Marsh went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Monday's 11-7 loss to Pirates.

It was Marsh's fourth career multi-homer game and his second of the season. The 28-year-old outfielder has gone deep five times in his past eight games as well. Making a strong case for his first career All-Star selection, Marsh is batting a torrid .322 with 14 long balls, 15 doubles, 44 RBI and eight stolen bases over 295 at-bats.

Myers (shoulder) was sent to the hospital for further evaluation after he was carted off the field in the fourth inning of Monday's game against the Brewers, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports. He went 1-for-2 with a double and an RBI prior to departing the contest.

Myers' left shoulder absorbed the brunt of a collision with a fence while making a spectacular catch in center field. Cincinnati manager Terry Francona noted after the game that Myers was in a significant amount of pain, so the team sent him to the hospital to get checked out. Francona added that initial X-rays on Myers returned negative, but the outfielder is expected to undergo further testing. The club should have an update on Myers' status Tuesday, but even if he avoided a major injury, he seems likely to require a stint on the injured list.

Myers was carted off the field during the bottom of the fourth inning of Monday's game against the Brewers after colliding with the outfield fence, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-2 with a double and an RBI prior to leaving the game.

Myers made a spectacular catch on a line drive out to the warning track, but he collided with the wall after securing the baseball and was unable to leave the field under his own power. The nature of Myers' injury is unclear at this time. TJ Friedl entered the game in center field following Myers' departure.

Caissie is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

The Marlins will send Caissie and two other left-handed batters (Griffin Conine and Graham Pauley) to the bench while lefty Sean Sullivan toes the rubber for Colorado in the series opener. Caissie had started in Miami's last five games, going 4-for-12 with a home run, a double, a walk, three RBI and three runs.

Conine is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

The Marlins will send Conine and two other left-handed batters (Owen Caissie and Graham Pauley) to the bench while lefty Sean Sullivan toes the rubber for Colorado in the series opener. Since returning from the 60-day injured list June 21, Conine has gone 3-for-20 with a double, two walks, an RBI and no runs.

Conforto will start in right field and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Padres.

Conforto will draw his second consecutive start and could be primed for a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield after Matt Shaw (hand) was moved to the injured list Monday. For the season, Conforto is holding down a .781 OPS over 129 plate appearances, though he's slashing just .147/.194./265 with a 36.1 percent strikeout rate in June.

Bader (foot) will start his hitting and throwing progressions later this week, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

Bader landed on the 10-day injured list in late May due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot. He was cleared to start running after getting stem-cell treatment for his foot, and he's on track to resume hitting and throwing in the coming days. Bader's next step is to embark on a rehab assignment, though it's unclear whether he'll be ready to return to the majors before the mid-July All-Star break.

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.

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.

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.
