Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Sitting out Tuesday
Bohm is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Bohm started the first two games for the Phillies after being activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday, but he'll receive some rest Tuesday. Edmundo Sosa -- who is fresh off the IL himself -- will cover third base for Philadelphia in Bohm's stead.

Trey Wingenter RP | CHC
Cubs' Trey Wingenter: Optioned to Triple-A
The Cubs optioned Wingenter to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Wingenter threw 34 pitches over two scoreless innings in Monday's win over the Athletics, so he probably wasn't going to be available for a day or two. Daniel Palencia is taking his spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

Brandon Nimmo RF | TEX
Mets' Brandon Nimmo: On bench versus southpaw
Nimmo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Washington, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Nimmo posted a .544 OPS while starting the previous 13 games, and he'll receive a maintenance day Tuesday as lefty MacKenzie Gore takes the mound for the Nationals. Harrison Bader will start in center field and bat eighth.

Sixto Sanchez SP | MIA
Marlins' Sixto Sanchez: Facing hitters again
Sanchez (shoulder) threw a 20-pitch live batting practice session last Friday, MLB.com reports.
Sanchez has thrown multiple live sessions since landing on the injured list June 2 with right shoulder inflammation, but given his long history of shoulder-related problems, the Marlins don't seem to be preparing him for a return in 2024. The right-hander should at least continue his throwing progression over the final two weeks of the season, setting him up for a relatively normal offseason. Sanchez posted a 6.06 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over 35.2 innings across 14 appearances (seven starts) before being deactivated.

Francisco Lindor SS | NYM
Mets' Francisco Lindor: Absence continuing Tuesday
Lindor (back) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The 30-year-old said Monday that he could return to the lineup within the next 2-to-5 days, so it's not a surprise he remains out of the starting nine for Tuesday's contest. Lindor should be back in action for the Mets later this week, assuming he can avoid a setback with the nagging back injury. Rookie Luisangel Acuna is starting at shortstop Tuesday for New York.

Hunter Greene SP | CIN
Reds' Hunter Greene: Throws 50-pitch simulated game
Greene (elbow) threw 52 pitches over a three-inning simulated game Tuesday at Great American Ball Park, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Greene came out of the session feeling great. While the successful sim game should set him up to return from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday against the Pirates, the team has not yet confirmed as much. If Greene does indeed start Sunday, he would be surely be working on a limited pitch count. The right-hander has been shelved since mid-August with right elbow inflammation.

Dane Myers CF | CIN
Marlins' Dane Myers: Ready for live BP
Myers (ankle) is scheduled to advance his running progression and take live batting practice this week, MLB.com reports.
On the shelf since July 14 after he fractured his left ankle when he kicked a clubhouse door following his ejection from a game a day earlier, Myers looks to be gearing up for a return from the 60-day injured list at some point during the final week of the season. When healthy this season, Myers has typically been used in the short side of a platoon in the Miami outfield. He logged 95 plate appearances prior to landing on the IL and slashed .265/.337/.422 with two home runs and four stolen bases.

Jarred Kelenic LF | TEX
Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Sitting versus southpaw
Kelenic is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.
The lefty-hitting Kelenic will begin the series opener on the bench as the Reds send southpaw Brandon Williamson to the hill. Ramon Laureano -- who has also been stealing some starts from Kelenic versus righties -- will patrol left field for Atlanta.
-
Charlie Blackmon RF | COL
Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: Out against left-hander
Blackmon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Diamondbacks.
Southpaw Jordan Montgomery is on the hill for Arizona, so the left-handed-hitting Blackmon will grab a seat. Hunter Goodman will fill the designated-hitter spot for Colorado.
