Carrigg went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Royals.

Carrigg had gone 0-for-4 with four walks and a hit-by-pitch over his last three games. The outfielder is now 16-for-42 (.381) across 13 contests since the All-Star break, a span that also includes three of his five steals this year. Overall, the rookie is batting .305 with a .914 OPS, five home runs, 27 RBI, 32 runs scored, 10 doubles and three triples over 44 games. He has taken on the bulk of the playing time in center field since he was called up in June.

McCarthy went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Royals.

McCarthy's blast was his first since the All-Star break. He had a .599 OPS over his first 13 games after the break, though he logged six RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases during the power drought. McCarthy is hitting .289 with an .821 OPS, 11 homers, 62 RBI, 49 runs scored, 17 steals, 22 doubles and seven triples over 97 contests this season while making himself comfortable in the leadoff spot for a large portion of the campaign.

Giants manager Tony Vitello said Thursday that Bader (foot) won't return from the 10-day injured list before the end of the season, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Placed on shelf May 30 after experiencing plantar fasciitis in his left foot, Bader worsened the injury when he was involved in a scooter accident last weekend. According to Vitello, the Giants were already anticipating Bader to miss the remainder of the season before his accident, though the outfielder's recovery timeline could be extended as a result of the setback. Bader underwent a follow-up MRI on his foot earlier in the week, but the Giants haven't provided any details regarding to what extent the scooter accident worsened his injury. The 32-year-old will be heading into the second season of a two-year, $20.5 million deal in 2027 after finishing his inaugural campaign in San Francisco with a .170/.198/.358 slash line to go with five home runs, 14 RBI and 10 runs over 30 games.

Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Yankees.

Suzuki had half of Chicago's four hits and scored the team's lone run in the fourth inning. The outfielder has been dialed in lately, as he's batting .298 over his last 15 games with three home runs, 13 runs scored and 13 RBI. Overall, Suzuki is slashing .273/.364/.476 with 18 long balls, 60 runs and 61 RBI across 95 contests, making him a strong fantasy contributor.

McCray is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

McCray will take a seat for the second day in a row after he had started in each of the Giants' preceding six games while going 3-for-17 with a home run, a walk and two RBI. Drew Gilbert will cover center field Sunday, and he and McCray could jockey for playing time at the position until one of the two players separates himself from the other.

Freeman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Freeman started in each of the previous three games -- twice at second base, once in right field -- and went 2-for-9 with a run scored. The 27-year-old has produced an underwhelming .251/.322/.320 slash line with three home runs and six stolen bases over 279 plate appearances on the season and appears likely to handle a part-time role while the Rockies are relatively healthy.

The Mets acquired Smith, infielder Emilien Pitre and right-hander Gary Gill Hill from the Rays on Sunday in exchange for right-hander Freddy Peralta, Mark Feinsand and Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com report.

A 2023 fourth-round pick by the Mariners, Smith was sent to the Rays in 2024 in the Randy Arozarena trade and is now on the move once again. Smith has spent most of this season at the Double-A level, where he's struggled to a .215/.283/.410 slash line with 10 home runs, 14 steals and a 32 percent strikeout rate in 49 games.

Marte will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Marte will pick up a sixth consecutive start after going 4-for-19 with a double, an RBI, a run and an 0:7 BB:K over the Reds' previous five contests. He looks like he'll occupy a regular spot in the lineup while Spencer Steer (wrist) is on the injured list.

Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Unless the Marlins lose a corner outfielder to an injury or trade, Hernandez could have to settle for a part-time role against right-handed pitching. Hernandez had started every game dating back to July 8 while producing a .732 OPS during that span, but he looks to be the odd man out of the everyday lineup following Owen Caissie's return from the injured list Saturday.

The Marlins scratched Marsee from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets due to back spasms, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Miami will treat the center fielder as day-to-day heading into its three-game series in Atlanta that begins Tuesday. Esteury Ruiz will draw the start Sunday in place of Marsee.
