Brady House 3B | WAS
Nationals' Brady House: Yielding to Vivas again Tuesday
House is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.
House started against a lefty Sunday after being recalled from Triple-A Rochester, but he'll now sit out a second straight day versus a righty. While the 23-year-old might not be in a strict short-side platoon with Jorbit Vivas, it seems the left-handed-hitting Vivas is the preferred option at third base versus righties.

Ty Harvey C | SD
Padres' Ty Harvey: Back in action at Single-A
Harvey (finger) has gone 0-for-6 with three walks, one stolen base and one run in two games for Single-A Lake Elsinore since being activated from the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Harvey had been on the shelf since May 26 after fracturing a finger on his left hand. The 20-year-old catcher has been limited to just 17 games with Lake Elsinore this season due to injury but has been productive when available, slashing .302/.448/.396 with five doubles and six stolen bases.

Austin Warren RP | NYM
Mets' Austin Warren: Cleared for rehab assignment
Warren (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A St. Lucie on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Warren has been cleared to test things out in games after missing the past three weeks of action with a right forearm strain. He'd been effective before getting hurt, holding a 2.45 ERA and 36:16 K:BB over 33 innings. Warren shouldn't need too many rehab outings before being reinstated to the active roster.

Taylor Walls SS | TB
Rays' Taylor Walls: Returning to lineup Tuesday
Walls (fingers) will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Tuesday's game versus the Rangers.
Walls missed four games with two hyperextended fingers on his left hand, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Tuesday's series opener. The slick-fielding, light-hitting shortstop is slashing just .223/.313/.296 with zero home runs and 15 stolen bases for the Rays this season.

Camilo Doval RP | PIT
Yankees' Camilo Doval: Getting fewer high-leverage looks
Over his past 22 appearances, Doval has just one hold and no saves while posting a 3.98 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB over 20.1 innings.
Doval collected three holds and a save over his first 21 appearances this season, but that came with three blown saves and a 5.40 ERA. Since then, the right-hander has been bypassed in high-leverage situations on numerous occasions, though he's still mostly been deployed in the final three innings of contests. Doval entered the campaign with at least 16 saves in four straight seasons and registered a career-high 10 regular-season holds last year, but he's become a lower-leverage option in 2026, significantly denting his value even in saves-plus-holds fantasy leagues.

Christian Scott SP | NYM
Mets' Christian Scott: Tuesday's game postponed
Scott won't pitch as scheduled Tuesday against Atlanta since the game was postponed due to forecasted inclement weather.
The game will be made up via a doubleheader Wednesday, and Scott will presumably take the mound in one of those contests. The 27-year-old righty has yet to complete six frames in any of his 14 starts this season, but he's still been effective with a 3.13 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 78:29 K:BB over 63.1 innings.

Chris Sale SP | ATL
Braves' Chris Sale: Game postponed Tuesday
Sale won't pitch as scheduled Tuesday against the Mets since the game was postponed due to forecasted inclement weather.
The contest will be made up via a doubleheader Wednesday, with Sale likely to start one of those contests. In two starts since the All-Star break, the veteran left-hander has given up just three runs on seven hits with a 17:1 K:BB across 13 innings.

Esmerlyn Valdez RF | PIT
Pirates' Esmerlyn Valdez: Avoids fracture
Valdez was diagnosed with a bruised left hand after medical testing Tuesday showed no fractures, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
After being hit by a pitch on the left hand Monday against the Diamondbacks, the 22-year-old underwent a "battery" of tests Tuesday and appears to have avoided a serious injury. Valdez should be considered day-to-day, though it's unclear if he'll be able to rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's contest.

J.T. Ginn SP | ATH
Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Completes bullpen session Monday
Ginn (finger) threw a bullpen Monday and is scheduled to throw another one Wednesday, per MLB.com.
Ginn landed on the injured list last week due to a blister on his right middle finger, but he shouldn't remain shelved much longer. The right-hander is eligible to return Aug. 3, and provided he comes out of Wednesday's session with no issues, the 27-year-old could reclaim his spot in the rotation as soon as Aug. 4 against the Reds. In 109.1 innings (22 appearances) this season, Ginn owns an 8-6 record with a 3.46 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 100:49 K:BB.
