Cabrera was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets with a left hamstring/adductor strain, Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Cabrera was hurt while extending to catch a throw to first base at the end of the fifth inning and appeared to be grabbing at his left thigh. He wasn't able to make it off the field by himself and had to leave the game in a cart. The Cubs will presumably send the right-hander in for imaging to determine the severity of his injury, and an update on his status could come after the game.

Soto was removed from Tuesday's contest against the Cubs in the fifth inning due to left side back tightness.

Soto was spotted wearing a heating pad on his back earlier in the game, and the Mets ultimately decided to take him out of the game after the fourth inning. The 27-year-old went 0-for-2 in his two at-bats, and more information on his status will likely be provided in the near future. In the meantime, Jared Young has shifted to left field while Mark Vientos has now entered the lineup at first base.

Lodolo suffered a left wrist contusion and exited Tuesday's contest against the Brewers in the fifth inning, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Lodolo was struck in the left wrist by a 107 mph line drive off the back of Jackson Chourio to open the top of the fourth inning. He was able to finish the frame, but he was ultimately forced to exit the contest before the fifth inning. Lodolo tossed four scoreless frames, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out six batters before his early departure. An update on the southpaw's status moving forward will likely be provided following the conclusion of Tuesday's contest.

Hunt was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Hunt will head back to El Paso after Freddy Fermin was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday. Hunt appeared in only two games following his call-up, going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts, and he'll now wait for his next chance to join the big-league club.

Fermin (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Fermin will return to action after missing a little over a week while recovering from a concussion. His not in the starting lineup against Atlanta, but he'll be available off the bench. Blake Hunt was optioned to Triple-A El Paso to make room for Fermin on the major-league roster.

Winn (elbow) began a throwing program Monday, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.

Monday marked Winn's first time doing any sort of throwing since he landed on the injured list June 14 with a strained right elbow. He'll presumably have to get through several bullpen sessions and rounds of live BP before the Giants begin to think about activating him, but he doesn't appear to be in line for an extended stay on the IL.

Schwarber was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against Washington due to lower-back tightness, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Schwarber's back will keep him on the bench to begin Tuesday's contest, and it remains unknown whether he'll have to miss additional games as well. Edmundo Sosa will fill in as the Phillies' designated hitter and bat eighth.

Abrams was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies due to left side tightness.

The severity of Abrams' injury remains unknown, though it will prevent him from getting a chance to extend his six-game hitting streak Tuesday. Nasim Nunez will move over to shortstop with Abrams out, opening up second base for Jorbit Vivas.

Canning is expected to work as the bulk reliever behind opener Wandy Peralta against Atlanta on Tuesday, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.

The right-hander followed an opener in his previous appearance last week and delivered one of his better outings of the season, allowing one run across 4.1 frames to pick up his first victory. Despite that improved form, Canning's 6.64 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 41:25 K:BB across 42 innings for the season make him a volatile streaming option while going up against a strong offense.

Burleson will start at first base and bat seventh Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Burleson was originally in line to receive a day off Tuesday with left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound for Arizona, but Masyn Winn's thumb injury will put Burleson back in the starting nine. The 27-year-old owns a career-best .847 OPS on the season through 330 plate appearances, though that number plummets to just .463 when he's matched up against a southpaw.
