  • Brenton Doyle CF | CHW

    Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Exits early Tuesday

    Doyle was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rangers with an apparent injury, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    Doyle seemed to be a little shaken up after landing awkwardly on his left side/shoulder while attempting to make a diving catch in the first inning, and he was replaced on defense at the start of the second frame. The severity of his injury is unclear, but if he's forced to miss additional games, Tyler Freeman could receive more reps in the outfield.

  • Padres' Ramon Laureano: Sitting Tuesday

    Laureano is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Laureano has a .454 OPS and 37 percent strikeout rate through 16 games in May and will head to the bench after starting the previous five contests. Gavin Sheets will shift to left field while Ty France picks up a start at first base Tuesday.

  • Rockies' Sterlin Thompson: Back in minors

    The Rockies optioned Thompson to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

    Thompson went 1-for-8 with a strikeout after receiving his first call-up to the majors Friday. He'll now be pushed back to the minors as a result of Tyler Freeman's return from paternity leave, but Thompson is a candidate to return to Colorado later in the year. The 24-year-old outfielder has slashed .344/.491/.496 with four homers, 27 RBI, 27 runs scored and eight steals across 36 games at Triple-A.

  • Pirates' Jhostynxon Garcia: Recalled, batting sixth Tuesday

    The Pirates recalled Garcia from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

    The move was reported Monday and has now been made official. Garcia is starting in right field and batting sixth Tuesday in St. Louis in what will be his team debut. He was acquired from the Red Sox over the offseason in the Johan Oviedo trade and has slashed .205/.256/.356 with three home runs in 19 games this season with Indianapolis.

  • Nick Morabito LF | NYM

    Mets' Nick Morabito: Batting seventh in MLB debut

    Morabito will start in left field and bat seventh Tuesday versus the Nationals in his major-league debut.

    Most of the right-handed-hitting Morabito's playing time -- at least initially -- is expected to come against lefties, and he's in there Tuesday versus southpaw Foster Griffin. The rookie was promoted earlier in the day after slashing .253/.364/.390 with four home runs and 14 stolen bases across 41 contests with Triple-A Syracuse.

  • A.J. Ewing CF | NYM

    Mets' A.J. Ewing: Out of lineup against lefty

    Ewing is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

    Ewing started each of the first seven games upon his promotion, but the left-handed batter will get a day off Tuesday as the Nationals send southpaw Foster Griffin to the bump. Tyrone Taylor is covering center field for the Mets.

  • Jacob Young CF | WAS

    Nationals' Jacob Young: Held out of lineup

    Young (rib) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Mets.

    Young had to be lifted from Monday's game after being hit by a pitch in the ribs. X-rays came back negative and he's considered day-to-day. Dylan Crews is drawing a start in center field Tuesday.

  • Dylan Crews RF | WAS

    Nationals' Dylan Crews: Officially called up Tuesday

    The Nationals recalled Crews from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

    The 24-year-old's promotion was reported Monday, and he's now officially been added to the major-league roster. Crews struggled to a .632 OPS in 85 games last season and opened 2026 in the minors, but he's been hitting well at Rochester this year with five homers, seven steals and a .258/.345/.432 slash line in 177 plate appearances. He is starting in center field and batting sixth in Tuesday's contest versus the Mets.

  • Joey Wiemer RF | WAS

    Nationals' Joey Wiemer: Sent to Triple-A

    Wiemer (hand) was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

    Wiemer suffered a hand bruise during Monday's contest against the Mets and was sent for X-rays, though his move to the minors rather than the injured list indicates it isn't a serious concern. The 27-year-old has been a surprisingly productive bat for Washington this year with a .300/.410/.529 slash line in 83 plate appearances, but he's primarily filled a part-time role and will now head to Triple-A in favor of Dylan Crews.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Back in lineup at DH on Tuesday

    Acuna will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game versus the Marlins.

    Acuna was activated from the injured list ahead of Monday's series opener but did not play in the contest. He's back in there Tuesday and could be limited to DH duty for a bit as he returns from a hamstring strain. Jose Azocar is in right field for Atlanta on Tuesday.
