The Pirates placed Santana (personal) on the bereavement list Tuesday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Santana will step away from the team for a few days in order to tend to a personal matter. David Bednar is back in the closer mix after a brief stint at Triple-A Indianapolis, and he'll be the favorite for saves while Santana is away from the club.

The Pirates recalled Stratton from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Stratton -- who has allowed seven runs with a 9:4 K:BB in 11.2 innings with Indianapolis this season -- is taking the roster spot vacated by Dennis Santana, who was placed on the bereavement list. He will likely be up only for a few days while Santana is away.

Winn is batting second for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Winn has routinely batted in the nine hole for the Cardinals this season, but St. Louis is looking for a jolt on the road and shuffling the order some. With Winn hitting second, Victor Scott is in the nine hole. Since returning from the injured list, Winn has slashed .250/.304/.350 across 21 plate appearances.

Pages is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Cincinnati.

Walker is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.

It's a routine day off for Walker. Lars Nootbaar is shifting over to right field Tuesday, while Brendan Donovan gets the start in left field for the Cardinals.

McNeil is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona.

Nimmo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Nimmo is coming off a monster day at the plate Monday that saw him pop a pair of home runs and drive in nine, but he's getting a breather with left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound for Arizona. Jose Azocar is in left field and batting ninth for the Mets.

Thomas is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Mets.

With southpaw David Peterson on the bump for the Mets, the left-handed-hitting Thomas will begin the festivities on the bench. Jorge Barrosa is starting in center field and batting ninth for the Diamondbacks.

Naylor is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

It's the first day off this season for Naylor, who has slashed .318/.388/.505 with four home runs over his first 28 contests in 2025. Pavin Smith is starting at first base and batting seventh in the series opener.

Kepler is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
