Harris went 3-for-6 with a double and two RBI in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Mets.

It's the center fielder's fourth straight multi-hit, multi-RBI performance, although Monday was the first time during that surge Harris didn't score a run of his own. He's hit safely in all six July games so far as he states his case to be added to his first career All-Star Game roster, batting .429 (12-for-28) to begin the month with two homers, five runs and 10 RBI.

McCray (hand) went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base during a rehab outing with the Giants' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate in its 17-6 win over the ACL Royals on Monday.

McCray underwent surgery June 4 to repair a fractured hamate bone in his left hand and began a rehab assignment with the ACL Giants on Monday. The 25-year-old outfielder singled in the third inning before stealing second and later scoring, then hit a two-run shot to right field in the fourth. Before the injury, McCray appeared in 49 games for Triple-A Sacramento, slashing .237/.360/.370 with 38 runs scored, 28 RBI, nine stolen bases and four long balls across 211 plate appearances.

High-A Fort Wayne reinstated Kemp (oblique) from its 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Kemp is finally ready to make his High-A debut after a left oblique injury suffered in the spring shelved him to begin the season. He was activated after allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four over 5.2 innings across three rehab starts in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Svanson will serve as the Cardinals' opening pitcher for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Brewers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Svanson will be making his first MLB start and his first at any level in the professional ranks since 2022, but he's unlikely to cover more than an inning or two before exiting the game. Once Svanson's day is done, left-hander Bruce Zimmermann appears likely to work in bulk relief for St. Louis.

Jordan is absent from the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

Jordan will likely be back in the lineup for the second game of the twin bill, but he'll begin the first contest on the bench. Jose Fermin is covering third base for the Cardinals in the matinee.

Winn is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

JJ Wetherholt will slide over to make a start at shortstop, and Bryan Torres will cover second base. Winn should be back in the lineup for the nightcap.

McGreevy won't start during Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers in order to get some extra rest, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The right-hander was lined up to start in Tuesday's twin bill, but St. Louis will instead have Matt Svanson as the opener and Bruce Zimmermann as the bulk reliever in Game 1 while Hunter Dobbins starts the nightcap. There's been no indication of an injury for McGreevy, who has given up just two runs across 12 innings over his past two starts. He'll instead take the mound Wednesday versus Milwaukee.

The Brewers designated Gasser as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, and he's scheduled to start the second game of the twin bill.

The left-hander was optioned to the minors last week, but the expectation all along was that he would rejoin the big club to pitch in Tuesday's doubleheader. Gasser has a 4.54 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 36:13 K:BB across 35.2 innings (seven starts) in the majors this season, though he's been more effective in his past three outings with a 2.60 ERA and 0.98 WHIP.

The Cardinals transferred Rajcic (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL Tuesday.

The transaction clears space on the 40-man roster for left-hander Bruce Zimmermann, who was called up ahead of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Brewers. Per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat, Rajcic will travel to Dallas for a second opinion with Dr. Keith Meister, and the Cardinals have "real concern" that the reliever has a serious elbow injury.

The Brewers optioned Perkins to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old hasn't started a game since June 29 and has just six at-bats over the past two weeks, so the Brewers will send him down in favor of top prospect Luis Lara. Perkins could get another look with Milwaukee if its outfield depth is tested later this summer, but his .157/.250/.258 slash line in 53 plate appearances is unlikely to result in him working as more than a bench player.
