Brock Stewart - R - Dodgers

Brock Stewart is expected to serve as the 26th man for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs.

The move will give the Dodgers a fresh arm out of the bullpen for the nightcap. Stewart has a 5.60 ERA over two starts and six relief appearances with the Dodgers this season.

Clayton Kershaw - S - Dodgers

Clayton Kershaw (back) will make a minor league rehab start Saturday for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Kershaw hinted at possibly rejoining the Dodgers' rotation this weekend after completing a simulated game on Monday, but the Dodgers don't want to rush his return. Instead, he'll throw four innings in Triple-A on Saturday, setting up his activation for a probable return next Thursday against the Cubs. Kershaw has made just one start dating back to May 1, but the Dodgers have done a great job holding down the fort.

Matt Kemp - OF - Dodgers

Matt Kemp will bat fifth in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cubs.

It's the same lineup the Dodgers planned to use prior to Monday's postponement. The resurgent Kemp is back in the lineup after getting a day off on Sunday.

Zach Davies - S - Brewers

Zach Davies (shoulder) is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Colorado Springs.

According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, the expectation is that Davies will require three rehab starts. He's already had two DL stints this year due to shoulder issues, so the Brewers want to play it safe. If all goes well, he could be back in early-to-mid July. Davies owns a 5.23 ERA over eight starts with the Brewers this season.

Yu Darvish - S - Cubs

Yu Darvish (triceps) is scheduled to throw a simulated game Wednesday.

Darvish was originally scheduled to throw on Tuesday, but it was pushed back because of the doubleheader. Either way, he's making progress. Pending how he feels coming out of the simulated game, it's possible the next step could be a minor league rehab assignment.

Javier Baez - 2B - Cubs

Javier Baez (elbow) is not in the Cubs' lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

No X-rays were necessary after Baez was hit in the left elbow by a pitch on Sunday, but he was going to sit out Monday's game prior to the postponement. It's possible he could return for the second game of the doubleheader on Tuesday, but Ben Zobrist will start at second base in the first game.

Willson Contreras - C - Cubs

Willson Contreras is not in the Cubs' starting lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Contreras was held out of the lineup before Monday's rainout and will rest for the first game of the doubleheader before starting in the nightcap. Chris Gimenez will start behind the plate and catch Tyler Chatwood.

Joe Musgrove - S - Pirates

MLB issued a $1,000 fine to Joe Musgrove for intentionally hitting Chris Owings of the Diamondbacks with a pitch last Monday.

Musgrove threw at Owings in response to his teammate Josh Harrison getting plunked. Usually pitchers will just say to the media that a pitch got away, but Musgrove admitted after the game that he did it on purpose. He said Monday that he doesn't plan to appeal the fine, but that he might be more careful about his comments in the future.
