Lopez (finger) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Tuesday against the Astros, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Lopez sat out the Marlins' last two games while recovering from a finger injury he suffered while fielding a groundball Saturday. The issue appears to have subsided ahead of Tuesday's contest, however, so he'll reclaim his regular spot at shortstop. The 27-year-old has had an outstanding July up to this point, slashing .345/.377/.618 with two homers, nine RBI, eight runs and two steals in 13 games.

Montgomery (shin) was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

After fouling a pitch off his right shin Monday against the Rangers, the 24-year-old shortstop was initially penciled in to start Tuesday's contest. Montgomery will instead miss at least one start due to the injury and should be considered day-to-day with the bruise.

Montgomery (shin) was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Montgomery was originally set to remain in the lineup Tuesday after fouling a ball off his right shin Monday, but he'll instead receive the day off to recover. Luisangel Acuna will fill in as Chicago's shortstop and bat eighth.

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.

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.

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.

Palacios is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Palacios started the previous three contests and will receive a day off after going 2-for-10 with two walks, a double, a steal and one run during that span. Ben Williamson is picking up a start at the keystone Tuesday and is batting seventh against Toronto righty Kevin Gausman.

Montgomery (shin) will start at shortstop and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Montgomery had to be lifted from Monday's series opener after fouling a ball off his right shin. However, he escaped with merely a contusion and is feeling well enough to give it a go Tuesday.

Feduccia is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

It's the second straight day that the left-handed-hitting Feduccia is not starting against a righty hurler (in this case, Kevin Gausman). Nick Fortes will get another start after going 2-for-4 with a homer in Monday's series opener.

Mesa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

Mesa had homered in three straight contests -- including in Monday's series opener -- but he'll grab a seat Tuesday. Jonny DeLuca will handle right field for the Rays.
