Adames went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals.

Adames failed to record a hit but reached base on two free passes and stole second in the fourth inning. The shortstop has struggled following a hot end to August, going hitless in three of his last five outings. Overall, he's slashing .228/.317/.425 with 86 runs scored, 78 RBI, 27 long balls and nine stolen bases across 603 plate appearances in 143 games this season.

Devers went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals.

Devers lined an RBI single to center field in the sixth inning before coming around to score the team's final run. The 28-year-old has safely reached base in 12 consecutive games, batting .375 with six home runs and a 7:13 BB:K across 55 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .263/.380/.492 with 100 RBI, 87 runs scored, 31 long balls and one stolen base in 645 plate appearances over 144 games between San Francisco and Boston.

King is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Reds at Petco Park, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

He would also be lined up for a second start this week Sunday at home versus the Rockies. King has made only one start for the Padres since late May, having missed most of that time due to a shoulder issue and more recently a knee injury. The Padres are aiming for him to make four starts before the end of this month as he gets ramped up for the postseason. King made an unofficial five-inning start at the Padres' spring training complex in Arizona this past Thursday, so he could be capable of covering at least five frames versus the Reds.

Turner is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his right hamstring in Philadelphia on Monday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The MRI will shed more light on the grade of the hamstring strain that Turner sustained in the seventh inning of Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Marlins. Even if Turner receives a positive prognosis following the MRI and avoids a stint on the injured list, he's still likely to be held out of the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Mets. Edmundo Sosa started at shortstop when Turner sat out for rest purposes in Saturday's 4-2 win over Miami, so Sosa will presumably be the top choice to replace Turner in the lineup Monday.

Atlanta designated Brebbia for assignment Monday.

He'll give up his spot on the 40-man roster and 28-man active roster to right-hander Alexis Diaz, whom Atlanta claimed off waivers from the Dodgers. After being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Aug. 29, Brebbia appeared in three games out of the Atlanta bullpen and surrendered five runs (four earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out six batters over 4.2 innings.

Atlanta optioned Munoz to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Munoz pitched each of the previous two days and was lit up for five runs over 1.1 frames in Sunday's loss to the Mariners. He will be replaced by a fresh bullpen arm in right-hander Connor Seabold, who was recalled from Gwinnett.

Atlanta recalled Seabold from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

Seabold was claimed off waivers from the Rays in August and made one appearance for Atlanta, allowing two runs over 1.1 innings back on Aug. 19. He'll be back with the big club and will provide manager Brian Snitker with a fresh bullpen arm who's capable of covering multiple innings.

King (back) will throw a live batting practice session Monday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

King will face fellow rehabbers Nolan Arenado (shoulder) and Brendan Donovan (groin), among others. The lefty reliever hasn't made an appearance in the majors since late July, first because of an oblique strain and later due to a mid-back strain. King will likely require at least one rehab appearance before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

Arenado (shoulder) will take live batting practice Monday and Tuesday and, if that goes well, will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield on Wednesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

If all goes according to plan, Arenado will play a few rehab games with Springfield before being activated from the 10-day injured list for the start of the Cardinals' final homestand Sept. 15. The veteran third baseman has been sidelined since late July with a right shoulder strain.

Donovan (groin) will take live batting practice Monday and, if that goes well, will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The 28-year-old has been sidelined since mid-August with a left groin strain but is almost game-ready. The Cardinals begin their final homestand Sept. 15, and it's likely that's when they're targeting Donovan's return from the 10-day injured list.
