Raley is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox.

The White Sox have southpaw Anthony Kay starting Tuesday, so the left-handed bat of Raley will begin the game from the bench. Connor Joe has the start in right field and is batting sixth.

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.

Rafaela (hamstring) will start in center field and bat second in Tuesday's game versus the Royals.

Rafaela didn't start Monday's series opener because of some mild hamstring tightness, but he entered that game as a defensive replacement and will return to the lineup Tuesday. The Gold Glove center fielder has a .918 OPS in May.

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.

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.

Rodriguez needs surgery to repair UCL damage in his left thumb, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Rodriguez previously had surgery on his right thumb for an injury that cost him much of the 2024 season, and he dealt with a left thumb issue for part of the 2025 season. It's yet another injury concern for Rodriguez, who has yet to play 100 games in a minor-league season due to various injury problems.

Buxton (hip) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.

The 32-year-old center fielder hasn't seen the field in nearly a week due to right hip flexor soreness, but he'll return to the starting nine Tuesday versus Houston righty Lance McCullers. Buxton will attempt to pick up where he left off, as he was in the midst of a hot streak prior to the absence with 12 homers and a 1.075 OPS over his previous 20 games.

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.

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.

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

It looks to be a routine day off for Collins, who had started each of the previous eight contests. Starling Marte is playing left field and batting sixth for the Royals.
