Reyes (neck) is starting in right field and batting fifth Monday against the Brewers.

Reyes has been on the bench since Friday due to neck stiffness, but he's ready to roll for Monday's series opener. He's slashing .240/.290/.535 with 19 homers and 33 RBI over 68 games in 2019.

Turner is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Turner had started 10 games in a row, tied for his longest stretch of the season. Max Muncy will slide over to third base in his absence, with Matt Beaty starting at first.

Winker will head to the bench against lefty Wade Miley and the Astros on Monday.

Winker sits for the second time in three games, though he should be in line for an extended run of starts the rest of the week as the Reds face six straight righties. Phillip Ervin starts in left field.

Winker went 4-for-5 with a double, home run and five RBI in an 11-3 victory against the Rangers on Sunday.

This performance snapped a streak where Winker went 0-for-6 during a four-game span. With the four hits, Winker's average is now as high as it's been all season. The five RBI was also a season high and matched the total he recorded in the category during all of May. Winker is hitting .244 with 11 home runs, 23 RBI and 31 runs in 205 at-bats this season.

Blackmon finished 3-for-6 with a home run and three RBI during Sunday's 14-13 loss to the Padres.

Blackmon came in on the back of three straight four-hit efforts and wasted little time as he hit a solo home run in the first inning. He also collected an RBI on two separate singles, giving him 10 for the four-game series against the divisional foe. Blackmon also collected four homers and nine runs scored over the weekend and will hope to keep it up in the next series on the road against the Diamondbacks.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and double in a 5-4 loss against the Pirates on Sunday.

The former Pirates prospect crushed the pitching of the first MLB organization he was apart of, going 5-for-12 (.417) with a double and homer in the weekend series. Power has been rare to come by for Ramirez against every other team, but against the Pirates on Sunday, he posted his first game with two extra-base hits of the season. Ramirez is batting .325 with 10 extra-base hits (including two homers), 16 RBI, 17 runs and two steals in 117 at-bats during 2019.

Pederson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Pederson will head to the bench after starting the last two games with southpaw Jose Quintana on the mound for Chicago. Kyle Garlick will start in left field in his absence while Enrique Hernandez enters the leadoff spot.

Reyes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies due to neck stiffness, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Reyes will be held out of the lineup for the third straight game as his neck has apparently been bothering him for a few days. The 23-year-old made pinch-hit appearances in each of the last two games, so it appears the Padres are just expressing some caution. Wil Myers, Manuel Margot and Hunter Renfroe will start in the outfield from left to right Sunday.

Ozuna is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Ozuna started the last 56 games in left field for the Cardinals and will head to the bench Sunday for only the third time this season. Jose Martinez will take over in left field in the series finale.

Blackmon went 4-for-6 with a double, three runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 14-8 win over the Padres.

The 32-year-old led a 19-hit attack by the Rockies, Blackmon's third straight game with four hits. He's now slashing an absurd .581/.581/1.258 with five homers, 11 runs and 12 RBI through six games on the Rockies' current homestand, but all good things must come to an end -- after one more tilt against the Padres on Sunday, Colorado hits the road for nine games beginning Tuesday.
