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

Vaughn was included in the lineup in the Brewers' last four games and went 3-for-13 with a pair of extra-base hits and a walk during that stretch, but all but one of those starts came against left-handed pitchers. The 28-year-old remains stuck in more of a part-time role versus righties, with Milwaukee typically prioritizing Jake Bauers at first base and Christian Yelich at designated hitter over Vaughn in those matchups.

Lopez isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Lopez will get a breather after going 2-for-5 with a homer and a double during Monday's victory. Javier Sanoja will slide over to shortstop while Lopez sits, opening up third base for Leo Jimenez.

The Dodgers designated Hernandez for assignment Tuesday.

Hernandez will lose his place on both the 26-man and 40-man rosters after turning in an 8.15 ERA and 1.75 WHIP alongside a 15:12 K:BB through 17.2 innings with the Dodgers. Wyatt Mills was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Butler is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Butler will begin Tuesday's game on the bench with the Dodgers sending left-hander Justin Wrobleski to the mound. Butler started in Monday's 9-4 loss to the Dodgers despite Los Angeles starting lefty Eric Lauer and went 0-for-3 with a walk. For Tuesday, Joey Meneses is starting in left field and Colby Thomas is starting in right field.

The Dodgers recalled Mills from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Mills owns a 2.64 ERA and 1.19 WHIP through 30.2 innings at Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he'll now return to the Dodgers to give the big club a fresh bullpen arm, replacing Jonathan Hernandez.

McNeil is not in the lineup versus the Dodgers on Tuesday.

McNeil is starting Tuesday's game from the bench while the Dodgers send southpaw Justin Wrobleski to the mound. The second baseman did not start in Monday's game either due to another lefty, Eric Lauer, starting. Joshua Kuroda-Grauer is starting at second base and is batting ninth Tuesday.

The Marlins recalled Brzykcy from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

The right-hander was optioned to Jacksonville on Friday but will quickly return to the big leagues since Anthony Bender (shin) was placed on the injured list. Bryzkcy hasn't pitched in the majors this season across his two short stints with the Marlins. He has a 3.86 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 32:19 K:BB across 30.1 innings at Triple-A.

Guerrero was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets due to back tightness.

The star first baseman departed Friday's contest against the Cubs due to a back issue, but he didn't miss any additional time until being scratched from Tuesday's starting nine. Guerrero should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated. Sean Keys will shift to first base for Toronto.

The Marlins placed Bender on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right shin stress reaction.

Bender has given up just one earned run while punching out 16 batters in 10.2 innings this month, but the Marlins will now be without his services through the All-Star break following his move to the injured list. Zach Brzykcy will come up from Triple-A to fill the opening in Miami's bullpen; meanwhile, Michael Petersen, John King and Calvin Faucher are likely to receive an uptick in high-leverage opportunities.

Manager Torey Lovullo said June 20 that Lawlar will receive further imaging on his strained right hamstring during the All-Star break to gauge his healing, Steve Gilbert MLB.com reports.

Lawlar appears to be facing a 4-to-6-week recovery timeline after he was removed from a June 19 win over the Twins when he strained the hamstring while trying to beat out a bunt single. The 23-year-old had already been shelved for just over two months earlier this season due to a fractured wrist, so the hamstring injury represents yet another major setback on the health front. Lawlar had settled in as the Diamondbacks' everyday center field prior to getting hurt, but Tommy Troy has since stepped in as the main replacement at the position.
