Kiriloff (wrist) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The move has no impact on Kiriloff's recovery timeline, as he's already been ruled out for the year after undergoing surgery in late July. The procedure's eight-week recovery timeline means he won't make it back this season but should still leave him with plenty of time to get ready for next year. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the Twins to select Nick Vincent's contract.

O'Hearn is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Yankees.

O'Hearn sat twice over the weekend with the Royals playing in a National League park without a designated hitter, and he's out of the lineup again Tuesday. Whit Merrifield will serve as the designated hitter while Hanser Alberto starts at second base.

Hoskins was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left groin strain.

Hoskins hasn't played since Thursday because of left groin soreness, so his placement on the injured list hardly comes as a surprise. The transaction is retroactive to Saturday, leaving the first baseman eligible to be reinstated Aug. 17 against the Diamondbacks. That being said, it's not yet clear if he's expected to require additional time to recover. Brad Miller seems likely to pick up the bulk of the time at first base during Hoskins' absence.

Bohm is not starting Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Bohm will get his first breather of August after going 9-for-29 with three RBI to start the month. Ronald Torreyes will man the hot corner and bat seventh in the series opener.

Hoskins (groin) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Per Matt Gelb of The Athletic, Hoskins' groin is still not feeling 100 percent, which will lead to the first baseman sitting his fourth straight game. Brad Miller will start at first base and bat fifth. Hoskins can continue to be considered day-to-day.

Freeman is back in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Reds after missing Sunday's contest due to illness.

Freeman exited Saturday's matchup against Washington with an upper respiratory infection. He remained out of the starting nine for the series finale, though he did make a pinch-hit appearance later in the game. The slugger appears to be feeling much better as he's set to bat third and man first base Tuesday.

Voit went 2-for-5 with a home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 11-inning win over Kansas City.

The two teams engaged in a scoreless tie for six frames before Voit broke the stalemate with a seventh-inning RBI single. In the ninth, the slugger again untied the contest with a solo shot to right field. The long ball was his fourth of the season and his first since returning to the active roster Sunday. Voit is slashing .239/.321/.385 overall in what has been an injury-plagued campaign.

Santana went 0-for-6 with a strikeout in Monday's 8-6 extra-innings loss to the Yankees.

It's rare for the first baseman to fail to get on base in some way -- he has a .341 on-base percentage and 14.6 percent walk rate this season. Santana has gone 10 games without a multi-hit effort, going just 5-for-38 (.132) with six walks and three runs scored in that span. All five hits in his slump have been singles.

Tellez is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cubs.

The Brewers are going with a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Cubs lefty Justin Steele in the series opener, so the lefty-hitting Tellez will sit out the front end of the twin bill along with Omar Narvaez and Christian Yelich. Eduardo Escobar will man first base in the early game, but expect Tellez to return to the lineup for the nightcap with right-hander Alec Mills on the bump for Chicago.

Bell got the start in right field during Sunday's loss to Atlanta, going 1-for-5.

With lefty Max Fried on the mound for the opposition, the Nats found a way to get both Ryan Zimmerman and the switch-hitting Bell into the lineup. The 28-year-old hadn't seen work in the outfield since he was a rookie in 2016, and he should see most of his action over the final weeks of the season at his usual first base, but Bell could eventually wind up with some extra position flex. On the year, he's batting .249 with 19 homers and 60 RBI through 96 games.
