Cooper was officially placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a right wrist sprain, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports. According to Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald, Cooper said he's dealing with significant inflammation in the wrist and will likely require 2-to-4 weeks of rest before undergoing a follow-up MRI.

Until the inflammation subsides, the Marlins won't be able to determine the severity of Cooper's sprain, so his official recovery timeline remains muddled. Considering that Cooper previously missed three months this season after getting hit by a pitch on the same wrist, it wouldn't be surprising if this setback prevented him from playing again this season. The Marlins called up Magneuris Sierra from Triple-A New Orleans to take Cooper's spot on the active roster.

Abreu went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Angels.

Abreu took Jaime Barria deep in the first inning for his 14th home run of the season and followed that up with an RBI single in the sixth inning to record his first multi-RBI game since July 1. Abreu has been in a funk at the plate, as he has just five home runs and has seen his average drop from .301 to .253 since June 1. However, he has shown improved power in the second-half in each of the past two seasons, and while that's not something to rely on, it does provide hope that he will improve his results as the season continues to wear on.

Bour went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in the loss to the Braves.

Bour launched his 16th homer of the season in the second inning, but the Marlins would end up getting blown out, 12-1. The 30-year-old first baseman is batting an uninspiring .222 with three homers and nine RBI through 17 games in July.

Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Dodgers.

Hoskins tied the game in the fifth inning after launching his 17th home run of the season, although the Phillies would fall in the series opener. He's gone 4-for-16 with three homers and eight RBI in four games following the All-Star break as he attempts to raise his uninspiring .477 slugging percentage (90 games).

Cooper (wrist) will be placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a right wrist sprain, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper has been on the bench for each of Miami's past three games, and after undergoing an MRI he'll require a stint on the disabled list. It's unclear if he'll return after the minimum, though more news on his status should emerge in the near future. Magneuris Sierra will be recalled from Triple-A New Orleans in a corresponding move.

Blandino (knee) had surgery to repair his torn ACL on Monday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Blandino is expected to need between 6-to-8 months to fully recover, meaning he'll likely be ready right around the start of spring training. He posted a .234/.324/.289 batting line with one homer and eight RBI over 69 games as a utility man for the Reds in 2018.

Cooper is dealing with a wrist injury Monday, Craig Davis of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Cooper is awaiting the results of an MRI, which should give more clarity about the severity of the issue. He hasn't been in the lineup for any of the Marlins' last three games, though he's far from an everyday starter, so it's difficult to read too much into that fact.

Cron is not in the starting lineup versus the Yankees on Monday, Steve Carney of 620 WDAE reports.

Cron is stationed on the bench after going 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored during Sunday's victory over Miami. Ji-Man Choi will serve as Tampa Bay's designated hitter during the series opener.

Cron went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs in a win over the Marlins on Sunday.

After seeing his season average take a 37-point dive down to .233 during a miserable June, Cron has bounced back in authoritative fashion during the current month. The 28-year-old is now hitting .373 over 58 July plate appearances, a figure partly fueled by five multi-hit efforts and 10 extra-base hits (seven doubles, three home runs). The trio of round trippers has established a new high-water mark in that category for Cron, who's now just one away from the first 20-homer season of his career.

Mountcastle went 1-for-6 with a solo home run during Double-A Bowie's doubleheader with Erie on Sunday.

Mountcastle has gone deep four times over his last 10 games, raising his season OPS to .884. The 21-year-old third baseman now looks like the Orioles' best organizational asset on the left side of the infield after All-Star shortstop Manny Machado was traded to the Dodgers last week.
