Jon Berti Absent From Tuesday's Lineup

Miami Marlins infielder Jon Berti is not in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals. Berti is more of a utility infielder for the Fish now that Joey Wendle is back from the injured list.

Matt Vierling Resting Against Pirates

Detroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling is taking a day off on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The slump has dropped his season line […]

Corey Dickerson Sitting Against Southpaw

Washington Nationals outfielder Corey Dickerson is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against left-hander Jesus Luzardo and the Miami Marlins.

Yandy Diaz Considered Day-To-Day

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (groin) left the game early on Sunday in the first inning with what the team called left-groin tightness.
