Marsee will start in center field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Astros.

Since getting called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Marsee seems to have quickly established himself as a regular in the Miami outfield. He started all three games of the Marlins' weekend series against the Yankees, going 4-for-8 with three doubles, one triple, four walks, two runs and one RBI. Marsee batted out of the No. 9 spot in his MLB debut, but he's now moved up to sixth in the order in each of his last three starts, with all coming against right-handed pitchers.

The Marlins designated Winkler for assignment Monday.

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Joey Wiemer, who was claimed off waivers. Winkler has gone 2-for-12 at the plate during a couple brief stints at the big-league level this season and stands a good chance of clearing waivers and remaining in the organization.

The Marlins activated Hill (finger) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Hill is ready to go after missing the past two weeks of action with a sprained left middle finger. With recent call-up Jakob Marsee soaking up the playing time in center field and Dane Myers shifting over to right field, Hill might find starts hard to come by.

Kepler is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Orioles.

The Phillies have platooned both Kepler and Brandon Marsh since the trade deadline. The right-handed-hitting Weston Wilson will start in left field in place of Kepler on Monday as the Orioles send lefty Cade Povich to the hill.

Marsh is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

Southpaw Cade Povich is on the hill for the Orioles, marking the second time in as many games versus lefties since the trade deadline that the lefty-swinging Marsh has been on the bench in favor of the right-handed-hitting Harrison Bader. Marsh is slashing just .200/.281/.260 against southpaws this season.

Baty is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

For the first time since the All-Star break, the left-handed-hitting Baty will hit the bench while the Mets face a right-handed starter (Slade Cecconi). Absences from the lineup against righties could begin to become the norm for Baty, who will face more competition for reps in the infield with Thursday's acquisition of center fielder Cedric Mullins expected to result in Jeff McNeil seeing the majority of his playing time at second base moving forward. With both McNeil (.774 OPS versus righties) and Ronny Mauricio (.886 OPS) outproducing Baty (.729 OPS) in those matchups this season, Baty no longer looks like the top choice to pick up starts at either the keystone or third base.

Arcia is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Blue Jays.

Arcia has received the lion's share of playing time at third base since the Rockies traded Ryan McMahon to the Yankees on July 25, but he'll get a breather Monday. Kyle Farmer will fill in at the hot corner and bat ninth for Colorado.

Moniak is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

Southpaw Eric Lauer is on the bump for the Blue Jays, and the left-handed-hitting Moniak has now been absent from the lineup three of the last four times the Rockies have faced a left-handed starter. Tyler Freeman will handle right field and Braxton Fulford will serve as the designated hitter for the Rockies in Monday's series opener.

The Mets optioned Warren to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

After starter Frankie Montas was tagged for seven earned runs in four innings in Sunday's 12-4 loss to the Giants, Warren stepped in admirably to save the New York bullpen from overuse. He struck out five over four shutout frames in relief, but because he was unlikely to be available for at least a couple of days following the 58-pitch appearance, he'll be swapped out in favor of a fresh arm. Right-hander Dom Hamel was called up from Syracuse to replace Warren in the bullpen.

The Mets selected Hamel's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

The right-hander will head to the big leagues for the first time, slotting into the Mets bullpen as a replacement for righty Austin Warren, who was optioned to Syracuse. Over 22 appearances (eight starts) at the Triple-A level this season, Hamel has produced a 4.73 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 59:15 K:BB in 53.1 frames. He'll likely function as a long reliever for the Mets and is unlikely to see much use in higher-leverage spots while he's up with the big club.
