Hamilton (hamstring) may require a trip to the injured list, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The team will likely hold off on making anything official until re-evaluating Hamilton on Tuesday morning. However, manager Pat Murphy stated after Monday's win that the club may need to make a roster move as a result of the 28-year-old's injury, especially with a doubleheader looming Tuesday.

Henry was optioned to Triple-A Rochester after allowed four runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two over 1.2 innings Monday against the Astros.

Henry will head to the minors after tossing 44 pitches in Monday's victory. He's now surrendered three or more runs in two of his last three appearances in the big leagues. The Nationals will presumably bring up a fresh arm ahead of Tuesday's clash.

The Giants outrighted Santos to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

The transaction will free up on a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Eric Cerantola, whom the Giants claimed off waivers from the Royals. Santos owns a 6.89 ERA and 1.84 WHIP with an 11:11 K:BB across 15.2 innings at the Triple-A level this season.

Bruihl left Monday's game against Milwaukee with a left ankle sprain, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. He allowed one run on one hit and one walk over 1.1 innings.

Bruihl appeared to tweak his ankle while fielding an infield dribbler, and he exited the game immediately after the play. He'll presumably be sent for additional testing to determine whether a trip to the injured list is warranted.

Hamilton was removed from Monday's game against the Cardinals due to left hamstring tightness, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Hamilton drove a ball to the gap in the top of the seventh inning to plate a pair of runs, but he appeared to be in discomfort after putting on the brakes after rounding second base and scurrying back to the bag. He's presumably headed for further evaluation and can be considered day-to-day until the club has more information to share on the severity of his injury. Joey Ortiz would be in line for more work at the hot corner if Hamilton is forced to miss additional game action.

Palacios went 2-for-3 with an RBI single in the Rays' 5-1 loss to the Yankees on Monday.

It was a dominant effort on the mound from Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler on Monday, but Palacios put Tampa Bay on the board with a single in the fifth inning that brought Chandler Simpson home. Palacios has driven in at least one run in three of his last four games, going 5-for-12 with one steal, one home run, four RBI and two runs scored in that span.

Jax (4-6) took the loss against the Yankees on Monday, allowing three runs on one hit and two walks while striking out 10 across five innings.

Monday's series opener featured a pitching duel between Jax and Cam Schlittler, with the former retiring the first 13 batters he faced. However, Jax walked two-straight batters in the fifth, both of whom came home to score on a back-breaking, three-run home run by Jose Caballero. Jax struck out the next two batters in the frame to tie a career high in punchouts and finished his night with 16 whiffs on just 81 pitches (51 strikes), but he did not receive enough run support from his Rays teammates to avoid the loss. He'll take a 3.60 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 65 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend at home against the Mariners.

Rice went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Yankees' 5-1 win over the Rays on Monday.

The Yankees were limited to just three hits, but those came on two home runs from Jose Caballero and another deep ball from Rice, with the latter's blast coming in the eighth inning to give the Bronx Bombers an insurance run. Rice is up to 25 home runs and a .925 OPS, which rank fifth and eighth, respectively, in the majors this season.

Caballero went 2-for-3 with two home runs and four RBI during the Yankees' 5-1 win over the Rays on Monday.

Monday's game was scoreless until Caballero smacked a three-run homer off Griffin Jax in the fifth inning, and the former followed that up with a solo shot in the eighth that gave the Yankees a 4-1 lead. It was Cabellero's first multi-homer game since Aug. 19, 2025 against Tampa Bay, and the 29-year-old infielder is up to 10 long balls on the season. He is slashing .249/.304/.407 with 20 steals and 33 RBI across 277 plate appearances this season.

Schlittler (9-5) earned the win against the Rays on Monday, allowing one run on four hits while striking out eight across eight innings. He did not issue a walk.

Schlittler entered Monday's game coming off one of the worst starts of his career in a loss to the Tigers this past Tuesday, when he allowed six runs and yielded a career-high four homers. He bounced back in style in Tampa Bay, pitching through the eighth inning for the second time this season while limiting the Rays to just four baserunners and one run that came on an RBI single from Richie Palacios in the fifth. Schlittler has allowed one earned run or less in 14 of 19 starts this season, and he ranks second in the majors in ERA (2.01) and fourth in both WHIP (0.93) and strikeouts (131) across 112 innings. He's slated to start this weekend on the road against the Nationals, which will be Schlittler's last turn in the rotation before the All-Star break.
