Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Phillips (elbow) will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Monday's series opener against the Rockies, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

After completing a month-long rehab assignment, Phillips is considered fully recovered from the Tommy John surgery that he underwent last June. Across 12 appearances at Triple-A Oklahoma City, Phillips turned in a 1.80 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB in 10 innings. The 31-year-old right-hander could be eased back into the action with the Dodgers in a low-leverage role, but he could move up the bullpen pecking order quickly if his velocity and command return to their pre-surgery levels.

Reynolds went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Nationals.

Reynolds extended Pittsburgh's lead to 4-0 in the third inning with a 399-foot shot off Cade Cavalli, his 13th homer this season and his seventh in his last 25 games -- he's gone 33-for-101 (.327) in that span. It's been a strong season at the plate overall for Reynolds, who's now slashing .282/.393/.474 with 56 RBI, 62 runs scored and six stolen bases across 397 plate appearances.

Muncy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Muncy is working against left-handed pitching more often this season and is excelling to the tune of a .939 OPS in 72 plate appearances, but he finds himself on the bench Sunday while southpaw JP Sears takes the mound for San Diego. Miguel Rojas is starting at the hot corner for the Dodgers in the series finale.

Garcia went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and a stolen base in Sunday's 11-5 loss to the Pirates.

Garcia got Washington on the board in the third inning with his two-run blast off Bubba Chandler, his 19th homer this season (a new career high) and his 10th in his last 15 games. In his last 20 contests, Garcia has gone 24-for-68 (.353) with a staggering 1.271 OPS, boosting his slash line to .282/.313/.561 with 64 RBI, 42 runs scored and three steals across 294 plate appearances this season.

Rushing is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against San Diego.

Rushing started the previous three contests and will rest Sunday after going 5-for-9 with a double, a homer, four RBI and four runs during that span. Eliezer Alfonzo is making his MLB debut behind the plate in the series finale for the Dodgers.

Chandler did not factor into the decision in an 11-5 win over the Nationals on Sunday, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks without recording a strikeout over four innings.

Chandler needed 86 pitches, just 47 of which were strikes, to get through four innings. The 23-year-old right-hander has now given up nine runs over 10.1 innings in his last two starts after posting a 2.82 ERA across 22.1 frames in his prior four outings. Overall, Chandler is 3-8 with a 4.82 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 79:52 K:BB across 89.2 innings this season. He'll look to get back on track his next time out, currently scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Brewers.

Tucker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

After missing a few games in late June due to back spasms, Tucker started the last nine contests and posted a .940 OPS with a double, a homer, five RBI and seven runs during that span. Alex Call is picking up a start in right field Sunday for the Dodgers.

Edman was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres due to a right foot/ankle injury, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Edman was penciled in to start at third base but will instead head to the bench. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic that Edman was removed from the lineup as a precaution after being hit in the foot by a Mason Miller pitch in the eighth inning of Saturday's 3-0 win. Alex Freeland will replace Edman in the lineup and start at second base, pushing Miguel Rojas over to the hot corner.

Caissie is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Miami will keep Caissie and fellow left-handed hitters Kyle Stowers, Joe Mack and Griffin Conine on the bench for the series finale in Sacramento while southpaw Gage Jump takes the hill for the Athletics. Caissie started in right field or at designated hitter in the Marlins' last five games and went 3-for-15 with two home runs, six RBI and an additional run.

Conine is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Miami will keep Conine and fellow left-handed hitters Kyle Stowers, Joe Mack and Owen Caissie on the bench for the series finale in Sacramento while southpaw Gage Jump takes the hill for the Athletics. Conine went 0-for-10 with a 4:6 BB:K while starting in Miami's past three games, bringing his season-long batting line down to .233/.352/.433 over 71 plate appearances.
