Rockies calling up prospect OF Kyle Parker

Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports that the Rockies are calling up prospect outfielder Kyle Parker.

The Rockies have yet to make an official announcement. Parker, 24, is batting .292/.347/.478 line with seven home runs and 38 RBI over 66 games in Triple-A this season. He could see playing time in the corner outfield spots with Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer both sidelined in addition to spelling Justin Morneau at first base.

Moncada (shin) returns to White Sox lineup

Yoan Moncada (shin) is starting at second base and batting second Tuesday versus the Angels.

Moncada sat out Monday's series opener against Anaheim due to a nagging shin issue. An MRI showed no structural damage and he should be fine for Chicago's final six regular-season games.

Yadi Molina (concussion) sitting out Tuesday

Yadier Molina (head) is out of the Cardinals' lineup Tuesday versus the Cubs.

Molina was removed from Monday's series opener after taking consecutive foul tips off his mask in the top of the seventh inning. He did not look to be in very good shape as he slowly made his way off the field and the veteran catcher could very well be done for the remainder of the 2017 regular season. Carson Kelly is starting behind the plate and batting eighth Tuesday night against Chicago.

Murphy out of Nats' lineup again on Tuesday

Daniel Murphy is out of the Nationals' lineup again on Tuesday.

Murphy was held out of Monday's lineup with what manager Dusty Baker described as "general soreness." Apparently he's not quite right just yet, and the Nationals don't have any need to push things this close to the playoffs. Howie Kendrick will play second base.

Bryce Harper batting second in return Tuesday

Bryce Harper (knee) will bat second in his return from the disabled list Tuesday against the Phillies.

Harper has been testing himself in simulated games, but this will be his first real game action since injuring his left knee by slipping on the first base bag back on August 12. It's unclear if he'll play every day the rest of the way, but the Nationals are hoping to get him back in rhythm before the NLDS begins. Harper has mostly hit third this season, so it will be interesting to see if this is what the Nationals have in mind for him for the postseason.

Javier Baez (knee) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Baez will get some additional rest after fouling a ball off his right knee during Monday's game. Ben Zobrist will start at second base and bat leadoff against Carlos Martinez.

Mookie Betts (wrist) not in Tuesday's lineup

Mookie Betts (wrist) is not in Tuesday's lineup versus the Blue Jays.

Betts was pulled from Monday's game with left wrist discomfort and was scheduled to be examined on Tuesday. Red Sox manager John Farrell indicated that they were just playing things safe, but more should be known about his status soon. Chris Young will make the start in right field.

Report: Mets to tender contract to Harvey

According to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, the Mets will tender a contract to Matt Harvey for next season.

There has been plenty of chatter about Harvey's future amid his struggles and continued injury issues, but Mets general manager Sandy Alderson recently indicated that the Mets were strongly leaning in that direction. The 28-year-old has a miserable 6.60 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 17 starts and one relief appearance this season, but Heyman hears that the Mets are encouraged by his recent velocity. He's likely to see only a small raise from his $5.125 million salary via arbitration, so it's a worthy gamble to bring him back for his walk year.

Mets already considering Collins replacements

According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, Terry Collins is expected to be informed as early as next Monday that his contract won't be renewed for next season.

Previous reports have indicated the same thing, so it appears to be a foregone conclusion at this point. The Mets have had all sorts of injuries this season, so their poor season can't be blamed on Collins alone, but this could be the ideal time to start with a clean slate. According to Puma, Robin Ventura, Alex Cora and Kevin Long are "early persons of interest" as the club compiles a list of potential replacements. Bob Geren and Chip Hale could also be in the mix. The search should intensity soon.

Matt Olson has Grade 2 hamstring strain

Matt Olson has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain.

He's done for the season, as Athletics manager Bob Melvin had previously indicated was likely. It's a rotten way for Olson's campaign to end, but the rookie had a mighty impressive showing with 24 home runs over just 59 games.
