The Nationals recalled Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Lipscomb has played some left field for Rochester this season in addition to the infield and will operate in a reserve role for the Nationals. He will likely be up for only a few days while Luis Garcia is on the paternity list.

Cabrera left Monday's game against the Mariners due to a left leg injury, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

Cabrera was injured on a play at the plate in the top of the ninth inning as he attempted an awkward slide. He was eventually taken off the field in an ambulance after being attended to by the team's training staff. The Yankees later reported that Cabrera was taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation, per Kuty.

Ramirez went 1-for-2 with two runs scored, three stolen bases and two walks in Monday's win over Milwaukee.

Ramirez singled, stole two bags and scored in the fourth inning. He later walked and scored again after swiping his third base of the night. It was his first multi-steal game of the year and first time stealing three in one contest since 2021. Ramirez has gone 15-for-40 (.375) over his last 11 games, raising his slash line to .289/.356/.472 with 12 steals through 163 plate appearances.

Fountain (elbow) has gone 6-for-12 with two doubles, five RBI and three runs scored over five games this season in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Fountain didn't make his professional debut in 2024 after being selected with the 151st overall pick of the First-Year Player Draft in July, and he then underwent Tommy John surgery in October. Though he's not yet playing in the field, the third base prospect is off to a strong start in the ACL as a designated hitter, registering at least one base knock in each of his first five appearances.

LeMahieu (calf/hip) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

LeMahieu is set to join the Yankees after missing the entirety of the 2025 season to this point while recovering from a left calf strain and a right hip issue. The 36-year-old had seen most of his starts at third base and first base over the previous two seasons, but he's expected to step into a regular role at second base initially while Jazz Chisholm (oblique) is on the shelf. Boone suggested that LeMahieu will likely be limited to a bench role Tuesday in Seattle, but LeMahieu is expected to start at the keystone in Wednesday's series finale with the Mariners. LeMahieu struggled to a career-low .204 average while adding two home runs, 26 RBI and 19 runs over 201 at-bats in 67 games with New York in 2024.

LeMahieu (calf) was not activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game in Seattle, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

LeMahieu has joined the Yankees in Seattle, but the team hasn't put him on the active roster just yet. That could come as soon as Tuesday. LeMahieu has been shelved all season with a calf strain and more recently a hip issue.

Wagaman is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Cubs.

Wagaman is carrying a sub-.600 OPS into play Monday, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he begins to see his playing time slip. The Marlins are starting Matt Mervis at first base in Monday's series opener.

Norby is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Cubs.

Norby started all three games of the Marlins' series against the White Sox this past weekend and reached base a total of five times. However, he'll get a breather for the series opener versus the Cubs, yielding to Graham Pauley at third base.

Jung is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Red Sox.

Right-hander Tanner Houck is on the bump for the Red Sox, but the left-handed-hitting Jung will grab a seat after starting each of the last three games against righties. Zach McKinstry will pick up a start at third base and bat sixth for the Tigers in the series opener.

LeMahieu (calf) is slated to join the Yankees for the start of their series Monday in Seattle, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

The team has not confirmed that LeMahieu will be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of the series opener, but it seems likely that he will be on the active roster. LeMahieu has been out all season with a calf strain and more recently a hip issue, but he's healthy now. The 36-year-old has gone 12-for-27 with one home run and a 4:3 K:BB over nine rehab games and could be the Yankees' primary second baseman while Jazz Chisholm (oblique) is sidelined.
