Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL
Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Heading to bench Tuesday
Vaughn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.
Vaughn drew starts at first base in each of the last four games and went 6-for-16 with three doubles, two RBI and two runs during that stretch, bringing his OPS up to .934 for the season. The 28-year-old is locked into a full-time role against left-handed pitching, but his playing time versus righties may be more variable while Milwaukee has all of its key position players available and while Jake Bauers has produced a healthy .855 OPS versus right-handed pitching thus far.

Mark Vientos 1B | NYM
Mets' Mark Vientos: Receiving evening off
Vientos is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.
Vientos will hit the bench following a stretch of 22 consecutive starts, during which he produced a .227/.253/.420 slash line with four home runs, 15 RBI and nine runs. The Mets reinstated Jared Young (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and will insert him into the starting nine at first base in Vientos' stead.

Connor Norby 2B | COL
Marlins' Connor Norby: Rejoining starting nine
Norby (elbow) will start at first base and bat fifth in Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Norby will rejoin the starting nine after he was held out of action in Monday's 8-2 win over Toronto due to the left elbow injury he sustained in Sunday's 4-0 victory over the Mets. The 25-year-old will enter Tuesday's contest having produced a .213/.324/.328 slash line with one home run, four stolen bases, nine runs and four RBI through 20 games in May.
-
Rhys Hoskins 1B | CLE
Guardians' Rhys Hoskins: On bench after six straight starts
Hoskins is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
Hoskins will head to the bench after he had started in each of the last six games, going a collective 4-for-20 with a home run, two doubles, a walk and two RBI during that stretch. Though he should remain a mainstay in the Cleveland lineup against left-handed pitching, Hoskins is still expected to play second fiddle to Kyle Manzardo at first base versus righties.
-
Luis Garcia 1B | NYY
Nationals' Luis Garcia: Idle against southpaw
Garcia is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
The left-handed-hitting Garcia will take a seat for the second time in three days while the Nationals face off against another left-handed starter (Joey Cantillo). Andres Chaparro will step in for Garcia at first base and will bat third.
-
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 1B | TOR
Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Not ready to rejoin lineup
Guerrero (elbow) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.
Guerrero will wind up missing out on a second straight start while he continues to tend to a right elbow contusion, which he suffered when he was hit by a pitch in Sunday's loss to the Pirates. The Blue Jays don't appear to be concerned that the bruised elbow will send Guerrero to the injured list, as manager John Schneider told Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca that the 27-year-old is still experiencing some difficulty extending his right arm but was able to take some swings off a tee and against a pitching machine prior to Tuesday's game. Schneider also added that Guerrero could be available off the bench if a pinch-hitting situation arises.
-
Nolan Schanuel 1B | LAA
Angels' Nolan Schanuel: Remains out of lineup
Schanuel (calf) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Detroit.
Schanuel will miss a second straight start with a tight left calf injury that's bothered him off-and-on throughout the season. He is considered day-to-day, but the more time Schanuel misses, the higher the likelihood for an IL stint. Vaughn Grissom is again handling first base in Schanuel's stead Tuesday.
-
Jared Young 1B | NYM
Mets' Jared Young: Activated from injured list
The Mets activated Young (knee) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Young had meniscus surgery in mid-April and is ready to return after going 5-for-22 at the plate in six rehab contests. The left-handed hitter went 7-for-20 for the Mets before getting hurt and should see a decent amount of playing time against righties. Young is starting at first base and batting fifth in Tuesday's game versus the Reds.
-
Rafael Devers 1B | SF
Giants' Rafael Devers: Doubles in defeat
Devers went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 6-2 loss to Arizona. He was also hit by a pitch.
Devers hit a two-run double in the fourth inning, giving the Giants a brief 2-1 lead. The veteran infielder has recorded at least one hit in five of the last six games, racking up eight RBI, four doubles, two long balls and an additional run scored over 25 plate appearances during that span. He's had a productive month, slashing .302/.351/.593 with 16 RBI, 13 runs scored, 10 doubles and five home runs across 94 plate appearances in 23 games in May.
