Marsh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 10-7 win over the Dodgers.

Marsh ended a lengthy homer drought, last leaving the yard July 1 versus Pittsburgh. Although he's gone just 9-for-55 (.164) with a pair of solo shots during the month of July, the outfielder is still maintaining strong season numbers. Through 380 plate appearances, Marsh is slashing .293/.332/.482 with 16 big flies, 47 RBI, eight stolen bases and 53 runs scored and should remain locked into the heart of Philadelphia's batting order.

Thomas left Monday's game against Arizona after suffering an apparent left wrist injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Thomas was hit by a pitch on his left wrist during his at-bat in the top of the third inning, and he was replaced in the bottom of fourth. He's presumably being sent for further evaluation and can be considered day-to-day until more information becomes available.

Rodriguez was removed during the sixth inning of Monday's game against the Reds for an unspecified reason, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Rodriguez was struck by an errant throw on a play at first base in the bottom of the fifth inning and looked to grabbing at his left hamstring, per Jude, but the team has yet to provide an official update. Weston Wilson was deployed in right field and Victor Robles was bumped over to center in Rodriguez's place.

Mesa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Rays' 7-1 win over the Blue Jays on Monday.

Mesa got the Rays' offense in gear with a solo homer off Dylan Cease in the first inning. Mesa has gone yard in three consecutive games, and five of his eight home runs this season have come over his last nine appearances. He has a .779 OPS with three steals and 15 RBI over 116 plate appearances this season.

Mullins went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during the Rays' 7-1 win over the Blue Jays on Monday.

Mullins gave the Rays a 5-1 lead in the sixth after belting a solo home run off Dylan Cease. It was the 12th time Mullins has gone long this season, though he's just 3-for-35 (.086) with two solo home runs and 11 strikeouts over his last 10 outings.

DeLauter went 4-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI during the Guardians' 13-4 win over the Twins on Monday.

Nearly everyone contributed to the Guardians' blowout win Monday, with DeLauter's doubles in the sixth and seventh innings driving home three runs. He matched a season high in both hits and RBI and extended his on-base streak to 12 games. In that 12-game span, DeLauter has gone 18-for-48 (.375) with one steal, four home runs, 11 RBI and seven runs scored.

Halpin went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs, three RBI and an additional run scored during Monday's 13-4 win over Minnesota.

It took 40 major-league games, but Halpin finally went yard for the first time in his career Monday. In fact, he was responsible for two of the Guardians' six homers off right-hander Joe Ryan in a blowout win. Halpin has seen a steady amount of reps in the outfield since rejoining the big club prior to the All-Star break, but he could be sent back down to Triple-A Columbus once Angel Martinez (foot) is reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Buxton went 2-for-3 in Monday's 13-4 loss to the Guardians.

Buxton was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game after recovering from a right hip injury, and he got to work immediately by getting on base in each of his first two plate appearances. The veteran center fielder is looking to build off a strong first half of the season, when he posted a .903 OPS with seven steals, 25 home runs and 45 RBI across 335 plate appearances.

Bader (foot) is unlikely to be activated from the 10-day injured list until after the trade deadline, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

Bader was cleared to resume running the bases at the beginning of the month, but the team hasn't provided much of an update since. Manager Tony Vitello stated Monday that Bader is progressing slowly, and he failed to provide an estimated timetable for the outfielder's return. The 32-year-old will presumably need to complete a rehab assignment in the minors before being activated.

Smith is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Smith will get the evening off after he went 0-for-13 with five strikeouts while starting in all three of the Astros' games against the Orioles over the weekend. Taylor Trammell will fill in for Smith in right field and will bat seventh.
