Hill was lifted for a pinch runner in the third inning of Monday's game against the Nationals due to an apparent lower-body injury, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Hill went 0-for-1 but reached base on a throwing error during his lone plate appearance of the day. He appeared to have tweaked something while sprinting to first base, as the Marlins quickly summoned Victor Mesa from the bench to pinch run for him. Miami should have more details on Hill's injury later Monday.

The Yankees recalled Escarra from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

Escarra is back with the Yankees with the active roster expanding from 26 to 28 men. He's previously appeared in 40 games with the Yankees this season, slashing .202/.296/.333 with two home runs, one stolen base, 11 RBI and five runs across 98 plate appearances. Escarra will likely be in line for limited playing time at catcher while both Austin Wells and Ben Rice are available.

Castellanos is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Milwaukee.

Castellanos has gone hitless over his last five contests and continues to see a dip in playing time since the Phillies acquired Harrison Bader at the trade deadline, as Monday marks the sixth time that he's been out of the lineup since Aug. 1. Philadelphia will go with Brandon Marsh, Bader and Max Kepler in the outfield for the series opener.

Bohm is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Milwaukee.

Bohm put together an 11-game hitting streak upon his return from the injured list Aug. 17, but he'll get a breather Monday after going hitless in his last three contests. Edmundo Sosa will start third base and bat eighth for the Phillies.

Matos is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Matos will get a well-deserved breather for the series opener in Colorado, after he had started in all 10 of the Giants' games since his Aug. 21 call-up from Triple-A Sacramento. Drew Gilbert will get the nod in right field Monday, but Matos appears to be locked into a near-everyday role after slashing .432/.450/.811 with three home runs and two steals following his promotion.

Edwards was ejected from Monday's game versus the Nationals in the first inning for arguing balls and strikes, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Edwards' plate appearance to lead off the contest ended on a groundout to the catcher, and he evidently said some choice words to home plate umpire Brennan Miller to warrant a quick ejection from the game. Javier Sanoja took Edwards' spot at second base in the bottom of the first inning.

Burleson (wrist) was spotted playing catch on the field prior to Monday's game against the Athletics, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

St. Louis placed Burleson on the 10-day injured list Friday due to right wrist inflammation, but after getting an injection to relieve discomfort, he's already started throwing again. Burleson remains hopeful to be activated from the IL around when he's first eligible to return Sept. 8.

Crow-Armstrong is starting in center field and batting seventh in Monday's game versus Atlanta.

Atlanta is starting right-hander Spencer Strider, marking the lowest spot in the lineup Crow-Armstrong has hit against a righty since early May. The 23-year-old finished August having slashed just .160/.216/.230 with one home run and two steals.

Harris is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Harris had been seeing fairly steady playing time at third base following his call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 15, but he appears to have faded into a reserve role in the wake of fellow infielder Zack Gelof getting a promotion last Monday. With Gelof starting at second base in all seven of the Athletics' games since his call-up, Darell Hernaiz has shifted over to third base on a more frequent basis.

Langeliers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

The Athletics are playing their second afternoon game in a row, and Langeliers has now checked out of the lineup for both contests. The team hasn't indicated that Langeliers is nursing an injury, so the consecutive absences could stem from a desire to manage his workload. While serving as a catcher or designated hitter, Langeliers has started in 101 of the Athletics' first 139 games of the season.
