Bukauskas' injury has been reclassified as a right triceps strain, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Bukauskas was placed on the injured list Sunday with what had been referred to as a right lat strain, but further testing revealed the injury is actually to his triceps. There remains no timetable for his return, as more testing still needs to be done.

Yelich (back) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Padres.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said pregame that Yelich is "about the same" in regard to his progress from a back injury, although the club is hopeful some medication the outfielder is taking will help, per Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. A decision as to whether Yelich will be placed on the injured list will be made Tuesday. He hasn't played since Friday.

Chargois (neck) threw a one-inning, 20-pitch live batting practice session Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

He's slated for a two-inning, 35-pitch live BP session Friday. Seemingly, Chargois should be cleared for a rehab assignment after that. He's been out all season with a neck issue but is making nice progress.

Brujan (knee) is available off the bench for Monday's game against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Brujan isn't starting Monday after exiting Sunday's contest with a right knee injury, but it appears he's fine. The utility player is just 2-for-20 so far at the plate this season for Miami.

Bethancourt (illness) will not be at LoanDepot Park for Monday's game against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Bethancourt was unavailable Sunday and was told to stay home Monday as he continues to battle an illness. He's day-to-day. Nick Fortes is the only other catcher on the Marlins' active roster and he will be behind the plate Monday.

Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Monday that Garrett (shoulder) experienced a "dead arm" after his last bullpen session, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The issue isn't related to the left shoulder injury which has kept Garrett out all season, but it nonetheless could prevent the left-hander from making his season debut this week. The southpaw threw 86 pitches in his second rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville this past Friday, and his return from the 15-day injured list appeared imminent. Garrett will undergo testing on his arm just to be safe, so it's no longer a lock that he'll rejoin the rotation this week.

Bohm is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

It's a rare day off for Bohm, who has now started 15 of 17 contests for the Phillies this season. Whit Merrifield will get a start at third base while Bohm receives some rest.

Merrill went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's extra-inning win against the Dodgers to push his batting average up to .333 on the season.

Among Merrill's three hits Sunday was a sixth-inning infield single that plated the game-tying run. The rookie hit just .233 through his first 11 major-league games but has been swinging a hot bat since, going 11-for-24 (.458) over his subsequent seven contests. Merrill has knocked just one homer and notched just five RBI, but he's scored 12 runs and has a pair of steals along with an 8:11 BB:K that suggests he's handling big-league pitching just fine.

Bae (hip) was activated from the 10-day injured list by the Pirates on Sunday and optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Bae is done with his rehab from a left hip flexor injury, but the Pirates have elected to keep him at Indianapolis rather than add him to the major-league roster. He should be back to fill a utility role with the big club eventually.

Anderson (illness) will start at shortstop and bat fourth in Monday's game versus the Giants.

Anderson missed the previous two contests with an illness, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go Monday. It's the first time this season that he's been up in the cleanup spot for Miami, as Anderson has mostly hit sixth or seventh.
