Tatis went 2-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Monday's loss against the Phillies.

Tatis followed up his three-hit performance Sunday by reaching base four times Monday, though both came in losing efforts. The 27-year-old is still searching for his first homer of the campaign, but he has swung the bat much better of late, going 10-for-24 (.417) across the past seven contests while reaching safely in nine consecutive games. His stolen-base total is now up to 13, tied for third-best in the National League.

Marsh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 3-0 win over the Padres.

Marsh extended the Phillies' lead with a line-drive, two-run smash over the right-field fence in the top of the seventh inning. It marked the outfielder's first homer since April 24, though he still managed to post an .801 OPS across 27 games during the dry spell. Marsh's .318 batting average ranks third in MLB to go along with 16 extra-base hits (five homers), 24 RBI, 28 runs and four stolen bases across 50 contests.

Wood went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 10-2 win over Cleveland.

Wood wasted no time making an impact, leading off the game with a 412-foot homer off Tanner Bibee as part of the Nationals' five-homer barrage against the right-hander. The four-hit performance tied a season high for the young star, who continues to be one of the hottest hitters in baseball. Wood has now reached base safely in 10 of his last 11 games while batting .395 (17-for-43) with eight walks during that stretch. On the season, he is slashing .267/.405/.533 with 14 home runs, 14 doubles, 35 RBI, 47 runs scored and eight stolen bases.

Johnson was released by Houston on Sunday.

Johnson was brought back on a minor-league deal with the Astros earlier in May. However, he struggled to a .191 average with one home run, two RBI, two stolen bases and seven runs scored in 11 games since signing the deal, and he'll now be tasked with searching for an opportunity elsewhere.

Smith (hamstring) was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Smith had a slow start to 2026 after picking up a hamstring injury. However, he successfully completed a rehab assignment and has returned to High-A Bowling Green. He's now 3-for-13 with two stolen bases and three runs scored in four games since being activated.

O'Hearn (quadriceps) worked out in the outfield ahead of Monday's game against the Cubs, MLB.com reports.

O'Hearn did agility and cone drills in the outfield, marking his first activity since being placed on the injured list May 17. He remains on track for a mid-June return.

Hays (calf) will play in at least two more rehab games with Triple-A Charlotte before he is evaluated for a potential return, MLB.com reports.

Hays has played in seven rehab games and has gone 5-for-24 with two homers and a .208 batting average. The Knights will play Tuesday and Wednesday, meaning the earliest Hays could be activated based on this report would be Thursday. However, it's not a certainty that he will return at that point.

Pereira (pectoral) resumed throwing Monday, MLB.com reports.

It's been almost exactly one month since Pereira landed on the injured list, and he has made some progress. However, it was also noted that Pereira still needs to build up additional arm strength prior to his return, so an exact timeline for his return remains unclear.

Turley (hand) is batting .115 with one home run, three RBI and one stolen base in his last seven games.

Turley was activated from the 7-day injured list April 27 after recovering from a fractured hand. He was producing at a serviceable level in his first 13 appearances after returning, posting a .256 average with seven RBI for Single-A Stockton, but he's fallen on hard times lately.

Taylor (hip) will be sent for an MRI, but the team expects that he'll require a stint on the injured list, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Taylor was pulled from Monday's game against Cincinnati after suffering a right hip injury, and the team has yet to reveal the severity of the issue. Assuming he does land on the injured list over the next day or so, A.J. Ewing and Bretty Baty could pick up a few extra at-bats.
