Dickerson (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Dickerson spent nearly two weeks at Triple-A Sacramento on a rehab assignment, and he went 6-for-11 with a home run, three doubles, four runs and two RBI across the last three games. The 31-year-old isn't guaranteed an everyday role now that he's healthy since LaMonte Wade and Austin Slater are available, but he'll rejoin the active roster after Darin Ruf (oblique) landed on the 10-day IL on Thursday. Dickerson isn't starting Thursday's game against the Padres but should be available off the bench.

Ruf was placed on the injured list with a right oblique strain Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 20.

Ruf hadn't appeared in either of the last two games, and his absence was apparently due to an oblique issue. The severity of the injury isn't yet clear, and whether he's able to return prior to the end of the regular season remains to be seen. Wilmer Flores could see a slight uptick in playing time as the primary backup at first base, while Alex Dickerson (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.

Blackmon isn't starting Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

Blackmon had started each of the last three games, and he went 4-for-11 with three doubles, three runs and an RBI. Raimel Tapia, Garrett Hampson and Sam Hilliard will start in the outfield from left to right.

Vogelbach remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

Vogelbach has taken on a bench role recently and is out of the lineup for a fourth straight game. He's appeared as a pinch hitter in each of the last two contests and earned a walk in both plate appearances. Eduardo Escobar will shift to first base while Luis Urias starts at the hot corner Thursday.

McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's win over the Orioles.

The outfielder took reliever Eric Hanhold deep in the sixth inning, scoring Bryce Harper in the process. It was his 25th home run of the season, his highest number since 2017. The 35-year-old has now secured a hit in five of his last six contests, including five extra-base hits.

Vogelbach isn't starting Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Vogelbach has lost out on playing time recently and will be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game. Jace Peterson will start at first base and bat seventh.

Miller isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Miller has gone 0-for-6 with three strikeouts across his last three appearances, and he'll head to the bench with left-hander Keegan Akin on the mound for the Orioles. Matt Vierling will start at first base and bat eighth.

Soler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in a 6-1 triumph over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Batting first, Soler took Arizona starter Luke Weaver deep to right in the fifth inning for his 24th home run of the season. The midseason acquisition has now hit safely in all but two games in September, slashing .274/.312/.493 across 18 contests this month.

Beer will undergo surgery on his dislocated left shoulder Thursday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The 25-year-old remains without a specific timeline for his return, though manager Torey Lovullo said the timeline will be measured in "months not weeks." Beer went 4-for-10 with a home run, a double, three RBI and four runs in his first five big-league games before suffering the dislocated shoulder, and it's unclear if he'll be ready for the start of spring training in February.

Vogelbach isn't starting Tuesday's game against St. Louis, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Even though right-hander Jake Woodford is on the mound for the Cardinals on Monday, Vogelbach will be on the bench for the third time in the last four games. Eduardo Escobar will shift to first base while Luis Urias starts at the hot corner.
