Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Burnes is expected to receive follow-up imaging on his elbow in the first or second week of July, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

After facing hitters May 29 for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery June 11, 2025, Burnes reported discomfort following the workout and was diagnosed with a teres major strain. He'll remain shut down from activity for at least another week or two, but he could be cleared to resume a throwing progression if his imaging shows improvement. Burnes will presumably need a lengthy ramp-up period once getting the green light to throw, so he would appear unlikely to make it back from the 60-day injured list until the second half of August or possibly September.

Hamilton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

The left-handed-hitting Hamilton will hit the bench for the second time in the Brewers' last three games, with both of his absences coming against left-handed starting pitchers. Joey Ortiz will replace Hamilton at third base Monday while southpaw Nick Lodolo toes the rubber for Cincinnati.

Friedl is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

After being called up from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday in the wake of Blake Dunn's (elbow) placement on the injured list, Friedl started in center field in the Reds' 9-4 loss to the Pirates, going 0-for-4 in his first appearance for the big club since June 2. Though he'll take a seat Monday while southpaw Robert Gasser toes the rubber for the Brewers, Friedl could occupy the large side of a platoon in center with Dane Myers until Dunn is back from the IL.

Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

The left-handed-hitting Lowe will head to the bench for the series opener in Milwaukee while southpaw Robert Gasser toes the rubber for the Brewers. Lowe will cede first base to Spencer Steer, who will bat third.

Lile is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

The Nationals will give the left-handed-hitting Lile a night off while southpaw Ranger Suarez toes the rubber for the Red Sox. Andres Chaparro will replace Lile in the lineup, occupying the designated-hitter spot while batting second.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that Pagan (hamstring) will be activated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday and is set to regain his role as the team's closer, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Pagan likely would have been reinserted into the ninth inning even before Tony Santillan (oblique) landed on the shelf last week, but the Santillan injury seemingly cinched things. Out since early May with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Pagan logged two scoreless rehab appearances with Triple-A Louisville. He'll get a day of rest Monday before being activated Tuesday, Francona said in an interview with MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM.

Adames (back) is not in the Giants' starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Monday, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

Adames was removed from Sunday's game in the eighth inning due to lower-back spasms. The issue is still bothering the 30-year-old shortstop and will keep him out of lineup for Monday's series opener, and he's also unlikely to be available as a pinch runner or hitter, per Webeck. Casey Schmitt will start at shortstop and bat third.

Schmitt (illness) will start at shortstop and bat third against the Diamondbacks on Monday, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

Schmitt was a late scratch for Sunday's series finale against the Phillies due to an illness. He's been given the green light to play Monday and will fill in at shortstop for Willy Adames, the latter of whom left Sunday's game due to back spasms.

Bauers is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Reds.

The left-handed-hitting Bauers has started often versus lefty hurlers this season, but he'll begin Monday's festivities on the bench as the Reds send southpaw Nick Lodolo to the bump. Andrew Vaughn will be at first base, and Sal Frelick will patrol right field.

Edman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

After starting in left field in each of the Dodgers' three games over the weekend, Edman will shift to the bench Monday with Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) occupying the position in his return from the 10-day injured list. Though the presence of Hernandez will likely limit Edman's opportunities in the outfield moving forward, the 31-year-old utility player could displace Alex Freeland as the Dodgers' primary option at second base. Neither Edman nor Freeland will cover the keystone Monday, however, as Miguel Rojas will draw the start.
