit.

Marte suffered a broken nose Saturday when he was struck in the face by a ball during pregame warmups, but he cleared the concussion protocol and apparently won't require a stay on the injured list. Nick Senzel is covering third base and batting second for the Reds on Tuesday.
