Gorman is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

The Cardinals will give the left-handed-hitting Gorman a breather while southpaw Kyle Harrison toes the rubber for Milwaukee. Gorman will be replaced at third base by Jose Fermin, who will bat fifth.

Webb (knee) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Manager Tony Vitello previously disclosed the team's plan for Webb to return this upcoming weekend, and Friday is now official. Prior to landing on the IL, Webb had posted an uncharacteristically high 5.06 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 48 innings spanning eight starts for San Francisco. Webb made a rehab start at Triple-A last Friday, allowing one unearned run on two hits and three walks while striking out two over 3.1 innings (62 pitches).

Boyd (knee) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

The veteran southpaw is ready to return to a competitive setting a little over three weeks after undergoing a menisectomy on his left knee. Boyd did not need a full repair of his meniscus, and with his assignment to Iowa for his first rehab outing, it seems possible that he will beat his initial six-week estimated return timetable. This is Boyd's second IL stint already this season, as he spent time on the shelf in April with a biceps strain.

Betts is batting cleanup and starting at shortstop Tuesday versus the Rockies.

Betts has struggled since his return from an oblique strain with a .494 OPS across 12 games since May 11. The 33-year-old hasn't quite looked like himself since 2025 after he missed games at the beginning of that season due to an illness. As his issues at the plate have continued into 2026, the Dodgers seem to be trying to shake things up with the batting order. Andy Pages has the shortstop's typical spot in the two hole.

Muncy (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

As expected, Muncy will miss a fourth consecutive start after being hit on the wrist by a pitch Friday. Manager Dave Roberts said Monday that he was hoping to have Muncy back in action Wednesday, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, though the team is also not ruling out the possibility of an IL stint if Muncy is still limited in the coming days.

Gilbert is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

The Diamondbacks are sending southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez to the mound, so the left-handed hitting Gilbert will take a seat. The Giants have Jesus Rodriguez, Harrison Bader and Victor Bericoto manning their outfield Tuesday.

Susac is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Susac went 1-for-11 in the three games he started after his last game on the bench May 22. As he rests Tuesday, Eric Haase starts behind the plate, batting eighth.

Arraez is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Arraez is taking a seat for the first time since May 6, which is when he sat due to a sore thumb. Since then, the infielder has a slashed .324/.397/.485 across 17 games. While the left-handed bat of Arraez takes a seat Tuesday, Casey Schmitt will start at second while Bryce Eldridge serves as the designated hitter.

Phillips (elbow) is facing hitters Tuesday for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Phillips had surgery on his elbow in early June 2025. Before the 2026 season began, the reliever was eyeing a return in July or August. Now facing live hitters, he appears on track for a return within that timetable.

Vientos is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Vientos will hit the bench following a stretch of 22 consecutive starts, during which he produced a .227/.253/.420 slash line with four home runs, 15 RBI and nine runs. The Mets reinstated Jared Young (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and will insert him into the starting nine at first base in Vientos' stead.
