Stott (foot) is starting at third base and batting sixth against the Mariners on Monday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Stott was removed during the eighth inning of Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a right foot contusion. X-rays following the contest came back negative, and the 28-year-old third baseman has been given the green light to play in Monday's series opener. Stott is in the midst of a mini-slump at the plate, having gone 0-for-12 with a walk and a run scored over his last four outings.

Bohm (hamstring) is starting at first base and batting fifth against Seattle on Monday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Bohm was held out of Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to hamstring/groin tightness, but he's been given the green light to play in Monday's series opener. Bohm has been on a heater at the plate recently with six multi-hit games over his last nine outings, going 18-for-38 (.474) with 12 RBI, seven extra-base hits and 10 runs scored in that span.

Arraez (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting in the cleanup spot against the Mariners on Monday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Arraez was not in the lineup for the Phillies' series finale against the Cardinals on Sunday due to hamstring cramps, though he did enter the game in the eighth inning. Through 20 games in August, he has a .291 batting average (23-for-79) with two home runs, five doubles, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored.

Lawlar is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Cubs.

Lawlar has started all five games versus left-handers since he returned from the injured list one week ago, but he has been out of the lineup both times the Diamondbacks have gone up against a righty. It's unlikely Lawlar will remain stuck in a short-side platoon indefinitely, but for the time being his playing time could remain unreliable.

Marte (knee) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of the Diamondbacks' series opener against the Phillies on Aug. 31, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Marte is increasing his baseball activities this week while recovering from left knee inflammation, which forced him to the IL last Thursday. The injury isn't considered a long-term issue, and the expectation is that the veteran second baseman will be available for the final month of the regular season. Ildemaro Vargas has been serving as the Diamondbacks' primary option at the keystone in Marte's absence over the past week.

Rodriguez is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Giants on Monday.

Rodriguez has gone 4-for-10 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored over his last three outings, but he'll be on the bench for Monday's series opener. Ivan Johnson, Dane Myers and JJ Bleday will man the Reds' outfield from left to right.

Chaparro is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Chaparro has begun to gain traction as an everyday player, but the Nationals won't have room in the lineup for him Monday while CJ Abrams is limited to serving as the team's designated hitter after a sprained ankle kept him on the bench for the previous four contests. So long as Abrams is able to resume duties in the middle infield in short order, Chaparro's playing-time outlook should remain favorable over the final month of the season.

Nardi (elbow) is slated to undergo season-ending surgery Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Arm specialist Dr. Keith Meister will perform Nardi's surgery, but the Marlins aren't expected to provide specifics on the procedure until the operation is completed. If Nardi requires a UCL repair or reconstruction rather than something less significant such as a flexor tendon surgery, he'll likely wind up missing the entire 2027 season. Nardi posted a 5.16 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 27:11 K:BB while collecting three wins and eight holds over 22.2 innings with Miami this season before hitting the shelf May 30.

Lewis (wrist) went 3-for-25 with a triple and a 0:9 BB:K in his first seven games with Double-A Pensacola since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Aug. 14.

Lewis had been on the shelf for just over seven weeks due to a fractured wrist. The 23-year-old outfielder has struggled to find his swing since his activation but has still been an above-league-average hitter (104 wRC+) at Double-A this season, slashing .233/.303/.489 with 17 home runs and 14 steals over 73 games.

Miami optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

After a two-day stint in the majors, De Los Santos will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to first baseman/outfielder Kyle Stowers (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. De Los Santos should get the chance to play on an everyday basis upon returning to Jacksonville.
