Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Murphy will get the night off against the left-handed starter. Mark Reynolds will bat seventh and play first base versus lefty Madison Bumgarner. Reynolds is not a reliable fantasy bat at the moment.
Alex Reyes Sidelined A Few Weeks
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Alex Reyes (chest) will miss two or three starts after straining his pectoral muscle. He's been banged up this season, and hasn't pitched well during his time in the minors. It's unclear when Reyes will be back on the big league team. He likely won't be ready to do that until...

Jake Bauers is Out Again on Tuesday
Cleveland Indians outfielder Jake Bauers (ankle) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Bauers was scratched from Monday's game due to a sprained left ankle.

New York Yankees pitcher Chad Green will draw the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Harrison Bader Sits Out on Tuesday
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Bader has one hit in his last 29 at-bats, so it's not too surprising to see him sitting this one out. Dexter Fowler will cover center field and bat seventh versus righty Chris Bassitt. Fowler...

Daniel Mengden Named Starter for Wednesday
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Daniel Mengden will draw the start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. Frankie Montas (suspension) is out 80 games after testing positive for PEDs.

Carlos Martinez to Serve as Closer
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez is expected to take over the closer role for the Cardinals going forward. Jordan Hicks (elbow) is going to have Tommy John surgery, so he's done for the rest of the season. The Cardinals could always sign someone to pitch the ninth for them, but Martinez should be fine... Read More

Adam Haseley Beginning Rehab Work Monday
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Adam Haseley (groin) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A on Monday.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Judge has not collected a hit since returning from the injured list.
