Edwards went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Reds.

He remains one of the few bright spots in the Marlins' depleted lineup. Edwards has his safely in eight straight games, batting .469 (15-for-32) over that stretch to boost his slash line on the season to .383/.456/.470 through 137 plate appearances with a homer, 12 steals, 13 RBI and 19 runs.

Harris (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Harris is finally ready for game action after being sidelined for nearly two months with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain. The center fielder is eligible to return from the 60-day injured list Aug. 14, and the expectation is he'll be ready to join Atlanta on that date.

The Reds outrighted Yang to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Yang had already been sent back to the minors last week after a brief stint with the Reds and has now been removed from the 40-man roster. He will remain in the organization as catching depth at Louisville.

Suter (shoulder) has begun throwing, MLB.com reports.

Suter, who suffered a partial tear of his teres major muscle July 19, was expected to be shut down from throwing for up to six weeks, but he's way ahead of that schedule. It's unclear when he'll be ready for a rehab assignment.

Marte went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 10-3 win over the Marlins.

Marte swatted a two-run homer in the fourth inning to give the Reds a 6-0 lead. It was his third home run of the season and first in 10 games. Marte, who entered the game with a .168 average, batted ninth for the second time in three games and has gradually moved down the order from the fifth spot when he first returned from an 80-game suspension in late June.

Martinez walked one and struck out two over a scoreless 10th inning to pick up the save in a 7-6 extra-inning win over Cleveland.

Ryan Thompson was unable to close out the Guardians in the ninth, setting up a chance for Martinez in the extra frame. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo had used Kevin Ginkel and A.J. Puk prior to Thompson, so the manager went with Martinez, who has a 2.01 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 49.1 innings. Thompson has been shaky in three consecutive save chances, which leaves the Diamondbacks' closer situation in flux.

Thompson (6-3) picked up a blown save and the win in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Guardians. He allowed one run on one hit and struck out one over one inning.

This was Thompson's third save opportunity since Paul Sewald was removed from the closer's role last week, and it's been a mixed bag. He converted one Friday and was bailed out by A.J. Puk on Sunday before Monday's result. Justin Martinez eventually converted the save in the 10th inning. Thompson has allowed a run in all three save chances.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 5-3 victory versus the Phillies on Monday.

Hernandez gave Los Angeles a lead they didn't relinquish with his two-run blast to left field in the third inning. It was the veteran outfielder's second homer in four games and fifth in 16 contests since winning the Home Run Derby during the All-Star break. Hernandez is slashing .302/.362/.587 with 11 RBI in addition to the five long balls so far in the second half of the campaign.

Ohtani went 2-for-3 with a home run, two total RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-3 win over Philadelphia.

Ohtani tied the score with a sacrifice fly in the third inning and added a solo homer in the eighth. He also swiped a bag in the fifth frame. This was the seventh time this season that Ohtani has stolen a base and homered in the same game. He's making a serious run at the Triple Crown in the National League, leading the circuit in batting average (.309) and homers (34) while ranking second in RBI (81). He's also tied for second in the NL with 32 stolen bases.

Nola (11-5) took the loss against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing four runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out four batters over six innings.

Nola was great outside of the third frame, when he allowed four runs on five hits, including a Teoscar Hernandez two-run homer. That inning was enough to send the right-hander to his first loss since June 29, as Philadelphia's offense put up just three total runs. Nola has given up four runs twice over his past four outings and has a mediocre 4.37 ERA with only one quality start during that span.
