Cronenworth is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus Milwaukee.

Cronenworth will get a breather after going 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Brewers. Mason McCoy will take over at second base and bat ninth in his place.

Woo (pectoral) won't start in his usual rotation spot Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

General manager Justin Hollander said Tuesday that the team still doesn't plan to place Woo on the injured list, and that the right-hander will instead play catch Wednesday or Thursday rather than start a game against the Rockies. A better idea of how far away the 25-year-old is from returning will likely emerge after his throwing session.

Machado is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

Machado will take a seat for just the second time this season as the Padres go to battle with Milwaukee. The Padres clinched a playoff berth by winning Monday's series opener 5-4 in 11 innings, so it makes sense to give Machado a little extra rest. Jose Iglesias will draw the start at third base and bat sixth in his place.

The Padres optioned Wagner to the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday.

Wagner was optioned to create space on the active roster for Xander Bogaerts's (foot) reinstation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Wagner was recalled Aug. 24 to fill in for Jackson Merrill, who had an ankle injury at the time. Since then, Wagner got just 13 plate appearances in the 13 games he played in and reached base twice.

Tatis (illness) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

Tatis has been battling a series of illnesses, including influenza and COVID-19, and he'll remain sidelined Tuesday. Ramon Laureano will draw the start in right field and bat fourth versus Milwaukee.

The Padres activated Bogaerts (foot) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

In a corresponding move Tuesday, the Padres optioned Will Wagner to the Arizona Complex League. It was initially thought Bogaerts would return during this past weekend or Monday, but he had delays regarding his pregame workouts for his fractured foot. The shortstop is batting second Tuesday at home versus the Brewers, who are sending lefty Bruce Zimmermann to the mound.

Pages isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Giants, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Pages increased his hitting streak to four games with a double in Monday's contest, but he'll retreat to the bench Tuesday while Jimmy Crooks starts behind the plate and bats seventh.

Donovan (groin) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

The Cardinals expected Donovan to return to the starting nine Tuesday after he was scratched Monday with a groin injury, but he'll instead take another day to recover while Jose Fermin starts at the keystone. With just five games left on the regular-season schedule and St. Louis flirting with elimination from postseason contention, the Cardinals may opt to shut Donovan down for the rest of the year if his condition doesn't improve soon.

The Blue Jays placed France on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with left oblique inflammation.

France's injury will force him to miss the remainder of the regular season, though he will be eligible to return before the start of the ALDS. His move to the IL will clear a roster spot for Anthony Santander (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

The Blue Jays reinstated Santander (shoulder) from the injured list Tuesday.

Santander had been out since late May with a left shoulder injury but began playing in rehab games with Triple-A Buffalo on Sept. 11. Since starting up his assignment, the 30-year-old slugger has gone 7-for-32 (.219) with two homers, five RBI and four runs scored across 10 games. Now fully healthy, he'll likely take over as Toronto's primary designated hitter for the remainder of the regular season and postseason despite posting a .577 OPS in 209 plate appearances before going down. Ty France (oblique) was placed on the IL in a corresponding move, and Alek Manoah was DFA'd to clear space on the 40-man roster.
