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.

Carrigg is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

It's the first day off for Carrigg, who had started each of the Rockies' last 13 contests upon his promotion to the big leagues. Jake McCarthy will slide over to center field and will be flanked by Mickey Moniak in left field and Tyler Freeman in right field.

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.

Marsh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Nationals.

That makes it five homers during the month of June for Marsh, who continues to serve as a key cog in the heart of Philadelphia's lineup this season. Through 282 plate appearances, the 28-year-old outfielder is slashing a strong .311/.344/.489 with 10 long balls, 36 RBI, seven stolen bases and 41 runs scored.

Wood went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Phillies.

The star outfielder scored multiple runs for the fifth time in the last 12 games as he continues to be an effective table-setter for the Nationals. Over that stretch, Wood is slashing .319/.382/.596 with four doubles, three homers, two steals, nine RBI and 12 runs, and his 70 runs on the season doesn't just lead the majors, it's 14 ahead of the second-place duo of Nick Kurtz and Brice Turang.

The Reds optioned Benson to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

He's clearing off the active roster to make room for the return of Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) from the injured list. Benson logged only 14 plate appearances in June, but he'll be in line to see regular action at Louisville.

Troy started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to St. Louis.

Troy crushed a fastball 444 feet to dead center field in the seventh inning, his third homer in 25 games. This was the third consecutive start in left field for Troy, who is in line for a regular role in starting lineups and may eventually see time in center field following the injury to Jordan Lawlar (hamstring). Lourdes Gurriel, who normally starts in left field and recently returned from a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring issue, operated as the DH for the second time in the last three contests.

Tawa started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a double in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Cardinals.

Tawa moved into the starting lineup for the first time since being recalled from Triple-A Reno over the weekend. He defended center field, which has become a hole following the injury to Jordan Lawlar (hamstring). Jorge Barrosa started there in the first two games without Lawlar on Saturday and Sunday.

McCarthy went 1-for-4 with a three-run triple in Monday's 3-2 win over Boston.

McCarthy's lone hit was the biggest of the game for Colorado, as he delivered a walk-off triple in the ninth inning with the bases loaded. The 28-year-old punched an Aroldis Chapman fastball to the opposite field that Jarren Duran struggled to field cleanly, allowing all three runners to score. McCarthy has been swinging a hot bat of late, hitting safely in each of his past seven appearances while going 11-for-30 (.367) with four extra-base hits, four RBI and five runs scored. In his first season with the Rockies, the outfielder has put together some of the best numbers of his career, slashing .294/.335/.471 with 22 extra-base hits (five homers), 31 RBI, 27 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 64 games.

Tucker left Monday's game against Minnesota with low back spasms.

After mysteriously being replaced by Alex Call in the top of the second inning, the Dodgers announced that Tucker left the game due to low back spasms. With Teoscar Hernandez and Enrique Hernandez both on the injured list, the Dodgers cannot afford another injury to their already banged-up outfield.
