If Bleday remains out, he will finish 2023 with a .203/.313/.373 slash line with 10 homers and 27 RBI across 284 plate appearances. Carlos Perez (thumb) was brought back from the IL on Tuesday to fill Bleday's roster spot.

ImpactCarlson was placed on the 10-day IL this past Saturday because of an oblique strain, but his left ankle might be even more of a concern given that he sprained it three months ago and apparently hasn't fully recovered. He can probably be ruled out through at least the end of August as he rehabs both injuries.
