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.

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.
