Myers is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.

For the third time across the last four contests, the right-handed-hitting Myers will hit the bench against a right-handed starter (in this case, Michael King). He could be reverting back into a platoon with TJ Friedl, who will occupy center field Monday.

Crews is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Marlins.

After starting each of the previous 11 games, Crews will retreat to the bench in Monday's series finale. Andrew Pinckney will patrol right field for the Nationals while Crews rests.

Hill is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Atlanta, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

He'll take a seat for the makeup game in Atlanta while the Giants go with a starting outfield of Drew Gilbert, Jonah Cox and Jung Hoo Lee from left to right. Hill had been included in the lineup for six of the Giants' previous seven games, going 5-for-19 with two doubles, four walks, four RBI, two runs and one stolen base during that span.

The White Sox acquired Pham from the Phillies on Monday in exchange for cash considerations, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Pham got into nine games with the Mets earlier this season but has spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level, most recently posting a .772 OPS with three home runs in 44 contests with Lehigh Valley. He was on a minor-league contract with the Phillies but is expected to be added to Chicago's active roster Tuesday. The 38-year-old Pham could see some action in the corner outfield or at designated hitter against left-handed pitching.

The Mets recalled Morabito from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

Morabito will help restore some depth in the outfield after the Mets lost Luis Robert, who was claimed off waivers by the Orioles. The 23-year-old was in the majors for a brief spell earlier this season, going 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts at the plate. Morabito has slashed .254/.355/.388 with 13 home runs and 42 stolen bases across 114 contests for Syracuse this season. With Robert no longer around and Juan Soto limited to designated-hitter duties for the time being, Morabito could see some reps in the outfield down the stretch.

The Orioles claimed Robert off waivers from the Mets on Monday, Chelsea Janes of SNY.tv reports.

Baltimore will assume the nearly $5 million remaining on Robert's contract with the hope that he can provide a lift in the outfield over the final month of the season. That $5 million figure includes a $2 million buyout that will need to be paid out during the offseason, assuming the Orioles choose not to exercise Robert's $20 million club option for 2027. While spending extended time on the shelf due to lumbar spine disc herniation, Robert had been limited to just 58 games for the Mets in 2026, slashing .223/.303/.399 with 10 home runs, two stolen bases, 24 runs and 23 RBI.

Carpenter (foot) was on track to have his walking boot removed this past weekend, MLB.com reports.

The Tigers haven't officially confirmed whether Carpenter did in fact have his boot removed, but assuming that came to pass, the 28-year-old could be ready to start ramping up his baseball activities again. Carpenter has been on the shelf since July 27 due to left foot plantar fasciitis and appeared to be in line to come back from the injured list during the second half of August before a setback ended up pushing back his return date.

DeLauter started in right field and went 4-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 11-1 win over the Royals.

DeLauter, who recorded his third four-hit game, keeps chugging along deep into his rookie season. Sunday's start in right field marked his first in the field since returning from a hamstring injury; he served as the designated hitter the previous two games.

DeLuca went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Padres.

DeLuca came through with Tampa Bay down to its final out, taking Mason Miller deep for a game-tying two-run homer in the ninth inning to force extras in the eventual victory. He would drive in another run in the 11th, reaching base due to a fielding error. His three RBI tied a season high and continued a productive stretch in which he's recorded at least one hit in 10 of his last 12 games. DeLuca is batting .266 with a .732 OPS across 89 games this season.

Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Cubs.

Rodriguez was the first of four Reds to homer, launching a three-run blast in the fourth inning. The rookie has found his footing of late, going 10-for-27 (.370) with four homers, seven RBI and seven runs over his past seven games. In total, he's hitting .230/.309/.459 with four homers, nine RBI and nine runs across 19 games (68 plate appearances) since being promoted to the majors Aug. 4.
