  • Dodgers' Austin Barnes: Exits game early

    Barnes was removed from Tuesday's game against Miami with an apparent injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Barnes was struck in the head by Nick Fortes' backswing during the seventh inning, and he was later replaced behind the dish by Will Smith. The Dodgers will take a look at Barnes and presumably evaluate him for a concussion, but he should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

  • Gary Sanchez C | MIL

    Padres' Gary Sanchez: Takes seat Tuesday

    Sanchez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.

    Luis Campusano (groin) will return at catcher and bat sixth. Sanchez went 1-for-4 with an RBI double and a walk in the Padres' loss to Philadelphia on Monday.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Gets breather Tuesday

    Realmuto is not in the lineup Tuesday at San Diego.

    Garrett Stubbs will catch and bat ninth for the visiting Phillies after Realmuto logged four straight starts behind the plate. Realmuto went 5-for-14 (.357) with two homers in that four-game stretch while lifting his season OPS to .781.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Back in lineup Tuesday

    Campusano (groin) is back in the lineup Tuesday versus the Phillies.

    Campusano took a foul tip to a sensitive area in Sunday's series finale against the Giants, but he appeared as a pinch hitter in Monday's series opener versus Philly and will start behind the plate and bat sixth for the host Padres on Tuesday night at Petco Park.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Takes seat Tuesday

    Bailey is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs.

    Bailey will grab a breather after making four straight starts behind the plate for the Giants. Blake Sabol is catching and batting fifth Tuesday versus the Cubs and right-hander Kyle Hendricks.

  • Marlins' Jacob Stallings: On bench Tuesday

    Stallings is absent from the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

    Nick Fortes will catch and bat ninth after Stallings drew three straight starts behind the plate to close out the Marlins' four-game weekend series versus the Nationals.

  • Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Not in lineup Tuesday

    Stephenson is not in the lineup Tuesday versus Seattle.

    Stephenson went 5-for-7 with a homer, two doubles and four RBI between Sunday's series finale against the Cubs and Monday's series opener against the Mariners, but he'll grab some rest Tuesday as Luke Maile takes a turn behind the plate for Cincinnati.

  • Yan Gomes C | CHC

    Cubs' Yan Gomes: Two hits, RBI in Monday's win

    Gomes went 2-for-3 with a double and a RBI in Monday's 5-0 win over the Giants.

    Gomes returned to the lineup after getting a breather Sunday, and the veteran didn't skip a beat. He's been solid this year with a .269 batting average and .729 OPS, which are up significantly from the .235 average and .625 OPS he posted last season. Miguel Amaya should continue to spell Gomes some down the stretch, but with the Cubs fighting for a playoff spot, they'll probably use Gomes as much as possible given his production to this point.

  • Padres' Luis Campusano: Available Monday

    Campusano is available off the bench Monday against the Phillies after getting hurt on a foul tip Sunday against the Giants, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Campusano got hit in the groin area and ended up going to the hospital to get an ultrasound Sunday, so it sounds like he was in quite a bit of pain. Gary Sanchez is starting behind the dish Monday.

  • Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Homer, steal in win

    Realmuto went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee.

    Realmuto went back-to-back with Alec Bohm off Wade Miley in the seventh inning Sunday, putting the Phillies ahead 3-2. The 32-year-old Realmuto has now homered in consecutive games while batting .333 (14-for-42) over his last 12 contests. Overall, Realmuto's slash line is up to .255/.318/.467 with 17 homers, 61 runs scored, 53 RBI and 13 stolen bases across 461 plate appearances this season.
