Dustin Harris LF | SD
Padres' Dustin Harris: Sitting against lefty
Harris is not in Tuesday's starting lineup against Colorado.
Despite riding a modest four-game hitting streak, Harris will rest as the Rockies send southpaw Kyle Freeland to toe the slab Tuesday. Samad Taylor will man left field and bat eighth for San Diego.

Tommy Troy LF | ARI
Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Dispatched to Reno
The Diamondbacks optioned Troy to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.
Troy went just 1-for-8 with a run scored and three strikeouts in six games after coming off the injured list Sept. 6 and will now move back to the minors to make room for Jesus Sanchez, who was claimed off waivers from Toronto. Barring an injury to one of Arizona's position players, Troy is likely to play out the rest of the season at Reno.

James Wood RF | WAS
Nationals' James Wood: Taking seat Tuesday
Wood is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.
After spending a month on the IL due to an oblique injury, Wood returned on Sept. 2 and started the past 10 contests. He's gone 11-for-37 (.297 average) with three doubles, four steals, two RBI and two runs since being activated, but he has seen his home-run drought extend to 18 games. Andres Chaparro is batting second as the designated hitter Tuesday for Washington.

Joshua Baez LF | STL
Cardinals' Joshua Baez: Absent from St. Louis lineup
Baez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.
Baez has been getting extra days off lately, as this is the third time he's been absent from the lineup over the Cardinals' last seven contests. It's possible the club wants to ensure he retains rookie eligibility in 2027, and in order to do that, Baez must remain under 130 at-bats (he's currently at 96). Bryan Torres will play left field for St. Louis on Tuesday.

Jose Fermin LF | STL
Cardinals' Jose Fermin: Back in action Tuesday
Fermin (undisclosed) will start at third base and bat ninth in Tuesday's contest versus the Giants.
Fermin was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the White Sox with an undisclosed injury, and he did not see any action during Monday's series opener versus the Giants. However, the 27-year-old feels well enough to give it a go Tuesday as the Cardinals look to take the series.

Blake Dunn CF | CIN
Reds' Blake Dunn: Needs another elbow surgery
Dunn will have ulnar nerve transposition surgery on his right elbow Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
Dunn was already out for the season following internal brace surgery in August, and he's now set to undergo an additional operation on his elbow. The first surgery left Dunn a question mark for Opening Day next year, and it's possible Wednesday's procedure lengthens his timeline.
