Diaz (thumb) will start at first base and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game versus the Cardinals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz had to depart Sunday's game against the Astros with a bruised left thumb, but he's back in action Tuesday without having missed any starts. He'll enter play Tuesday sporting a .963 OPS in eight contests since returning from the restricted list.

Arraez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Arraez will avoid a matchup with southpaw Bailey Falter, giving way to Jake Cronenworth at first base and Donovan Solano at DH. Arraez has been held out of the lineup in three of the Padres' last six games against left-handed pitching.

Freeman went 1-for-4 in Monday's 5-3 win against the Phillies.

Freeman missed eight games while on the family medical emergency list before returning to action Monday. He received a standing ovation from the crowd at Dodger Stadium prior to his first at-bat and singled to right field in the third. Freeman and his wife, Chelsea, shared that their three-year-old son was discharged from the hospital Sunday after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome. With the child on the mend, Freeman appears set to resume his everyday role at first base for the Dodgers.

Pasquantino went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Red Sox on Monday.

Pasquantino struck out in two of his first three at-bats but ended his performance on a positive note with a solo shot in the eighth inning. It was the first baseman's fifth homer over his past six contests, and he's added 11 RBI during that span. Prior to the power surge, Pasquantino had gone 17 games without a long ball.

Soderstrom (wrist) remains sidelined from baseball activity and is slated to wear a splint for several more days, MLB.com reports.

Soderstrom is slated to keep the splint until at least Saturday, and he won't be able to start baseball activities until he's shed it. Soderstrom will presumably need a fairly lengthy rehab assignment whenever he's deemed ready for that step, considering he went on the IL on July 11 and is seemingly still multiple weeks away from being cleared for game action.

Busch went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Twins.

Busch came into the night on a three-game hitting streak, during which he blasted two home runs and only struck out once. It was a different story for the 26-year-old Monday as he struck out four times in a game for just the second time this season, with his last such performance coming back on May 5. Busch should be able to bounce back, as he's batting a solid .257 with a .797 OPS this year.

France went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 10-3 win over the Marlins.

France was part of the Reds onslaught against the Marlins on Monday, blasting one of four homers by the group. It was his first homer as a member of the Reds in his fifth game since joining them. The veteran was designated for assignment by Seattle after managing a .662 OPS through 88 games and was 1-for-12 thus far in Cincinnati, so Monday's showing was a welcome sight.

Freeman (personal) has been activated from the family medical emergency list ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies.

Freeman has been away from the club since July 27 to be with his family after his three-year-old son was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome. It was reported earlier in the day that he was back with the team at Dodger Stadium leading up to Monday's matchup, and the organization has since made his return official. Freeman will man first base and hit third in Monday's series opener.

Gallo (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Gallo participated in on-field work over the weekend and his hamstring held up well enough for the Nationals to send him out on a rehab assignment. Gallo is scheduled to play first base for five innings Tuesday, then serve as a designated hitter Wednesday before logging five to seven innings in right field Thursday. It's unclear if the Nationals plan on activating Gallo after Thursday's game, or if his rehab assignment will extend through the weekend. Once he returns from the 10-day injured list, Gallo may not be an everyday member of the lineup, as the Nationals have gotten solid results of late from Juan Yepez and Alex Call at first base and right field, respectively.

Singleton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Singleton will get the night off Monday due to southpaw Andrew Heaney taking the mound for the Rangers. Mauricio Dubon will slide to first base while Pedro Leon plays right field.
