    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Knee surgery scheduled for Thursday

    Winn will have a consultation Wednesday and then undergo arthroscopic surgery on the meniscus tear in his right knee Thursday in Dallas, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    More details regarding Winn's post-op rehab should be available following the operation, but the full expectation is that he will be 100 percent for the start of spring training. Winn played with the injury for several months before the decision was made in mid-September to shut him down. Thomas Saggese has been filling in at shortstop for the Cardinals since Winn was placed on the 10-day injured list.

  • Andrew Vaughn 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Andrew Vaughn: Regaining foothold at first base

    Vaughn will start at first base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Padres.

    Vaughn had been briefly overtaken by Jake Bauers as the Brewers' primary first baseman, but it will be Vaughn holding down first base Monday for the fifth time across the last seven contests. The 27-year-old Vaughn is slashing .415/.458/.561 in September, though he's yet to go deep this month.

  • Jake Bauers 1B | MIL

    Brewers' Jake Bauers: Yielding to Vaughn at first base

    Bauers is not in the lineup for Monday's game in San Diego.

    Bauers had a recent stretch with four straight starts at first base, but he'll yield the position to Andrew Vaughn on Monday for the fifth time across the last seven tilts. The 29-year-old Bauers did draw one start in left field during the latter stretch, but he looks to have fallen back behind Vaughn on the first-base depth chart.

  • Brewers' William Contreras: Returns to lineup Monday

    Contreras (hand) will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Monday's game versus the Padres.

    Contreras was held out of Sunday's lineup in St. Louis after his left hand was hit by an opposing hitter's bat during Saturday's game. He's well enough to give it a go after one day of rest as the Brewers open a series in San Diego.

  • Padres' Fernando Tatis: Dealing with illness

    Tatis is not in Monday's starting lineup against the Brewers due to an illness, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

    Padres manager Mike Shildt relayed Monday that Tatis woke up feeling ill. Tatis will be on the bench for the series opener against Milwaukee, but he could be back in the lineup Tuesday depending on his recovery. Ryan O'Hearn will fill in at right field and bat fifth Monday.

  • Padres' Xander Bogaerts: Not expected to be activated Monday

    Bogaerts (foot) now appears set for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Previous reports indicated Bogaerts would return from his left foot injury Monday. However, he went through another pregame workout Monday instead, as the Padres have apparently elected to give him one more day before he's reinstated. Jose Iglesias is starting at shortstop for the Padres in Monday's game versus the Brewers.

  • Jung Hoo Lee RF | SF

    Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Sitting out versus righty

    Lee is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Cardinals.

    It's right-hander Michael McGreevy on the bump for the Cardinals, but the left-handed-hitting Lee will nonetheless begin the festivities on the bench. Drew Gilbert will slide over to center field, while Jerar Encarnacion will cover right field.

  • Padres' Ramon Laureano: Exiting starting nine

    Laureano is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Brewers.

    It's the first day off since Aug. 11 for Laureano, who is slashing just .143/.204/.265 over his last 13 games. Bryce Johnson will draw a start in left field and bat seventh for the Padres on Monday.

  • Padres' Fernando Tatis: Getting rare day off

    Tatis is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    It's a rare day off for Tatis, who had started each of the previous 18 contests. The Padres will go with Ryan O'Hearn in right field in Monday's series opener.

  • Padres' Freddy Fermin: Sitting Monday

    Fermin is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Brewers on Monday.

    Fermin will be on the bench for a second consecutive game while Elias Diaz serves behind home plate and bats ninth. Fermin has gone 13-for-41 (.317) with three doubles, seven runs, one home run and six RBI since Sept. 1.
