Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (lat) is scheduled to come off the 60-day injured list and start on Thursday against the division-rival Washington Nationals, according to MLB.com's Christina De Nicola. Weathers has been cleared to rejoin the club's big-league starting rotation after making several minor-league rehab starts and getting through a live bullpen session on Monday. The 25-year-old southpaw only made it up to 68 pitches in his final rehab start and has been on the shelf since June 9 with a strained left lat, so fantasy managers should be tempering expectations for Weathers' first start back despite the juicy matchup against the Nats. The former first-rounder of the San Diego Padres has only made five starts in 2025, but he did have 80 K's with a 3.63 ERA in 16 starts over 86 2/3 innings in his first year in Miami in 2024.

The St. Louis Cardinals announced on Monday that they activated first baseman/outfielder Alec Burleson (wrist) from the 10-day injured list and designated infielder/outfielder Garrett Hampon for assignment in a corresponding move. The Cardinals have yet to release their starting lineup for Monday's series opener in Seattle against the Mariners, but Burleson should be in it. Burleson is back in 10 days after recovering from right-wrist inflammation and should return to a regular role all over the diamond for the Red Birds in the final month of the regular season. The 26-year-old left-handed hitter has been one of the more consistent bats for the Cards this year, and he'll be returning to a .286/.337/.451 slash line with a .788 OPS, 16 home runs, 60 RBI, 47 runs and five steals in 122 games. Burleson is six homers from setting a new career high.

The Chicago Cubs placed right-handed reliever Daniel Palencia (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Monday with a right-shoulder strain and recalled pitcher Ethan Roberts from the minors in a corresponding move, according to Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times. Palencia didn't retire any of the five batters he faced in Sunday's series finale against the Washington Nationals and took his third blown save of the season before the team announced he had shoulder tightness. There's a good chance that the hard-throwing 25-year-old closer won't be able to rejoin Chicago's bullpen before the end of the regular season, although the Cubs will surely be hoping he can return for the postseason in October. With Palencia on the shelf for at least two weeks, fantasy managers should look for right-hander Brad Keller to take over closing duties on the North Side.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong (knee) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the hosting Atlanta Braves, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup against right-hander Bryce Elder. Willi Castro is in center field and will hit sixth. Crow-Armstrong fouled a ball off his right knee in Saturday's loss to the Washington Nationals at Wrigley Field and sat out of Sunday's series finale as a result. The 23-year-old All-Star is back in the lineup to begin the week, though, and will look to stay hot at the plate after going 4-for-9 with a double, two RBI, a steal and three runs scored in four games to start September. Barring a setback with his knee, PCA should return to defensive work in center field for the Cubbies sooner than later. Fantasy managers will want to get Crow-Armstrong back in their lineups.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker (calf) remains absent from the starting lineup for Monday's series opener in Atlanta against the Braves at Truist Park. Seiya Suzuki will man right field and bat third against Braves right-hander Bryce Elder. Tucker is missing his fifth straight start due to tightness in his left calf. Manager Craig Counsell said that Tucker looked to be improving on Sunday, but the Cubs arent't ruling out a stint on the injured list if he cannot return to action soon. The good news for the Cubs is they are getting outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong back after he fouled a ball off his knee on Saturday against the Washington Nationals. The 28-year-old Tucker was in a slump in the midst of August but was swinging the bat well once again just before he injured his calf. If he's forced to the IL, there's a chance we won't see Tucker again until the postseason in October.

The Atlanta Braves announced on Monday that they placed catcher Sean Murphy (hip) on the 10-day injured list with a right-hip labral tear and selected the contract of catcher Sandy Leon from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresonding move. The injury will sideline Murphy for the rest of the regular season, and Leon will take over backup duties behind impressive rookie Drake Baldwin. The 30-year-old Murphy is expected to undergo surgery on his hip that will keep him sidelined for roughly four months this offseason. It's an injury that Murphy had been dealing with sporadically for the last three years, so he has decided to get it taken care with Atlanta's playoff hopes out the window. The former All-Star has now hit under .200 in back-to-back seasons, although he now has 47 home runs and 138 RBI in his three seasons with Atlanta.

The Philadelphia Phillies are placing shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a hamstring strain, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. The New York Post's Jon Heyman is reporting that the Phillies "seem hopeful" that Turner might be back for the playoffs, and even potentially right before. With the 32-year-old going on the shelf after getting hurt in Sunday's loss to the Miami Marlins, first baseman Bryce Harper will lead off for the Phils in Monday's series opener against the division-rival New York Mets. With Turner unlikely to play again in the 2025 regular season, fantasy managers in single-year leagues can now drop him for a replacement. Edmundo Sosa is starting at the 6 in Turner's place on Monday and should see the majority of starts at the position with Turner out for the remainder of September.UPDATE: Turner was diagnosed with a Grade 1, according to manager Rob Thomson. It's less severe than the Grade 2 strain he dealt with in 2024.

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm (shoulder) is being placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday due to a cyst in his right shoulder, according to The Athletic's Matt Gelb. In a corresponding move, infielder Otto Kemp was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley, and he's playing third and batting ninth in Monday's series opener against the division-rival New York Mets. The Phils also put shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) on the IL, so they are losing the whole left side of their infield right before a crucial divisional series at Citizens Bank Park. Bohm will have an injection in his shoulder and may not be able to return to the Phillies until the playoffs in October. With Edmundo Sosa taking over at short, Kemp should be the team's everyday third baseman for the Phils moving forward. Kemp has hit .228 with four homers and 17 RBI this year in his first 46 MLB games.

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (back) will miss his third straight game in Monday's series opener against the division-rival Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field. Maikel Garcia will make another start at shortstop for the Royals and will hit second against Guardians right-hander Slade Cecconi. Witt is managing lower-back spasms and is considered day-to-day, so fantasy managers will need to keep him benched and check back on Tuesday to see if he's able to return. An injured list stint can't be ruled out for the 25-year-old, though, if he's unable to get back into the lineup sometime soon. That would be a major blow to KC's chances of earning a wild-card spot in the American League, as Witt has been excellent again in 2025 with a .294/.352/.503 slash line, .855 OPS, 21 home runs, 77 RBI, 90 runs and 34 steals in his 545 at-bats.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (oblique) has returned to Miami to be re-evaluated on Monday after he was unable to play for Triple-A Jacksonville on his minor-league rehab assignment the last two days, according to Isaac Izaout of Fish On First. Stowers started his rehab assignment with the Jumbo Shrimp on Friday night but was held out on Saturday and Sunday due to fatigue after going 0-for-3 as the designated hitter. The 27-year-old breakout star has been on the 10-day injured list since the middle of August, and it's unclear if he's had a setback with his strained oblique or if he's dealing with another issue, but his availability for the remainder of the 2025 season is now firmly in question. For the time being, Joey Wiemer should continue to see most of the playing time in right field in Miami, with Victor Mesa Jr. also being an option for more starts in the outfield.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong (knee) gave a thumbs up in the clubhouse at Wrigley Field, a sign that he's not too worried about a right-knee injury that he suffered in Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals, according to Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. However, the Cubs are playing it safe with their All-Star center fielder and could keep him out a second straight game in Monday's series opener at the Atlanta Braves. The 23-year-old fouled a ball off his kneecap on Saturday and had to leave early. "PCA came in actually feeling pretty good," manager Craig Counsell said before Sunday's loss. "He's still a little sore today, but we're going to get him moving around today, which is a good sign. We'll see how that feels." While Crow-Armstrong might sit on Monday, he doesn't appear to be in danger of going on the injured list.

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Jesus Made was promoted to Double-A Biloxi on Monday after a highly successful 2025 campaign that began at Single-A and saw him move to High-A in early August. The Brewers' top-ranked prospect (MLB No.5) played well at Single-A, including 40 steals in 83 games, but flourished at High-A, where he slashed .343/.415/.500 with a .426 wOBA and 157 wRC+ across 27 games there. The 18-year-old will be one of only two players that young at Double-A, with the other being the Athletics' top prospect (MLB No. 3) Leodalis De Vries. The 6-foot-1 Dominican possesses plus hit, power, and run tools, giving him the profile of a future multi-category fantasy producer, and he should be stashed away in dynasty leagues.

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Scott Lauber reports that Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner (hamstring) is headed for an MRI exam on his right hamstring on Monday after he left in the seventh inning of Sunday's loss to the Miami Marlins with a hamstring strain. Either way, Turner probably will not play in Monday's series opener against the division-rival New York Mets, and fantasy managers should be well prepared for the 32-year-old veteran to land on the injured list. If Turner needs to go on the IL, there's a chance we may not see him again until the playoffs in October, which would obviously be terrible news for fantasy managers still playing for a title. If Turner must miss extended time, Edmundo Sosa is the top candidate to take over everyday duties at the 6 in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop prospect Aidan Miller is headed to Triple-A Lehigh Valley following a productive campaign at Double-A this year. The Phils' second-ranked prospect started off slow, hitting just .217 through his first 77 games, although he still managed to hit eight home runs, draw walks at a 14.2 percent rate, and steal 37 bases during that time. However, in the last 31 games, he's hit .361 with five home runs, logged a 25:25 BB:K, and stolen 15 additional bases. In all, the 21-year-old finishes his Double-A season with a .259/.382/.427 slash line with 13 home runs and 52 steals in 108 games. The former first-round draft pick could be in line for a late-season call-up in 2026, and the 6-foot-1 slugger should already be stashed away in dynasty formats.

San Diego Padres right-hander Michael King (knee) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list and start on Tuesday versus the visiting Cincinnati Reds at Petco Park, according to Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune. It would give King four starts before a potential postseason appearance for the Friars, which the Padres think is sufficient ramp-up for King to give them what they need in October. While King will be extra risky in starting fantasy lineups on Tuesday in his first start back, he'll also be lined up for a two-start week with a second appearance coming against the last-place Colorado Rockies on Sunday at home. The 30-year-old has made just one start since late May after also missing extended time with a right-shoulder injury. King was SD's best pitcher to close out last year, but he'll be a wild card upon his return given his injury-plagued 2025 campaign.

Cleveland Guardians left-hander John Means (elbow) didn't fare too well in his fifth minor-league rehab start on Sunday with Triple-A Columbus, giving up five earned runs on six hits while waking two and striking out three in 4 1/3 innings of work. He threw 46 of his 72 pitches for strikes in the outing. Means had his fifth rehab start pushed back from Friday to Sunday because of an illness, and perhaps he still wasn't feeling all that great. The good news is that the 32-year-old southpaw was extended out to 72 pitches. However, it's expected that he'll need at least one more rehab start before the Guardians consider activating him for what will be his 2025 debut in the big leagues. Given the time of year, fantasy managers will not be able to consider Means a realistic option when he makes his debut with Cleveland, and he won't even be guaranteed a starting role.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has not been confirmed for Monday's lineup against the Atlanta Braves, as manager Craig Counsell will reevaluate his status tomorrow before the game. Crow-Armstrong is day-to-day with a right knee contusion after fouling a ball off his kneecap on Saturday. The 23-year-old started the season hot but has cooled off in recent weeks, slashing .160/.216/.230 in August. A short break could benefit the young outfielder, giving him a chance to reset and rediscover his swing as the Cubs aim for a deep October run.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell exited Sunday's game after reportedly feeling nauseous, according to manager Ray Montgomery. He was replaced by Matthew Lugo in the top of the ninth inning and finished 1-for-4 with a strikeout and a two-run home run in the first inning, his 35th of the season. Adell is likely day-to-day as the Angels monitor his availability for Monday's game. The 25-year-old is slashing .243/.303/.507 with an .810 OPS and has clearly unlocked his power stroke, making this his most productive season as a big leaguer.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker is unlikely to be in Monday's lineup against the Atlanta Braves as he continues to recover from a calf injury, according to manager Craig Counsell. Tucker last played on September 2 and has been sidelined since, though he is reportedly ramping up his pregame work. He remains day-to-day, but the Cubs hope to have him back soon as they push for a playoff spot in the National League. The 28-year-old is slashing .270/.381/.472 with 22 home runs in his first season with Chicago, showing his trademark consistency.
