Hoerner went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers.

Hoerner contributed early in the blowout win, launching a solo homer to left field in the first inning. It marked the 29-year-old's first long ball since Aug. 4, as he slashed .287/.309/.333 with eight RBI, seven runs and five stolen bases during the 22-game homer drought. On the year, Hoerner is hitting .263/.319/.362 with eight homers, 62 RBI, 55 runs and 22 stolen bases across 135 contests.

The Rockies are expected to recall Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday when rosters expand, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Amador will provide Colorado with more infield depth once the move becomes official ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Baltimore. He spent five games with the Rockies earlier in the year, going 3-for-10 with one home run, six RBI and five runs.

Ramirez isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers due to back spasms, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Ramirez is hitting .333 with two runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored over his last seven games, but he'll be held out Monday with the back issue. It remains to be seen whether he'll be back in the starting nine for Tuesday's matchup.

The Marlins recalled Serna from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

The 24-year-old Serna will hit the big leagues for the first time and will provide the Marlins with some added depth in the middle infield after second baseman Xavier Edwards (thumb) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Over 337 plate appearances with Jacksonville on the season, Serna slashed .218/.300/.364 with 11 home runs and 14 stolen bases.

Nunez will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's game versus the Marlins.

Nunez had been slated to receive a day off, but he will enter the lineup after CJ Abrams (back) was scratched. The speedy Nunez is slashing only .215/.296/.251 this season but leads all of baseball with 43 stolen bases.

The Diamondbacks activated Marte (knee) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Marte is back in the Arizona lineup Monday, starting in the designated hitter spot and batting cleanup in the series opener against the Phillies. The 32-year-old was a no-show for the Diamondbacks' Aug. 17 game against the Red Sox, which led to him being placed on the restricted list initially before he was moved to the IL with left knee inflammation.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Monday's matchup with the Brewers.

Ramirez will get the night off after he had started in each of the last 14 contests. Matt Shaw will fill in for Ramirez at second base and will bat ninth.

The Marlins placed Edwards on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left thumb sprain.

Edwards had started or made a cameo off the bench in each of the Marlins' first 137 games, but he'll end up missing action for the first time all season after injuring his thumb when he attempted to apply a tag in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Nationals. The Marlins recalled infielder Jared Serna from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move and could end up leaning on a committee of Serna, Javier Sanoja and Leo Jimenez at second base while Edwards is on the shelf.

Nunez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

CJ Abrams made his first start at second base for the Nationals on Sunday versus the Marlins, but he'll move back to shortstop for Monday's series finale. That will push Nunez to the bench, and Jorbit Vivas to the keystone.

Wetherholt will have his injured right wrist examined by a specialist in Arizona early this week, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Wetherholt has dealt with discomfort in his wrist for the past month, and he was finally placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday after the pain had become "pretty, pretty bad" in recent days, per the infielder. He's been diagnosed with tendinitis, and a plan for treatment will be mapped out during his early-week exam. The Cardinals expect Wetherholt to return sometime in September, but more clarity regarding a timetable could be available later this week.
