Pederson isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Mariners.

With southpaw Marco Gonzales on the mound for Seattle, Pederson will get a day off. Chris Taylor will take over in left field, batting sixth.

Miller went 2-for-3 with two homers, three RBI and a walk in a loss to the Cubs in the second game of Monday's doubleheader.

Miller knocked a two-run shot for his first homer of the season in the second inning before going deep again in the fourth. He's 4-for-9 with three extra-base hits in his first three games this season.

Miller went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Cubs.

Miller delivered the big hit in this one, delivering a double with the bases loaded in the top of the seventh inning to give his club the lead. The veteran utility man could carve out a key role for himself if he continues to produce, especially given his versatility.

Colon cleared waivers and was outrighted to the Reds' alternate training site Monday.

Colon struggled with inconsistent playing time in the majors over the start of the season as he hit .130 with a double and two RBI over 23 at-bats. As a result, he was designated for assignment by the Reds on Friday, but he'll remain in the organization after he was unable to find a spot on another team's 40-man roster.

Torrens was recalled from the Padres' alternate training site Monday.

The Padres were left with just one healthy catcher with Francisco Mejia (thumb) sidelined, so Torrens will serve as depth behind the plate while Mejia is on the 10-day injured list. Austin Hedges should see the majority of the time at catcher. Torrens made brief appearances in the majors during the 2017 and 2019 seasons, recording a .168/.250/.212 slash line with four doubles and seven RBI over 137 at-bats.

Carpenter went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in a loss to the White Sox on Sunday.

Carpenter prevented the indignity of a shutout for the Cardinals by plating Tommy Edman and Paul Goldschmidt with a sixth-inning single for the only two Cardinals runs of the day. The veteran had a productive weekend against the White Sox despite going just 2-for-11 in three games, as he drove in four runs overall during that stretch.

Blackmon went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and two walks Sunday against the Rangers.

Blackmon drove in his first run of the game on an infield single in the second inning. He followed that up with a double deep to right field in the fourth frame to record his 22nd RBI of the season. After two rare hitless performances, Blackmon collected hits in each of the Rockies' final two games of their weekend series. For the campaign, Blackmon is now hitting .446/.489/.663 with three home runs and 19 runs scored across 92 plate appearances.

Belt went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 15-3 loss to Oakland.

Belt's second-inning homer was his first since Aug. 5 and second of the season. The 32-year-old lefty is still slashing just .186/.271/.349 in 48 plate appearances this season.

McCutchen went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win against the Mets.

McCutchen wasn't in the starting nine Sunday, but he gave the Phillies a boost as part of a three-run sixth inning to put the team ahead. The home run was the first of the season for the 33-year-old, who has a .528 OPS with seven RBI in 2020.

Turner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Edwin Rios will get a turn at third base in place of Turner, who is likely just receiving a routine off day. Turner is hitting .280 with two home runs, 16 RBI and 12 runs through the Dodgers' first 22 games.
