Paredes is being considered day-to-day due to hip soreness, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. He went 3-for-3 with one run scored Monday against Texas.

Paredes appears to have suffered the injury during Monday's matchup, and the team will closely monitor his status moving forward. His availability for Tuesday is game currently in question.

Vosler was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Vosler was sent down a couple days before the All-Star break but will rejoin the Giants with Brandon Crawford (oblique) landing on the injured list. The corner infielder has a .211/.297/.439 slash line with three homers, four doubles, eight RBI and 11 runs in 64 plate appearances this season.

Duffy (back) expects to be activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Duffy began his rehab stint with Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday and has been seeing the ball well at the dish, hitting .308 in four contests, per Andracki. He'll serve in a utility role for the Cubs upon his return.

Paredes was added to the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

Paredes was initially slated to get a day off Monday, but he'll join the starting nine after Jake Rogers (arm) was a late scratch. He'll play third base and bat eighth.

Moustakas (heel) was on the field taking grounders ahead of Monday's game against the Mets, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Moustakas has now missed over two months with a heel injury. Progress has been quite slow, as he began a rehab stint more than a month ago before being quickly shut down again. He's back to trending in the right direction, though the timeline for his next steps is still not clear.

Arenado will sit Monday against the Cubs, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The Cardinals haven't indicated that this is anything other than a routine day off for the star third baseman, who's gone 1-for-13 at the plate since the All-Star break. Matt Carpenter will handle third base in his absence.

Toro isn't in the lineup Monday against Cleveland.

Toro went 2-for-10 with a homer, two runs and a strikeout across the last three games. Robel Garcia will start at third base and bat eighth.

The Pirates demoted Castro from Triple-A Indianapolis to Double-A Altoona on Sunday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

After he was optioned off the Pirates' active roster Saturday, Castro stayed at Indianapolis for one day before moving on to Altoona, where he had spent all season prior to his July 6 call-up to the majors. The 22-year-old infielder has posted a .909 OPS over 216 plate appearances at Altoona on the campaign, so it may not be long before he settles at Indianapolis on a more permanent basis.

Senzel (knee) has made progress in the past week and could begin a rehab assignment next week, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports

Senzel has already missed over two months with a knee injury which wound up requiring surgery. He's previously been given a mid-July timeline and a late-July timeline, but both of those have proven overly optimistic. He appears to be on the right path, however, and beginning a rehab assignment next week should put him on track to return in early August.

Paredes isn't starting Monday's game against the Rangers.

Paredes had started in two of the last three games, and he went 2-for-7 during that time. Jonathan Schoop will take over at the keystone while Miguel Cabrera starts at first base.
