  • LAD Right Fielder #23

    Kyle Tucker is not in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Rockies.
    Tucker, who went 3-for-5 with his third round-tripper of the season on Sunday, receives his first day off since April 5 with Colorado throwing veteran lefty Jose Quintana at Coors Field. Alex Call gets a chance to patrol right field in his place.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #28

    Jake Bloss, who is making his way back from Tommy John surgery, pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings for the FCL Blue Jays on Tuesday.
    He struck out four. Bloss underwent surgery almost exactly a year ago. He’ll likely remain in Triple-A once his rehab is complete, but he could be an option as a starter for the Jays during the second half of the season.
    Mariners welcome Padres for Sunday Night Baseball
    Interconference rivals go head-to-head on Sunday Night Baseball as the NL West leading San Diego Padres visit the Seattle Mariners.
  • MLB Commissioner
    Sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan that MLB and the MLBPA are currently holding their first official talks regarding a new collective-bargaining agreement.
    The current CBA expires on Dec. 1, at which point MLB is widely expected to lock out the players. The league is going to argue for a salary cap system, which the players, of course, want no part of. Most likely, the lockout will linger into at least February and quite possibly March but hopefully no longer before an agreement gets done.
  • ATL Catcher #12
    Braves placed C Sean Murphy on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left middle finger.
    Murphy lasted just six days on the active roster before getting hurt on a catcher’s interference during Sunday’s game. Sandy Léon will place him as Drake Baldwin’s backup, but the bigger beneficiary here is Dominic Smith, who will resume seeing more time at DH against righties with Murphy absent.
  • ATL Catcher #8
    Braves signed C Sandy Léon to a one-year contract.
    The Braves released Léon last month so that he could go play in Mexico, but now with Sean Murphy hurt again and Jonah Heim gone to the A’s, he’s returning to serve as Drake Baldwin’s backup. Léon was 4-for-34 in Triple-A before leaving Gwinnett. He went 1-for-12 in five games with the Braves last year, with his lone hit being a homer off Craig Kimbrel.
  • ATL Left Fielder #28
    Braves selected the contract of OF José Azócar from Triple-A Gwinnett.
    Azócar appeared in two games for the Braves earlier this season, going 0-for-2. The former Padre is a lifetime .243/,288/.318 hitter in 420 plate appearances. He’ll occupy a bench spot until Ronald Acuña Jr. comes off the injured list.
  • ATL Shortstop
    Braves optioned INF Jim Jarvis to Triple-A Gwinnett.
    Jarvis appeared in two games for the Braves, going 1-for-5. He’s expendable now that Ha-Seong Kim is back from the injured list.
  • NYM Center Fielder
    Mets selected the contract of OF A.J. Ewing from Triple-A Syracuse.
    The 21-year-old Ewing is joining a Mets club desperate for any sort of boost. He hit .339/.447/.514 with two homers and 17 steals in 30 games between Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse. The power won’t carry over very well, but the on-base skills might and he figures to remain aggressive on the basepaths, potentially making him of some use in mixed leagues. He figures to start regularly against righties at least until Luis Robert Jr. returns and the Mets reevaluate things.
  • NYM 2nd Baseman #77
    Mets designated INF Andy Ibáñez for assignment.
    Ibáñez’s brief Mets career is probably over after he went 0-for-6 with two sacrifice flies in three games. Including his time with the A’s, he’s 2-for-23 on the season.
  • BAL Relief Pitcher #70
    Orioles optioned RHP Jose Espada to Triple-A Norfolk.
    Espada has pitched one scoreless inning in two brief stints with the Orioles this season.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #28
    Orioles activated LHP Trevor Rogers from the 15-day injured list.
    Rogers will face the Yankees tonight after missing two starts due to an illness. He had a 9.53 ERA in his most recent three starts before landing on the IL.
