McCutchen was diagnosed with a sprained left knee after exiting Monday's 8-2 loss to the Padres and is slated to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

The Phillies will await the results of McCutchen's MRI before making any roster moves, but it appears likely that the 32-year-old will require a stay on the 10-day injured list. In addition to manager Gabe Kapler relaying that Triple-A Lehigh Valley outfielder Adam Haseley would join the club in San Diego on Tuesday as a member of the taxi squad, McCutchen was spotted with crutches in the locker room after Monday's game and made an ominous post on his personal Twitter account implying concern about the injury. If McCutchen is in fact shut down, Haseley or the newly acquired Jay Bruce would likely see most of the action in left field, while Jean Segura or Cesar Hernandez could represent the top candidates to replace McCutchen as the Phillies' leadoff hitter.

McCutchen left Monday's game against the Padres after appearing to injure his left knee, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

McCutchen suffered the injury while in a rundown, and he needed assistance just to get off the field. While this doesn't look good for the veteran outfielder, he'll be considered day-to-day until the team reveals the nature of the injury.

Turner will receive a day off either Tuesday or Wednesday this week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Turner missed four games with a sore hamstring before rejoining the lineup Monday, but manager Dave Roberts said he'll give the third baseman another day off this week to manage his workload. Max Muncy drew the starts at the hot corner when Turner was out, so he figures to be in line to do so once again for whichever game Roberts decides to rest him.

Turner (hamstring) is starting at third base and hitting third Monday against the Diamondbacks, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

As expected, Turner has been cleared to rejoin the starting lineup after missing the past four games with a sore right hamstring (he did appear as a substitute in Sunday's win, drawing a walk in his only trip to the plate). The veteran third baseman, who is hitting .306/.394/.446 with six homers and a stolen base through 52 games this season, will face southpaw Robbie Ray in his return to the starting nine.

Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Padres.

The rookie refuses to slow down. Ramirez now has seven multi-hit performances in his last 13 games, slashing .415/.456/.547 over that stretch with a homer, 10 RBI and 11 runs. While the hits will stop falling in quite as often at some point, and it's not yet clear if the 24-year-old has a lot of over-the-fence power, Ramirez is establishing himself as a potentially key piece in the latest chapter of the Marlins' perpetual rebuild.

Belt went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks and a run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Orioles.

Belt has been locked in at the plate of late, stringing together a nine-game hit streak (.313) with a homer and six RBI over that span. The 31-year-old tends to run fairly hot or cold at times, so his fantasy owners are hoping this hot streak carries on.

Pederson went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a victory over the Phillies on Sunday.

After leaving four men on base in his first four plate appearances, Pederson drilled a two-run shot to cap a seven-run eighth inning for the Dodgers. Despite sitting most games against lefties, Pederson is now tied for fourth in the majors with 18 homers this season. He also ranks second to Christian Yelich with a 9.0 AB/HR. His season slash line rests at .272/.374/.667.

Dickerson (wrist) was activated off the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Dickerson has been out with the right wrist sprain for almost two weeks and will return to the minors after going 3-for-19 with one run and two RBI in 12 games with the Friars. The 29-year-old will look to continue tearing the cover off the ball at El Paso, where he has a 1.055 OPS in 104 plate appearances this season.

Reyes is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Reyes started the last five games and went 4-for-20 with a solo homer after missing time with a sore shoulder last weekend. Josh Naylor will start in right field and bat second in his stead Sunday.

Turner (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Phillies, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Turner will remain out of the starting nine for the fourth consecutive game while he continues to nurse a sore right hamstring. According to David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports, manager Dave Roberts expects the veteran third baseman to rejoin the lineup Monday at Arizona.
