Lawlar was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cubs after getting hit on the head by a pitch, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Lawlar was taken out of the game immediately after taking a 98.5-mph fastball off his helmet in the eighth inning. He managed to get up and off the field under his own power, though he will likely be evaluated for a concussion. Ryan Waldschmidt would be in line to start more often in center field if Lawlar has to miss time.

Mitchell (forearm) is starting in center field and batting seventh Tuesday against the Mets, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Mitchell departed Sunday's game versus Atlanta with a forearm contusion after being hit by a pitch, but he's set to go following Monday's team off day. The 28-year-old has two doubles and a homer over his past three games, with those three-extra base hits being his first since Aug. 6.

Waldschmidt is out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Cubs, per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com.

After going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts during the series opener against the Cubs on Monday, Waldschmidt will sit out Tuesday. The Diamondbacks are starting Jordan Lawlar in center field and having him bat ninth for the second contest of a three-game set.

Myers is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

Myers went 0-for-4 in the series-opening 5-0 loss to the Giants on Monday. Myers last sat Aug. 17 against the Cardinals, but he came off the bench for a game-tying, pinch-hit home run in the bottom of the ninth. As for Tuesday, TJ Friedl has the start in center field and is batting ninth.

The Brewers reinstated Frelick (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, though he's not in the lineup against the Mets, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The outfielder has been on the shelf since just after the All-Star break due to a shoulder strain, and he's now back on the active roster after posting a .951 OPS with four doubles and two homers during a 10-game rehab assignment. Frelick's .631 OPS through 90 games this season would be a career worst, so he may need to improve his offensive production to fend off Luis Lara for playing time.

Hernandez is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

Hernandez is in the midst of an 18-game homerless stretch and is slashing .172/.200/.241 over that span. Alex Call will get the start in left field for the Dodgers while Hernandez regroups.

Gilbert went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Monday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

Gilbert hit a leadoff ground-rule double in the first inning before coming around to score, and he added another double in the second before scoring again. The 25-year-old outfielder has recorded four multi-hit performances in August, during which he's batting .250 with 13 runs scored, 10 RBI, three home runs and a stolen base in 68 plate appearances. Overall, he's slashing .239/.322/.379 with 38 runs scored, 31 RBI, seven long balls and a stolen base across 319 plate appearances this season.

McCray went 1-for-3 with a triple in Monday's 5-0 win over the Reds.

McCray was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday and lined a leadoff triple to right field in the fourth inning. He recorded his first triple with the parent club this season and his first hit with the Giants since July 30. Over 50 plate appearances with San Francisco in 2026, he's slashing .100/.234/.225 with six runs scored, four stolen bases, two RBI and a home run.

Carroll went 0-for-3 with a walk and two steals in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Cubs.

One of the few bright spots from Monday's shutout was Carroll's two steals in the fourth inning. Those thefts upped his season total 20, the fourth straight year he's reached that threshold.

Conforto went 3-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double, an additional run scored and a walk in Monday's 7-0 win over Arizona.

Conforto picked up a trio of hits, highlighted by a two-run homer to right field in the sixth inning. The 33-year-old has now homered in consecutive games for the first time this season after launching a long ball in Sunday's win over Seattle. With sporadic playing time, Conforto is slashing .232/.326/.473 with 12 homers, 33 RBI, 28 runs and a stolen base across 236 plate appearances in 2026.
