  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Dodgers' Trea Turner: Nursing sore calf

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Turner has been bothered by a sore calf over the past few days, but the shortstop remains "playable," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Turner certainly didn't appear bothered by the calf issue Tuesday, as he started both games of the team's doubleheader and went 3-for-8 with a home run, two runs and five RBI. He was replaced with a pinch runner in the sixth inning of the nightcap, but that was largely due to the fact that the Dodgers were ahead 11-2 at the time. The injury appears to be very minor, and it's unlikely that it will cause Turner to miss time going forward, though it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get a rest day at some point since he's started 13 games over the past 11 days.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Should play after hurting ankle

    Crawford struck his ankle with his bat on a swing during Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays but expects to be in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Crawford limped to first base on his ninth-inning groundout after hitting himself with his bat and immediately went into the clubhouse with the training staff, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. The 27-year-old went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Tuesday's contest and is hitless for the series.

  • David Fletcher 2B | ATL

    Angels' David Fletcher: Shifts to 60-day IL

    Fletcher (hip) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    The 27-year-old is expected to miss multiple months after undergoing surgery to repair the adductor muscles in both legs last week, so it's not a major surprise he was moved to the 60-day IL to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Fletcher will be eligible to be activated in mid-July, but his recovery timeline likely won't come into focus until he's able to resume baseball activities.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Unlikely to return before Saturday

    Adames (ankle) isn't expected to return before Saturday's game against Washington, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Adames sprained his left ankle Sunday against the Marlins. While he's avoided the injured list for now, the Brewers have yet to write off the possibility. He'll wind up missing at least five days and could miss at least 10 if he shows no improvement Wednesday.

  • Jose Barrero SS | BAL

    Reds' Jose Barrero: Nearing rehab assignment

    Barrero (hand) could start a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville later this week, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Barrero has been out all year after undergoing surgery on the hamate bone in his left hand in late March. He was originally given a six-week timetable but hit a setback in early May. He's making progress again, however, so while he's already missed his originally timeline, his return doesn't appear to be too far off.

  • Tim Anderson 2B | LAA

    White Sox's Tim Anderson: Not starting Game 2

    Anderson is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Anderson went 0-for-4 with a run and a strikeout during the matinee and will take a seat for Game 2 of the twin bill. Leury Garcia will shift to shortstop while Josh Harrison starts at the keystone.

  • Phillies' Johan Camargo: Idle Tuesday

    Camargo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

    Camargo will head to the bench after going 4-for-16 with a home run, a double and a walk over a stretch of four consecutive starts. Two of those starts came at shortstop, where he'll likely see the bulk of his opportunities in the short term while Didi Gregorius (knee) is on the injured list. However, rookie Bryson Stott will get the nod at shortstop Tuesday at Camargo's expense.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Feels better, but IL not dismissed

    Adames (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, and Brewers president of baseball operations David Stearns said the shortstop could still require a stint on the 10-day injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Adames sat out Monday's 1-0 win with the left ankle sprain, an injury that previously forced him out of Sunday's 7-3 victory over the Marlins. Though he'll give way to Luis Urias at shortstop for the second day in a row, Adames showed enough improvement upon reporting to the ballpark Tuesday for the Brewers to push back an IL decision until Wednesday, according to Stearns. That being said, Stearns noted that a trip to the IL is "still on the table" for Adames, who may need to resume baseball activities in some capacity Wednesday to avoid being deactivated for at least the next week.

  • Jeremy Pena SS | HOU

    Astros' Jeremy Pena: Good to go

    Pena (knee) will bat seventh and play shortstop Tuesday against the Red Sox.

    Pena hasn't played since Thursday while recovering from a sore knee, but he'll return here without requiring a trip to the injured list. He's still carrying a nine-game hitting streak he recorded prior to the injury, a stretch in which he slashed .448/.469/.724 with a pair of homers and a steal.

  • Chris Owings SS | LAD

    Orioles' Chris Owings: Sits for third straight

    Owings is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    After a stretch of five consecutive starts last week in which he went 3-for-15 with a double, two walks and three runs, Owings finds himself on the bench for the third game in a row. Even with Ryan Mountcastle (wrist) on the injured list and Jorge Mateo (shoulder/chest), Ramon Urias (abdomen) and Austin Hays (hand) having all recently missed time with injuries, Owings still appears to be behind Tyler Nevin and Ryan McKenna in the pecking order among the team's utility options.
