The Reds placed Gibaut on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right shoulder impingement.

The same injury cost Gibaut nearly a month of action earlier this season. A timeline for Gibaut's return from the IL this time around isn't yet clear, but he'll be eligible for activation immediately after the All-Star break.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

The left-handed-hitting Frazier had batted out of the leadoff spot in both of the Pirates' previous two matchups with righties, but he'll be left out of the lineup entirely Monday while St. Louis sends right-hander Erick Fedde to the hill. Tommy Pham will take over Frazier's spot in left field, while Spencer Horwitz tops the batting order for Pittsburgh.

Kemp is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Since being called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on June 7, Kemp had started in all but one of the Phillies' ensuing 20 games, but he'll likely find himself on the bench against right-handed pitching more frequently after Philadelphia reinstated Bryce Harper (wrist) from the injured list Monday. The right-handed-hitting Kemp should continue to see regular playing time against left-handed pitching, likely occupying the short side of a platoon in left field with the left-handed-hitting Max Kepler.

The Padres activated Gillaspie (oblique) from the 15-day injured list and designated him for assignment Monday.

Gillaspie is over the left oblique strain that sent him to the IL over two months ago, but the Padres decided they don't have room for him on their active roster. The 28-year-old has a career 4.63 ERA and underwhelming 29:12 K:BB in 44.2 innings covering parts of four major-league seasons, so he stands a good chance of clearing waivers.

The Phillies designated Buddy Kennedy for assignment Monday.

The transaction clears a spot on the active roster for Bryce Harper's (wrist) return from the 10-day injured list. Kennedy went hitless in seven at-bats for the Phillies and hadn't started a game in nearly a week.

The Phillies activated Harper (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He will start at first base and bat third in the Phillies' series opener versus the Padres.

Harper will return to the Philadelphia lineup after missing the last three-plus weeks with right wrist inflammation. The 32-year-old did not go out on a rehab assignment, but the Phillies were convinced of Harper's readiness by how he looked against live pitching over the weekend.

Arenado (finger) will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Pirates.

After jamming his right index finger early in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Guardians, Arenado initially stayed in the game before he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. The Cardinals described Arenado's early exit as precautionary, and his inclusion in the lineup a day later seemingly supports that notion. While the veteran third baseman is on pace for a second straight season with a sub-.400 slugging percentage, he's at least gotten his batting average back on track in June, hitting .283 through his first 26 games of the month.

The Padres optioned Reynolds to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Reynolds' latest stint in the majors lasted only a few days, and he struck out the side in his lone relief appearance in Friday's 8-1 loss to the Reds. He's being sent out to make room on the active roster for Matt Waldron, who was called up from El Paso to start Monday's game versus the Phillies.

The Padres recalled Waldron from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Waldron will start Monday's game in Philadelphia and could be needed for multiple turns in the rotation as the Padres navigate through injuries to their other starting pitchers. The knuckleballer has missed time himself in 2025 with an oblique strain, and in five starts with El Paso, he turned in a 5.24 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB in 22.1 innings.

The Rockies will promote Condon from High-A Spokane to Double-A Hartford on Tuesday, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.

The No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Condon got off to a delayed start to the 2025 season after fracturing his wrist in spring training, but he's quickly found his hitting stroke upon reporting to Spokane on May 20. Over his 167 plate appearances in the Northwest League, Condon slashed .312/.431/.420 with three home runs while striking out at a manageable 21 percent clip. The 22-year-old -- who was named to the 2025 All-Star Futures Game roster Monday -- saw acton at three different positions with Spokane, making 23 starts at first base, eight in left field and two at third base. He'll likely continue to get exposure to both the corner infield and corner outfield as he moves on to Hartford.
