Nationals' Jose Tena: Idle Tuesday
Tena (thumb) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
Tena was removed from Sunday's game after being struck in the right hand by a grounder and will require an additional day of rest due to an issue with the fingernail of his right thumb. He should be considered day-to-day. Ildemaro Vargas will start at third base Tuesday.

Coby Mayo 3B | BAL
Orioles' Coby Mayo: Absent from lineup again
Mayo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
Mayo has now started just one of the last five games, taking a clear back seat to Ramon Urias at third base. The rookie is still seeking his first major-league hit, having gone 0-for-15 with 10 strikeouts. It would not be a surprise to see Mayo sent back to Triple-A Norfolk soon.

The Nationals selected Chaparro's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

The 25-year-old is expected to play regularly while alternating with Juan Yepez at first base and designated hitter. Chaparro is starting at first base and batting sixth Tuesday in Baltimore in his major-league debut.

Mets' Mark Vientos: Sitting again Tuesday
Vientos (ankle) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
The 24-year-old was a late scratch from Sunday's lineup against the Mariners due to left ankle soreness, and he'll sit for a second consecutive game Tuesday. According to Laura Albanese of Newsday, Vientos is expected to be available off the bench and should rejoin the lineup Wednesday. Jose Iglesias will receive a start at third base and bat seventh.

Toro is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
Toro hasn't logged a multi-hit game since July 23, going 6-for-45 (.133) during that stretch. He'll yield to Darell Hernaiz at third base for the second time in three games.

Reds' Noelvi Marte: Resting Tuesday
Marte is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.

Junior Caminero 3B | TB
Rays' Junior Caminero: Officially called up
The Rays recalled Caminero from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
The Rays' top prospect will make his 2024 MLB debut, taking Curtis Mead's spot on the active roster. Caminero missed time with a strained quad but has slashed .304/.325/.532 with five homers and an 18.1 percent K rate since coming off the minor-league IL on July 19. The right-hander should settle into a near-everyday role at third base, but he could mix in at second or shortstop if needed.

Jazz Chisholm 3B | NYY
Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Imaging comes back negative
X-rays on Chisholm's left elbow returned negative Monday night, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
The team initially reported that Chisholm would be sent for imaging Tuesday, and while he's still scheduled to undergo an MRI in the morning, this appears to be good news for fantasy managers. It remains unclear at this time whether the third baseman will be cleared to start Tuesday's game.
