Franmil Reyes DH | WAS
Indians' Franmil Reyes: Acquired by Cleveland
Reyes and Logan Allen were traded to the Indians from the Padres on Tuesday in a three-way trade that sends Trevor Bauer to the Reds, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Reyes was rumored to be receiving interest from the Rays on the trade market, but he'll instead be joining the Indians in the blockbuster deal. The 24-year-old has a .253/.312/.535 slash line with 27 home runs this season and will join a revamped outfield that also includes the likes of Yasiel Puig, who was acquired from the Reds. Minor-league outfielder Taylor Trammell joins San Diego in what is currently known as a three-team, five-player trade.

Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: Not starting Tuesday
Blackmon (back) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.
Blackmon has missed the last two contests due to back spasms, though he'll test his back prior to Tuesday's contest by taking part in batting practice, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com. If he resonds well to BP, he may be available to hit off the bench. Raimel Tapia will man right field and bat seventh with Blackmon out of the mix.

Carpenter has been on the 10-day injured list since July 16 due to a right foot contusion, and he's not yet ready to return to the big leagues.

AJ Reed DH | HOU
White Sox's AJ Reed: On bench Tuesday
Reed is not starting Tuesday against the Mets.
Reed sits for the second time in three games, following a stretch in which he started five straight. He's hit just .158/.214/.237 in 12 games for the White Sox this season and may not have a particularly long leash given that he's never proven himself at the big-league level.

Marcell Ozuna DH | PIT
Cardinals' Marcell Ozuna: Headed for rehab stint
Ozuna (finger) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Byron Buxton CF | MIN
Twins' Byron Buxton: Looking sharp since IL return
Buxton will start in center field and bat eighth Tuesday in Miami.
Buxton typically slots in at the bottom of the order, but he'll move up a spot in the lineup for the first time since April 10 with the Twins deploying the pitcher (Jake Odorizzi) as the No. 9 hitter in the National League park. The more noteworthy development is that Buxton is in the starting nine in center field for the fifth straight game, showing no ill effects of the concussion that sidelined him almost two weeks. In his first four games back in action, Buxton went 6-for-14 with four doubles, four runs and an RBI.
