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.

McLain moved from second base to shortstop during Sunday's game after Elly De La Cruz was removed in the seventh inning with a quadriceps injury.

De La Cruz's injury is not considered significant, and he could return in time for Monday's game pending an evaluation. McLain has been the primary second baseman since Spencer Steer (wrist) landed on the injured list July 27.

Arroyo started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Cubs.

Arroyo made his first start for the Reds since being called up Friday when the team placed Ke'Bryan Hayes (groin) on the 10-day injured list. This was his first time starting at third base for the Reds, although he did play seven games at the hot corner for Triple-A Louisville this year. He and Eugenio Suarez, who was the designated hitter Sunday, can fill in at third base while Hayes is unavailable.

Marte (knee) is expected to be activated ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Marte was initially placed on the restricted list when he failed to show up for a game at Fenway Park on Aug. 17. Both teammates and and team officials were left in the dark about the absence, before Marte and his agent met with general manager Mike Hazen and manager Torey Lovullo a few days later. The second baseman was then transferred to the 10-day injured list after an MRI revealed inflammation in his left knee.

Edwards (hand) was removed from the game after colliding with Jorbit Vivas at second base in the fifth inning, per Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network.

After having his left wrist/hand area tangled up while trying to tag Vivas at second base, Edwards was removed from the game. Edwards has played every game this season for the Marlins and is in jeopardy of missing his first game as Miami wraps up its series with the Nationals on Monday. Griffin Conine replaced Edwards in the bottom of the fifth while Javier Sanoja moved over to second base.
