  • Astros' Alonzo Tredwell: Dealing with shoulder injury

    Tredwell is sidelined with a strained shoulder and is without a timetable to return, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline

    Tredwell missed the last two months of 2024 with a shoulder strain but returned to hurl a career-high 100 innings in 2025 across Single-A, High-A and Double-A. The 23-year-old righty logged a 3.18 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB in 22.2 innings at Double-A to close last year.

  • Michael Harris CF | ATL

    Braves' Michael Harris: Taking seat Tuesday

    Harris is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

    Harris started the first 11 games of the season but will get his first day off Tuesday. He began the campaign with a homer Opening Day and a three-hit showing in the second game, but he's batting just .143 (5-for-35) across the past nine contests. Eli White is receiving the start in center field Tuesday for Atlanta.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Idle Tuesday

    Bailey isn't in the lineup Tuesday versus Philadelphia.

    Bailey went 1-for-4 in the series opener against the Phillies on Monday, but he will get a chance to rest Tuesday. In his place behind the plate, Daniel Susac will start and bat eighth.

  • Giants' Harrison Bader: Sitting Tuesday

    Bader isn't in the lineup Tuesday versus Philadelphia.

    Bader has not hit well to begin 2026 and will get an opportunity to reset on the bench Tuesday. The outfielder has gone hitless in the majority of the games played so far and has yet to have a multi-hit game. Jared Oliva has the start in center field and is batting ninth in Bader's absence.

  • Ryan Forcucci SP | HOU

    Astros' Ryan Forcucci: Nearing pro debut

    Forcucci (elbow, lower back) should be ready to pitch for an Astros affiliate sometime in April, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline reports.

    Forcucci was on the mend from Tommy John surgery when the Astros drafted him in the third round in 2024, and he has yet to make his return from that injury. Callis also notes a lower-back injury for Forcucci, so it's possible his arm is fully recovered and it's his back that is delaying his pro debut at this point. Forcucci carries immense durability risk, but he had a monster upper-90s fastball in college and he could generate buzz in dynasty leagues once he returns to game action.

  • Jung Hoo Lee RF | SF

    Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: On bench Tuesday

    Lee isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus Philadelphia.

    Lee is receiving his first rest day after getting off to rough start to 2026, going 2-for-16 in the last five games. Jerar Encarnacion gets the start in right field, batting seventh in Lee's place Tuesday.

  • Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Remaining on bench Tuesday

    Carpenter (illness) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

    The 29-year-old was held out of the lineup Monday due to a stomach bug and will sit Tuesday for a second consecutive game. Carpenter should continue to be considered day-to-day as he recovers from the ailment.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Resting Tuesday

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

    Correa is slashing .283/.360/.489 against southpaws since 2024, but he'll step out of the lineup Tuesday despite left-hander Kyle Freeland taking the mound for Colorado. Isaac Paredes will man the hot corner instead and bat fourth.

  • Ethan Pecko SP | HOU

    Astros' Ethan Pecko: Begins rehab assignment

    Pecko (thoracic outlet syndrome) struck out four over two scoreless innings Saturday in a rehab start for Single-A Fayetteville.

    Pecko was missing in action during spring training, and now we know why, per Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline. It's encouraging to see Pecko dominate in his first rehab start -- he allowed two hits and zero walks -- and if he can eventually get back up to speed at Triple-A, he could still be a big-league rotation option later this summer.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Starting as DH

    Schmitt (back) is batting sixth as the designated hitter versus the Phillies on Tuesday.

    Schmitt has been absent from the lineup since being scratched Friday due to back tightness. While the game Tuesday will be his first action since he went 3-for-3 last Thursday, Schmitt will not be fielding at first base as he eases back in.
