Lile went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer, five RBI, a double, a stolen base and two runs scored during Monday's 13-3 win over Colorado.

Lile provided the exclamation point during Monday's win after launching a three-run blast to extend Washington's lead to 10. It was the 23-year-old's first long ball since Aug. 7, snapping a 14-game drought. This year, Lile has slashed .246/.294/.411 with 16 home runs, 71 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 544 plate appearances.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that Troy (shoulder) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno this week, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Troy has been out since mid-July after sustaining an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Due to the time that he's already missed, Troy will likely need at least a handful of rehab games before making his return from the injured list. Troy may have to settle for a reserve role in the outfield once he's reinstated.

The Giants recalled McCray from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

McCray will make his return to the big leagues after being demoted to Triple-A just 10 days earlier. With Jung Hoo Lee is serving as the designated hitter Monday after Victor Bericoto (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list and Bryce Eldridge (personal) was placed on the bereavement list, McCray will start in right field and bat eighth in the series opener.

Bericoto was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a bone bruise in his right knee, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bericoto suffered a knee injury during Sunday's matchup and was forced from the game, and the team has since determined that he'll require a trip to the injured list. Grant McCray, who was promoted Monday, and Jonah Cox could see more opportunities in the corner outfield spots with Bericoto out of commission.

Rengifo is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Pirates.

Rengifo had made seven consecutive starts, but he'll take a seat as the Padres open up a series against Pittsburgh. Dustin Harris -- who was added to the roster earlier Monday -- will start in left field.

The Padres selected Harris' contract from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Harris inked a minor-league contract with the Padres before the All-Star break after being granted his release from the White Sox in early July. He has a 1.039 OPS with 10 steals, six homers and 26 RBI over 135 plate appearances with El Paso this season, and the move bolsters a Padres outfield that is without Ramon Laureano (hip), Samad Taylor (oblique) and Miguel Andujar (wrist). In corresponding moves, Sung-Mun Song was optioned to Triple-A and Lucas Giolito (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

Lawlar is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Cubs.

Lawlar has started all five games versus left-handers since he returned from the injured list one week ago, but he has been out of the lineup both times the Diamondbacks have gone up against a righty. It's unlikely Lawlar will remain stuck in a short-side platoon indefinitely, but for the time being his playing time could remain unreliable.

Rodriguez is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Giants on Monday.

Rodriguez has gone 4-for-10 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored over his last three outings, but he'll be on the bench for Monday's series opener. Ivan Johnson, Dane Myers and JJ Bleday will man the Reds' outfield from left to right.

Lewis (wrist) went 3-for-25 with a triple and a 0:9 BB:K in his first seven games with Double-A Pensacola since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Aug. 14.

Lewis had been on the shelf for just over seven weeks due to a fractured wrist. The 23-year-old outfielder has struggled to find his swing since his activation but has still been an above-league-average hitter (104 wRC+) at Double-A this season, slashing .233/.303/.489 with 17 home runs and 14 steals over 73 games.

Conine is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Red Sox.

The left-handed-hitting Conine has received some opportunities recently to play against lefties, but he will take a seat in this one as Boston sends southpaw Ranger Suarez to the bump. Agustin Ramirez will slot in at designated hitter for the Marlins.
