Santana is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Santana is mired in an 0-for-14 slump and will take a seat for the second time in Seattle's past three games. Mitch Haniger will serve as the designated hitter while Sam Haggerty starts in right field.

Solano will serve as the Reds' designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Tuesday's game against the Mets.

The righty-hitting Solano was already a fixture in the lineup against left-handed pitching when the Reds are at full strength, but he should be primed to get regular starts against right-handed pitchers like the Mets' Carlos Carrasco after Cincinnati placed his platoon mate at DH, Mike Moustakas (calf), on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Solano owns a .289/.341/.421 slash line in 85 plate appearances versus righties on the season.

Arias (head) started in back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday for Triple-A Columbus, going 2-for-8 with a run.

Arias was pulled from Columbus' game Friday after getting struck on the head by a pitch, but he apparently passed all concussion testing and was cleared to rejoin the lineup a day later. The 22-year-old infielder is hitting .213 with eight home runs and four stolen bases in 178 plate appearances at Columbus this season.

Hall will sit Tuesday against the Marlins.

Hall will get a breather after he went 5-for-10 with three solo home runs and four runs scored in the three-game series versus the Nationals. Nick Castellanos will start at designated hitter while Matt Vierling enters the lineup in right field and bats seventh in the series opener.

The Rays promoted Manzardo to Double-A Montgomery on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 23-year-old first baseman has been a fast climber through the organization, as he'll now move on to his third affiliate since being drafted in the second round of the 2021 first-year player draft. Manzardo decimated South Atlantic League pitching over the first four months of the season, slashing .329/.436/.636 with 17 home runs and a 45:46 BB:K in 275 plate appearances.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Cubs.

The 31-year-old got the Nationals on the board by taking Keegan Thompson deep in the sixth inning. Voit has come out swinging since the trade from San Diego, going 7-for-17 (.412) through his first five games for Washington with two homers and three RBI, but on the season he's still slashing just .235/.327/.435 with 15 home runs and 51 RBI through 87 contests.

Mountcastle went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jays.

His third-inning blast off Yusei Kikuchi was one of four Baltimore homers on the night, and it snapped a 26-game drought for Mountcastle. The 25-year-old has a woeful .170/.225/.210 slash line during that power outage, but a series against Toronto might be just what he needs to get back on track -- after Monday's performance, Mountcastle carries a career 1.131 OPS against the Jays with 13 homers and 25 RBI in 30 games.

Rizzo (back) isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

Rizzo is set to miss his fourth consecutive contest due to lower-back tightness. He'll continue to be considered day-to-day until more information on his status becomes known. DJ LeMahieu draws another start at first base in Rizzo's absence.

Solano was added to the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Solano was set to open Monday's game on the bench, but fellow infielder Kyle Farmer was scratched with a sore neck, and Solano will be the player who takes his place in the lineup. Solano will serve as the designated hitter and hit fifth against Mets starter Chris Bassitt.

Solano is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Solano went 5-for-25 with two extra-base hits and three walks while starting in each of the past seven games, but he'll take a seat Monday with right-hander Chris Bassitt toeing the rubber for the Mets. The righty-hitting Solano will primarily handle a short-side platoon role at designated hitter moving forward, but his ability to play second base and third base will occasionally allow him to pick up work against righties when Jonathan India and Kyle Farmer need days off.
