Garcia (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Garcia made three rehab appearances at High-A Greensboro in early September, and he's since been given the green light to return to action at Triple-A Indianapolis. He's gone 4-for-14 with a home run and three runs in four games since his return from the IL.

Taylor is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Rockies on Monday.

Taylor will be on the bench for Monday's contest while Dustin Harris starts in left field and bats fifth. Taylor has gone 5-for-14 with two steals and three runs scored over his last four games and has a .775 OPS with nine steals, 11 RBI and five extra-base hits across 137 plate appearances this season.

Waldschmidt is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

It's the second straight day that Waldschmidt has been absent from the Diamondbacks' lineup with a righty on the mound for the opposiiton. Lars Nootbaar is in left field and Jordan Lawlar is in center field for Arizona.

The Diamondbacks claimed Sanchez off waivers from the Blue Jays on Monday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

The Diamondbacks will take on the $6.8 million remaining of Sanchez's 2026 salary, and they'll retain his rights for 2027 as well, though he is a likely non-tender candidate. Sanchez has slashed .260/.318/.416 with eight home runs over 99 contests this season and will provide manager Torey Lovullo with another option in left field and at designated hitter.

Lee is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest in St. Louis.

The left-handed-swinging Lee typically starts against most southpaws, but he will begin Monday's game on the bench as the Cardinals send lefty Quinn Mathews to the hill. Scott Bandura will play right field for the Giants.

Torres is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Torres had made nine straight starts against right-handed pitching, but he'll exit the lineup as the Giants send righty Landen Roupp to the bump. Thomas Saggese will handle second base and bat leadoff for St. Louis.

Harris went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

The streaky center fielder began September in a 3-for-35 slump, but Harris has busted out with seven hits in the last two contests, producing one homer, one steal, three RBI and four runs. Harris boasts a .291/.318/.490 slash line through 575 plate appearances on the year with a career-high 25 homers, plus 11 steals, 71 runs and 83 RBI, but he could be gearing up for a big finish over the final two weeks of the campaign.

Dubon went 3-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

The veteran utility player got the start in left field and hit fifth as he puts the finishing touches on a career-best campaign. Dubon has been in the lineup nearly every day for Atlanta while seeing extensive time in left (80 games) and shortstop (56 games) and occasionally covering center field, third base or second base, and he's set new career highs in homers (11) and steals (eight) while slashing .268/.313/.385 in 570 plate appearances.

Tatis went 3-for-4 with two RBI, two runs scored and a steal in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Giants.

Tatis was an active contributor in the win, picking up a trio of singles, including a pair of RBI knocks, while adding a steal in the fourth frame. The 27-year-old has mashed in September, slashing .395/.469/.721 with four homers, eight RBI, 10 runs and four stolen bases across 11 games this month. After a slow start to the season, Tatis has turned things around and is hitting .289/.358/.459 with 21 homers, 75 RBI, 87 runs and 35 stolen bases in 147 total contests.

Hill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Hill started the previous five games and will get a day off after going 1-for-19 with a double and two walks during that stretch. Drew Gilbert, Jonah Cox and Jung Hoo Lee are starting from left to right in the outfield while Scott Bandura makes his MLB debut as the designated hitter.
