Yepez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

It's the second time on the bench in Washington's past three games for Yepez, who has gone 7-for-23 with two homers over his past seven contests. Andres Chaparro will shift to designated hitter while Joey Gallo starts at first base against Miami righty Max Meyer.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

The 33-year-old served as Tampa Bay's designated hitter the past two games after sitting out Saturday due to a knee issue. It hasn't been reported that Diaz has suffered a setback, but it's possible his knee still isn't 100 percent. Jonathan Aranda is receiving a start at first base Tuesday for the Rays.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Walker (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

A left oblique strain sent Walker to the injured list at the end of July, and he's now set to reclaim his role as Arizona's everyday first baseman. The 33-year-old slashed .152/.293/.273 with a homer and five RBI across his last 10 games prior to getting hurt, and he may need some time to kick the rust off after not playing in any rehab games. Lourdes Gurriel (calf) was placed on the IL in a corresponding move.

Rizzo is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Rangers.

Rizzo started each of the first two games off the injured list against right-handers but will begin Tuesday's game on the bench as the Rangers send lefty Andrew Heaney to the hill. DJ LeMahieu will draw the start at first base Tuesday.

Casas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

It's the first time Casas has been absent from the Red Sox lineup since he was activated from the 60-day injured list nearly three weeks ago. The Red Sox will go with Romy Gonzalez at first base against southpaw David Peterson.

Pasquantino said that he hopes to undergo surgery Tuesday for his fractured right thumb, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Assuming no other hand injury was uncovered during Pasquantino's thumb surgery, he'll face a 6-to-8-week recovery timeline. When speaking to the media Monday, Pasquantino said that in his mind, his season is not over, but even if the Royals make a deep playoff run, the coaching staff may not be keen in reintegrating him after a long absence. After his 2023 campaign was cut short to labrum surgery of his non-throwing shoulder, Pasquantino enjoyed a productive comeback season before suffering the fractured thumb last week, slashing .262/.315/.446 with 19 home runs, 97 RBI, 64 runs and one stolen base across 554 plate appearances.

Soderstrom (wrist) will take batting practice at Oakland Coliseum on Tuesday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

The rookie has been able to make steady progress over the last week-plus with respect to swinging a bat, and Tuesday will mark his biggest test yet. Assuming his BP session goes off without setbacks, he'll head to Triple-A Las Vegas for a rehab assignment. Soderstrom has been sidelined since July 9.

Lowe went 1-for-4 in Monday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees.

Lowe was back in the lineup after getting a breather Sunday in favor of prospect Justin Foscue, which was notable. Given the plight of the Rangers, who are 9.5 games back of the final wild-card spot, the club may use the final month of the season to develop its younger talent, and Lowe could lose playing time as a result.

Freeman went 2-for-3 with two two-run home runs and a sacrifice fly during Monday's 11-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

Freeman notched his first multi-homer performance of the campaign, pushing the first baseman over 20 long balls for an eighth consecutive year, discounting the shortened 2020 campaign. Freeman has gone yard in three of his last four games, going 6-for-15 (.295) with 10 RBI and four runs scored during that stretch. The 34-year-old boasts a .880 OPS in 549 plate appearances.

Arraez went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 3-0 win over the Tigers.

Arraez had a hand in each of the Padres' three runs and swiped second base in the third inning. Over his past 10 games, the 27-year-old has tallied five multi-hit efforts with a homer, seven RBI and two stolen bases. On the year, he is hitting .310 with four home runs, 41 RBI, 71 runs scored and a career-high eight steals across 583 plate appearances.
