  • J.D. Martinez scratched Tuesday with ankle soreness
    J.D. Martinez was scratched from Tuesday’s lineup due to left ankle soreness.

    Advice: It sounds like a precautionary move here by the Mets as they don’t want to take any chances with Brandon Nimmo (head) already sitting out due to injury. The 36-year-old veteran slugger will presumably be available to pinch-hit, if needed, during Tuesday’s contest against the Nationals. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:09 pm
     
  • Scratched with ankle soreness
    Martinez was scratched from the Mets' lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus Washington due to left ankle soreness, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The severity of Martinez's injury isn't immediately apparent, but it's enough of a nuisance to keep him from playing Tuesday. Luis Torrens will step into the lineup as New York's designated hitter and bat sixth while Martinez rests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:00 pm
     
  • Could begin running soon
    Harris (hamstring) could begin running soon, Grant McAuley of 929 The Game reports.

    Advice: Harris is two-and-a-half weeks removed from suffering a Grade 2 left hamstring strain. There is no timetable yet for his return to Atlanta's active roster, but at this point it seems likely that he'll be held out until after the All-Star break. Jarred Kelenic has shifted over to center field to cover for Harris. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:55 pm
     
  • Brandon Nimmo remains absent from Tuesday’s lineup
    Brandon Nimmo (head) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Nationals.

    Advice: The positive news here is that Nimmo is merely dealing with a forehead laceration that he suffered on Sunday night when he fell in his hotel room. The 31-year-old outfielder, who boasts a .291 (34-for-117) average with six homers and two steals over his last 30 games, will sit out a second straight contest on Tuesday evening, but it doesn’t appear that he’s facing a lengthy absence. It’ll be Jeff McNeil in left field once again in his place. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:33 pm
     
  • Back from injured list

  • Still out of lineup
    Nimmo (forehead) is absent from the starting lineup Tuesday against Washington.

    Advice: Nimmo sustained a cut on his forehead Sunday night after falling in his hotel room. While he cleared concussion testing, he'll be held out of the lineup for a second straight night. Jeff McNeil will bat ninth and fill left field. Per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Nimmo will likely available off the bench Tuesday and expects to be back in the lineup Wednesday.

    Gordon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Gordon is riding a seven-game hit steak, but he'll be idle for a second consecutive contest despite righty Kutter Crawford being on the mound for Boston. Bryan De La Cruz will fill left field and bat second Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:51 am
