  • Brett Harris 1B | SF

    Giants' Brett Harris: Recalled from Sacramento

    The Giants recalled Harris from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

    Harris owns an .849 OPS across 319 plate appearances in the minors this season but has gone just 1-for-9 at the plate since joining the Giants organization Thursday. He'll now join the parent club to supply San Francisco with additional infield depth, replacing Zach Morgan.

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Out of lineup again Tuesday

    Bauers (shins) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Cubs.

    Bauers has been dealing with shin splints since late August and will be absent from the lineup for the second day in a row. The Brewers have faced lefties both games, but Bauers' absence seems to be more about injury maintenance. Andrew Vaughn will cover first base and Luis Lara will patrol right field for M.ee on Tuesday

  • Kyle Stowers 1B | MIA

    Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Sitting versus lefty

    Stowers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

    Stowers started the past three games after sitting out Friday due to hamstring tightness, and he'll return to the bench Tuesday while lefty Sean Manaea takes the mound for New York. Deyvison De Los Santos is handling first base and batting sixth for Miami.

  • Giants' Rafael Devers: Multi-hit effort in win Monday

    Devers went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two walks, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Cardinals.

    Devers hit an RBI double in the first inning and added another two-bagger in the fifth before coming around to score. The veteran infielder has chipped in at least one hit in 14 of his last 15 games, batting .421 with 22 RBI, 17 runs scored and nine home runs in 69 plate appearances over that stretch. On the campaign, he's up to a .260/.342/.522 slash line and has added 92 RBI, 86 runs scored and 35 long balls across 620 plate appearances.

  • Alec Burleson 1B | STL

    Cardinals' Alec Burleson: Clubs solo shot

    Burleson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Giants.

    Burleson went deep in the sixth inning to get the Cardinals on the board. The first baseman has gone 6-for-20 (.300) with three RBI over his last four games. For the season, he's batting .283 with an .811 OPS, a career-high 22 homers, 104 RBI, 81 runs scored, 34 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases over 144 contests.

  • Nationals' Andres Chaparro: Playing time on downturn

    Chaparro is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.

    Chaparro still appears to be locked into a regular spot in the lineup versus left-handed pitching, but his playing time against righties is trending down following the recent return of James Wood from the injured list. The Nationals will keep Chaparro on the bench Monday for the third time in their last four games matchups against a right-handed starter (Nick Pivetta).

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT

    Pirates' Ryan O'Hearn: Kicking off rehab Tuesday

    O'Hearn (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    O'Hearn has not played in a game since he went down with a left quad strain in late July, but he's been cleared to test things out with the Pirates' top minor-league affiliate. The 31-year-old is aiming to be reinstated to the active roster ahead of this weekend's series at Wrigley Field against the Cubs.

  • Michael Busch 1B | CHC

    Cubs' Michael Busch: Taking seat for series opener

    Busch is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    Busch will head to the bench as the Cubs roll out a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Brewers southpaw Robert Gasser. BJ Murray will get the nod at first base in place of Busch.

  • Jake Bauers 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Getting day off for injury management

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Bauers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs as part of his maintenance plan for shin splints, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

    Bauers recently revealed that he was diagnosed with shin splints Aug. 23, and the injury is something that is unlikely to improve while he intends to play through it the rest of the season. In an effort to help Bauers manage the injury, he'll be given periodic rest days, and the Brewers decided that keeping the left-handed hitter on the bench Monday was an optimal time to do so while southpaw Matthew Boyd takes the hill for the Cubs. Andrew Vaughn will step in at first base in place of Bauers, who went 6-for-25 with a home run, a stolen base and a whopping 16 walks while starting in nine of the Brewers' previous 10 games.

  • Jared Young 1B | NYM

    Mets' Jared Young: Exiting starting lineup

    Young is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Miami.

    It's a rare day out of the lineup against a righty for Young, who is sporting a .794 OPS versus right-handed pitching this season. He will yield to Brett Baty at first base.
