King (oblique) tossed a scoreless inning Saturday in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Memphis, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

As long as he bounces back well, King should be activated from the 15-day injured list at some point during the Cardinals' Aug. 18-to-24 road trip. The lefty reliever has been sidelined since late July with a left oblique strain.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Rays.

Devers singled in the sixth inning before coming around to score and added another base hit in the seventh. With that, the 28-year-old delivered his third multi-hit performance over 15 appearances in August. He has tallied at least one hit in six consecutive games, slashing .269/.269/.423 with two runs scored, one home run and one double across 26 plate appearances during that span.

Lee went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Rays.

Lee lined a double to right field in the first inning, marking his sixth consecutive game with at least one hit. During that span, he's slashing .333/.364/.476 with two runs scored, two stolen bases, a triple and a double in 22 plate appearances. The 26-year-old outfielder has been productive in August, during which he has recorded a .339/.373/.518 slash line with 10 runs scored, six doubles, three RBI, three stolen bases, two triples and a 2:6 BB:K across 59 plate appearances in 15 games.

The Cardinals intend to hold Donovan (toe) out of the lineup for a fourth straight contest Monday in Miami, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Donovan has been dealing with a nagging toe injury, which the team believes has contributed to foot and groin issues. Manager Oliver Marmol said Sunday that Donovan isn't expected to require a stint on the 10-day injured list, and the second baseman could be back in action as soon as Tuesday.

Mlodzinski allowed one run (none earned) on one hit while striking out three across four innings Sunday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision.

Mlodzinski has served in a multi-inning relief role for most of the summer after beginning the year in the rotation. He was tabbed to start a bullpen game Sunday and pitched well in the role, generating 14 called and swinging strikes on 44 pitches while also getting six groundball outs. The Pirates' rotation is in flux after Andrew Heaney was shifted to the bullpen, but Mlodzinski is in the mix to stick in the rotation for the final six weeks of the regular season.

Moniak went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Moniak has started four of the Rockies' last five games, hitting either second or leadoff on each occasion. He's gone 4-for-15 in that small sample while homering, knocking in four and scoring one run. Monaik also delivered a key two-RBI single in the seventh inning Sunday to give Colorado the lead.

Doyle went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Doyle wrapped up a successful weekend series against the Diamondbacks, going 5-for-15 with one home run, three RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base across four games. While he's had a very disappointing season overall, Doyle has gotten on track since the All-Star break by hitting .375 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 13 runs scored and three stolen bases across 22 contests.

Bernabel went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

After a scorching start to his big-league career, Bernabel had slowed down considerably through mid-August. However, he enjoyed a strong series against the Diamondbacks at Coors Field, going 4-for-11 with a home run and four runs scored across four games. Though there will be some inconsistency, Bernabel has remained a near-everyday player and has hit primarily fifth in the lineup of late.

Marte went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Milwaukee.

Marte extended a hit streak to eight games, during which he's gone 15-for-34 (.441) with five doubles, two home runs, nine RBI and six runs scored. The transition from third base to outfield hasn't been an issue, as Marte is slashing .333/.333/.515 over 17 appearances in right field.

Stephenson is dealing with a sore left thumb and is available to catch in an emergency, MLB.com reports.

Stephenson initially banged the thumb during a series in Pittsburgh two weeks ago and then again against Philadelphia on Aug. 13. He then aggravated the issue Friday against Milwaukee and sat out the last two games. Jose Trevino is filling in behind the plate.
