Nootbaar will start in left field and bat seventh in Tuesday's game versus the White Sox.

Each of Nootbaar's first 66 starts this season came from the leadoff spot. However, he's mired in a 1-for-32 slump with 17 strikeouts, prompting a move down to the lower third of the batting order after he was out of the lineup altogether the previous two games. Brendan Donovan is hitting leadoff for the second straight contest Tuesday.

Call is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Call had started each of the previous 12 games but will take a seat Tuesday. It's possible he will see a dip in playing time in favor of Daylen Lile, who was recalled Monday and will now draw a second straight start in right field.

Beck is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Nationals.

It appears to be a routine day off for Beck. The Rockies are going with Sam Hilliard in left field Tuesday, and Mickey Moniak has been elevated to the leadoff spot.

Myers (elbow) is not expected to be in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Phillies, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

Myers exited Monday's 5-2 loss after being drilled in the left elbow by a pitch. X-rays came back negative, and the Marlins are hopeful Myers can avoid a stint on the 10-day injured list, but he will need at least one day of rest.

Profar (suspension) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Profar will get some at-bats at Gwinnett for the next two weeks before being reinstated from his 80-game PED suspension July 2. Atlanta has struggled to get production from its left-field position, so Profar should immediately slide back into a starting job once he returns to the active roster.

Mitchell (oblique) has been transferred to Triple-A Nashville to continue his rehab assignment, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Mitchell struck out in both plate appearances during his lone rehab game over the weekend with the Brewers' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, but Milwaukee was convinced that the outfielder was ready to move his rehab assignment up to Nashville. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since late April with a left oblique strain, so he'll need a handful of rehab contests to get his timing back at the plate before the Brewers activate him from the 10-day injured list. Once activated, Mitchell should take over as Milwaukee's primary center fielder, which will allow Jackson Chourio to move back to left field.

Veen (ankle) resumed playing in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Friday and has gone 2-for-7 with four walks, two runs and one RBI in three games since rejoining the lineup.

Veen hasn't played for Triple-A Albuquerque since May 22 after suffering a sore ankle, but rather than going on the 7-day injured list, he was instead assigned to the ACL for his rehab program. Now that he's been playing in games again, Veen could soon make his way back to Albuquerque. After being optioned to Triple-A following a two-week stint in the big leagues in April, Veen slashed a meager .224/.277/.342 with one home run and one steal in 19 games before going down with the ankle injury.

The Brewers activated Cameron (personal) from the paternity list Monday.

Cameron was away for the final three games of the weekend series against the Cardinals but will be back for the start of the Brewers' series in Chicago versus the Cubs that begins Tuesday. The Brewers are scheduled to face all righties this week, so the right-handed-hitting Cameron might not see much playing time.

Moniak went 2-for-4 with a triple and a two-run home run during Monday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.

Moniak delivered the fatal blow to the Nationals, launching a go-ahead, two-run home run in the ninth inning to give the Rockies the lead. The 27-year-old has now homered for the third time in his last six games, hitting .470 over that stretch with five RBI. He is now slashing .237/.289/.462 for the season.

Lile went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 6-4 loss to the Rockies.

The first stint in the big leagues didn't go too well for Lile, hitting just .194 over 11 games, but his second one is off to a much better start. The 22-year-old clubbed the first home run of his season and his career Monday. It's a good start for the young outfielder in his bid to earn more playing time as he, Jacob Young and Alex Call jockey for playing time in center and right field.
