Davis went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia.

Davis tied the game in the top of the eighth with a 379-foot solo shot off Craig Kimbrel. The former No. 1 pick may have rediscovered his rhythm after initially struggling following his Sept. 16 return from an injured-list stint due to a hand strain. Tuesday, Davis extended his active hit streak to five games while also popping an extra-base hit for the third straight game. The rookie is slashing .219/.304/.367 in 237 plate appearances over 58 games.

Bellinger went 3-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.

All three hits were singles, but Bellinger will take it after going hitless in his previous three games. He's still batting a robust .309 this season, though that's dipped a little bit in September, albeit to a still-solid .280. The Cubs will need Bellinger to produce over the final few games if they want to advance to the playoffs.

Davis was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres with an apparent shoulder injury, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Davis made an awkward slide into third base during the first inning of Tuesday's contest and seemingly injured his shoulder in the process. Luis Matos entered the game to replace Davis as Tyler Fitzgerald shifted to third base.

Harrison was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday against the Padres due to illness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

John Brebbia will start on the mound in Harrison's place with Alex Wood in line for bulk innings. Harrison has given up 11 runs (eight earned) over 14.1 innings across his last three starts, and it remains unclear whether or not he'll be able to make another start before the end of the season.

The Giants recalled Bart from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

After losing Jakob Junis (neck) for the year, the Giants will opt to bolster their bench depth and add Bart as their third catcher on the active roster. The 26-year-old backstop went 0-for-9 during his most recent stint in the majors and doesn't figure to see regular playing time during the final week of the season.

The Giants placed Junis on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a cervical strain, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Junis was taken out of his appearance Saturday against the Dodgers after reporting neck tightness, and he will now be held out for the final week of the season. The 31-year-old righty logged a 3.87 ERA and 1.29 WHIP through 86 innings while posting a 96:21 K:BB. Joey Bart was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to fill Junis' roster spot.

Garrett won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Mets after the game was postponed due to poor field conditions.

The playing surface at Citi Field was unable to recover from a weekend of rain, so the Mets and Marlins will be forced to play a doubleheader Wednesday. Garrett holds a dominant 0.57 ERA since the start of September and will presumably start one of Wednesday's games.

Lucchesi won't start as scheduled Tuesday because the game was postponed due to unplayable field conditions.

The Mets and Marlins will play a doubleheader Wednesday, and Lucchesi figures to start one of the two games. The 30-year-old lefty has given up four runs (two earned) over 12.2 innings across his two starts in September.

The Marlins reinstated Brazoban (hamstring/hip) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Brazoban has been on the injured list since Aug. 14 due to a strained left hamstring and also was battling a left hip impingement. He gave up three runs over 2.2 innings during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville and will serve as a bullpen depth piece as Miami fights for a playoff spot. Tanner Scott was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move.

The Marlins placed Scott on the paternity list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The Marlins will be without their primary closer for up to three days as Scott spends time with his expanding family. Huascar Brazoban (hamstring) was reinstated from the injured list to take Scott's roster spot.
