  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Diagnosed with torn meniscus

    The Giants placed Schmitt on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left knee meniscus tear.

    The 27-year-old faces the possibility of being shut down for the season, even if the severity of the tear isn't a worst-case scenario. In a corresponding move, the Giants selected Osleivis Basabe from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

  • Astros' LaMonte Wade: On bench Tuesday

    Wade is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.

    The left-handed-hitting Wade is sitting as the Angels send southpaw Reid Detmers to the mound. Zach Dezenzo, Taylor Trammell and Cam Smith are the starting outfielders Tuesday for the Astros.

  • Angel Martinez LF | CLE

    Guardians' Angel Martinez: On bench for nightcap

    Martinez isn't in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Reds.

    After going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts to start the day, Martinez will move to the bench to begin the second half of Tuesday's festivities. His absence will put Chase DeLauter in right field and Jose Ramirez at DH, allowing Gabriel Arias to start at third base.

  • Luke Raley RF | SEA

    Mariners' Luke Raley: Sitting vs lefty

    Raley is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

    The Dodgers have southpaw Justin Wrobleski on the mound Tuesday, so the left-handed-hitting Raley will take a seat. Dominic Canzone is starting in right field for Raley, while Rob Refsnyder is getting a turn as the designated hitter.

  • Joshua Lowe LF | LAA

    Angels' Josh Lowe: Sitting again

    Lowe is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Astros, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Lowe is starting the game on the bench for the fourth time in the last five games since July 24. Wade Meckler, Mike Trout and Jo Adell are the starting outfielders for the Angels.

  • Jung Hoo Lee RF | SF

    Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Back in action Tuesday

    Lee (elbow) will start in right field and bat fifth Tuesday against the Brewers, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Lee sat out the Giants' last two games due to elbow soreness, but he'll return to the lineup now that the issue appears to have subsided. The 27-year-old outfielder has slashed .300/.364/.500 with a homer, four RBI and five runs scored across eight games since the All-Star break.

  • Twins' Emmanuel Rodriguez: Cleared for rehab assignment

    Rodriguez (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Fort Myers on Tuesday, Theodore Tollefson of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

    Rodriguez has finally been cleared to play in games following surgery in late May to repair the UCL in his left thumb. The 23-year-old has been highly productive for Triple-A St. Paul this season when on the field, slashing .247/.417/.506 with six long balls in 25 games. Rodriguez could push to debut before the end of the 2026 campaign if he's able to stay healthy, but that's a big "if," given his track record.

  • Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Receives cortisone injection

    Carpenter (foot) received a cortisone injection Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    The 28-year-old landed on the injured list Monday with left foot plantar fasciitis and didn't waste much time before getting treatment. Plantar fasciitis often carries a lengthy recovery timeline, but it's possible Carpenter's situation is more of an issue of pain tolerance, at least in the short term.

  • Phillies' Gabriel Rincones: Sitting against righty

    Rincones is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Miami.

    It's righty Sandy Alcantara on the bump for the Marlins, but the left-handed-hitting Rincones will begin the festivities on the bench. Bryan De La Cruz is in right field and batting eighth for the Phillies.

  • Pirates' Esmerlyn Valdez: Good to go Tuesday

    Valdez (hand) will be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.

    Valdez exited Monday's series opener after being struck on the left hand by a pitch, but he won't end up missing a start after he underwent medical testing and was diagnosed with a bruise. The 22-year-old is in a bit of a slump, having gone 3-for-16 with six walks and eight strikeouts over his past six games, but he's been a force at the plate overall in July with a 1.043 OPS through 21 contests.
