Rengifo will miss the remainder of the season after he underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a complete ACL tear and MCL sprain in his right knee, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Rengifo plans to meet with a team physician before deciding on a date for his knee surgery, but the 29-year-old is likely to remain out through at least the early part of the 2027 season as a result of the operation. After struggling to a .534 OPS over 57 games with Milwaukee to begin the season before he was released in late June, Rengifo found more success upon getting a change of scenery in San Diego. Before going down with the knee injury, Rengifo had settled in as a near-everyday player while serving in a utility role for the Padres, slashing .291/.375/.409 with four home runs, three stolen bases, 19 runs and 17 RBI across 145 plate appearances. Rengifo is set to become a free agent this winter, but given his success in a limited sample, the Padres could look to re-sign him on another short-term deal.

Suarez (elbow) took pitcher's fielding practice at Truist Park on Monday and will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Jesus Cano of The Athletic reports.

The veteran reliever is ready to take the mound for the first time since he went down with right elbow inflammation more than two months ago. Suarez said that he expects to throw at least one more bullpen session after Tuesday before his next step is determined. He remains in line to return from the injured list sometime in September as long as he can avoid setbacks.

The Brewers placed Wilson on the 15-day injured list Monday with a lower-back strain.

Wilson tossed 2.2 scoreless innings out of the Milwaukee bullpen in Sunday's loss to the Rangers, but he evidently came out of the appearance injured. He will be eligible to return Sept. 15, but the Brewers haven't revealed a timetable for the righty.

The Brewers activated Uribe (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Shelved for the past three weeks with a right shoulder strain, Uribe made a pair of scoreless rehab appearances to clear the way for his return from the IL. He will resume his role as a primary setup man ahead of closer Trevor Megill.

Reds manager Terry Francona said that Williamson (shoulder) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Padres in Cincinnati, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Williamson has been deemed ready to rejoin the big club after wrapping up a six-appearance rehab assignment, during which he compiled a 5.94 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 14:12 K:BB across 16.2 innings. In his final outing with Triple-A Louisville last Thursday, Williamson covered 4.1 innings and 84 pitches, setting him up to handle a traditional starter's workload when he makes his first appearance for the Reds since April 29. The 28-year-old lefty isn't expected to be in store for any starts beyond Wednesday, however, as Francona noted that he plans to have Williamson piggyback starter Chase Burns in the latter pitcher's future turns through the rotation for the remainder of the season. The arrangement may put a cap on Williamson's overall workload, but it should aid his chances of picking up wins, especially if Burns is limited to fewer than five innings in his starts.

Manager Terry Francona said that Burns won't make his next start until Sept. 7 against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, and the Reds intend to monitor his innings and pitch counts for the remainder of the season, Joe Danneman of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Though he had no formal restrictions in place over his first 26 starts of the season, Burns will have his workload managed the rest of the way since he's already amassed 145.1 innings in 2026, surpassing his 2025 total by more than 30 innings. More specifically, Francona mentioned that he plans to have Brandon Williamson (shoulder) -- who is set to return from the 60-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Padres -- piggyback the 23-year-old Burns whenever the latter's turn in the rotation comes up in September. With a 65-72 record, the Reds are well removed from the wild-card picture, so ensuring the long-term health of their young ace will take on added import over the final month of a non-contending season.

The Mets activated Vientos (hand) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in the series opener versus the Rays.

Vientos had been on the shelf since early July with a fractured right hand, but he's been cleared to return after going 9-for-23 with five home runs in seven rehab contests, including a three-homer game at Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday. The 26-year-old will occupy a prominent spot in the lineup Monday against Rays lefty Ian Seymour and should be a mainstay in the starting nine when the Mets face southpaws during the final month of the season.

The Marlins placed Edwards on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left thumb sprain.

Edwards had started or made a cameo off the bench in each of the Marlins' first 137 games, but he'll end up missing action for the first time all season after injuring his thumb when he attempted to apply a tag in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Nationals. The Marlins recalled infielder Jared Serna from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move and could end up leaning on a committee of Serna, Javier Sanoja and Leo Jimenez at second base while Edwards is on the shelf.

Molina will start Monday's game in Atlanta, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Molina began the season in the Atlanta organization before the Giants acquired him Aug. 2. After being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento last week, Molina made his team debut in long relief Tuesday, tossing 4.1 scoreless innings in a 3-1 win over the Reds. He tossed 52 pitches in that outing, so Molina could have his workload capped at around 60-to-75 pitches as he makes his third career big-league start and first as a member of the Giants.

Friedl will start in center field and bat eighth in Monday's contest versus the Padres.

Friedl has played sparingly in the second half, but his reps are trending up as he starts Monday for the third time over the Reds' last four games against right-handed pitching. With Friedl getting another look in center field, Dane Myers will begin the festivities on the bench.
