Turang went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

This was Turang's second three-hit effort in a row and his third such performance during a seven-game hitting streak. He also reached 20 doubles on the season with a pair of two-baggers in this contest. For the year, the second baseman is batting .269 with an .824 OPS, 12 home runs, 51 RBI, 62 runs scored and 13 stolen bases over 83 games.

Arroyo is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Orioles on Saturday.

Arroyo will be on the bench for the beginning of Saturday's game while Matt McLain starts at second base and bats ninth. Arroyo has gone 1-for-13 with four strikeouts over his last four games and is slashing .244/.294/.282 with four RBI and three doubles over 86 plate appearances this season.

Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Mets.

The second baseman took Christian Scott deep in the third inning, one of four Atlanta homers on the night. Albies is up to 14 homers on the season in just 86 games, two shy of what he produced over 157 contests in 2025, and his .767 OPS would be his best mark since 2023.

Turang went 3-for-6 with two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-4 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

Turang provided the Brewers' last runs in the game. He's on a six-game hitting streak, going 10-for-28 (.357) in that span. The second baseman is up to a .263 average and .812 OPS on the year while adding 12 home runs, 51 RBI, 13 stolen bases, 61 runs scored, 18 doubles and three triples through 82 contests. He's tracking toward career-best numbers in most power stats, though that's also come with a career-high 25.9 percent strikeout rate.

Song went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Song has three steals over his last eight games, and he's also gone 5-for-13 at the plate in that span. The infielder is filling a part-time role, and his path to playing time is a bit tougher after Jake Cronenworth returned to the lineup Monday to take over the starting job at second base. Song is batting .238 with a .666 OPS, one home run, seven steals, nine RBI and nine runs scored over 72 plate appearances. The bulk of Song's playing time will likely come when Manny Machado needs to rest his legs as the designated hitter.

Castro is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Giants.

Castro has now been absent from the lineup for three of five games this week, which is a shame for his fantasy managers given that the Rockies have been at home in Coors Field all week. Edouard Julien is covering second base for Colorado.

Cronenworth went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run against the Dodgers in a loss Thursday.

San Diego exploded for six runs over two innings against Los Angeles starter Roki Sasaki, with Cronenworth's three-run blast providing the final half of that scoring. However, the Dodgers went on to mount a comeback and emerged with the victory. Cronenworth's long ball was his first since April 8, though he missed most of May and June while recovering from a concussion. The veteran infielder is slashing a meager .164/.276/.236 across 128 plate appearances on the season, and his three RBI on Thursday nearly matched the four RBI he had produced over his first 35 contests combined.

Song went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a blowout loss to the Cubs on Wednesday.

The Padres didn't have much to celebrate on a day when they were blown out of the water by a 23-3 margin. However, Song enjoyed a personal milestone when he hit his first major-league home run with a 385-foot solo blast in the fifth inning. The 29-year-old hasn't shown much power so far with a .100 ISO through 69 plate appearances, though he's demonstrated good plate discipline with a 9:13 BB:K and has swiped six bases on eight attempts.

Nunez went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's rout of the Red Sox.

The light-hitting infielder lofted a Payton Tolle fastball over the Green Monster in the fourth inning for his first homer of the season, and the fifth of his career in his 172nd MLB game. Nunez is still looking to escape the slump he got mired in late in June, and over his last nine contests he's batting just .160 (4-for-25) with 14 strikeouts.

Albies went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI double and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals.

Albies tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the first inning with an RBI double before putting Atlanta up 2-1 in the third with his two-out blast off Michael McGreevy, his 13th homer this season. The long ball was the first in nine games for Albies, who'd gone 5-for-29 with just one extra-base hit in his previous eight contests. The second baseman is now slashing .276/.325/.444 with 48 RBI, 53 runs scored and one steal across 360 plate appearances this season.
