    Nate Eaton is in left field and hitting leadoff on Tuesday against the Rockies.

    The free-falling Red Sox are turning to Eaton in the leadoff spot after dropping Monday’s series opener at Coors Field in stunning fashion following a ninth-inning meltdown on several fronts. The versatile 29-year-old has gone 1-for-8 with a home run and a stolen base in five games since being called up from Triple-A Worcester earlier this month.

    Jazz Chisholm Jr. was removed from Monday’s series opener against the Tigers following a collision with teammate Jasson Domínguez.

    Chisholm took the brunt of the collision when Domínguez ran through him while attempting to field a pop-up in shallow right field, making contact with his head. It appeared Domínguez either didn’t call him off or Chisholm didn’t hear the call in time. The 28-year-old second baseman was able to walk off the field under his own power and didn’t lose consciousness on the play. He’ll undergo evaluation for a possible concussion. There should be an update on his status following the contest.

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters they haven’t decided whether Shohei Ohtani will pitch in next month’s All-Star Game.

    It’s going to be a tough decision for the National League skipper since Brewers flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski and Phillies ace Cristopher Sánchez both are deserving candidates to start the Midsummer Classic. There’s no scenario where Ohtani will be able to pitch in relief since he’s in the lineup at DH and won’t be able to warm up during the game. Simply put, Ohtani is either going to start the game or not pitch at all. There might not be a decision either way for a couple weeks.

    Willson Contreras was ejected from Monday’s game against the Nationals.

    Contreras was ejected by first base umpire Nic Lentz for tapping his helmet while walking back to the dugout following a second-inning strikeout. He was apparently upset after Lentz wrung him up on a check swing to end the at-bat. He launched a three-run homer off Nationals starter Miles Mikolas in his first at-bat of the contest. It will go down as one of the more absurd ejections of the entire season to put it mildly. Contreras has been involved in a number of bizarre incidents during his Red Sox debut, but his on-field production has remained at elite levels, hitting .282/.376/.533 with 18 home runs and 53 RBI through 81 games.

    Tomoyuki Sugano is dealing with a finger issue and will have his next start pushed back to later this week.

    It’ll be Tanner Gordon coming off the injured list to start against the Marlins on Tuesday in Sugano’s place. The 36-year-old was torched for seven runs over five innings in his previous outing against the Twins last Friday. It appears the he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list and take the ball against the Giants later this week.

    Brandon Pfaadt is likely to be recalled to start Tuesday’s game against the Giants.

    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters that Pfaadt will take the ball against San Francisco unless he’s abducted by aliens. In other words, he’s lined up to start Tuesday night at Chase Field barring a full-on X-Files scenario. The 27-year-old gets another look in Arizona’s injury-depleted rotation following three straight encouraging outings for Triple-A Reno after an early-June demotion. He’s unlikely to shoulder a significant workload, but there’s definitely some short-term appeal in deeper mixed leagues against a pedestrian Giants lineup.

    Henry Bolte is in center field and hitting leadoff on Monday against the Dodgers.

    Bolte finds himself in the leadoff spot for the sixth consecutive game during Monday’s series opener at Dodger Stadium. The 22-year-old rookie’s staggering 66 percent groundball rate is a real cause for concern, but he has a chance to be an extremely impactful fantasy contributor if he starts getting the ball in the air with greater regularity. He’s hitting .299/.385/.388 with two homers, 12 RBI and 10 steals in 157 plate appearances over 42 games since ascending to the big leagues.

    Willy Adames (back) is out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Diamondbacks.

    It’s notable that Adames hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet after making an early exit from Sunday’s contest against the Braves with back spasms. He’s day-to-day for now. It’ll be Casey Schmitt, who returns to San Francisco’s lineup following a one-game absence due to illness, taking over at shortstop on Monday night at Chase Field in his absence. There should be a final decision on Adames prior to Tuesday’s showdown.

    Orioles recalled LHP Josh Walker from Triple-A Norfolk.

    Walker rejoins Baltimore’s bullpen mix for Monday’s series opener against the White Sox with fellow southpaw Keegan Akin hitting the shelf with an elbow issue. The 31-year-old has made three relief appearances for the Orioles this season.

    Orioles placed LHP Keegan Akin on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 28, with left elbow discomfort.

    No timetable yet for Akin, but elbow issues typically result in lengthy absences. The 31-year-old lefty has struggled to an inflated 5.68 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 17/9 K/BB ratio across 25 1/3 innings this season.

    Mariners placed DH Rob Refsnyder on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 27, with right knee inflammation.

    Refsnyder is dealing with a knee issue. It’ll be newly acquired Buddy Kennedy taking his spot on Seattle’s roster prior to Monday’s contest against the division-rival Angels.
