Giants' Jung Hoo Lee: Sitting out versus righty
Lee is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Cardinals.
It's right-hander Michael McGreevy on the bump for the Cardinals, but the left-handed-hitting Lee will nonetheless begin the festivities on the bench. Drew Gilbert will slide over to center field, while Jerar Encarnacion will cover right field.

Padres' Fernando Tatis: Getting rare day off
Tatis is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.
It's a rare day off for Tatis, who had started each of the previous 18 contests. The Padres will go with Ryan O'Hearn in right field in Monday's series opener.

Griffin Conine RF | MIA
Marlins' Griffin Conine: Returns from 60-day IL
The Marlins activated Conine (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Conine underwent surgery back in late April to repair a dislocated left shoulder, but he's managed to work his way back to participate in the final week of the regular season. The 28-year-old looked sharp during a nine-game rehab stint with Triple-A Jacksonville, slashing .292/.514/.583 with two home runs and an 11:9 BB:K. The left-handed-hitting Conine should see some playing time versus righties in the final week, though the Marlins are tentatively scheduled to face four lefties in their six games.

Marlins' Joey Wiemer: Loses spot on active roster
The Marlins optioned Wiemer to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.
Wiemer will give up his spot on the 28-man active roster to outfielder Griffin Conine (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. After being recalled from Jacksonville on Aug. 17, Wiemer was used primarily as a short-side platoon outfielder and late-inning defensive replacement. He produced a .250/.293/.462 slash line with three home runs, 12 RBI and seven runs over 58 plate appearances.

Derek Hill CF | PHI
Marlins' Derek Hill: Activated and DFA'd
The Marlins activated Hill (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday and designated him for assignment.
Though Hill is considered fully recovered from his right hamstring strain after he completed a three-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville last week, the Marlins don't have room for him on the big-league roster heading into the final week of the season. He'll give up his spot on the 40-man roster to fellow outfielder Griffin Conine (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 60-day IL. Unless he catches on with another organization in the coming days, Hill will finish the 2025 season with a .213/.275/.331 slash line to go with three home runs, seven steals, 10 RBI and 19 runs over 141 plate appearances in the majors.

James Wood RF | WAS
Nationals' James Wood: Sitting as strikeouts mount
Wood is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
The left-handed-hitting Wood typically plays against most lefties, but he'll sit out a second consecutive matchup with Atlanta southpaw Chris Sale, who most recently faced the Nationals in the second game of a doubleheader last Tuesday. The Nationals' decision to hold Wood out against a power pitcher like Sale could be a measure to prevent the 23-year-old outfielder from adding to his mounting strikeout total. With six games remaining in the season, Wood has already struck out 215 times, leaving him eight shy of matching the MLB single-season record established by Arizona's Mark Reynolds in 2009.

Daylen Lile LF | WAS
Nationals' Daylen Lile: Sitting out series opener
Lile (knee) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
Lile will get at least one day off to heal up from the painful-looking injury he sustained while sliding into the left-field wall in pursuit of a flyball in the third inning of Sunday's win over the Mets. Following Lile's removal from the contest, the Nationals relayed that he had been diagnosed with a left knee contusion, so the team is seemingly viewing him as day-to-day for the time being. Robert Hassell will replace Lile in left field and will bat ninth Monday.

Fernando Tatis Jr. RF | SD
Padres' Fernando Tatis: Slugs long ball Sunday
Tatis went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the White Sox.
Tatis produced the Padres' only extra-base hit in the contest with his 432-foot solo shot in the third inning. The talented right fielder has been hot of late, collecting five multi-hit efforts over his past eight contests and batting .406 (13-for-32) with two homers, three RBI, 11 runs and three stolen bases over that span. Tatis has posted a fine .805 OPS through 681 appearances in what has been a promisingly healthy campaign, adding 23 homers and 66 RBI while establishing new career highs with 108 runs and 32 stolen bases.

Dylan Crews RF | WAS
Nationals' Dylan Crews: Pilfers 17th bag
Crews went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Mets.
The 23-year-old outfielder extended a modest hitting streak to six games as he attempts to close a tough second season in the majors on a high note. Crews sports a .258/.313/.403 slash line through 19 games in September, a step up from his .215/.287/.356 line on the year, and during the final month he's supplied two of his nine homers and three of his 17 steals.
