Pederson isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Pederson will unsurprisingly bow out of the starting nine with southpaw Blake Snell set to take the mound. Mitch Haniger is set to handle DH duties and will bat sixth as a result.

Flores (knee) isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against San Diego, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Flores was lifted from Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers due to discomfort in his right knee, and he'll be held out of the lineup Monday. The Giants have not revealed whether the utility man will be available off the bench.

Yastrzemski isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Yastrzemski will get a breather in this one with San Francisco set to face southpaw Blake Snell. Luis Matos is penciled into the lineup in left field, allowing Austin Slater to draw the start in center.

Wade isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Wade will take a seat with the Giants slated to face off against Cy Young candidate Blake Snell. J.D. Davis gets the call at first base and is set to hit fourth in Wade's absence.

McCabe will play for the Salt River Rafters this year in the Arizona Fall League.

McCabe, a 23-year-old switch-hitting third baseman Atlanta selected in the fourth round of the 2022 draft, had a strong first full season in pro ball, although he was old for the levels he played at. He posted a 145 wRC+ with Single-A Augusta and then slashed .281/.388/.428 with nine home runs and nine steals in 81 games for High-A Rome. His 30.7 percent hard-hit rate and 14.5 percent soft-hit rate on the season were strong marks, and it's encouraging that he maintained a 15.2 percent walk rate at High-A while cutting his strikeout rate from 26.7 percent to 19.0 percent.

Uelmen (undisclosed) was reinstated from Triple-A Lehigh Valley's 60-day injured list and made his final appearance of the season Sept. 19, striking out three while allowing one run on two hits and one walk over one inning.

Uelmen had been stuck on Lehigh Valley's IL since early June with the unspecified injury, but after completing a rehab assignment earlier this month, he received the green light to return to the Triple-A bullpen for the final week of the season. Though Lehigh Valley's season is over, Uelmen retains a spot on the Phillies' 40-man roster and could theoretically get called up to the big club over the final week of the season if Philadelphia has a need for an extra relief arm.

Bednar (back) is scheduled to participate for the Scottsdale Scorpions in the Arizona Fall League, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Since entering the professional ranks in 2021 as a first-round pick out of Mississippi State, Bednar has been limited to just 62.2 regular-season innings in the minors due to a slew of injuries. He made just four appearances in 2023 -- all in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League -- but hadn't pitched since late June while recovering from a stress reaction in his back. The 23-year-old right-hander will look to make up for the innings he lost during the regular season by making a handful of appearances in Arizona.

Hudson (knee) is slated to throw live batting practice during the Dodgers' upcoming road trip and could return to game action if the team advances to the NLCS, per the Associated Press.

Hudson has been out with a sprained MCL in his right knee since July 5 and has pitched in just three major-league games this season. He only recently resumed throwing to live hitters, so he still has a ways to go until he could potentially be ready for game action. The Dodgers have already wrapped up a spot in the NLDS, but Hudson won't be ready to return for that series. Should Los Angeles advance past that round, however, the veteran reliever could be added to the roster for the NLCS, which begins Oct. 16.

Atlanta reinstated Adrianza (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list and designated him for assignment Monday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

With Triple-A Gwinnett's season coming to an end Sunday, Adrianza's minor-league rehab assignment simultaneously concluded. Over an 11-game stint with Gwinnett, Adrianza batted just .152, and though he's seemingly healthy again, Atlanta didn't have room for him on its roster. Atlanta will proceed with Nicky Lopez and Luke Williams as its primary utility men for the final week of the regular season.

Mitchell (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Mitchell required surgery back in early May to repair a subluxation and labrum damage in his left shoulder. While the Brewers haven't yet confirmed he will return Tuesday, McCalvy notes that all signs point to Mitchell being activated. Mitchell batted only .188/.257/.250 with three steals in eight rehab games with Triple-A Nashville, though he did collect four hits in his final 10 at-bats. With Sal Frelick taking over in center field and Tyrone Taylor swinging a hot bat in right field, Mitchell could find playing time hard to come by down the stretch following a long layoff.
