Weathers (finger) will be re-evaluated in 1-to-2 weeks in hopes of being cleared to begin a throwing program at that time, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Weathers has already been shut down for nearly a month with a left index finger strain and still isn't ready to throw yet. Given how much time he's missed, it's going to take him a while to get sufficiently built back up before rejoining the Marlins' rotation. A return would appear to be several weeks away.

Sanchez (shoulder) threw a 26-pitch bullpen session Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Saturday's session was Sanchez's second time throwing off a mound, and he was able to get up to 26 pitches after only tossing 18 pitches in his first bullpen. Still, Sanchez won't be eligible for return until August.

Cabrera (shoulder) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Cabrera is slated to throw 80-to-85 pitches in what will likely be his final rehab start before returning from the 60-day injured list and taking back a spot in Miami's rotation. The right-hander has posted a 4.50 ERA and 15:4 K:BB over 10 innings in his first three rehab outings. Cabrera has been out since early May with a right shoulder impingement.

Garcia is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

With the Nationals facing a left-handed pitcher for a second straight game, Garcia will yield to Ildemaro Vargas at second base once again. Garcia owns a .677 OPS with seven home runs and 11 stolen bases this season.

Winker is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Winker will dodge a matchup with southpaw Sean Manaea on Tuesday. Harold Ramirez will bat third and DH.

Lopez was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against Boston for unspecified reasons.

Lopez was initially slated to play second base and bat sixth Tuesday but was removed from the lineup for unknown reasons. Vidal Brujan will slide to second base while Emmanuel Rivera enters the lineup at third.

Arcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Arcia missed two games last week due to dizziness before returning to play the last four contests. He hasn't suffered any known setback, so this would appear to be a routine day of rest. Zack Short will fill in at shortstop.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

The lefty-hitting Fraley will take a seat Tuesday against RHP Luis Gil. Nick Martini, Stuart Fairchild and Will Benson will fill the outfield from left to right.

Laureano (back) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Giants.

Laureano hasn't played in nearly a week due to a nagging back issue. The team had expressed hope that he might be ready to go Tuesday, so it's possible it might now consider a stint on the injured list. Adam Duvall will be in right field again Tuesday.

Gray experienced elbow discomfort and felt more fatigued than normal during Sunday's rehab start at Triple-A Rochester, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports. Gray will undergo testing in the coming days.

Gray compared the discomfort to what he felt in April when he sustained the right flexor strain, a concerning sign for the 26-year-old, who was close to activation before the setback. Gray surrendered seven runs across three innings Sunday before reporting the pain. He'll continue to be evaluated over the coming days as the severity of the setback is determined.
