The Cardinals recalled Scott from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Scott slashed only .237/.320/.342 with two homers and 23 steals in 57 games after being sent down to Memphis in early June, but he did hit .270/.356/.360 with 13 stolen bases in August. The speedy outfielder could be used primarily as a defensive replacement and pinch runner in the final month.

Harris went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Giants.

Harris led off the second inning by taking Anthony Molina deep for a solo homer, his 23rd of the season. He's now reached safely in 15 consecutive games, batting .362 with three homers during that stretch. Harris is enjoying a career year with several personal bests, while his .825 OPS shows significant improvement from the .677 mark he posted last season.

Conforto went 1-for-1 with a three-run home run in Monday's 17-3 win over Milwaukee.

With position player Andrew Vaughn pitching, Conforto came off the bench and crushed a three-run homer in the eighth inning. The 33-year-old's playing time is somewhat sporadic, but he's brought some juice with three homers over his past seven contests. Overall, Conforto is hitting .235/.325/.479 with 13 homers, 37 RBI, 29 runs and a stolen base in 246 plate appearances.

Shaw went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers.

Playing all nine innings for the first time since returning from the injured list Friday, Shaw also hit his first home run since June and just his fifth of the season. The 24-year-old missed two months due to a sprained left hand, but now that he's back, he gives the Cubs a versatile option to use across the field. Shaw's playing time may be too inconsistent to move the needle for fantasy managers in the short term, however.

Lile went 3-for-3 with a pair of two-run home runs and a walk in Monday's 6-3 win over Miami.

Monday marked Lile's fourth multi-homer game of the season. The outfielder is tearing the cover off the ball over his last 11 games, during which he's batting .450 with five long balls, three doubles, one triple, 15 RBI and one stolen base covering his last 40 at-bats. He's hit safely in eight of his last nine outings as well.

Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers

Suzuki had a rare 0-for-5 game Sunday, but he got right back into the groove Monday. The outfielder recorded his third three-hit effort across his last four contests, and he finishes August batting .303 with a sharp .957 OPS in 27 games. With a prime spot in the heart of a potent Chicago lineup, Suzuki should remain one of the top offensive performers in fantasy baseball during the stretch run.

Taylor went 4-for-6 with a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers.

Taylor may have been a bit overshadowed by Alex Bregman, who recorded his second three-homer game of the month, but he still posted a great line in the easy win. The veteran outfielder has been outstanding for the Cubs since coming over at the trade deadline, as he now has a .409/.460/.545 slash line across 18 games with his new team. Taylor even batted cleanup Monday against Milwaukee lefty starter Kyle Harrison, so he appears to be earning a prominent role in Chicago.

Serrano (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Serrano ended up missing just over 10 weeks after picking up a shoulder strain in mid June. He reported to Double-A Binghamton following his activation and is 5-for-20 with two home runs and five RBI in five games since his return.

Hassell (undisclosed) has gone 5-for-14 with two doubles, one walk, two stolen bases, three RBI and three runs in four games for Triple-A Indianapolis since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

The 25-year-old outfielder has spent time at three levels since joining the Pirates organization in a July 16 trade, slashing .256/.373/.326 with three stolen bases over 12 contests.

Carrigg is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

The Rockies will keep Carrigg on the bench for a second straight game while he's fallen into a lull at the plate, producing a weak .154/.228/.288 slash line with a 29.8 percent strikeout rate over the past two weeks. With Carrigg and Zac Veen both sitting, the Rockies will roll out a starting outfield of Jordan Beck, Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak from left to right.
