The Mets placed Taylor on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left hamstring strain, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

The 31-year-old has been battling hamstring discomfort over the past few days and will now head to the IL after being diagnosed with a strain. The severity of the strain is unclear, so it remains to be seen if Taylor will be able to return after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf.

House is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Marlins.

House had started the previous two contests, but this marks his third absence from the lineup over the last five games and the fourth absence across the last eight games. The 22-year-old is slashing .213/.221/.267 with a 1:27 BB:K since the start of August. Paul DeJong will handle third base and bat eighth.

Hassell is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Hassell had made nine straight starts against right-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat Tuesday as the Marlins send righty Adam Mazur to the bump. Jacob Young is in center field and batting ninth for the Nationals.

Abreu (calf) has yet to resume running at full effort as of Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Abreu had intended to try running Monday, but he didn't receive medical clearance to do so. The outfielder still expects to resume running at some point later this week but is waiting for the go-ahead from trainers. With Abreu's recovery from a right calf strain going more slowly than anticipated, he appears unlikely to return from the 10-day injured list before the end of the week.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that May will be available out of the bullpen this week, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

The Red Sox want to keep the rest of their starting pitchers on turn following Thursday's off day, so May will be available to pitch in relief, if needed. He will rejoin the rotation next week, likely during the series against the Athletics. May has been hit or miss during his five starts with Boston, posting a 5.68 ERA and 25:11 K:BB over 25.1 innings.

Meidroth (ankle) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Minnesota.

Meidroth had to be lifted from Monday's game with a right ankle sprain. He is considered day-to-day. Lenyn Sosa will cover second base for the White Sox on Tuesday while Meidroth recuperates.

Kayfus is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Boston.

It's southpaw Garrett Crochet toeing the slab for the Red Sox, so the left-handed-hitting Kayfus will grab a seat. Kyle Manzardo is at first base and Jhonkensy Noel is in right field as the Guardians look to even the series.

Naylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.

The Red Sox are sending lefty ace Garrett Crochet to the hill, so it's a good time for the left-handed-hitting Naylor to get a breather. Austin Hedges will do the catching and bat ninth for the Guardians.

Ruiz (concussion) reported to Double-A Harrisburg to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

The 27-year-old backstop has been on the shelf nearly two months due to a concussion, but he's now been cleared for game action after clearing the concussion protocol. It's unclear how many games in the minors Ruiz will need to get back up to speed, but it's possible he's back with the Nationals as early as this weekend.

Arias (hand) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.

The expectation had been that Arias would return to action Tuesday, but instead he will miss a fourth straight start with a right hand contusion. Brayan Rocchio will again handle shortstop, while Angel Martinez will step in at second base.
