Nick Senzel 3B | LAD
Reds' Nick Senzel: Returning to action Wednesday
Senzel (shoulder) will be in the lineup Wednesday against the White Sox, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
The 25-year-old was scratched from Tuesday's starting nine with shoulder soreness, but he's expected to be back in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale. Senzel is 6-for-15 with one homer, two walks, one stolen base, two RBI and two runs over his past four games.

Ke'Bryan Hayes 3B | CIN
Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Hitting in batting cage
Hayes (wrist/hand) faced live pitching in the batting cage Tuesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Assistant hitting coach Christian Romero said the 24-year-old looked good in the cage, which is welcome news after the Pirates said Monday the third baseman didn't have an official timeline for his return. Hayes has been battling discomfort in his lower hand and wrist, and he's currently traveling with the team on its seven-game road trip through San Diego and Chicago.

Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA
Angels' Anthony Rendon: Sitting out Tuesday
Rendon (knee) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rays.
The 30-year-old suffered a bruise on his left knee when he fouled a ball off his leg Monday, and he'll be sidelined for at least one game due to the injury. Phil Gosselin had his contract selected and will start at third base Tuesday for the Halos.

Brian Anderson RF | ATL
Marlins' Brian Anderson: Returns to lineup
Anderson (oblique) was activated from the injured list as expected Tuesday, and he'll bat fifth and play third base against the Diamondbacks.
Anderson missed two weeks with a left oblique strain. He was hitting just .200/.262/.300 prior to being shut down. Monte Harrison was optioned in a corresponding move.

Reds' Nick Senzel: Scratched with sore shoulder
Senzel was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox due to a sore shoulder, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
This is already the second time the oft-injured outfielder has dealt with a shoulder injury this season, as he left the Reds' Opening Day contest for the same reason. He missed only one game that time, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be similarly lucky this time around. Tyler Naquin entered the lineup as his replacement.

Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI
Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Sits for first time
Arenado is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Arenado sits after starting each of the Cardinals' first 29 games. He's bounced back nicely from a poor 2020 campaign, though leaving Coors Field has taken the expected bite out of his numbers. He's hitting a solid .265/.325/.496 with five homers through his first 29 games in a Cardinals uniform. Matt Carpenter will fill in for him at third base Tuesday.

Jean Segura 3B | CLE
Phillies' Jean Segura: Begins rehab assignment
Segura (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Segura has missed two weeks with a strained right quadriceps, but it looks like his return is now on the horizon. The Phillies haven't provided an exact timeline, but he shouldn't need very many rehab games to get back in shape following a relatively brief absence.

Rafael Devers 1B | SF
Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Resting sore shoulder
Devers is resting a sore right shoulder and is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Tigers, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Browne said Devers should be back in the lineup Wednesday, so this sounds like a minor issue. Marwin Gonzalez will start at third base and hit sixth.
-
Evan Longoria 3B | ARI
Giants' Evan Longoria: On bench for afternoon game
Longoria will sit for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Those with Longoria on their teams won't love seeing him miss out on a game at Coors Field, but it's no surprise that the Giants won't ask his 35-year-old legs to handle two games in one day. Jason Vosler starts at third base in his absence, but Longoria will likely return to the lineup for the nightcap.

Jason Vosler 3B | SEA
Giants' Jason Vosler: Receives call-up
The Giants recalled Vosler from their alternate training site Tuesday.
He was summoned to replace Tommy La Stella (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Like La Stella, Vosler is a left-handed hitter capable of playing both corner-infield spots, but the Giants are unlikely to view the 27-year-old as much more than a depth piece while he's up with the big club. Wilmer Flores and Mauricio Dubon are likelier candidates to pick up starts while La Stella is on the mend.
