Lee (elbow) will start in right field and bat fifth Tuesday against the Brewers, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Lee sat out the Giants' last two games due to elbow soreness, but he'll return to the lineup now that the issue appears to have subsided. The 27-year-old outfielder has slashed .300/.364/.500 with a homer, four RBI and five runs scored across eight games since the All-Star break.

Encarnacion-Strand is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

After making six consecutive starts at third base, Encarnacion-Strand finds himself on the bench Tuesday for a second straight game. The 26-year-old has a 1.155 OPS with three homers in seven games since getting promoted by Baltimore in mid-July, but Coby Mayo will pick up a second straight start the hot corner after homering in Monday's contest.

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.

Basallo (shoulder) will be reassessed to resume baseball activities during the Orioles' upcoming homestand, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Basallo has been shut down from all activities due to an inflamed right shoulder that sent him to the injured list last Wednesday. The Orioles will begin a series at home against Philadelphia on Friday. At that point, Basallo could be cleared to begin ramping up, and a clearer timeline for his return may be established.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that he expects Flaherty (forearm) to be on the injured list beyond the 15-day minimum, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander landed on the shelf last week due to right forearm inflammation and has already improved after receiving some treatment, but he apparently remains shut down from throwing. Flaherty will be eligible to be reinstated next week, but he can be safely ruled out until at least mid-August. Until he starts throwing again, the 31-year-old likely won't have a clear timetable for his return.

Rutschman (wrist) will be reassessed to begin baseball activities during the Orioles' upcoming homestand, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Rutschman landed on the injured list July 20 and was cleared to throw over the weekend, but he has yet to resume catching or begin any other sort of activity. The earliest he can be evaluated is Friday when the O's return to Baltimore to play the Phillies, and he will likely require a ramp-up period and a rehab assignment before returning to action.

Mountcastle (foot) is not starting a rehab assignment Tuesday night as initially planned, and he is now being re-evaluated, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The 29-year-old was expected to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday after having progressed through his recovery from a left foot fracture at a steady rate. Manager Craig Albernaz said, "Mountcastle wasn't feeling 100 percent" and explained that "to start a rehab assignment not 100 percent is not where you want to be," Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. The Orioles will likely know more about Mountcastle on Wednesday.
