Estrada is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Owen Miller 2B | CHC
Brewers' Owen Miller: Recalled from Nashville
The Brewers recalled Miller from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
With Christian Yelich (back) headed for the IL, Miller will come up from the minors to give the Brewers an additional bench piece that is capable of fielding numerous positions. The 27-year-old has gotten off to a strong start at Triple-A, slashing .353/.414/.451 through 58 plate appearances, though his stint in Milwaukee will likely come to an end once Yelich comes off the injured list.

Brandon Drury 2B | KC
Angels' Brandon Drury: Available off bench
Drury (hamstring) said he will be available off the bench Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Drury is not in the lineup after having to exit Monday's game with a hamstring issue. However, he tested out the hamstring with a pregame workout and contends that he's fine to play, if needed. Luis Rengifo is at second base Tuesday and Miguel Sano is at first.

Ozzie Albies 2B | ATL
Braves' Ozzie Albies: Out with fractured toe
Atlanta placed Albies on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured right great toe.
Albies suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch Monday against the Astros, though he never exited the contest. The 27-year-old will now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days, but the absence could be longer depending how the toe heals. Luis Guillorme and David Fletcher, who was added to the major-league roster Tuesday, are likely to see time at second base while Albies is out.

Brandon Drury 2B | KC
Angels' Brandon Drury: Sitting out with hamstring issue
Drury is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rays after exiting Monday's contest with a hamstring injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
It's unclear at this point whether it could potentially be a multi-game absence for Drury, who was lifted for a pinch runner Monday following his last plate appearance. For now, consider him day-to-day. Luis Rengifo is handling second base Tuesday.

Curtis Mead 3B | BOS
Rays' Curtis Mead: Not in Tuesday's lineup

Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Still on mend from foot infection
Edwards (foot) is healing up after a recent follow-up appointment with a podiatrist, but he remains without a clear timeline to resume baseball activities, MLB.com reports.
Edwards didn't appear in any Grapefruit League games after March 5, but he resumed hitting and throwing at the Marlins' spring training complex in late March before he was later revealed to be dealing with a foot infection. He's been shut down from activities ever since, but after his recent appointment was apparently positive, he could be cleared to start working out again soon. Edwards likely won't be ready to return from the 10-day injured list for at least another couple of weeks.
