Dickerson isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against San Diego, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Dickerson will head to the bench for the third straight contest with another lefty slated to toe the rubber for the opposition. Tyler Austin will once again man left field and bat third.

Carpenter was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a lower-back strain, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

After Carpenter missed his fourth consecutive start Sunday, manager Mike Shildt said the third baseman was dealing with a stomach issue. It turns out it's something more serious, and it will knock Carpenter out at least through the break. The 33-year-old rebounded after a slow start last year but hasn't been able to do that yet in 2019 -- he's batting .216/.325/.381 halfway through the season. Expect Tommy Edman to get a good amount of run in Carpenter's absence.

Carpenter (illness) isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Carpenter is in line to miss his fifth consecutive matchup, and it was revealed Sunday that he's been battling a stomach bug. He'll continue to be considered day-to-day until further notice. Yairo Munoz will lead off and start at the hot corner in Carpenter's absence.

Turner isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Turner will receive another day of rest, as he sat out of Sunday's matchup before a scheduled off day Monday. Edwin Rios draws the start at the hot corner and is batting seventh with Turner out of the mix.

Winker is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Despite going 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-6 loss in the series opener, Winker will find himself on the bench as the Reds oppose a right-handed starter (Chase Anderson). Considering Yasiel Puig received Monday off, manager David Bell may just be looking to keep some of the Reds' bench players involved now that Scooter Gennett's recent return from the injured list leaves one less spot available in the lineup. With Winker sitting Tuesday, Phillip Ervin will check into left field.

Dickerson isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Dickerson will head to the bench for the second straight day with a lefty taking the mound for San Diego. Tyler Austin draws the start in left field and is batting third with Dickerson out of the mix.

Belt went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-4 win over Arizona.

Belt has been operating as the club's leadoff man against righties this past week, and he moved down to second in the order against a southpaw Sunday. Part of the move to the top of the order was based on a lack of better on-base options, but it may have had something to do with the first baseman's mid-June power drought (.204 slugging percentage over last 15 games). Belt's power tends to come in bunches, so if he starts putting a charge into the ball again, then a move back to the middle of the order wouldn't be surprising.

Harper went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, four RBI and an additional run in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Marlins.

Each of Harper's three hits -- his most since May 30 -- plated a run and allowed the Phillies to avoid a series sweep at the hands of the last-place Marlins. He capped his afternoon with the two-run blast in the eighth inning, leaving him one home run and one hit shy of 200 and 1,000, respectively, for his career.

Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a walk and two runs scored Sunday against the Dodgers.

Blackmon plated a run in the fifth inning on an infield single, and he clubbed a solo homer to right center in the bottom of the ninth in a 10-5 loss. The 32-year-old has now hit safely in eight of his last 11 contests, slugging four homers while driving in nine runs over that span. He'll aim to stay hot at the dish with five games remaining before the All-Star break.

Pederson went 3-for-5 with three RBI, a walk and a run scored Sunday against the Rockies.

Pederson drove home a run in the fifth inning on a single to left field, and he plated two more in the sixth on another single. The 27-year-old outfielder has pieced together a modest six-game hitting streak, registering two extra-base hits and four RBI during that stretch. He'll aim to keep it rolling heading into Tuesday's series opener with the Diamondbacks.
