Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Turang will not be in Monday's lineup against the Astros as he continues to regain strength following an illness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Turang played each of the previous four games after sitting out one contest last week because he was under the weather. He's evidently still not feeling quite 100 percent, however, so he'll get a breather for the series opener versus Houston. Turang will be available off the bench Monday and should be back in the lineup Tuesday.

Trevino is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

Trevino had started behind the plate in three of his last four games, but he'll likely move into more of a part-time role moving forward after Tyler Stephenson returned from the injured list Friday. The Reds will have the luxury of using Stephenson at designated hitter on occasions while all of Austin Hays (hamstring), Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back) and Jeimer Candelario (back) are on the shelf, so at least in the short term, Trevino should still play more frequently than most No. 2 catchers.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Monday that the MRI results on Frelick's left knee were encouraging and the injury "should settle down in a day or two," Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Frelick had to depart Sunday's game against the Cubs after tweaking the knee and will miss one start, at minimum. However, it appears for now that he will avoid a stint on the 10-day injured list.

Winn was encouraged by how his sprained left ankle felt Monday and is hoping to return to the Cardinals lineup Tuesday against the Pirates, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Winn is absent from Monday's starting nine after spraining his ankle in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Mets, but he expects to be available off the bench as a potential defensive replacement and aims to be fully cleared Tuesday. Jose Barrero will draw the start at shortstop for St. Louis on Monday.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that Hays (hamstring) is progressing well and could be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Hays has been shelved for the past week with a left hamstring strain, but he seems to be trending toward skipping a rehab assignment and returning later this week. The 29-year-old has been limited to only 13 games this season due to injury but has slashed .365/.431/.712 with five homers in those contests.

Myers will start in center field and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Dodgers.

Even with Jesus Sanchez (back) making his return to the lineup following a three-game absence, Myers will stick in center field for the fourth game in a row, while Sanchez covers right field. Though he's served mainly as a short-side platoon player during his time in the big leagues, Myers looks like he'll get at least semi-regular starts against right-handed pitching with Derek Hill (wrist) still on the injured list and with Griffin Conine (shoulder) going down with a season-ending injury. Myers has thus far gotten the job done against righties, slashing .286/.342/.457 over 38 plate appearances versus same-handed pitching.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said that Strider (hamstring) advanced to long-toss throwing Sunday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The activity marks a small step forward for Strider, who had been limited to playing catch from shorter distances since straining his right hamstring Monday. Snitker noted, however, that Strider hasn't yet been cleared for mound work, so the right-hander is most likely at least a couple weeks away from coming off the 15-day injured list. AJ Smith-Shawver should continue to maintain a spot in Atlanta's rotation until Strider is ready for activation.

Hill (wrist) has been going through full baseball activities, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Hill has been sidelined for the last two-plus weeks with a left wrist sprain but appears to have made significant progress. It seems likely that he will need some rehab games before returning, and he should be ready for game action soon.

Berti is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Nicky Lopez will get the start at the hot corner and will bat ninth while Berti heads to the bench for the series opener. Berti has been serving as the Cubs' primary starter at third base since mid-April, but he's viewed as more of a stopgap solution and is expected to eventually transition into more of a utility role once prospect Matt Shaw is deemed ready to return from Triple-A Iowa.

The Cubs recalled Hollowell from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Chicago placed ace Shota Imanaga (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move, but Hollowell won't be a candidate to replace him in the rotation and will instead slot into a low-leverage role in the bullpen. Hollowell made one relief appearance for Chicago earlier this season, tossing two scoreless frames April 22 against the Dodgers.
