Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson is getting a day of rest on Tuesday against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers. In his absence, Luke Maile will do the catching for rookie left-hander Andrew Abbott while batting ninth against Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes.

J.D. Martinez Returning On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (hamstring) will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

C.J. Cron Hopes To Play By Friday

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron (back) said that he won't be in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals and probably won't be in there on Wednesday, either.

PROSPECT: Masyn Winn, SS, St. Louis Cardinals ANALYSIS: To the surprise of nearly everyone, the St. Louis Cardinals have struggled mightily this season and are currently nine games out of the 3rd wild card spot in the National League.

Mike Trout Does Some Running

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) did some running drills on Tuesday, but he isn't expected back from the injured list until August while recovering from a fractured left hamate bone that required surgery.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left-hamstring strain sustained in Monday's series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday night's contest against the Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Kyle Gibson.

Javier Baez Back In The Starting Lineup Tuesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday night's series opener versus Los Angeles Angels right-hander Griffin Canning.
