Greene (groin/back) is scheduled to throw a live bullpen session Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Greene will throw again this weekend, and if all goes well, he should begin a rehab assignment sometime next week. The right-hander has been sidelined for the bulk of June due to a groin strain and back soreness. If Greene progresses as hoped, he could be ready to rejoin the Cincinnati rotation around mid-July.

Iglesias is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

With starts in five of the previous six games, Iglesias has gained some stability in the San Diego lineup of late, but he's still not quite locked in as an everyday player. After posting a surprising .829 OPS with the Mets in 2024 -- his highest mark in any season of his career aside from the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign -- Iglesias has taken a big step back at the plate with San Diego this season, slashing just .226/.294/.258 with no home runs over 179 plate appearances. He'll need to improve his production to boost his case for earning steady playing time over the balance of the season.

Triolo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Triolo was included in the lineup in three of the Pirates' previous four games, but the bulk of his starts are still expected to come against left-handed pitching when Pittsburgh has all of its core infielders available. Most of the 27-year-old's value to the Pirates derives from his ability to play all four infield spots, as he's been an easy out at the plate with a .167/.260/.280 slash line over 152 plate appearances on the season.

The Reds recalled La Sorsa from Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

He's absorbing the roster spot vacated by Ian Gibaut (shoulder), who has landed on the 15-day injured list. La Sorsa has made two appearances for the Reds this season, getting dinged for four runs.

The Reds placed Gibaut on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right shoulder impingement.

The same injury cost Gibaut nearly a month of action earlier this season. A timeline for Gibaut's return from the IL this time around isn't yet clear, but he'll be eligible for activation immediately after the All-Star break.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

The left-handed-hitting Frazier had batted out of the leadoff spot in both of the Pirates' previous two matchups with righties, but he'll be left out of the lineup entirely Monday while St. Louis sends right-hander Erick Fedde to the hill. Tommy Pham will take over Frazier's spot in left field, while Spencer Horwitz tops the batting order for Pittsburgh.

Kemp is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Since being called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on June 7, Kemp had started in all but one of the Phillies' ensuing 20 games, but he'll likely find himself on the bench against right-handed pitching more frequently after Philadelphia reinstated Bryce Harper (wrist) from the injured list Monday. The right-handed-hitting Kemp should continue to see regular playing time against left-handed pitching, likely occupying the short side of a platoon in left field with the left-handed-hitting Max Kepler.

The Padres activated Gillaspie (oblique) from the 15-day injured list and designated him for assignment Monday.

Gillaspie is over the left oblique strain that sent him to the IL over two months ago, but the Padres decided they don't have room for him on their active roster. The 28-year-old has a career 4.63 ERA and underwhelming 29:12 K:BB in 44.2 innings covering parts of four major-league seasons, so he stands a good chance of clearing waivers.

The Phillies designated Buddy Kennedy for assignment Monday.

The transaction clears a spot on the active roster for Bryce Harper's (wrist) return from the 10-day injured list. Kennedy went hitless in seven at-bats for the Phillies and hadn't started a game in nearly a week.

The Phillies activated Harper (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He will start at first base and bat third in the Phillies' series opener versus the Padres.

Harper will return to the Philadelphia lineup after missing the last three-plus weeks with right wrist inflammation. The 32-year-old did not go out on a rehab assignment, but the Phillies were convinced of Harper's readiness by how he looked against live pitching over the weekend.
