ImpactHe's slated for a two-inning, 35-pitch live BP session Friday. Seemingly, Chargois should be cleared for a rehab assignment after that. He's been out all season with a neck issue but is making nice progress.

Vidal Bruján - Available off benchBrujan (knee) is available off the bench for Monday's game against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
ImpactBrujan isn't starting Monday after exiting Sunday's contest with a right knee injury, but it appears he's fine. The utility player is just 2-for-20 so far at the plate this season for Miami.

Christian Bethancourt - Stays homeBethancourt (illness) will not be at LoanDepot Park for Monday's game against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
ImpactBethancourt was unavailable Sunday and was told to stay home Monday as he continues to battle an illness. He's day-to-day. Nick Fortes is the only other catcher on the Marlins' active roster and he will be behind the plate Monday.

Braxton Garrett - Going through dead arm phaseMarlins manager Skip Schumaker said Monday that Garrett (shoulder) experienced a "dead arm" after his last bullpen session, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
ImpactIt is not related to the left shoulder injury which has kept Garrett out all season, but it nonetheless could prevent the left-hander from making his season debut this week. The southpaw threw 86 pitches in his last rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville and his return to the Marlins' rotation appeared imminent. Garrett will undergo testing on his arm just to be safe.

Otto Lopez - Recalled from Triple-ALopez was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
ImpactLopez earned a promotion after 15-for-26 with two home runs at Jacksonville. He's starting at third base Monday against the Giants but should ultimately settle into a utility role.

Jake Burger - Heads to IL with intercostal strainBurger was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Marlins on Monday with a left intercostal strain, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
ImpactThe injury had previously been described as an oblique issue, although this new designation doesn't necessarily alter Burger's potential timetable. He suffered the injury on Sunday against Atlanta. Otto Lopez is getting the start at third base Monday, but Emmanuel Rivera should see the lion's share of playing time at the hot corner while Burger is out.
