  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Diagnosed with torn meniscus

    The Giants placed Schmitt on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left knee meniscus tear.

    The 27-year-old faces the possibility of being shut down for the season, even if the severity of the tear isn't a worst-case scenario. In a corresponding move, the Giants selected Osleivis Basabe from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

  • Hunter Dobbins SP | STL

    Cardinals' Hunter Dobbins: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Cardinals optioned Dobbins to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

    Dobbins gave up four earned runs in 5.1 innings while serving in a piggyback role Monday, and he'll now head back to Triple-A to make room in the bullpen for Peter Strzelecki. Despite a poor showing Monday, Dobbins still owns a 3.74 ERA through 33.2 innings in the majors and could potentially rejoin St. Louis' rotation soon if the Cardinals unload another starter before the trade deadline.

  • Astros' LaMonte Wade: On bench Tuesday

    Wade is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.

    The left-handed-hitting Wade is sitting as the Angels send southpaw Reid Detmers to the mound. Zach Dezenzo, Taylor Trammell and Cam Smith are the starting outfielders Tuesday for the Astros.

  • Yainer Diaz C | HOU

    Astros' Yainer Diaz: Idle again Tuesday

    Diaz is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.

    Diaz is absent from the lineup for the second straight game after sitting in Monday's 6-4 win over the Angels. Christian Vazquez has catching duties again and is batting ninth Tuesday.

  • Cardinals' Peter Strzelecki: Added to bullpen

    The Cardinals selected Strzelecki's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

    After signing a minor-league deal with the Cardinals on Saturday, Strzelecki will now grab a spot in the big-league bullpen, filling the roster spot vacated by Hunter Dobbins. Strzelecki hasn't pitched in the majors since 2024, but he posted a 3.94 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 38:6 K:BB in 32 innings between the Yankees' and Brewers' Triple-A affiliates.

  • Angel Martinez LF | CLE

    Guardians' Angel Martinez: On bench for nightcap

    Martinez isn't in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Reds.

    After going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts to start the day, Martinez will move to the bench to begin the second half of Tuesday's festivities. His absence will put Chase DeLauter in right field and Jose Ramirez at DH, allowing Gabriel Arias to start at third base.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: On bench for series opener

    Crawford is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

    Crawford is taking a seat after playing in the last three games of a four-game series versus the Rangers that concluded Monday. He went 2-for-10 with two RBI and a double in the three games. With the 31-year-old sitting Tuesday, Weston Wilson has the start at third base and is batting eighth.

  • Connor Wong C | BOS

    Red Sox's Connor Wong: Resting Tuesday

    Wong isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

    Wong will rest his legs after going 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored during Monday's series opener. Carlos Narvaez will handle catching duties and bat ninth Tuesday.

  • Luke Raley RF | SEA

    Mariners' Luke Raley: Sitting vs lefty

    Raley is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

    The Dodgers have southpaw Justin Wrobleski on the mound Tuesday, so the left-handed-hitting Raley will take a seat. Dominic Canzone is starting in right field for Raley, while Rob Refsnyder is getting a turn as the designated hitter.

  • Nick Sogard 2B | BOS

    Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Set to return to majors

    The Red Sox are expected to recall Sogard from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

    With Curtis Mead set to miss extended time due to a fractured wrist, Sogard will rejoin the big club to help replenish Boston's infield depth. The 28-year-old can cover all four infield positions and has slashed .257/.350/.371 across 41 major-league plate appearances this season, though he doesn't have a clear pathway to regular playing time.
