Lawlar (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Amarillo on Tuesday, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Lawlar will play back-to-back rehab games Tuesday and Wednesday before the Diamondbacks determine the next steps for the outfielder. Considering Lawlar has been sidelined since late June with a strained right hamstring, he is likely to require a handful of rehab contests before being reinstated.

Tawa went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-1 win over San Diego.

Tawa turned on an inside sinker from Michael King and launched it into the left-field seats to give Arizona a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning. The utility man had gone 1-for-23 (.043) over his previous seven games before Monday's standout performance. On the year, Tawa is hitting .224/.280/.385 with five homers, 24 RBI, 17 runs and two stolen bases across 56 contests.

Moniak went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple, an additional RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 13-9 loss to the Rays.

Moniak unloaded on an elevated fastball from Michael Grove, sending it 447 feet into the second deck in right field for a solo homer in the eighth inning. The 28-year-old has been a constant threat at the plate in 2026, slashing .277/.318/.565 with 18 homers, 49 RBI, 39 runs and a stolen base across 75 games. With the Rockies opting to hold onto Moniak beyond Monday's trade deadline, the two sides have reportedly agreed to a two-year extension that is expected to be finalized Tuesday, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com.

Taylor (oblique) has been taking light swings and rehabbing at the Padres' spring complex in Arizona, MLB.com reports.

Taylor has been sidelined since early July due to a right oblique strain. His timeline for a return remains unclear, though he'll likely need a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated due to the length of his absence from game action. Taylor had been providing a spark for San Diego prior to getting hurt, slashing .330/.410/.398 with one home run, 11 RBI, 14 runs and six stolen bases over 26 contests.

Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Cubs.

Hernandez launched an impressive long ball in the sixth inning, crushing a 443-foot blast to left-center field that completely cleared the bleachers. However, that proved to be the final run the Dodgers scored in their fourth straight loss. Hernandez has had a pretty quiet campaign with just 11 homers through 78 games, but he's been heating up in the power department of late. Over his past five contests, the veteran slugger has belted three homers while batting .421 (8-for-19) and collecting four RBI.

Lee went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three total RBI and a stolen base in a 5-1 win against the Rangers on Monday.

The night started inauspiciously for Lee when he struck out in the first inning. It was all roses for him from there, however, as he hit a solo homer in the third inning, singled and stole a base in the fifth, and cranked another solo homer in the eighth. It was the second multi-homer game of Lee's MLB career, with the other coming versus the Yankees on April 13 last year. He's been swinging a hot bat of late, going 12-for-31 (.387 batting average) with three homers, four doubles, nine RBI and two stolen bases over his past eight contests.

Wood hurt his left side during Monday's matchup against the Phillies and will undergo an MRI Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

On his last swing, Wood hurt his left side in the sixth inning. The 23-year-old tried to take a couple of swings, but didn't feel comfortable playing the rest of the game. Dylan Crews replaced Wood as a defensive substitution in the bottom of the eighth inning.

Moniak is closing in on a two-year contract extension with the Rockies, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Moniak has completely turned his career around since signing with the Rockies before the 2025 season. Since joining Colorado last season, Moniak has slashed .273/.312/.534 with 41 home runs and 115 RBI in 739 plate appearances. The deal is likely to be finalized Tuesday.

Happ is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

The Cubs will give Happ a breather after he went 0-for-7 with a walk and a strikeout in the final two games of the weekend series with the Yankees. After being recalled from Triple-A Iowa, Kevin Alcantara will enter the starting nine in left field in place of Happ on Monday.

Colorado recalled Beck from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.comreports.

Beck, who was recently activated from the injured list due to a hamstring strain, is back with the big-league club for the first time since mid-May. In 30 games before being sidelined, the 25-year-old slashed .183/.227/.305 with one homer and 10 RBI through 88 plate appearances. Beck is not in Monday's lineup for the series opener against the Rays, but is available off the bench.
