Tucker was designated for assignment Monday, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Tucker was removed from Colorado's 40-man roster in mid-August, and after being called up a little less than a week ago, he was dropped once more. It remains to be seen if he will head to Triple-A Albuquerque again or look for work with another organization.

Bryant (finger) was activated from the injured list Monday, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

It was announced earlier in the day that Bryant was on track to return Monday, and the Rockies made the move official shortly thereafter. Bryant figures to be busy the rest of the way, but it has not been announced whether or not he will be in the lineup for Monday's matchup against his former team, the Cubs.

Carpenter has started four of the Padres' past seven games after logging just 14 plate appearances across all of August.

Carpenter's increase in playing time has followed Jake Cronenworth (wrist) going on the injured list in late August. Three of Carpenter's past four starts have come at first base, and he's gone 2-for-10 with a home run, two RBI and a 4:5 BB:K during that stretch. The veteran is slashing a meager .176/.322/.319 on the campaign, but he may continue to see opportunities down the stretch, though it's unlikely he becomes an everyday starter.

Fulmer (forearm) was activated from the injured list Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Fulmer did not encounter any issues after landing on the injured list in late August, and he will be back in Chicago's bullpen moving forward. Closer Adbert Alzolay (forearm) was placed on the injured list in the corresponding move, so roles are set to change at the back end of the bullpen. Fulmer could be in the mix for saves, but he's likely behind a fellow reliever or two.

Alzolay was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday retroactive to Sept. 10 with a right forearm strain, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Alzolay was bothered by an unspecified injury earlier this month and was not particularly sharp over his last few outings, and it turns out he is dealing with an issue that will cost him at least a couple weeks of action. The Cubs turned to Julian Merryweather for the save Sunday, so he is seemingly the favorite to work as the closer during Alzolay's absence.

Ozuna is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader with the Phillies.

Ozuna has cooled a bit since his recent power surge and went 0-for-4 in the first game of Monday's twin bill, so manager Brian Snitker decided to prevent him from playing a full nine innings in the nightcap. Ronald Acuna will serve as Atlanta's designated hitter Monday night, and Kevin Pillar will replace Acuna in right field.

Albies is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader with the Phillies.

Albies does not sit much, but with him just a couple weeks removed from a stint on the injured list, he will get a breather Monday night. Nicky Lopez will cover the keystone in place of Albies.

Bohm is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with three RBI in the first game of Monday's twin bill, but with him not having a day off since Aug. 8, manager Rob Thomson decided it was time for some rest. Edmundo Sosa will enter the lineup in Bohm's place.

Hernandez (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.

Hernandez apparently has not made much progress since landing on the 15-day injured list in early August, and Atlanta moved him to the longer of the two injured lists to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for the returning Kyle Wright.

Lee was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett following Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader with the Phillies.

Lee tossed eight pitches in the opener of Monday's twin bill, and he wound up ceding his roster spot to fellow pitcher Kyle Wright afterward. Lee has fared well with the big-league club for a couple years, so chances are he will rejoin Atlanta again before the season comes to a close.
