Conine is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Red Sox.

The left-handed-hitting Conine has received some opportunities recently to play against lefties, but he will take a seat in this one as Boston sends southpaw Ranger Suarez to the bump. Agustin Ramirez will slot in at designated hitter for the Marlins.

The Marlins reinstated Stowers (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll start at first base and bat third in the series opener versus the Red Sox.

Miami optioned infielder Deyvison De Los Santos to Triple-A Jacksonville to clear room on the active roster for Stowers, who missed approximately two weeks due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain. Stowers didn't require a rehab assignment prior to being activated, but the Marlins could look to build in and off day or two for him in first week back with the big club following the injury. The 28-year-old hit .242 with 16 home runs, one stolen base, 52 RBI and 44 runs in 94 games with Miami prior to landing on the shelf.

Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Monday that Meyer (neck/rib) has yet to be cleared to resume a throwing program, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Meyer landed on the 15-day injured list just after the All-Star break due to a neck strain, and he more recently suffered a rib injury that required a cortisone shot. The right-hander is rehabbing at the Marlins' spring training complex in Florida, and it's unclear when he will be cleared to throw. With just over a month remaining in the regular season, Meyer is running out of time to get stretched back out to return as a starting pitcher.

Norby will start at second base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Nationals.

Norby will head into the series opener in Washington, D.C. riding an eight-game hitting streak, during which he's batted .375 with one home run, one stolen base, five runs and two RBI. He'll be making his fourth start in six games and appears to have settled into a near-everyday role in the Colorado infield after third baseman Kyle Karros (concussion) played just two games before landing back on the 7-day injured list.

Carrigg is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

The Rockies will give the rookie a breather after he hit just .161 with a 3:10 BB:K while starting in each of the last eight games. With Carrigg on the bench, the Rockies will roll out a starting outfield of Zac Veen, Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak from left to right in the series opener in Washington, D.C.

Romero (appendectomy) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at High-A Wisconsin.

The 29-year-old southpaw will be making his organizational debut, after the Cardinals placed him on the injured list coming out of the All-Star break following his emergency appendectomy before trading him to the Brewers on Aug. 3. Because he's been out for more than a month, the Brewers will likely want Romero to make multiple appearances in the minors before clearing him to join the big-league bullpen. He could be a candidate for activation when the roster expands to 28 men Sept. 1.

Abrams (ankle) will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Monday's game against the Rockies.

Abrams missed the last four contests while recovering from a left ankle sprain, but he's feeling well enough to at least hit in Monday's series opener. When Abrams does return to playing a position, he's expected to serve as the Nationals' primary second baseman down the stretch.

Jimenez (knee) recently completed his fifth bullpen session since undergoing left knee surgery in April, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

Jimenez has undergone three knee surgeries since he last pitched in the big leagues in September 2024. The veteran reliever noted that his most recent bullpen session was the best he's felt since he resumed throwing, and he'll have a chance to rejoin the Atlanta bullpen before the end of the season if all goes well.

The Rockies placed Freeland on the 15-day injured list Monday due to cervical radiculopathy.

Freeland will head to the IL for the second time this season, after shoulder inflammation kept him on the shelf for a brief spell in April. The veteran southpaw dealt with a pinched nerve in his neck during his most recent start last Wednesday against the Dodgers, and after he wasn't able to bounce back as well as the Rockies had hoped, the decision was made to deactivate him. The Rockies will call up Mason Adams from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday to join the rotation as a replacement for Freeland, who will be eligible to return Sept. 5.

Early (elbow) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Saturday, Danielle Allentuck of The Washington Post reports.

Early encountered a setback in early August when he experienced minor left forearm tightness during a live batting practice session. The left-hander has now resumed mound work as he looks to join the Nationals rotation sometime in September. Early hasn't pitched in a game since late June, when he was still a member of the Red Sox before he was traded to the Nationals on July 26.
