Atlanta activated Kim (finger) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Kim is ready for his season debut after working his way back from January surgery to repair a torn tendon in his right middle finger. The 30-year-old infielder hit .286/.412/.321 with zero home runs, one stolen base and a 6:4 BB:K over nine rehab contests between Double-A Columbus and Triple-A Gwinnett. Kim is set to take over as Atlanta's primary shortstop. Jorge Mateo had been seeking most of the reps at shortstop lately, as Mauricio Dubon has been needed more in the outfield with Ronald Acuna (hamstring). Mateo will now revert back to a reserve role, and Dubon will be a super utility player once Acuna is back in the fold.

Kim (finger) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.

Kim has completed his rehab assignment as he works his way back from surgery to repair a torn tendon in his right middle finger. The 30-year-old slashed .286/.412/.321 with no home runs, one stolen base and a 6:4 BB:K over nine rehab contests between Double-A Columbus and Triple-A Gwinnett. Kim will take over as Atlanta's primary shortstop.

Marte went 1-for-3 with a triple, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's victory over the Mets.

Marte extended his team's lead in the sixth inning with a two-RBI triple, his second three-bagger of the season. He has now recorded extra-base hits in consecutive games after doubling in Saturday's win, though it has still been a lackluster start to 2026 for the star second baseman. Through 37 games, the 32-year-old is hitting .212/.268/.370 with five homers, 15 RBI and 19 runs scored.

Julien is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

With southpaw Cristopher Sanchez on the bump for Philadelphia, the Rockies will stock up on some extra right-handed bats while Julien joins fellow left-handed hitters TJ Rumfield, Troy Johnston and Brett Sullivan on the bench. Tyler Freeman will receive the nod at second base in place of Julien.

Norby is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Norby will rest Sunday following a stretch of five consecutive starts in which he went 3-for-14 with one double, three walks, two stolen bases, four runs and one RBI. Though he's seen all but one of his 35 starts at either first base or designated hitter, Norby could end up receiving more run at third base after Miami demoted Graham Pauley to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

Marte returned to the lineup Saturday after sitting out one game due to an illness. His eighth-inning double snapped an 0-for-11 slide, but the second baseman continues to fight a recent slump, having gone 3-for-30 (.100) over the last eight games.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, a walk, four RBI and two runs scored Saturday against the Giants.

Lowe contributed to a six-run rally for the Pirates in the seventh inning with a two-RBI triple, and he followed that up with a run-scoring double two frames later. He has multiple hits in each of his last three starts and has six RBI, five runs scored and one home run in that span. Lowe remains a key bat in the Pirates' lineup, hitting .269 with 27 RBI and 24 runs scored across 34 games to begin the season.

Gonzales went 4-for-6 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 13-3 win over the Giants.

Gonzales' bat had been cooling off earlier in the week, as he entered Saturday on an 0-for-11 skid. He bounced back with his first four-hit game of the season, which was his third multi-hit effort of May. The infielder has made consistent contact eary this year, batting .323 with a .758 OPS, 17 RBI, 16 runs scored, three stolen bases and six doubles across 36 contests. He has yet to hit a home run, though he's never been a major power threat with no more than seven long balls in a big-league season. Gonzales has earned a near full-time role this season, playing at third base against right-handed pitchers and at second against southpaws.

Norby went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Nationals.

Norby was a spark plug Saturday, notching his second two-steal effort of the campaign and scoring both times he reached base. For the season, the 25-year-old is slashing .233/.343/.379 with three homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and four steals across 137 plate appearances while primarily splitting time between first base and designated hitter.

Marte (illness) will start at second base and bat leadoff against the Mets on Saturday.

Marte was a late scratch from Friday's lineup due to an illness, but he appears to be feeling well enough to play Saturday. The 32-year-old second baseman has been caught in a bit of a slump recently, going just 2-for-26 (.077) with two RBI and two runs scored over his last eight games.
