Arroyo is not the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Guardians.

Arroyo went 1-for-4 with a RBI single and scored a run but also committed a key error at second base in a 6-5 loss during the matinee. As he rests on the bench during the second part of the twin bill, Ivan Johnson has the start at second and is batting seventh.

Swanson isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Swanson has tallied at least one base hit in six of his last seven games, but the Cubs will keep him on the bench to begin Tuesday's contest. Nico Hoerner will slide over to shortstop as a result, opening up second base for Pedro Ramirez.

Stephenson is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Guardians.

Jose Trevino is receiving catching duties and batting eighth during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader. Stephenson went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and scored a run in a Game 1 6-5 loss.

Suarez is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Guardians.

Suarez started in the first part of the doubleheader Tuesday, which was a 6-5 loss to the Guardians, and he went 0-for-4. He'll rest during the nightcap, with Sal Stewart featuring as the designated hitter and Ke'Bryan Hayes starting at third base.

Ferguson will start Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Guardians, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

It will be the first start since 2023 with the Dodgers for Ferguson, who has a 3.86 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB across 21 innings for the Reds this season. The left-hander will likely cover only an inning or two before turning things over to the Cincinnati bullpen. Jose Franco, who is serving as the 27th man for the twin bill, could operate as the bulk reliever.

Castro is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in San Diego.

Castro is getting a routine day off after starting the last nine contests. Edouard Julien will occupy second base for the Rockies on Tuesday.

Schwarber's absence from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins is due to a gastrointestinal issue, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Schwarber's omission from Tuesday's starting nine is notable since he rarely gets days off, so it's not a major surprise that he's feeling less than 100 percent. The veteran slugger should be considered day-to-day while Bryce Harper shifts to designated hitter.

Atlanta re-signed Hernandez to a one-year contract Tuesday.

Hernandez elected free agency after being booted off Atlanta's 40-man roster this past weekend, but he's now rejoined the big-league bullpen. The righty will be available in long relief.

Atlanta optioned Thomas to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

The move comes one day after Thomas was bludgeoned for 11 runs over 2.2 innings in a 78-pitch relief outing versus the Mets. His spot on the roster will be absorbed by Elieser Hernandez.

Jordan is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Jordan had started each of the previous nine tilts, but he will take a seat Tuesday. Jose Fermin is handling third base and batting eighth for the Cardinals.
