Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Socks 10th homer
Suarez went 1-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.
Suarez launched his 10th homer of the season off Max Scherzer in the sixth, but that would be everything he'd contribute to the win -- he struck out in each of his other three at-bats. The veteran has reached double-digit long balls for the seventh year in a row, though he isn't contributing much in other categories -- he owns a .150 average with a meager .586 OPS.

Mets' J.D. Davis: Managing joint inflammation
Davis (finger/neck) underwent an MRI that showed joint inflammation in his left hand and will receive treatment before resuming baseball activities, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
The 28-year-old had his rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse paused over the weekend due to neck stiffness, and he returned to the Mets to be evaluated after experiencing some hand soreness during a workout. Davis appeared close to returning from the injured list, but that timeline has now been pushed back while he's receiving treatment for the inflammation.

Mets' J.D. Davis: Pauses rehab to receive treatment
Davis (finger/neck) returned to New York City from his rehab stint at Triple-A Syracuse to receive treatment, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
The 28-year-old was expected to be in the lineup Tuesday for Syracuse after his rehab assignment was paused over the weekend due to neck stiffness, but he instead rejoined the team for treatment. According to Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record, Davis hasn't suffered any setbacks with the finger or neck, so he may still be able to return from the injured list early next week as previously expected.

Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Moves to paternity list
LeMahieu was placed on the paternity list Tuesday.
The 32-year-old was already absent from Tuesday's lineup due to the birth of his child, so the move to the paternity list is hardly a surprise. LeMahieu can spend up to three games on the paternity list, but he could also rejoin the team earlier.

Brian Anderson RF | ATL
Marlins' Brian Anderson: Facing multi-week absence
GM Kim Ng said Tuesday that Anderson (shoulder) will be sidelined for at least the next several weeks, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
The 28-year-old landed on the injured list earlier Tuesday with a left shoulder subluxation, and he'll end up being sidelined well beyond the 10-day minimum. Anderson can safely be ruled out into mid-June, though it's possible he misses more time. Jon Berti and Isan Diaz are the likely candidates to see reps at third base in the meantime.

Padres' Manny Machado: Could be available off bench
Manager Jayce Tingler said that Machado (shoulder) will hit prior to Tuesday's game against the Brewers and could be available off the bench, depending on how he feels, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
While Machado will be absent from the Friars' starting nine for the fifth consecutive game, Tingler's update indicates that the star third baseman could return to the lineup as soon as Wednesday, assuming all goes well with his Tuesday hitting session.

Taylor Walls SS | TB
Rays' Taylor Walls: Thriving early with opportunity
Walls drove in a run with a bases-loaded walk, drew another base on balls and scored two runs over six plate appearances in an extra-innings win over the Blue Jays on Monday. He's reached safely in all three of his games since being summoned from Triple-A Durham on Saturday.
The rookie also struck out three times Monday, a reminder that he still has a ways to go before mastering big-league arms. Nevertheless, there's no question he's impressed early, lacing a pair of doubles and scoring three runs in the course of drawing three straight starts at shortstop.

Brian Anderson RF | ATL
Marlins' Brian Anderson: Goes on injured list
Anderson was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left shoulder subluxation.
Anderson exited Monday's contest and is now set to miss the next several games at minimum. Backup Jon Berti figures to get the majority of the action at third base in Anderson's absence.
