Jakob Marsee CF | MIA
Marlins' Jakob Marsee: Exits game with knee contusion
Marsee was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics due to a right knee contusion, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-1 with two runs scored before leaving the game.
Marsee was hit in the right kneecap by a pitch from Gage Jump in the third inning. The outfielder initially stayed in the game to run the bases but was replaced by Griffin Conine in the bottom of the frame. The good news for Marsee is that X-rays came back negative, and with the Marlins having an off-day Monday, he may not miss time and could be in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Mariners.

Brenton Doyle CF | CHW
Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Pulled off rehab assignment
The Rockies returned Doyle (oblique) from his rehab assignment Sunday, but he remains on the 10-day injured list.
Placed on the IL on May 21 due to a left oblique contusion, Doyle made enough progress in his recovery to resume playing in games for Triple-A Albuquerque on June 23. He went 7-for-22 with one home run and one stolen base over six contests, but he tweaked his left groin last weekend and then aggravated the injury again Saturday. Now back in Denver, Doyle is scheduled to undergo further evaluation from the Rockies' medical staff before the team determines a treatment plan. Doyle will likely remain on the shelf through at least the All-Star break.

Tommy Edman 2B | LAD
Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Scratched Sunday
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.
