Vientos was scratched from Triple-A Syracuse's lineup Tuesday due to a headache, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Rumors of a call-up began to surface after Vientos was scratched from Tuesday's lineup, but he just experienced a headache during batting practice. The 21-year-old is one of New York's top prospects and has a .282/.359/.523 slash line with 23 home runs and 73 RBI at Triple-A this year, but the organization has yet to promote him for his first taste of the big leagues.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

It's the second straight night on the bench for Pederson since the Dodgers will send out another left-handed starter (Tyler Anderson. Thairo Estrada will shift to left field while Wilmer Flores starts at the keystone.

Soler (back) has been cleared for full baseball activities, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Soler has been hitting for several weeks, and he has now advanced to the point in his recovery where he can also run and throw. If all goes well in the days ahead, it might not be long before Soler is ready to head out on a rehab assignment.

McCutchen is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

McCutchen has spent most of the season as a regular, but the veteran has been a part-time player of late, as he will open on the bench Tuesday for the fifth time in 10 games. He will likely be in the lineup whenever a lefty starts for the opponent, but as things stand he is not a lock to play every day.

Pederson is not in Monday's lineup against the Dodgers, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

With lefty Andrew Heaney pitching for the Dodgers, Pederson will head to the bench in favor of Thairo Estrada in left field. The Dodgers are also starting lefties Tuesday (Tyler Anderson) and Wednesday (Clayton Kershaw), so Pederson may not get many at-bats in this series.

Turner is not in Monday's lineup against the Giants, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

Turner is in the midst of a 14-game hitting streak dating back to Aug. 19, hitting .442/.492/.712 with two home runs and two steals in 52 at-bats over that stretch. Miguel Vargas is in the lineup at designated hitter.

Blackmon went 1-for-5 with two RBI across both games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Blackmon was out of the lineup for the first game of the twin bill, but he delivered a two-run single as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. During the team's eight-game road trip that concluded Sunday, Blackmon went 6-for-28 with only one extra-base hit and no counting stats excluding Sunday's effort. For the season, he owns a .267/.316/.430 line across 507 plate appearances.

McCutchen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Arizona.

McCutchen looks to be receiving a veteran's day off after he went 2-for-6 with an RBI while playing all 10 innings of Saturday's 8-6 win. Keston Hiura will serve as the Brewers' designated hitter in place of McCutchen.

The Giants transferred Belt (knee) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

The transaction comes after Belt underwent season-ending surgery Saturday to address chronic inflammation in his right knee. With the surgery going according to plan, Belt is expected to spend the next two months rehabbing before potentially resuming baseball activities prior to end of 2022. With Belt's move to the 60-day IL, the Giants were able to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder/outfielder Jose Rojas, whom the team claimed off waivers from the Angels.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The switch-hitting Bryce Johnson will spell the lefty-hitting Pederson in the lineup with the Phillies bringing a southpaw (Ranger Suarez) to the hill for the series finale. Pederson is currently in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak in which he's slashed an incredible .542/.633/.958 with three home runs, one double, five walks, 14 RBI and seven runs.
