The Cubs optioned Caissie to Triple-A Iowa on Monday.

Caissie was unable to find regular reps in the Cubs' crowded outfield and slashed only .208/.240/.375 during his limited opportunities following his Aug. 14 call-up. The top prospect will head back to Iowa for now but could get another look later this month if a need arises.

The Giants recalled McCray from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

McCray appeared in 10 games for San Francisco last month and slashed just .100/.100/.200 with a 0:10 BB:K across 21 plate appearances. He owns a .746 OPS with 15 home runs and 27 stolen bases over 510 plate appearances with Sacramento this season.

The Cardinals activated Scott (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Scott missed the last couple weeks with a left ankle sprain but is ready to roll following a brief rehab assignment. The speedster should regain his role as the Cardinals' primary center fielder down the stretch, though Nathan Church could also be mixed in at the position on occasion. Church will draw the start in center field in Monday's series opener versus the Athletics.

Marsee went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Mets.

The rookie put the finishing touches on a dynamite August that saw him slash .352/.430/.629 over 24 games with four homers, nine steals, 18 runs and 25 RBI. Marsee won't keep up that incredible pace, but after a Triple-A breakout that began back in June, the 24-year-old looks like he might be the long-term solution for the Marlins in center field.

Crews is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Aug. 14, Crews had started in each of the Nationals' ensuing 16 games and slashed .218/.317/.309 with no home runs and three stolen bases. Crews had mustered just four hits in 24 at-bats over his last seven starts, so he'll get a chance to clear his head in the series opener with Miami. With Crews on the bench, Daylen Lile will pick up a start in right field.

Tatis acknowledged that he felt "a little tightness" in his right hamstring during Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Twins, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Tatis was seen grabbing at his hamstring during the seventh inning. He eventually exited the contest during the eighth inning, although his departure seemed to be more as a result of the game being out of reach, as the Padres pulled a couple other starters, as well. Tatis was walking around fine after the game and said he would be back in the lineup Monday against the Orioles.

Freeman went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI on Sunday against the Cubs.

Freeman contributed to a third-inning rally for the Rockies, driving in a run on a bunt single while also coming around to score. He now has hits in five of his last six games, driving in two, scoring twice and also tallying a stolen base. Freeman remains Colorado's leadoff hitter and has started 13 of the last 14 games.

Hays went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Cardinals.

Hays provided the big pop with a two-run home run in the fifth inning that broke a 3-3 tie and turned out to be the game-winning blow. It was the 12th homer in 85 games for Hays, who has bounced back nicely following a down season in 2024, when he posted a career-low .699 OPS with five homers in 85 games.

Tucker went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored during Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rockies.

Tucker has been on a tear lately, notching a hit in eight of his last nine games and posting multiple hits in three of his last four. During that nine-game stretch, Tucker is 14-for-32 with three home runs, four doubles and a 6:8 BB:K. The 28-year-old is slashing .270/.383/.470 in 2025, and his on-base percentage would be the second best of his career.

Moniak went 1-for-1 with an RBI triple during Sunday's 6-5 win over the Cubs.

Moniak didn't start the contest, but interim manager Warren Schaeffer called upon the 27-year-old in the bottom of the ninth in a tie game. Moniak delivered a walk-off triple, plating Ryan Ritter, who scored from first base. In his last seven games, Moniak is 10-for-30 (.333) with three doubles and two triples.
