Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Taking seat Thursday
Edman isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Brett Wisely 2B | ATL
Braves' Brett Wisely: Claimed by Atlanta
Atlanta claimed Wisely off waivers from San Francisco on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.
Wisely lost his place on the Giants' 40-man roster following the promotion of Bryce Eldridge, but the former will reclaim a 40-man roster spot upon moving to Atlanta. He'll most likely remain in Triple-A for the remainder of the season after slashing .253/.332/.387 at Triple-A Sacramento for the Giants.

Giants' Christian Koss: Doubles in win
Koss went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.
Koss lined a two-run double to center field in the 11th inning before coming around to score San Francisco's final run. The reserve infielder has appeared in just six games this month, during which he's batting .286 with four RBI, four runs scored and two doubles in 14 plate appearances. Overall, he's slashing .258/.298/.365 with 22 RBI, 21 runs scored, three home runs and three stolen bases across 174 plate appearances in 69 outings this season.

Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Remains out of lineup
Edwards (wrist) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

Nico Hoerner 2B | CHC
Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Scores three times, swipes base
Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Pirates.
Hoerner made his three times on base count, as he scored three runs and also swiped his 28th base of the season in 34 attempts. The speedy infielder is locked in at the plate, as he's now batting a sizzling .410 across 15 games this month. That has pushed Hoerner's season-long batting average up to .303, which would be a new career best and is currently good for seventh in the majors.
