Stott will bat fifth for the Phillies on Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Stott has been occupying the leadoff spot against both righties and lefties over the last couple of weeks, but the reigning NL champs will switch things up Tuesday at Dodger Stadium as they welcome Bryce Harper (elbow) back into the fold. Kyle Schwarber is at the top of the order with lefty Julio Urias on the mound for Los Angeles. Trea Turner will hit second and Harper is batting third.

Gorman isn't starting Tuesday against the Angels, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

With the left-handed Patrick Sandoval starting for Los Angeles, Gorman will begin Tuesday's game in the dugout. Willson Contreras will take over as St. Louis' designated hitter, and Andrew Knizner will start behind the plate while batting eighth.

Donovan isn't starting Tuesday against the Angels, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

With southpaw Patrick Sandoval slated to start the game for Los Angeles, the left-swinging Donovan will take a seat to begin Tuesday's contest. He'll be replaced at second base by Tommy Edman, allowing Paul DeJong to start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Bae is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rays.

Bae recorded his 11th steal of the season in Sunday's series finale against the Nationals, but Mark Mathias will get the start at second base as the Pirates open a three-game set Tuesday at Tampa Bay. It's a bullpen day for the Rays, so Bae probably will appear off the bench at some point.

The Marlins recalled Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Edwards will get his first taste of major-league action with the Marlins at age 23, likely operating in a utility role in Miami's infield. He had slashed .306/.427/.361 with zero home runs and seven stolen bases through 20 games (90 plate appearances) this season at the Triple-A level.

Kim went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Monday's victory against the Reds.

Kim doubled and scored in the fourth inning before drilling a three-run shot in the fifth. Since hitting his last homer April 9, the 27-year-old had been stuck in a 9-for-54 (.167) drought. He bumped his season slash line up to .222/.307/.378 with eight extra-base hits and nine RBI through 102 plate appearances.

San Francisco recalled Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Wisely was actually already with the big club after serving as the 27th man for its two-game series with the Padres in Mexico City over the weekend, but he'll now remain a member of the 26-man active roster after Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. While Yastrzemski is on the shelf, the lefty-hitting Wisely could end up handling the strong side of a platoon in center field with the righty-hitting Austin Slater. Wisely will start in center and bat ninth in Monday's series opener in Houston, according to Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com.

Bae went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a steal in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.

Bae led off the third inning with a base hit before swiping second and scoring on a Bryan Reynolds hit. Bae is now 11-for-12 on stolen base attempts this year, tying him for second in the league. The 23-year-old Bae has hit well enough to maximize his stolen-base value -- he's slashing .250/.302/.350 with two home runs, nine RBI and 17 runs scored through 87 plate appearances while splitting time between center field and second base.

Villar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Villar is sitting against a right-handed starting pitcher (Yu Darvish) for the second straight day and appears to have ceded primary duties at third base to J.D. Davis. The righty-hitting Villar offers the ability to play three infield positions and should still have a path to steady playing time versus left-handed pitching.

Urias (hamstring) progressed to running at 50 percent Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The 25-year-old landed on the shelf April 1 after he suffered a major hamstring strain Opening Day, and he should be nearing the halfway point in his recovery process. Urias will be eligible to be reinstated from the 60-day IL on May 31, though he clearly still has significant work to do in his rehab program.
