The Nationals transferred Crews (oblique) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of left-hander Konnor Pilkington, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Rochester. Crews' timeline for a return won't be affected by the move, as he's already missed more than 60 days and is close to beginning a rehab assignment as he works his way back from a left oblique strain.

Quintero is slashing .308/.422/.538 with 14 home runs, 34 steals, a 15.6 percent walk rate and a 21.8 percent strikeout rate in 79 games for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga.

Quintero has needed a challenge for weeks, if not months, but the Dodgers' High-A outfield is jam-packed with a trio of top-50 prospects: Josue De Paula, Mike Sirota and Zyhir Hope. As things stand, Quintero is building a strong case as the most dominant prospect at Single-A. He has a chance to be a fantasy star, but Quintero will turn 20 in September, so we're not learning any more about him until he faces High-A pitching.

Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said Monday that Nootbaar has not been able to swing a bat without feeling discomfort in his left ribcage, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The team had hoped Nootbaar would be ready to begin a hitting progression Monday, but it appears the outfielder is not ready for that yet. A timetable for Nootbaar's return won't become clear until he's able to ramp things up without pain. Nootbaar landed on the 10-day injured list just over a week ago with a left costochondral sprain, an injury which had kept him in and out of the lineup since late June.

Pages went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

Pages bolstered the Dodgers' lead with a seventh-inning blast, his first since July 2. Over the 13 games between homers, he hit .208 with just one double and one RBI, though that downturn is part of a larger slump for the Dodgers as a whole. The outfielder still has a .282/.321/.479 slash line with 18 homers, 60 RBI, 47 runs scored and eight stolen bases across 97 games, so there's no reason to think his playing time is at risk.

Wood went 2-for-4 with two walks, two doubles and an RBI during Monday's 10-8 win over the Reds.

After playing at an MVP level through the month of June, Wood has lost steam and, outside of a 5-for-5 performance on July 3, has had a tough month. He looked more like his early-season self Monday, reaching four out of six times, including two extra-base hits, and knocking in a run. The fact that his July slash line of .212/.305/.327 is still so far off of his season-long line of .275/.379/.526 is indicative of how dominant he was to start the season. The 22-year-old also has 24 home runs and 70 RBI to his name on the year.

Lile went 2-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and was also hit by a pitch, during Monday's 10-8 win over the Reds.

Lile's rookie season had yet to feature a performance with multiple RBI, but that changed with the youngster's bases-clearing triple in the first inning. The month has been otherwise forgettable for the 22-year-old, who has just one other multi-hit game in July. His season-long slash line is .232/.287/.360 to go along with six doubles, two triples, two homers and 11 RBI.

Stowers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Monday's 2-1 loss to the Padres.

The 27-year-old is in the midst of the best season of his career so far, slashing .295/.370/.564 with 60 RBI. Stowers has been particularly dominant over the past month, mashing 12 homers with a .372 average over his last 24 games. His 13 percent walk rate over that stretch shows that Stowers is seeing the ball well, and he has started against the last two lefties the Marlins have faced after often getting platooned in the first half.

Burleson left Monday's game against the Rockies with a bruise on the top of his right foot, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Burleson was sent for imaging following his departure from the contest, and it was reported after the game that X-rays returned negative. The team is considering him day-to-day moving forward, per Woo.

Profar went 0-for-3 with two walks, a steal and a run scored in Monday's 9-5 victory over San Francisco.

Profar notched his first steal of the season when he took second off Giants reliever Camilo Doval in the eighth inning. This marks the 32-year-old's first stolen base since Sept. 22, 2024, when he was a member of the Padres. Since returning from an 80-game PED suspension in early July, Profar has batted .238 (15-for-63) with three homers, 11 runs scored and eight RBI across 15 games.

Burleson left Monday's game against the Rockies after suffering an apparent right knee injury, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Burleson exited the matchup after fouling a ball off his right knee during his seventh-inning at-bat. He's presumably headed for further evaluation to determine his availability for the rest of the series. Garrett Hampson took Burleson's place in left field.
