The Marlins announced Monday that Nardi (rib) is scheduled to undergo surgery on his left elbow in the near future, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Miami placed Nardi on the injured list May 30 due to a left rib cage stress reaction, but that injury is now viewed as a lesser concern after he experienced elbow discomfort while working his way through a throwing program earlier this month. After receiving a consultation last week from renowned arm specialist Dr. Keith Meister last week, Nardi has decided to undergo surgery to address the elbow injury. The type of procedure won't be known until after the operation is completed, but assuming Nardi requires Tommy John or internal brace surgery -- or a hybrid of the two -- he'll likely miss the entire 2027 season. The upcoming elbow surgery is the latest in a long line of health-related setbacks for the reliever, who previously missed the entire 2025 campaign due to a lower-back injury.

Fermin is not in the lineup for the second game of Monday's doubleheader in Cincinnati.

After going 0-for-3 at the plate in the first game, Fermin will begin the nightcap on the bench. Blaze Jordan will settle in at third base for the Cardinals.

Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that Mack is out of the lineup Monday against the Phillies due to a right shoulder injury, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.

McCullough relayed that he wasn't overly concerned about Mack's shoulder issue, but the 23-year-old catcher will be relegated to the bench for a second straight game and is considered day-to-day. Brian Navarreto will draw the start behind the plate and bat ninth, forming a battery with starting pitcher Janson Junk.

Taveras is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Tampa Bay.

Taveras had started the last four and nine of the past 10 contests, but he will begin Monday's tilt on the bench. Jeremiah Jackson, Christian Franklin and Tyler O'Neill will patrol the outfield for the Orioles.

Cowser is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The Orioles will send the left-handed-hitting Cowser for the second time in the series while the Rays send another southpaw (Shane McClanahan) to the bump. Christian Franklin will draw the start in center field in place of Cowser and will bat ninth.

Beavers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The left-handed-hitting Beavers will be relegated to the bench for the third time in four games while the Orioles go up against a third lefty starter (Shane McClanahan) during that stretch. Jeremiah Jackson will fill in for Beavers in left field and will bat seventh.

Jones was scratched from Monday's lineup in Baltimore, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Jones is presumably dealing with some sort of injury, but the Red Sox have yet to provide details. Mickey Gasper will enter the lineup at designated hitter, and Nick Sogard will move up to the leadoff spot.

Heim is absent from the lineup for Monday's tilt in Kansas City.

Heim has essentially been an everyday player for the Athletics over the past two months, but he will begin Monday's contest on the bench. Brian Serven will handle catching duties for the Athletics in the series opener.

The Rockies designated Lorenzen for assignment Monday.

Lorenzen maintained good health throughout the season while eating innings out of the rotation, but that was about his only positive takeaway from his time with the Rockies. Colorado will cut bait with the 34-year-old righty after he went 3-11 with a 7.08 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and 82:49 K:BB in 115.2 frames over 26 appearances (25 starts). Given that any team putting in a claim for Lorenzen would have to assume the money left on his $8 million contract for 2026, he's likely to pass through waivers before the Rockies officially release him.

The Rockies recalled Shook from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Shook made four relief appearances for the Rockies earlier this season, allowing six runs with a 6:3 K:BB over 5.2 innings. The 28-year-old will provide the Colorado bullpen with a fresh arm after the relief corps covered five innings in Sunday's win over the Giants.
