Groshans is expected to be called up by the Marlins on Tuesday, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Groshans posted an .814 OPS over 31 games with Triple-A Jacksonville after being acquired from the Blue Jays at the trade deadline, and it appears that earned him his first trip to the big leagues.

Jung went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 10-6 loss to Miami in the second game of Monday's doubleheader.

Jung started at third base in both ends of the two-game slate and doubled in the matinee. Since having his contract selected, Jung is 5-for-20 with four of those hits going for extra bases, including two home runs.

Hayes went 2-for-5 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Monday's 6-3 win over the Reds.

Hayes stole second and third base in the fifth inning and he's now 17-for-22 in steal attempts on the year. He's hitting just .236 with six multi-hit games through 25 appearances since the start of August. Hayes has registered a .244/.314/.343 slash line with 47 runs scored and 29 extra-base hits through 490 plate appearances.

Longoria isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Longoria will get a night off after collecting a pair of hits in Sunday's series finale in Chicago. Wilmer Flores gets the nod at the hot corner and is set to hit third in Longoria's absence.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with three RBI and a walk in Sunday's 11-2 win against San Diego.

Muncy missed the Dodgers' previous two games due to a left knee issue, but he was able to play as the designated hitter Sunday. The veteran notched a two-run single in the sixth inning and recorded another RBI with a bases-loaded walk in the following frame. Muncy has recorded exactly three RBI in each of the past three games in which he's played, pushing his total to 60 runs batted in on the season.

Rendon (wrist) took batting practice Monday and continues to target a return from the 60-day injured list before the end of the season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rendon was presumed to be shut down for the 2022 campaign when he underwent surgery June 21 to address a right wrist injury, but the 32-year-old has seemingly progressed far faster than anticipated. Even though the Angels have little at stake as the season winds down, Rendon is eager to play in a few games to close out the year to give him peace of mind about his health heading into the long offseason. According to Fletcher, the Angels' tentative plan is to activate Rendon in late September, assuming he remains free of setbacks as he ramps up his baseball activities. Once reinstated, Rendon will have to serve a five-game suspension stemming from his involvement in a late-June benches-clearing brawl with the Mariners. He would then play in handful of games to close out the season, perhaps making him someone worthy of picking up later this month in deeper leagues where he's available.

Walls will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Walls will stay in the lineup for the second game in a row, but he's expected to handle more of a utility role for Tampa Bay moving forward now that Wander Franco has returned from the 10-day injured list. However, after starting in all three games of the Rays' weekend series with the Yankees, Franco will get a breather Monday, paving the way for Walls to step in at shortstop. Walls played third base in Sunday's 10-4 loss to New York, going 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run.

McMahon went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in 12-6 loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

McMahon took Ian Kennedy for a ride to tally his 16th home run 62nd RBI of the season. He has now homered in consecutive starts after doing deep twice against the Diamondbacks on Friday. McMahon is slashing .250/.323/.571 in September and could be on the precipice of his first 20-homer season if he can continue to flex his power stroke down the stretch.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk in an 8-7 win against the Braves on Sunday.

Suarez walked in the first inning, swatted a solo home run in the fifth and blasted a walkoff solo shot in the ninth off Atlanta closer Kenley Jansen. The 31-year-old has been on a tear of late with five long balls in his last four contests while batting 6-for-17 during the stretch. Suarez has now hit the 30-homer benchmark in four of his last five seasons.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in a 9-3 loss Sunday against the Mets.

Anderson hit a solo homer in the fourth off Taijuan Walker and added a two-run shot in the eighth off Seth Lugo. It was his first two-homer game since knocking three out of the park Sept. 18, 2020. Entering play Sunday, he was 10-for-78 in his last 23 games and his OPS had fallen from .744 to .662. The two home runs Sunday brought his OPS up to .688 and gave him eight long balls on the season.
