Pages (hand) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

As expected, Pages will be available for the start of LA's series against the Padres on Tuesday after missing time rehabbing from surgery to repair a fractured left hand. He was batting .288 with three home runs, nine RBI, two stolen bases and eight runs over 19 games in August before going down with the hand injury. He should slot right back in as the Dodgers' starting center fielder.

Malgeri went 2-for-4 with a double and a three-run home run in Monday's 9-2 win over the Nationals.

Malgeri recorded both his fourth home run and fourth double of the season in the easy win. The rookie outfielder has been known more for his speed in the early stages of his MLB career, as he's swiped five bases in five attempts through 55 games. Malgeri could profile as an Opening Day fourth outfielder in 2027 due to his decent wheels and ability to provide a little offense when called on, though his fantasy outlook will remain limited unless he seizes a regular starting role.

Bateman was removed from Monday's game against Baltimore due to right hip discomfort, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Bateman initially appeared to suffer a knee injury on a diving catch, but the team has since stated that he's dealing with a hip issue. His X-rays returned negative, and he'll be considered day-to-day moving forward, per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca.

Bateman left Monday's game against the Orioles with an apparent right knee injury, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Bateman made a sliding catch in the outfield to end the second inning, but his right knee appeared to get jammed in the outfield grass, and he stayed down after the play. He was eventually able to make his way off the field with the help of the team medical staff and is presumably headed for further evaluation. Bateman can be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Bradfield (hip) has gone 3-for-14 with a home run, three stolen bases and four runs in three games since a brief absence earlier in September due to right adductor tightness.

Bradfield missed two consecutive games a week ago after picking up the adductor injury, but he's managed to appear in three matchups since, signaling a return to health.

The Giants selected Davidson's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Davidson will man right field and bat third in Monday's series opener. He was impressive at Triple-A before earning his promotion to the major leagues, hitting .309 with 10 home runs, 41 RBI, six stolen bases and 36 runs in 52 games.

Lee was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a groin contusion, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

This transaction brings an early end to Lee's 2026 campaign. He'll finish the year slashing .276/.320/.404 with 10 home runs, 57 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 65 runs over 143 games.

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

McKinstry will take a seat for the third day in a row, this time against a lefty starter (DJ Herz). Since he had previously been held out of the lineup versus righties Davis Martin and Sean Burke in the series against the White Sox over the weekend, the left-handed-hitting McKinstry looks like he could be losing his grip on a strong-side platoon role. McKinstry's drop in playing time comes while he's slashed just .088/.184/.147 through 13 games in September.

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

After seeing his 10-game hitting streak come to an end during Sunday's 8-1 loss to the White Sox, Clark will be given a breather for the series opener versus the Nationals. Javier Baez will spell Clark in center field and will bat eighth.

Jenkins will start in center field and bat leadoff in Monday's contest versus the Giants.

It's the second straight day in the leadoff spot for Jenkins, who had not hit higher than eighth in any starts prior to this two-game stretch. After going 4-for-45 (.089) in his first 16 major-league games, Jenkins is 9-for-17 with a pair of home runs across his last four contests.
