Arcia (ankle) is out of Tuesday's lineup due to a stomach illness, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

It was reported that Arcia's ankle has returned to full health and that he would have been in Tuesday's starting lineup had it not been for his illness. The team didn't specify Arcia's illness, so consider him day-to-day until further notice. With Arcia out, Eric Sogard is starting at shortstop Tuesday night.

Arcia (ankle) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Maria Torres of The Kansas City Star reports.

Arcia left Friday's game against the Marlins with a right ankle injury, and while his X-rays were negative, he's yet to return to the lineup. It was reported over the weekend that he could end up on the disabled list if he's unable to play against the Royals, but Arcia seems adamant that he will be fine. Eric Sogard continues to start at shortstop in his absence.

Crawford is not in the lineup Tuesday against Arizona.

Crawford started against the first lefty that the Phillies faced this season but has now been on the bench against the last five. The 23-year-old has a .376 OPS against lefties compared to .695 against righties so far in his brief major-league career, so expect the Phillies to keep protecting him against southpaws. That should help his batting average while hurting his counting stats. Pedro Florimon makes a rare start in his place Tuesday.

Anderson is batting first against the Mariners on Tuesday.

Yoan Moncada is Chicago's typical leadoff hitter, but with lefty Marco Gonzales toeing the rubber for Seattle, Anderson will take a turn atop the order. The speedy shortstop has mashed southpaws in his career, hitting .323 with a .470 slugging percentage over the past three seasons.

Camargo will be used in a utility role moving forward, Gabriel Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The 24-year-old headed into spring training atop the depth chart at third base, but an oblique injury last month gave Ryan Flaherty an opportunity to seize that job, and now the Braves plan to give Jose Bautista a look at the hot corner as well. Camargo put up a solid .783 OPS in 82 games as a rookie last year, but his minor-league numbers don't suggest he possesses a starter-quality bat, and a role off the bench likely suits him better in the long run.

Turner has been given a green light to run whenever he wants by manager Dave Martinez unless he's been specifically told to stay put, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

Martinez's faith in his shortstop's ability on the basepaths has been rewarded, as Turner notched his ninth steal in nine attempts during Monday's loss to the Giants. Teammate Michael Taylor is enjoying the same privilege, and between the two of them they've led the Nats to the top of MLB with 27 stolen bases -- six more than the second-place White Sox -- and their overall 84.4 percent success rate also ranks the team among the league leaders. Turner set a career high with 46 steals in 98 games last year, but his current pace would see him shatter that mark.

Adames hit for the cycle while going 4-for-5 in Triple-A Durham's 8-1 win over Buffalo on Monday. He compiled three RBI and scored twice.

The spectacular night came one day after Adames slugged his first career grand slam against Lehigh Valley, Rob Terranova of MiLB.com reports. Adames saw his average jump 45 points with his four-hit effort, and he's now hit safely in six straight games. Following a slow start to his campaign, Adames' line is up to .345/.441/.582 over his first 16 contests.

Seager is not in the lineup Monday against the Marlins.

The young star has nine hits in the past seven games, but he'll head to the bench for his second night off of the season with lefty Jarlin Garcia taking the hill for Miami. Enrique Hernandez will pick up a start at shortstop in his stead.

Gordon (foot) is back in the lineup after missing just one start, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gordon didn't start Sunday while nursing a sore foot, but he was able to make a pinch-hit appearance. The issue was clearly a minor one as he's already back in the starting lineup. Gordon is hitting .321 with a league-leading nine steals in his first 20 games for Seattle.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Twins on Sunday.

The versatile infielder was a thorn in the side of Twins pitching during the three-game set, going 6-for-13 with a triple, Sunday's RBI and three runs. It's the extension of a stellar April for Wendle, one that's seen him hit .333 over 59 plate appearances while lacing six extra-base hits (three doubles, two triples, one home run).
