Carrigg is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

The Rockies will give the rookie a breather after he hit just .161 with a 3:10 BB:K while starting in each of the last eight games. With Carrigg on the bench, the Rockies will roll out a starting outfield of Zac Veen, Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak from left to right in the series opener in Washington, D.C.

The Nationals announced Monday that Wood (oblique) has extended his flat-ground throwing to 120 feet and has resumed hitting off a tee, Danielle Allentuck of The Washington Post reports.

Wood is three weeks removed from suffering a left oblique strain, and he's starting to increase his activity level. A timeline for Wood's return to the Nationals' active roster won't become clearer until he resumes taking batting practice, and the slugger could require a rehab assignment before coming back.

Atlanta recalled Hicklen from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Summoned from Gwinnett on Sunday to serve as Atlanta's 27th man in the MLB Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pa., Hicklen ended up going unused in a 4-2 win over the Brewers. Atlanta returned him to Triple-A immediately following the game to bring the active roster back to 26 men, but Hicklen will now be line for a more extended stay after the club optioned infielder Jim Jarvis to Gwinnett on Monday. Hicklen isn't expected to see meaningful playing time while he's up in the big leagues, with most of his opportunities likely to come late in games as a defensive replacement, pinch hitter or pinch runner.

Carroll went 2-for-3 with one double, one triple, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 5-3 win over Cincinnati.

Carroll delivered the insurance run with a sacrifice fly as part of Arizona's four-run seventh inning. Earlier in the game, he extended an on-base streak to 14 contests, during which he's slashed .340/.452/.720 with five doubles, four triples, two home runs, five RBI, nine walks, two steals and 11 runs scored. Carroll, who experienced a slump coming out of the All-Star break (15-for-76, .197 over 19 games), looks ready to carry the Diamondbacks in their quest for a playoff spot.

Acuna went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee in the Little League Classic.

Acuna has gone 4-for-32 (.125) with a 3:13 BB:K and two steals on three attempts over his last eight games. This was just his second game without a strikeout in that span, but his timing at the plate appears to be just a bit off right now. For the season, the star outfielder has struggled more than usual, batting .232 with a .745 OPS, 13 homers, 17 steals, 35 RBI, 44 runs scored, 12 doubles and one triple over 79 contests.

Harris went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee in the Little League Classic.

Harris restored a two-run lead for Atlanta with his ninth-inning blast. The outfielder had gone all of August without a homer prior to Sunday, though he hit .307 (23-for-75) with nine doubles and a triple during his power drought. For the season, Harris is batting .294 with an .813 OPS, a career-best 21 homers, 71 RBI, 62 runs scored, 30 doubles, one triple and seven stolen bases over 125 contests.

Suzuki went 2-for-3 with three runs scored, three walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 19-2 win over the Mariners.

Suzuki reached base five times, matching a season high with three runs scored in the blowout victory. The right fielder has been strong at the plate in August, hitting .269/.374/.500 with four homers, 14 RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases across 20 contests this month. Overall, Suzuki is slashing .270/.363/.479 with 22 homers, 74 RBI, 74 runs and three stolen bases over 113 games in 2026.

Cox went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Cox connected on a solo homer in the second inning to extend the Giants' lead to 3-0, though the club would ultimately relinquish the advantage. It marked his first RBI since being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 14, with the 25-year-old going 5-for-21 (.238) with two extra-base hits and two runs across seven games since rejoining the big-league club. Overall, Cox is slashing .255/.255/.489 with five extra-base hits (two homers), four RBI, seven runs and four stolen bases in 50 plate appearances this season.

Mitchell suffered a right forearm contusion Sunday against Atlanta, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Mitchell was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the fourth inning, and he was unable to take the field in the top of the fifth. After undergoing additional imaging, the result was determined to be a contusion, and he can be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's day off for Milwaukee.

Mitchell (arm) exited Sunday's contest against Atlanta in the fifth inning after being hit by a pitch, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Mitchell took a 94.4 mph fastball from Tyler Mahle off his right hand/wrist with two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning, and although he was able to finish the frame, Luis Lara replaced him in the outfield to open the top of the fifth. Mitchell developed quite the welt on his arm, and the team decided to pull him from the contest. The 27-year-old will likely undergo further evaluation, and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.
