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.

Clarke (hamstring) has started to play catch and has also begun a swinging progression, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Clarke originally landed on the injured list in April due to a bone bruise in his foot, but he strained his left hamstring while playing in a rehab game in late May. He's still expected to remain sidelined through the All-Star break, though his return to activity is an encouraging sign of progress in his recovery. That said, Henry Bolte has filled in admirably as Clarke's replacement in center field, so the latter may not have much of an impact on the big club once he's activated.

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.

Meckler isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Taylor Blake Ward of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

After going 3-for-14 with six strikeouts across his last four starts, Meckler will retreat to the bench Tuesday while Christian Moore starts in left field, batting seventh.

Guzman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Baltimore, Taylor Blake Ward of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Guzman will take a seat Tuesday after going 0-for-3 with a walk during Monday's series opener. Vaughn Grissom will cover third base and bat second while Guzman rests.

Walton isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Taylor Blake Ward of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Walton has gone 13-for-27 with three homers, 10 RBI and four runs scored across his last seven starts, but the Angels will keep him on the bench to begin Tuesday's game. Oswald Peraza will start at second base and bat sixth.

Butler is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

The left-handed bat of Butler is taking a seat while the Giants send southpaw Robbie Ray to the mound to begin Tuesday's game. Colby Thomas is starting in right field and batting eighth.

Cortes is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

The Giants have lefty Robbie Ray starting Tuesday, so left-handed hitting Cortes is taking a seat. Colby Thomas is getting the start in right field and batting eighth. Additionally, Joey Meneses has the start as the designated hitter and is batting sixth.

McNeil is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

The Giants are sending southpaw Robbie Ray to the mound to start Tuesday, so the left-handed hitting McNeil will start the game on the bench. Zack Gelof is starting at second base and batting leadoff.

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.
