Devers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

It's the first day off this season for the red-hot Devers, who is 11-for-30 with five home runs in his first eight contests this month. Bryce Eldridge will handle first base, while Turner Hill will grab a start at designated hitter as the Giants try to complete a series sweep.

Horwitz went 3-for-5 with three RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the White Sox.

Horwitz was unstoppable at the plate and contributed three of the Pirates' nine runs. He's been slumping in recent days, however, as he's hitting just .222 with a .522 OPS since the beginning of September.

Tawa started in right field and went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in a 5-3 extra-innings win over the Royals.

Tawa was originally slotted in at first base but moved to right field after Corbin Carroll (back) was scratched. He smacked a solo home run in the ninth inning and knocked in another run in the 10th before the Diamondbacks won it in the 11th. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo told Robert Falkoff of MLB.com that Carroll will likely be held out of Wednesday's game and then undergo an evaluation when the team returns home.

Chaparro went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Padres.

Chaparro homered off the bench in the eighth inning. He's made the most of his opportunities lately, hitting safely in nine of his last 11 games while going 12-for-35 (.343) with four extra-base hits in that span. For the season, he's batting .259 with an .881 OPS, 10 homers, 35 RBI, 31 runs scored, 12 doubles and no stolen bases over 71 contests. Chaparro is currently in a battle for playing time at first base and designated hitter that also includes Yohandy Morales and Abimelec Ortiz.

Morales went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Nationals.

This was Morales' second homer in six games to begin his big-league career. He's also logged two doubles while going 6-for-16 so far. The first baseman is filling a part-time role while battling Abimelec Ortiz and Andres Chaparro for playing time between first base and designated hitter.

The Giants recalled Harris from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Harris owns an .849 OPS across 319 plate appearances in the minors this season but has gone just 1-for-9 at the plate since joining the Giants organization Thursday. He'll now join the parent club to supply San Francisco with additional infield depth, replacing Zach Morgan.

Bauers (shins) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Cubs.

Bauers has been dealing with shin splints since late August and will be absent from the lineup for the second day in a row. The Brewers have faced lefties both games, but Bauers' absence seems to be more about injury maintenance. Andrew Vaughn will cover first base and Luis Lara will patrol right field for Milwaukee on Tuesday

Stowers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Stowers started the past three games after sitting out Friday due to hamstring tightness, and he'll return to the bench Tuesday while lefty Sean Manaea takes the mound for New York. Deyvison De Los Santos is handling first base and batting sixth for Miami.

Devers went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two walks, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Cardinals.

Devers hit an RBI double in the first inning and added another two-bagger in the fifth before coming around to score. The veteran infielder has chipped in at least one hit in 14 of his last 15 games, batting .421 with 22 RBI, 17 runs scored and nine home runs in 69 plate appearances over that stretch. On the campaign, he's up to a .260/.342/.522 slash line and has added 92 RBI, 86 runs scored and 35 long balls across 620 plate appearances.

Burleson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Giants.

Burleson went deep in the sixth inning to get the Cardinals on the board. The first baseman has gone 6-for-20 (.300) with three RBI over his last four games. For the season, he's batting .283 with an .811 OPS, a career-high 22 homers, 104 RBI, 81 runs scored, 34 doubles, one triple and four stolen bases over 144 contests.
