Wade is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Miami, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Lefty Ryan Weathers is pitching Tuesday for the Marlins, so Wade will take a seat despite his 1.220 OPS over his past nine contests. Wilmer Flores will start at first base and bat second.

Vaughn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Royals, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Vaughn started the first 16 games of the season but has a .457 OPS and is 1-for-16 over his past four contests. Gavin Sheets will start at first base as Eloy Jimenez (adductor) is back from the injured list and at designated hitter.

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

Mountcastle is off to a hot start this season with a .305/.368/.492 slash line through 15 games, but he'll take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Ryan O'Hearn will shift to first base while Adley Rutschman rests his legs as the designated hitter.

Cronenworth (calf) is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee.

Cronenworth was pulled from Monday's contest with calf tightness, so it's no surprise to see him sitting a day later. The good news is that he has not been placed on the injured list as the Padres brought up Matthew Batten as infield protection, projecting some apparent optimism that it's a day-to-day situation for Cronenworth. Jurickson Profar will handle first base Tuesday, while Jose Azocar will be in left field.

Sullivan was optioned to Triple-A El Paso by the Padres on Tuesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Sullivan was around as a third catcher for a week but didn't receive any starts. He's being replaced on the roster by Matthew Batten.

Schanuel is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Tampa Bay.

Schanuel returned to the lineup Monday after missing a game with a testicular contusion, but he'll now head back to the bench for Tuesday's contest. Miguel Sano will occupy first base and bat cleanup for the Angels. Schanuel went 0-for-5 Monday and is now just 4-for-42 on the season.

Santana is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Baltimore.

Alex Kirilloff will get the nod at first base while Santana takes a seat. It's the second day off of the season for Santana, who is slashing an ugly .135/.224/.154 over his first 14 contests.

Busch went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks Monday in the Cubs' 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Busch's leadoff blast off Merrill Kelly in the top of the sixth inning extended his home-run streak to five games, tying four other Cubs players for the longest streak in franchise history. Notably, all five of Busch's home runs during the streak have come at road venues, which offers hope that the rookie's power surge can continue once the weather warms up at Wrigley Field, a fertile hitting environment for left-handed batters in recent years. Managers that took a chance on Busch in the later rounds of drafts are relishing in the early returns, as he's provided a .327 average, six home runs, 12 RBI and nine runs through 16 games.

Montero is slashing .205/.265/.227 with zero home runs, two runs and two RBI through 13 games.

He has been playing regularly at first base and his 16.3 percent strikeout rate is a massive improvement over the 36.2 percent strikeout rate he logged in 85 games last year. It looks like his plate skills may have improved, but he may need to start producing soon in order to hold onto his starting role.

Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Monday's 2-1 loss to the Phillies.

Toglia launched his fourth home run of the 2024 campaign, matching his homer total from a season before in 34 fewer games. Despite his impressive power output, Toglia owns a poor .167 on-base percentage with a massive 36.1 percent strikeout rate.
