Corbin Carroll Sitting Versus Southpaw

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves.

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jonathan India (knee) has been scratched from Tuesday's starting lineup against the Colorado Rockies.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow (back) is going on the 15-day injured list with a back issue, according to manager Dave Roberts. Glasnow's back tightened up on him when he played catch on Sunday, so he'll hit the shelf and rest up during next week's All-Star break. Perhaps this is why Glasnow has allowed […]
