Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt said that Bryant (back) visited with Dr. Robert Watkins on Monday and will undergo follow-up scans, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

The results of that imaging will determine the next steps for Bryant's rehab. Bryant was placed on the 10-day injured list in mid-April and subsequently diagnosed with lumbar degenerative disc disease. The 33-year-old has managed just a .400 OPS over 41 plate appearances in 11 games this season.

Burleson is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Cincinnati.

It marks four games in a row that Burleson has been out of the lineup, with three of them coming against right-handed pitchers. The Cardinals are again going with Nolan Gorman at designated hitter and in the fifth spot in the batting order for Monday's series opener.

Bell is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Bell will exit the starting nine for just the third time in 29 games on the season after a rough showing in the Nationals' three-game series with the Mets over the weekend, when he went 1-for-12 with five strikeouts. With Bell on the bench, James Wood will get a day out of the outfield and will serve as Washington's designated hitter.

Rosario signed a one-year contract with Atlanta on Monday.

Rosario will join Atlanta ahead of its three-game series in Colorado that begins Monday. The 33-year-old will begin his third stint in the Atlanta organization and could end up filling the strong side of a platoon in right field with Eli White until Ronald Acuna (knee) is ready to return from the injured list. Rosario struggled to a .531 OPS over 319 plate appearances between Washington and Atlanta in 2024 and logged four plate appearances with the Dodgers earlier this month before being cast off the 40-man roster and electing free agency. Before the Dodgers called him up April 18, the veteran outfielder had been hitting well at Triple-A Oklahoma City, slashing .339/.406/.542 with two home runs and three steals in 14 games.

Flores went 0-for-3 with an RBI and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Flores recorded his league-leading 28th RBI on a bases-loaded walk in the first frame. The veteran infielder has cooled off of late, batting .167 with just one RBI over his last four outings. Flores is slashing .248/.303/.455 with 13 runs scored, seven home runs and a 7:20 BB:K across 109 plate appearances so far this season.

Yelich went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Cardinals.

Yelich contributed early and often Sunday, scoring a run in the first inning, swiping a bag in the third and driving in two runs in the fourth. The 33-year-old has been on fire over his past 10 games, tallying five multi-hit efforts with three extra-base hits, 12 RBI, six runs scored and three steals. On the season, he's slashing .238/.345/.416 with five homers, 23 RBI, 14 runs scored and six steals across 119 plate appearances.

Steer batted second and went 2-for-4 with two runs in Sunday's 8-1 win over Colorado.

Steer batted second in the order, taking over for a resting Matt McLain. The former has responded well since being moved from DH-only duties to playing the field. In five games as the starting first baseman, Steer's gone 7-for-22 (.318) with a double, a home run, five RBI, a stolen base and six runs scored.

McCutchen went 4-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers

McCutchen drilled a solo shot in the first inning for his third home run of the season. He added three more base hits throughout the contest, but it didn't do much good as the Pirates lost 9-2. McCutchen had just one multi-hit performance over his previous 15 games, going 9-for-49 (.184) during that span. He's now slashing .276/.368/.447 through 87 plate appearances.

Winker is not in the Mets' starting lineup against the Nationals on Sunday.

Winker will begin Sunday's game in the dugout while the Nationals send southpaw Mitchell Parker to the mound. Starling Marte will serve as the Mets' designated hitter and bat fifth. Winker has gone 4-for-14 with one walk, two runs scored and a solo homer over his last five games.

Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning win over Arizona.

Ozuna took Merrill Kelly deep in the first inning. This was Ozuna's fifth homer of the season, and he also drew a walk for a sixth straight game. He has nine free passes and just three strikeouts in that six-game span while batting .375 (6-for-16). The designated hitter is batting .311 with a 1.031 OPS, 10 RBI, 14 runs scored and two doubles across 100 plate appearances so far in 2025, as he's been the most consistent producer of a largely underwhelming Atlanta lineup.
