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.

Basallo (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

It's the second straight absence from the lineup for Basallo after he exited Sunday's contest due to right shoulder discomfort. The 21-year-old indicated his shoulder is already feeling better and that he should be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, per Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com. Adley Rutschman (wrist) is already on the IL, leaving Sam Huff and Chadwick Tromp to split catching duties if Basallo misses more time.

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.

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.

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.

Collins is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Giants.

It looks like a routine day off for Collins, who had started each of the previous 10 contests. Starling Marte will get a start in left field Tuesday as Collins rests.

Witt (back) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Giants.

Witt returned to the lineup Monday after a one-game absence due to lower-back tightness, but he had to be pulled mid-game after aggravating the injury. There are no indications at this point that Witt might need a trip to the injured list, so for now he should be considered day-to-day. Tyler Tolbert is playing shortstop and batting ninth for the Royals on Tuesday.

The Nationals recalled Yean from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

The right-hander received his first promotion to the majors July 5 and made his debut that day versus Pittsburgh, firing two scoreless frames before returning to Rochester. Yean has pitched to a 3.35 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 47:20 K:BB across 43 innings for Rochester this year, and it may not take much for him to stick around Washington's bullpen given the immense struggles the unit has gone through this year.

The Nationals designated Lawrence for assignment Tuesday.

Lawrence was a waiver claim in late June and allowed three runs with a 6:7 K:BB over 6.1 innings with the Nationals. The righty holds a 7.34 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 43:28 K:BB across 34.1 frames between the Nats, Twins and Pirates this season, and this is the third time since late May that he's been designated for assignment.

Bailey is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Austin Hedges will receive the nod behind the plate Tuesday while Bailey rests for the second game of the series. In Monday's 13-4 victory, Bailey caught all nine innings while producing a season-high four hits, including his fourth home run of the campaign.
