Below are the projected starting lineups for each team playing on Tuesday's MLB slate. For real-time updates to these lineups, check out our Action Labs MLB lineups page.
Update 5:45 p.m. ET: Both Tatis and Bellinger are out of the lineups for the Padres and Dodgers, respectively. Tatis has been replaced by Ha-seong Kim, while Zach McKinstry is in Bellinger's place.
Superstar shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. left Tuesday's game between the Padres and Giants after injuring his arm while taking a swing. The injury looked particularly bad in the moment, when the $340-million man fell to the ground in what looked to be a significant amount of pain.
The Padres announced he had a left shoulder subluxation, which is a partial dislocation. The team said he would be re-evaluated on Tuesday, but a trip to the IL seems likely.
With Tatis Jr. likely out Tuesday and for an undetermined amount of time, we project Ha-seong Kim to get the start at shortstop for San Diego. Kim, 25, signed a free agent deal with the Padres in the offseason after a successful professional career in Korea.
Former MVP Cody Bellinger left the Dodgers' win over the Athletics on Tuesday after being spiked in the leg in a collision at first base. The Dodgers were up big at the time, so it could have just been precautionary, but his status is worth monitoring. As of this writing, we are projecting Bellinger to be in the Dodgers' lineup on Tuesday.
Be sure to stay tuned to the Action Labs MLB lineups page for the status of Tatis, Bellinger and every player on Tuesday's slate.
