  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Sitting out nightcap

    Arenado is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    The 31-year-old went 0-for-4 during the matinee and will take a seat for Game 2 of the twin bill. Brendan Donovan will man the hot corner in Arenado's place and bat second.

  • Jace Peterson SS | ARI

    Brewers' Jace Peterson: Everyday role reopens

    Peterson will start at third base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Mets.

    Peterson briefly lost hold of a regular starting role June 8 when Willy Adames made his return from the 10-day injured list, but Kolten Wong (calf) was deactivated three days later to reopen playing time in the infield. The 32-year-old Peterson will pick up his fifth start at third base in six games Tuesday and should play often against right-handed pitching until Wong is back from the IL.

  • Nick Madrigal 2B | LAA

    Cubs' Nick Madrigal: Still sidelined

    Madrigal (groin) remains on the bench Tuesday against the Padres.

    Madrigal exited Friday's game against the Yankees with groin tightness and hasn't played since then. He's seemingly still day-to-day, as he hasn't been placed on the injured list, but he'll sit here for the fourth straight game as Jonathan Villar remains the starter at second base.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Phillies' Jean Segura: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Phillies transferred Segura (finger) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Segura's move to the 60-day IL frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for utility man Yairo Munoz, whose contract was purchased from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The transaction doesn't affect Segura's timeline for rejoining the Phillies; he was already expected to miss 10-to-12 weeks after undergoing surgery earlier this month to repair a fractured right index finger.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Mets' J.D. Davis: Sitting Tuesday

    Davis is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

    Davis had started four straight games, grabbing at least one hit in all four, but he'll nonetheless head to the bench here. Nick Plummer will get the start as the designated hitter.

  • Matt Reynolds 3B | CIN

    Reds' Matt Reynolds: Swipes fourth bag

    Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-4 victory against the Diamondbacks.

    Reynolds put the Reds on the board in the fourth inning with a run-scoring single. He later scored the game-winning run in the sixth after reaching on an infield single, stealing second base and scoring on a Mike Moustakas base knock. Reynolds posted his fourth multi-hit performance over his past 12 games, and he is batting .310 (13-for-42) with three homers, seven RBI and one theft over that span.

  • Evan Longoria 3B | ARI

    Giants' Evan Longoria: Still sitting

    Longoria (hamstring) remains on the bench Monday against the Royals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Longoria has been out of the lineup since Friday while battling left hamstring tightness, but he hasn't been shut down completely, as he appeared as a pinch hitter Sunday. He's not quite ready to be involved from the start of the game, however, so Thairo Estrada will get the nod at third base.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Reds' Mike Moustakas: Returns from injured list

    Moustakas was activated off the COVID-19 injured list Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Moustakas wound up spending just one week on the COVID-19 injured list. While he's looked good at times this season, he'd managed just three hits in the 14 games prior to his absence, so the Reds will be hoping for much more upon his return. Colin Moran was optioned to accommodate his return.

  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Marlins' Brian Anderson: Able to swing

    Anderson (back) has been throwing medicine balls and hitting off a tee, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Anderson has missed over two weeks with a bulging disc in his lumbar spine. He remains without a clear timetable to return to the field, though it's certainly a positive that he's able to take part in workouts in some capacity.

  • Nick Madrigal 2B | LAA

    Cubs' Nick Madrigal: Remains out

    Madrigal (groin) remains on the bench Monday against the Padres.

    Madrigal left Friday's game against the Yankees with groin tightness and didn't appear in either of the next two games. He was considered day-to-day as recently as Sunday, so it's possible he'll be back in action soon, but it will again be Jonathan Villar at second base Monday.
