Tyler Callihan RF | PIT
Pirates' Tyler Callihan: Exiting starting lineup
Callihan is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Mariners.
The left-handed-swinging Callihan has been seeing regular reps in the outfield versus righty hurlers, but he'll begin this one on the bench as the Mariners send George Kirby to the bump. Marcell Ozuna is getting a start at designated hitter while Ryan O'Hearn plays right field.

Rockies' Kyle Karros: Taking seat Tuesday
Karros is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Red Sox.
Willi Castro will get the call at third base Tuesday while Edouard Julien covers second base. Karros boasts a 1.057 OPS over his last 10 games, but this will be his third day off during that stretch.

Rockies' Cole Carrigg: First day off
Carrigg is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

DL Hall RP | MIL
Brewers' DL Hall: Hopes to be cleared to throw
Hall (pectoral) hopes to gain clearance to resume throwing during a checkup Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Hall has been sidelined for most of June with a left pectoral strain, and he was given an anti-inflammatory injection last week. If the shot did its job, Hall should be ready to resume a throwing program. The southpaw is targeting a late-July return.

Brandon Lockridge OF | MIL
Brewers' Brandon Lockridge: Timeline pushed back
Lockridge's timeline for a return has been pushed back to late July after imaging showed a chondral flap in his right patella, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Lockridge landed on the 10-day injured list in early May with a right knee laceration, but subsequent testing revealed that he also has cartilage damage. He will have arthroscopic surgery on the knee and is now expected to be shelved until after the All-Star break.

Ernie Clement 2B | TOR
Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Hip remains bothersome
Clement is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros to manage his sore left hip, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
Clement sat out of Friday's and Saturday's contests due to the injury before rejoining the lineup Monday and being scheduled to start Sunday, before that game was postponed. Manager John Schneider said he's "trying to get ahead of [the injury]" and provide the infielder some rest Tuesday since it's an afternoon game coming off a night game. Clement is still expected to be available off the bench while Luis Urias picks up a start at second base.

Coleman Crow SP | MIL
Brewers' Coleman Crow: Resuming mound work
Crow (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
It appears to be the first time Crow has thrown off the bump since he suffered a mild right flexor strain earlier this month. Crow should be ready for a rehab assignment before long, but he might be sent to Triple-A Nashville rather than rejoin the big-league club once he's deemed ready for activation.

Logan Henderson SP | MIL
Brewers' Logan Henderson: Targeting rehab start this weekend
Henderson (back) is aiming to begin a rehab assignment Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Henderson has been shelved for the past month with a lower-back strain, but he's advanced his recovery to the point that a rehab start is imminent. The right-hander will likely require multiple rehab outings before rejoining the Brewers around the All-Star break if all goes well.

Burch Smith RP | DET
Tigers' Burch Smith: Heads to 60-day IL
The Tigers transferred Smith (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.
The transaction opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Ben Malgeri, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Toledo. Smith is in the midst of a throwing progression as he works his way back from right shoulder inflammation, but his move to the 60-day IL indicates that the Tigers weren't counting on him being ready to contribute out of the bullpen before the All-Star break. He'll be eligible for activation beginning July 21.

Joey Loperfido LF | HOU
Astros' Joey Loperfido: Exiting starting nine
Loperfido is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Blue Jays.
The left-handed-hitting Loperfido had started each of the last four games against righties, but he will take a seat Tuesday as Toronto sends righty Shane Bieber to the bump. Taylor Trammell will play left field.
