Amed Rosario Sitting Tuesday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Washington Nationals. Rosario will get a breather after going 1-for-9 in the last two games.

Mike Moustakas Out Of Lineup Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Houston Astros.

Travis Shaw […]

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl (ankle) did not make the road trip with the team and continues to rehab in Colorado, according to manager Bud Black.
