Varsho is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Mariners, per Chandler Rome of The Athletic.

For the second straight game, Varsho will exit the starting nine. The Astros will send out Brice Matthews to center field, and he will bat ninth against Logan Gilbert on Tuesday.

The Giants placed Tidwell on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a high-grade UCL sprain, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Tidwell made an early exit from what will be his final start of 2026 on Monday after injuring his elbow. He is still in the process of exploring all of his options, but there is a chance the 25-year-old righty undergoes Tommy John surgery, which would almost certainly rule him out for the entire 2027 campaign as well. Braxton Roxby was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Roupp has been shut down for the remainder of the 2026 season, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Roupp revealed Tuesday that his season is done after having blown by his previous career high in innings. His innings count in 2025 was 106.2, and he was able to up that to 155 in 2026. The right-hander is feeling fine, but he doesn't want to push it with the Giants' season about wrapped up. The 28-year-old's last appearance of the year was Sept. 14 against the Cardinals, when he took the loss after giving up two runs across 4.1 innings.

Stewart will serve as the opening pitcher during Tuesday's game against the Padres, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Stewart will be making his first start in the big leagues since 2018 as the Dodgers lean on their bullpen to make it through Tuesday's series opener. The 34-year-old has been less effective than usual in September, allowing four runs (three earned) while striking out five batters and walking one over 5.2 innings.

Klein (elbow) threw live batting practice Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Klein is on the 60-day injured list and won't be able to come back from the injured list before the regular season ends. However, his return to facing hitters is an encouraging sign that he may be activated when eligible Sept. 30 to contribute toward the Dodgers' pursuit of a third consecutive World Series title.

MRI results on Munoz's right knee came back negative Tuesday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Imaging on Munoz's knee didn't reveal any significant issue, and he could be available to pitch in Tuesday's game against the Astros if he responds well to pregame treatment. Otherwise, Gabe Speier and Jose Ferrer would likely be the Mariners' top high-leverage options.

Tucker (knee/shin) is in the lineup for Tuesday's game against San Diego, per Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA.

After missing Sunday's series finale against the Giants, Tucker will return to the starting nine for Tuesday's series opener with the Padres. The 29-year-old will bat fifth and man right field for the Dodgers.

Cortes is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.

The Angels have southpaw Yusei Kikuchi starting on the mound Tuesday, so the left-handed bat of Cortes will be out of the lineup to begin the game. The Athletics' starting outfielders Tuesday are Henry Bolte, Denzel Clarke and Lawrence Butler.

McNeil is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.

The left-handed bat of McNail is on the bench as the Angels send southpaw Yusei Kikuchi to begin the game on the mound Tuesday. Tommy White is in the lineup at first base and Joshua Kuroda-Grauer is at second base.

Williamson (hamstring) will start at second base and bat sixth during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Williamson was scratched from the lineup for Game 1 due to hamstring soreness but seems to be feeling well enough to play in the nightcap after a few extra hours of rest. The 25-year-old spent about six weeks on the injured list due to hamstring problems before returning Sunday. He went 0-for-3 in his first game back.
