The Phillies placed Miller on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right hip flexor strain.

Miller likely picked up the injury at some point during Tuesday's 15-inning win over the Tigers, when he came off the bench late in the contest and made a pivotal defensive play to wipe out a potential go-ahead run by Detroit. The Phillies activated Sean Rodriguez (abdomen) from the IL in a corresponding move, and he'll essentially fill the utility role that Miller had occupied prior to getting hurt.

Harper is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Though the Phillies have the designated hitter spot available in Detroit, manager Gabe Kapler decided to give Harper a true day of rest following Tuesday's 3-2 win in 15 innings. Harper, who will bow out of the lineup for the first time since June 12, will be replaced in the outfield by Adam Haseley.

Dickerson went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Cubs.

After sitting out two games with some mild tightness in his oblique, Dickerson returned to action and looked to be 100 percent. He's now slashing .351/.406/.691 through 37 games with six homers and 24 RBI.

Carpenter (foot) went 0-for-2 with a run and a walk in Triple-A Memphis' loss to New Orleans on Tuesday.

Carpenter started at third base and played seven innings in the field before being pinch hit for in the home half of the frame. The veteran infielder is slated for two more games with the Redbirds before a likely activation Friday.

Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the White Sox.

Ramirez took Dylan Covey deep in the fifth inning to to record his fifth home run of the season. He's been mired in a slump of late, recording just four hits and whiffing six times in his last 20 at-bats. Still, he's earned at-bats atop the Marlins' lineup, giving him some decent upside to score runs. He's now hitting .279/.316/.402 across 231 plate appearances for the campaign.

Dickerson (oblique) is starting in left field and batting fourth Tuesday against the Cubs.

Dickerson was held out of Monday's matchup due to tightness in his right oblique, but he'll be right back in the starting nine for the second game of the series. He's hitting .522 with a home run and six RBI over his last seven contests.

Carpenter (foot) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

A late-weekend report had Carpenter's rehab assignment starting "sooner rather than later" according to manager Mike Shildt, and that was corroborated with Monday's announcement. Carpenter is expected to play three games with the Redbirds before potentially returning to the Cardinals if all goes off without a hitch. However, with Tommy Edman and Yairo Munoz both playing well at third base in Carpenter's absence, it remains to be seen whether the veteran will immediately resume an everyday role.

Dickerson is out of Monday's lineup against the Cubs due to right oblique tightness, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Dickerson insisted that the injury isn't anything significant, and he also noted that he'll be available off the bench Monday evening. He expects to be back in the starting nine for Tuesday's clash, but his status will certainly be worth keeping an eye on moving forward.

Dickerson sits for the second game in a row Monday against the Cubs.

Dickerson and Austin Slater had been alternating starts in the outfield corners over the last eight games, with Mike Yastrzemski starting for whichever of them was on the bench. Slater starts for the second game in a row in right field Monday, with Yastrzemski in left.

Winker is not in the lineup Monday against Milwaukee.

Winker sits despite righty Chase Anderson starting for the Brewers and despite the fact that he's gone 6-for-16 with four walks over his last four games. Phillip Ervin gets the nod in left field.
