McCutchen (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.

The move has no effect on McCutchen's recovery timeline, as he's already been ruled out for the season following knee surgery. It clears up a spot on the 40-man roster for the Phillies to select Fernando Salas' contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Blackmon is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Dodgers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Blackmon saw his 11-game hit streak come to an end after going 0-for-5 on Saturday, so he'll take a seat for the series finale. The 32-year-old has been on fire since coming off the injured list June 8 with a .426/.443/.882 slash line, eight home runs and 18 RBI in 68 at-bats. Raimel Tapia, Garrett Hampson and David Dahl will start from left to right in the outfield Sunday.

Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a win over the Angels on Saturday.

Ozuna left the yard for the second time in as many games with a 402-foot shot to left in the sixth that doubled up a 2-0 lead for the Cardinals at the time. The slugging outfielder is enjoying his best month of the season thus far in June, as Saturday's production brought his average to .307 since the calendar flipped. Additionally, Ozuna has now reached the 20-homer threshold in four consecutive seasons, and he's just three round trippers away from matching the 23 he hit in 2018 over 317 additional plate appearances.

Harper went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two RBI and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Marlins.

Harper put the Phillies on the board with his solo shot in the third inning and also brought home another run with an RBI single in the fifth. The 26-year-old moved to the leadoff spot Thursday and is 4-for-13 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base from atop the lineup.

Ramirez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

With a .314/.343/.416 slash line (105 wRC+) since being promoted from Triple-A New Orleans in early May, Ramirez has easily established himself as a regular outfielder for a hapless Marlins squad. He'll merely be getting a maintenance day Saturday after starting in all but one game since May 19.

Reyes is not starting Saturday against the Pirates.

Reyes has a modest .634 OPS over his last 14 games. He'll sit Saturday, with Josh Naylor starting in right field.

Carpenter went 0-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs in a win over the Angels on Friday.

The veteran infielder's .218 average still leaves plenty to be desired, but his penchant for drawing free passes has consistently kept him on the basepaths nonetheless. Carpenter has a solid 14.2 percent walk rate and .332 on-base percentage for the season, but a career-high 24.5 percent strikeout rate is one of the main conspirators in his mediocre season at the plate.

Dickerson went 3-for-5 with a triple, a home run and six RBI in Friday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Called up from Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the day, Dickerson celebrated his return to the majors by setting a franchise record for RBI in a Giants debut, highlighted by a third-inning grand slam. The 29-year-old is likely to see consistent playing time in the short term while Steve Duggar (back) is on the shelf, and Dickerson's career .256/.325/.449 slash line in 317 big-league plate appearances suggests he could be useful in deeper fantasy formats.

Ozuna went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 win over the Angels.

All eyes were on Albert Pujols in his return to St. Louis, but it was Ozuna who stole the show with RBI singles in the fourth and seventh innings and a solo shot in the sixth. The 28-year-old now boasts a .306/.342/.444 slash line in June with three homers, 10 RBI, 10 runs and a surprising four steals in 19 games.

Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Dodgers.

The right fielder's sixth-inning blast was one of only three hits the Rockies managed against Dodgers starter Walker Buehler. Blackmon is wielding a hot bat with six of his 18 homers this season coming in his last eight games. He's added a .338/.384/.658 slash line with 49 RBI and 53 runs scored in 59 games overall.
