  • Tristan Beck RP | SF

    Giants' Tristan Beck: Recalled Tuesday

    The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

    In a corresponding move, the Giants placed Trevor McDonald on the 15-day IL Tuesday due to an elbow strain. Beck made five appearances with Sacramento after being optioned June 24. Across those appearances, he gave up four earned runs on seven hits, two homers and five walks across 8.2 innings.

  • Phillies' Garrett Stubbs: Lands on injured list

    The Phillies placed Stubbs on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to July 18, due to left wrist inflammation, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    It's unclear how exactly Stubbs sustained the injury given that he hasn't seen game action since July 10, but he'll be unavailable for at least the next week. Bryan De La Cruz was added to the major-league roster in a corresponding move.

  • Giants' Trevor McDonald: Lands on injured list

    The Giants placed McDonald on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow strain, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

    McDonald made an early exit from his start Monday after suffering an injury while warming up for the fifth inning, and he'll now officially have to miss a few turns through the rotation. Tristan Beck will come up from Triple-A Sacramento to give the Giants some extra bullpen depth while the team sorts out its rotation plans.

  • Jake Bauers 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Exiting starting lineup

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

    The left-handed-hitting Bauers often plays against lefty hurlers, but he will begin Tuesday's game on the bench as the Mets send rookie southpaw Zac Thornton to the bump. Luis Lara will patrol right field for the Brewers, and Andrew Vaughn will play first base.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Taking seat Tuesday

    Yelich is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

    The Mets are starting a left-hander in Zac Thornton, offering the Brewers a chance to get the lefty-swinging Yelich off his feet for a day. William Contreras will be used in the designated hitter spot, and Gary Sanchez will do the catching.

  • Dominic Smith DH | ATL

    Braves' Dominic Smith: Not in Tuesday's lineup

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

    The veteran unsurprisingly remained on the bench Monday with lefty JP Sears taking the mound for San Diego, but Smith's absence Tuesday is coming against righty Walker Buehler. Mike Yastrzemski (elbow) is serving as the designated hitter in his return from the injured list.

  • Giants' Daniel Susac: Out of San Francisco lineup

    Susac is not in the lineup for Tuesday's tilt in Kansas City.

    The Giants have eased Susac back into things following his return from the injured list last week, as this is the third time he's been on the bench in five games. It will be Jesus Rodriguez's turn behind the plate Tuesday.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | PHI

    Giants' Luis Arraez: Rare day off Tuesday

    Arraez is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Kansas City.

    It's a rare breather for Arraez, who had started each of the previous 20 contests. Christian Koss will grab a start at second base for the Giants in Arraez's stead.

  • Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Out of Dodgers' lineup

    Rushing is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Philadelphia.

    Rushing started Monday's series opener but will retreat to the bench for the second game of the three-game set. Eliezer Alfonzo will take over behind the plate for the Dodgers.

  • Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Day off amid rough patch

    Hernandez is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Philadelphia.

    Hernandez has managed a lowly .125/.194/.196 batting line in 16 contests since coming off the injured list in late June. Alex Call will patrol left field for the Dodgers while Hernandez gets a reset.
