Gorman is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Miami, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

The Cardinals are facing a lefty for the second day in a row and Gorman has been on the bench for both of those contests. He did get an at-bat late in Monday's game, so perhaps he'll come off the bench again in this one.

Donovan is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Miami, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

The Cardinals are facing a left-hander for the second day in a row, but Donovan has now sat out four of the last five contests while dealing with an arm issue. However, there's been no indication to this point that it could be an injured list situation.

Wisely was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game against the Mariners, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Wisely will take the roster spot of Thairo Estrada, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a fractured hand. Wisely provides the Giants with plenty of versatility, as he's drawn starts at second base, third, shortstop and in left and center field so far this season.

Estrada was moved to the 10-day injured list Monday due to a fractured left hand, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Estrada was struck by a pitch during Sunday's series finale, and after further evaluation, it was determined he suffered a fracture. The timetable for his return is still up in the air, as his return date will likely depend on the location and severity of the fracture.

Donovan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Donovan previously sat out both ends of a doubleheader Saturday against the Yankees while battling an arm injury, but he returned to the lineup for Sunday's 5-1 win over New York and went 3-for-4 with a home run. The Cardinals haven't indicated that he suffered a setback during that contest, so the lefty-hitting Donovan's absence from the lineup Monday likely has more to do with the fact that the Marlins are bringing southpaw Braxton Garrett to the hill.

Gorman is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Miami.

Gorman will begin this one on the bench as the Cardinals face left-hander Braxton Garrett. St. Louis will go with Tommy Edman at second base and Luken Baker at designated hitter.

Montes was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque following Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Tigers.

Montes will head back to Albuquerque after being called up June 11. Over 18 games with the Rockies, the 26-year-old produced a disappointing .184/.244/.316 slash line with only three extra-base hits while striking out 12 times over 38 at-bats. He'll look to get back into a groove in Triple-A before potentially making a return to Colorado's roster later this season.

Jones signed a major-league contract with the Brewers and was added to the 26-man active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Cubs.

Before he opted out of his minor-league deal with the Dodgers over the weekend, the 25-year-old infielder has spent the entirety of the 2023 season at Triple-A Oklahoma City and put together a .292/.427/.542 slash line over 263 plate appearances. Jones will now get the opportunity to return to the big leagues with the Brewers, who are in need of added infield depth in the short term after Brian Anderson was placed on the paternity list Monday. Jones could end up serving as a short-side platoon player while he's up with the big club.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

He took Sandy Alcantara deep in the fifth inning to put Atlanta in the lead for good. Albies has reached 20 homers for the fourth time in his career, needing only 83 games to get there, and the 26-year-old seems poised to set new career highs in the power categories -- his previous best was 30 home runs over 156 games in 2021.

Donovan went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Yankees.

Donovan returned to the leadoff spot after not appearing in Saturday's doubleheader due to a minor arm issue and picked up right where he left off with his second home run in his last three games. The 26-year-old has cemented himself as the Cardinals' leadoff hitter against righties and has rightfully earned it, as he's slashing .325/.428/.513 with six homers, 15 RBI, 19 runs and a 15:15 BB:K in his last 32 games after struggling to get going in April and the large majority of May.
