Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Rockies.

The long ball was Bogaerts' first since July 28. Over the 14 games in between homers, he went 14-for-56 (.250) with two doubles, five RBI and seven runs scored. The infielder is up to six homers, six stolen bases, 25 RBI, 38 runs scored, 11 doubles and a triple while slashing .267/.308/.373 over 73 contests this season.

Rodgers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 7-3 win over the Padres.

Rodgers' first-inning blast provided all the offense the Rockies needed for the win. He's been excellent in August, going 20-for-51 (.392) with three homers, 10 RBI and six doubles over 13 contests this month. The surge has him up to a .280/.325/.422 slash line with 10 homers, 44 RBI, 52 runs scored, 23 doubles and a stolen base through 104 contests as Colorado's starting second baseman.

Lux went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the Cardinals.

Lux continues to be steady at the plate in August -- he's gone 15-for-46 (.326) over 14 contests this month. The second baseman has added some power with two homers and a double over his last four games. For the season, he's slashing .251/.311/.381 with eight homers, 43 RBI, 42 runs scored, four stolen bases, 16 doubles and two triples through 104 contests. Lux can be penciled in for an everyday role as long as he's hitting well.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM Friday that the hope is Edman (wrist/ankle) will be ready for activation from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Acquired from the Cardinals at the trade deadline, Edman has been out all season recovering from wrist surgery and more recently an ankle sprain, but his Dodgers debut is on the horizon. Edman is 5-for-15 with one home run and a 1:3 K:BB in five rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City. He's expected to see the bulk of his action in center field for the Dodgers, but Edman also made a start at shortstop at OKC this week and offers the versatility to play multiple spots if needed.

Marte (ankle) is absent from the starting nine for Friday's game against the Rays.

Marte was diagnosed with a low-grade ankle sprain Tuesday and will spend Friday's series opener on the bench. The second baseman hasn't started and finished a game since Aug. 8, but the Diamondbacks don't believe he will require an IL stint. Blaze Alexander will bat ninth and play the keystone Friday. Per Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona, Marte said Friday that he's feeling better and could be in the lineup Saturday.

Iglesias went 2-for-4 with a walk in Thursday's loss to the A's.

The veteran infielder got the start at second base and batted sixth, and he kept up the offensive production that has pushed him into a regular role. Even with Jeff McNeil turning things around at the plate, Iglesias has started eight of 13 games so far in August, batting .313 (10-for-32) with two doubles, three RBI and four runs. The lack of counting stats makes him tough to roster in shallower formats, however, and with Starling Marte (knee) potentially returning from the IL this weekend, Iglesias could find himself relegated to the short side of a platoon with McNeil at the keystone.

Turang went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run and two stolen bases in a 6-4 win over the Dodgers on Thursday.

Turang began the bottom of the first inning with a double and subsequently crossed the plate on Jackson Chourio's two-run homer. That wasn't the end of Turang's production, as he reached base two more times and stole a base in each instance. The second baseman began August in a 5-for-35 funk, but he's gone 3-for-5 with two walks and three thefts over his past two contests. His two swipes Thursday moved him back into second place in the majors with 36 steals on the campaign.

Turang went 1-for-2 with an RBI triple, a stolen base and a run scored while also drawing a walk in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.

Turang walked and stole second in his first trip to the plate before adding an RBI triple and also scoring a run in the second inning to tie the game 3-3. The shortstop had gone 0-for-11 over his last three starts before posting his third triple of the season in Wednesday's win. He's batting just .162 (6-for-37) since the start of August with two extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs scored, while the stolen base marked his 34th of the campaign.

India went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in a 9-2 win against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

India tormented St. Louis starter Kyle Gibson, touching up the veteran hurler for a three-run homer in the third inning and a solo shot in the fifth. The power outburst came on the heels of a rough stretch for India during which he batted a paltry .138 with only one homer over his previous 24 contests. In fact, the second baseman had been in a five-game, 0-for-20 slump prior to breaking out Wednesday.

Brujan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Brujan will hit the bench for the series finale in Philadelphia after he had started in each of Miami's last three games while going 1-for-8 with a solo home run and a walk. The switch-hitting Brujan should have a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, but his spot in the everyday lineup may not be fully secure just yet.
