Yankees' Carlos Beltran, doubtful Tuesday
Beltran was removed from Monday's game due to a hyperextenended right elbow and is unlikely to return for Tuesday's against the Mets.
Chance of thunderstorms at some MLB stadiums Tuesday
There is a chance of thunderstorms at several stadiums across the Major Leagues Tuesday.
In Baltimore, where the Orioles host the Tigers, there is a chance of thunderstorms and a 52 percent chance of rain at game time.
In Philadelphia, where the Phillies host the Angels, thunderstorms are expected and there is a 30 percent chance of rain.
In Cincinnati, where the Reds host the Padres, there is a chance of thunderstorms and a 46 percent chance of rain.

Over cashes at 70 percent Monday
The Over had a big night in MLB parks across the country Monday, posting a 7-3 Over/Under record on the day.
Six of the 10 games on the scheduled reached double-digit runs scored on the day, with the Chicago Cubs' 17-5 thumping of the St. Louis Cardinals leading the way.
The Detroit Tigers-Baltimore Orioles, Atlanta Braves-San Francisco Giants and Texas Rangers-Houston Astros were the three games that stayed under their respective totals.
Fernandez expected to require Tommy John surgery
The news just keeps getting worse. According to Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the Marlins anticipate that Fernandez will need season-ending surgery on his right elbow. Presumably we’re talking about Tommy John surgery here. If there’s any silver lining, it’s that the injury involves Fernandez’s elbow, not his shoulder.
Rangers put off DL decision on LHP Perez
Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington is holding off on making a decision regarding the status of left-hander Martin Perez, who is suffering from elbow inflammation.
Perez departed his Saturday start after logging just 3 2/2 innings against the Boston Red Sox.
After stringing together three consecutive scoreless outings in mid-April, Perez has allowed 19 earned runs over his past three starts and 13 1/3 innings. An MRI exam did not reveal any structural damage in his elbow.
Mets defeat Yankees for fifth straight time
The New York Mets extended their longest winning streak over the New York Yankees in the 18-year history of the Subway Series, with a 9-7 decision Monday before 46,517 at Yankee Stadium.
The Mets (18-19) have claimed five straight over their inner-city rivals. They swept the series in 2013, 4-0.
The win was the second game in a row the Mets staged a late-inning comeback. They scored two runs in the seventh and three in the eighth, erasing a 7-4 Yankees lead.
The Mets scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth against the Phillies on Sunday in a game they eventually won in 11 innings, 5-4.
The Yankees have dropped three straight and eight of their last 12 games.
The crushing blow against the Yankees (19-18) came courtesy of center fielder Chris Young's two-run line-drive homer to left in the eighth, one of four for the Mets, snapping a 7-7 tie.
