Turner exited Monday's game against the Mariners due to a left heel contusion, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Turner hurt himself while attempting to beat out an infield single during the ninth inning and had to exit in favor of a pinch runner. Turner is officially listed as day-to-day, so his injury likely isn't anything too severe, but there's a good chance he gets a day off Tuesday in order to recover.

Meneses went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double and three RBI in Monday's win over Milwaukee.

Meneses put the Nationals on the board with a solo shot in the second inning and later knocked a go-ahead, two-run single in the seventh. It was his second homer in the last six games and he's gone 10-for-25 (.400) during that stretch. His season slash line is up to .283/.324/.409 with 33 extra-base hits and 58 RBI through 426 plate appearances.

The Diamondbacks recalled Lewis from Triple-A Reno on Monday.

With Dominic Canzone headed to Seattle as part of the Paul Sewald deal, Arizona will bring up Lewis to fill the gaps in its active roster. Lewis holds a 1.040 OPS through 181 plate appearances in Triple-A this season, but he's had minimal success in the majors since 2022.

Canha was traded from the Mets to the Brewers on Monday in exchange for Justin Jarvis, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Canha will serve as a nice platoon mate with Rowdy Tellez (finger) once Tellez gets healthy, and he could also spell Sal Frelick or Christian Yelich against particularly tough left-handed starters. Canha has gotten the bulk of his starts this season in left field and has also started double-digit games at designated hitter, first base and right field. The 34-year-old veteran has a .245/.343/.381 slash line with six home runs and seven steals in 303 plate appearances.

Harper is in Monday's lineup at designated hitter as he deals with some general body soreness, but he is expected to play first base Tuesday in Miami, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Harper has six games at first base under his belt, all in the last 10 days, but he will DH on Monday for the second day in a row. He is hitting .310 with two home runs and two steals across 23 games in July.

Blackmon (hand) will join Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Blackmon, who has been on the injured list since June 11 with a fractured right hand, is expected to play for Albuquerque on Tuesday and Wednesday before the Rockies potentially activate him ahead of this weekend's three-game series in St. Louis. Though his power has dipped considerably over the past few seasons and he's no longer an active baserunner, Blackmon should remain a plus source of batting average while also occupying a top-three spot in the Colorado batting order once he returns from the IL.

Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Brewers.

He took Hoby Milner deep in the sixth inning to tie things up at 6-6, setting the stage for a game-winning Matt Olson homer in the eighth. Ozuna will be sorry to see Milwaukee leave town -- he had two doubles and four long balls during the three-game series to bust out of a July slump. On the season, the 32-year-old is slashing .236/.309/.479 with 22 home runs and 49 RBI in 87 contests.

Encarnacion-Strand started at first base and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and was hit by a pitch in Sunday's 9-0 win over the Dodgers.

Luckily, the HBP was from position player Miguel Rojas, whose 56 mph eephus didn't do much damage. It was just Encarnacion-Strand's third time reaching base over the last 16 plate appearances. After a promising first week in the majors, he's struck out eight times in the last 14 at-bats. Despite his lack of production thus far, Encarnacion-Strand should be fairly secure in a near-everyday role after a regular spot opened up for him with Jonathan India's (foot) move to the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Turner went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Giants.

Turner's eighth-inning blast briefly put the Red Sox ahead 3-2. The infielder has been held hitless just twice over 22 games in July, batting .341 (29-for-85) for the month. He's up to a .287/.356/.483 slash line with 17 homers, 70 RBI, 66 runs scored, 25 doubles and four stolen bases through 101 contests. He started at first base Sunday, though he's spent more time at second base and designated hitter over the last week. Regardless of position, Turner is holding down a near-everyday role.

Martinez (hamstring) will undergo an MRI after exiting Sunday's game against the Reds, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Martinez was in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup, but he was replaced by a pinch hitter before making a plate appearance. Manager Dave Roberts said that the 35-year-old couldn't run or swing a bat Sunday, and his MRI should help determine the severity of his injury.
