Charlie Blackmon RF | COL
Rockies' Charlie Blackmon: Won't return when eligible Tuesday
Manager Bud Black said Blackmon (calf) won't be activated off the 10-day injured list Tuesday and will likely require a rehab assignment, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.
Blackmon previously said he expected to return when first eligible Tuesday, but it looks as though he'll require some additional recovery time. The 32-year-old has been out since May 24 with the right calf issue and shouldn't require a lengthy rehab stint in the minors. On an encouraging note, Blackmon was able to take batting practice Sunday and is gradually ramping up his baseball activities, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com.

Cardinals' Marcell Ozuna: Another multi-hit effort
Ozuna went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Cubs on Saturday.
Ozuna was a thorn in the side of Cubs pitching throughout the night, posting his third multi-hit effort of the last four games in the process. The veteran has also driven in at least one run in five straight games while swatting a pair of homers over that span as well.

Matt Carpenter DH | STL

Miguel Cabrera DH | DET
Tigers' Miguel Cabrera: Out again Sunday
Cabrera (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Braves.
Cabrera left Friday's contest due to knee soreness, with the team announcing that the veteran would undergo an MRI on Saturday. The findings of the MRI still aren't known, and manager Ron Gardenhire relayed Sunday that Cabrera's knee is still being examined by "a lot of different doctors," according to Jason Beck of MLB.com. With the Tigers sitting at 22-33 and the 36-year-old Cabrera having dealt with some injuries the past few seasons, it's no surprise to see all involved exercise caution until the test results are known. Even if his knee checks out fine, expect Cabrera to receive plenty of days off the rest of the way in an effort to keep him healthy and productive.

Cabrera (knee) will receive a second opinion on his MRI, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.
