Collins isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Collins will get a chance to regroup Tuesday after going just 2-for-14 across his last six games. Jackson Chourio will slide over to left field to cover for Collins, opening up center field for Blake Perkins.

Bauers isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Bauers will take a seat Tuesday after making four consecutive starts at first base, during which he went 2-for-11 with an RBI and two runs scored. Andrew Vaughn will replace him in the starting nine and bat sixth.

Lee is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

Lee has a .178/.240/.289 slash line through 13 games in September and will take a seat Tuesday after starting the previous four contests. Ryan Fitzgerald will instead start at shortstop and bat eighth versus New York righty Cam Schlittler.

Keaschall is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

Keaschall will hit the bench after a run of 12 straight starts, during which he batted .320 (16-for-50) with three walks, two doubles, five steals, eight RBI and seven runs. Austin Martin will shift to second base while James Outman receives a start in left field.

The Giants recalled McDonald from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

McDonald has spent the entire season in Triple-A, where he owns a 5.37 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 142.1 innings while working primarily as a starter. He'll provide the Giants with another long relief option, replacing Keaton Winn.

The Giants optioned Winn to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Winn gave up five earned runs across eight innings during his latest stint in the majors. He'll now return to Triple-A to make room for Trevor McDonald, who will provide San Francisco with a fresh bullpen arm.

Edwards (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Tuesday will mark Edwards' third consecutive missed start since being scratched from Saturday's lineup with right wrist discomfort. While he takes another day to recover, Javier Sanoja will pick up a start at the keystone and bat ninth.

Kim is out of the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Kim started at shortstop in the matinee and went 2-for-4 with two runs scored. The 29-year-old will head to the bench for the nightcap, allowing Nick Allen to pick up a start at shortstop.

Kolek is slated to start Thursday's game versus the Mariners in Kansas City, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Following his Sept. 4 call-up from Triple-A Omaha, Kolek will be making his third straight turn through the rotation. The Royals will return Michael Wacha (personal) from the paternity list Tuesday and Cole Ragans (shoulder) from the injured list Wednesday, but Kolek will pick up another start after Seth Lugo (back) recently succumbed to a setback that could jeopardize his availability for the remainder of the season. Over his last two outings, Kolek has produced a 1.98 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB in 13.2 innings.

Manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that Alvarez has a "pretty significant" left ankle sprain and will be "out for a while," though the Astros won't be placing him on the injured list, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The description of the injury makes it sound as though Alvarez could be done for the rest of the regular season, but Houston apparently wants to keep their options open with the slugger rather than place him on the IL. Should the Astros change their mind and backdate an IL move, Alvarez might still be able to play in a series against the Angels on the final weekend. Regardless of the 28-year-old's roster status, Alvarez won't be back in the lineup in the immediate future.
