Injuries & Scratches

Marlins first baseman Kyle Stowers exited Sunday's 12-3 win over the Angels early with a left hamstring strain and will undergo further evaluation. The Rays placed Griffin Jax on the 15-day IL due to right elbow discomfort. Braves ace Chris Sale was ejected by umpire Dan Merzel before a pitch was thrown in Sunday's game against the Yankees, still fuming over a balk call from the previous day that scored a run. Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola suffered a bruised right knee after taking a line drive in the sixth inning and exited his start. The Blue Jays scratched George Springer from the lineup with left shoulder tightness, though manager John Schneider said it is not expected to linger. Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt landed on the IL with a strained right hamstring, and the club is also dealing with an injury to infielder Joey Ortiz, testing the NL Central leaders’ infield depth.
