  • Could be headed to IL
    Martin could be placed on the injured list prior to Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It's not clear exactly what injury Martin is dealing with. He last pitched on May 30, giving up three runs on a couple home runs. If a roster move is indeed made, Martin is expected to be replaced by Zack Kelly. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Still on track for London start
    Suarez (hand) played catch without any apparent issues Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: He gave a thumbs up to reporters afterward and Phillies manager Rob Thomson said of Suarez that "it looks good so far." Suarez will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, and assuming that goes well he's expected to be cleared to start against the Mets this weekend in London. The lefty had to depart his last outing Saturday versus the Cardinals after being struck on the pitching hand by a comebacker. Rotowire.com Today, 1:06 pm
     
  • Out Tuesday, still DTD
    Tucker (lower leg) isn't part of the Astros starting lineup Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Tucker will get the day off after fouling a ball off his right shin Monday night. While X-rays came back negative and manager Joe Espada said Tucker is "feeling better", the outfielder will continue to have his leg examined to ensure that he's merely dealing with a bruise. The Astros could opt to sit Tucker on Wednesday considering it has a team day off Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:48 pm

  • Avoids significant injury
    Tucker has been diagnosed with a bruised right shin and X-rays on the area came back negative, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

    Advice: Tucker appeared to be in serious pain after fouling a ball off his shin during Monday's game against the Cardinals, but he seems to have escaped a significant injury. He'll be considered day-to-day and will likely be re-evaluated again Tuesday morning to determine his availability for the rest of the week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:26 pm

  • Kyle Tucker exits game with shin injury
    Kyle Tucker left Monday’s game in the third inning after fouling a ball off his right shin.

    Advice: Unfortunately, it got him just above the shin guard he wears on the leg. With any luck, this will just be a day-to-day injury for Tucker. Mauricio Dubón replaced him against the Cardinals. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:24 pm

  • Drops to eighth in batting order
    Carroll is starting in center field and batting eighth Monday night against the Giants, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Advice: Carroll's struggles at the dish have continued, as he's slashing .205/.289/.333 over his last 10 contests. Skipper Torey Lovullo noted that he'll likely bump Carroll down in the order against lefties moving forward, per Weiner. This change clears the way for Gabriel Moreno to move into the No. 2 spot in the order Monday evening. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:10 pm
     
  • Corbin Carroll dropped to eighth in lineup
    The Diamondbacks have Corbin Carroll batting eighth tonight against Giants left-hander Erik Miller.

    Advice: Gabriel Moreno is batting second in his place. This might just be a special-occasion switch, since Miller is being looked at as an opener and dropping Carroll means he might not bat until righty Spencer Howard enters the game. The Diamondbacks typically dropped Carroll in the lineup against lefties last year, but that hasn’t been the case this season; he’s hit first or second against both lefties and righties, aside for a 10-game span in late April and early May in which he was dropped to the bottom of the order versus everyone. Arizona faces a lefty again tomorrow, so unless Torey Lovullo comments, we’ll have to wait and see whether this is a one-time thing, a change versus lefties or a semi-permanent move. The slumping Carroll’s batted-ball numbers got better for a time last month, even if his actual statistics didn’t. Unfortunately, though, they’ve faded again lately. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:52 pm
