Ramos went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Cardinals.

Ramos reached the 20-homer mark for the second year in a row when he went yard in the sixth inning. He's hit three of those long balls over his last five games, a span that also includes a trio of multi-hit efforts. For the season, the outfielder is up to a .259/.331/.401 slash line with 66 RBI, 84 runs scored, 24 doubles, one triple and six stolen bases over 153 contests as the Giants' starting left fielder.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a two-run triple in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Hernandez had gone just 2-for-20 over his previous six games, and he was given Sunday off to reset before a team off day Monday. The outfielder responded well, opening the scoring with his solo shot in the second inning before plating two more runs in the sixth on his first triple of the year. He's at a .246/.285/.459 slash line with 25 homers, 88 RBI, 64 runs scored, five stolen bases and 28 doubles across 130 contests.

Freeman was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Mariners due to lower-back tightness.

The Rockies haven't offered any details regarding the severity of Freeman's injury, but it will be enough to prevent him from playing Tuesday. Kyle Farmer will replace him as Colorado's designated hitter and bat eighth.

Collins isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus San Diego.

Collins remains in search of his first hit since Sept. 12, although he drew two walks and scored a run Monday. He'll retreat to the dugout Tuesday while Jackson Chourio, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick form Milwaukee's outfield trio.

Myers was removed from Tuesday's game against the Phillies with a right knee laceration, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Myers collided with the right-field wall while attempting to make a catch in the second inning and came down awkwardly on his right leg. He exited the game on a cart, and although the Marlins have yet to provide information on the severity of his injury, early indications don't seem promising for the 29-year-old.

Merrill is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

Merrill will get his first day off since Sept. 1 after he went 2-for-5 with two strikeouts in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings win. Bryce Johnson will start in center field and bat seventh versus Milwaukee.

Tatis (illness) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

Tatis has been battling a series of illnesses, including influenza and COVID-19, and he'll remain sidelined Tuesday. Ramon Laureano will draw the start in right field and bat fourth versus Milwaukee.

Lile (knee) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game versus Atlanta.

Lile missed the first game of the series Monday with a knee issue, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go Tuesday. The rookie has been one of the best hitters in baseball in September, slashing .378/.432/.757 with four home runs.

Hays (back) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Pirates.

Hays had to be lifted from Saturday's game versus the Cubs with back spasms and will now miss a second straight start. Will Benson will handle left field and Noelvi Marte will patrol right field for the Reds in Tuesday's series opener.

Nimmo will start in center field and bat cleanup in Tuesday's contest versus the Cubs.

Nimmo has plenty of past center-field experience, but this will be just his fifth appearance and first start at the position this season. Starling Marte will start in left field for the Mets.
