  • Jung Hoo Lee CF | SF

    Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Structural damage in shoulder

    Imaging revealed structural damage in Lee's left shoulder Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Lee landed on the injured list Monday due to a dislocated shoulder, though it appears he may be at risk of missing an extended period of time. The 25-year-old outfielder will receive a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Thursday, at which point more will be known about the duration of Lee's absence. Luis Matos has started both games in center field for the Giants since Lee went down.

  • Aaron Nola SP | PHI

    Phillies' Aaron Nola: Complete game vs. Mets

    Nola (5-2) earned the win, allowing just four hits over nine shutout innings Tuesday against the Mets. He struck out eight.

    Nola was dominant Tuesday, holding the Mets without a baserunner until the sixth inning en route to the fourth complete-game shutout of his career. It's certainly an encouraging outing for Nola, after he'd posted a subpar 5.59 ERA over his previous two starts (9.2 innings). The 30-year-old right-hander lowered his ERA to 3.10 on the season with a 1.09 WHIP and 55:15 K:BB through nine outings (58 innings). Nola's currently in line to make a second start this week Sunday at home versus the Nationals.

  • Rays' Pete Fairbanks: Available Tuesday

    Rays manager Kevin Cash said Fairbanks (finger) is available for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The right-hander was unavailable Monday due to a cut on his index finger, but he's good to go for Tuesday's contest. Fairbanks was reinstated from the injured list Saturday and delivered a scoreless frame in his lone appearance since being activated.

  • Bryan Ramos 3B | CHW

    White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Exits with quad injury

    Ramos was removed from Tuesday's game versus the Nationals due to left quad tightness.

    Ramos may have tweaked his quad while running from first to third base during the fifth inning, leading to his eventual removal in the seventh. The severity of his injury isn't immediately clear, though the White Sox may provide more details following Tuesday's twin bill.

  • Rowdy Tellez 1B | PIT

    Pirates' Rowdy Tellez: Sitting Tuesday

    Tellez isn't in the lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers.

    Tellez has recorded just one hit across his last 22 plate appearances in an eight game span. For the season, the 29-year-old currently sits below the Mendoza Line amidst this slump. In his absence, Connor Joe will start at first base and bat cleanup.

  • Mark Vientos 3B | NYM

    Mets' Mark Vientos: Promotion imminent

    The Mets will recall Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Vientos has slashed .233/.343/.400 across 35 plate appearances since being sent down to Triple-A on April 30, and he will now return to New York -- presumably forming a platoon at third base with Brett Baty. Vientos went 3-for-7 with a two-run homer during his first stint in the majors.

  • Joey Lucchesi SP | NYM

    Mets' Joey Lucchesi: Set to start Wednesday

    The Mets will recall Lucchesi from Triple-A Syracuse to start Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Lucchesi will be making his first big-league appearance of the season after posting a 2.58 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 38.1 innings in the minors. The 30-year-old southpaw found success with the Mets last season, but he will be tested in his first outing of 2024 by a Phillies lineup that boasts a .755 OPS.

  • Jack Leiter SP | TEX

    Rangers' Jack Leiter: Promoted for Tuesday's start

    The Rangers recalled Leiter from Triple-A Round Rock ahead of his start against the Guardians on Tuesday.

    The right-hander is back with Texas for his third start in the big leagues. Leiter's first two outings haven't gone particularly well, as he's given up 13 runs (11 earned) on 15 hits with a 6:3 K:BB over 7.2 innings. It may only be a spot start for the 24-year-old since Nathan Eovaldi (groin) may soon be back from the injured list.

  • Owen Miller 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Owen Miller: Returns to majors

    The Brewers recalled Miller from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

    With Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) headed for the injured list, Miller will come up from Nashville to give the Brewers additional bench depth. Miller will likely platoon with Jake Bauers at first base while Hoskins is out, though Miller's defensive versatility could allow him to make an occasional start elsewhere.

  • Ivan Herrera C | STL

    Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: On bench Tuesday

    Herrera is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.

    Since last taking a seat Thursday, Herrera has slashed .467/.556/.467 in a four game span. In his absence, Pedro Pages has the start at catcher and will bat eighth.
