Matt Albers Activated on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Matt Albers (hamstring) has been activated from the disabled list on Tuesday. He missed the last couple of weeks due to a hamstring issue.

Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
