  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Giants' J.D. Davis: Gets breather Tuesday

    Davis is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Guardians.

    Wilmer Flores will cover third base and bat third as Joc Pederson fills the DH role. This appears to be a routine day of rest for Davis, who is slashing .321/.406/.643 in 32 plate appearances since the calendar flipped to September.

  • Oswald Peraza 3B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Active for Game 2

    Peraza (knee) will start at shortstop and bat seventh during Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

    Peraza has been dealing with swelling in his left knee, but he seems to be feeling well enough to return to the lineup after sitting the first game of Tuesday's action. The 23-year-old has had a quiet season in the majors overall, but he's gone 10-for-31 with four RBI since the start of September.

  • DJ LeMahieu 2B | NYY

    Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Sitting nightcap

    LeMahieu isn't in the Yankees' lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Boston.

    After going 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Game 1, LeMahieu will rest during the second game of Tuesday's slate. Jake Bauers will fill in at first base instead and bat sixth.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Out for nightcap

    Devers is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

    Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Game 1 of the doubleheader. Luis Urias will start at the hot corner, batting eighth.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Rays' Isaac Paredes: Back in action Tuesday

    Paredes (hand) is hitting fifth and manning third base Tuesday against the Twins.

    Paredes missed a couple games after getting hit on the right hand by a pitch Saturday. He is hitting .237 with three home runs, four runs and nine RBI over his last 10 games.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Blue Jays' Matt Chapman: Hopeful to return this week

    Chapman (finger) hopes to return later this week, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    He went through a full day of workouts, including making throws in the infield and hitting off a velocity machine. For weeks, he'd only been fielding groundballs, so advancing to making throws is a big step. In the meantime, Cavan Biggio and Santiago Espinal have been platooning at third base.

  • Ramon Urias 3B | STL

    Orioles' Ramon Urias: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Urias is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Urias had started four of the previous five contests, including two straight, but he will begin this one on the bench. The Orioles are going with Adam Frazier at second base and Jordan Westburg at third.

  • Diamondbacks' Emmanuel Rivera: Out with sore shoulder

    Rivera (shoulder) is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets.

    Rivera injured his left shoulder while trying to catch a ball near the stands in Monday's series opener at New York, though it's not believed to be anything serious. Jace Peterson will get the start at third base for the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Geraldo Perdomo is covering shortstop.

  • Curtis Mead 3B | WAS

    Rays' Curtis Mead: Back in big leagues

    Mead was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    He's taking the roster spot of the injured Jose Siri (hand). Mead will provide some infield protection with Isaac Paredes (hand) banged up, although Paredes' return to the lineup is seemingly imminent.

  • Noelvi Marte 3B | CIN

    Reds' Noelvi Marte: Remains sidelined Tuesday

    Marte (nose) remains out of the lineup Tuesday at Detroit.

    Marte suffered a broken nose Saturday when he was struck in the face by a ball during pregame warmups, but he cleared the concussion protocol and apparently won't require a stay on the injured list. Nick Senzel is covering third base and batting second for the Reds on Tuesday.
