Edwards went 3-for-4 with two steals in Sunday's victory over Milwaukee.

In an increasingly rare start, Edwards was able to display his main calling card, speed, as he stole second base twice in the game. The rookie has struggled to see playing time of late, as he's started only twice over the last eight games. Edwards is slashing .303/.333/.348 with three steals, 11 runs and three RBI over 71 big-league appearances.

India went 2-for-2 with one double, two walks and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

India reached base in all four plate appearances Sunday and scored the game-winning run in a contest the Reds desperately needed to win. Since being reinstated from the IL on Sept. 10 following a bout with plantar fasciitis, India had only five hits in his previous 42 at-bats going into Sunday's game. Over 509 plate appearances, India's now slashing .242/.334/.400 with 16 home runs, 58 RBI, 73 runs and 13 stolen bases.

Fermin is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Fermin finds himself on the bench for the second straight game after he started the previous three contests. The 24-year-old has a .497 OPS in 43 plate appearances this season and should continue to see opportunities during the final week with Nolan Arenado (back) shut down.

Bae is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Bae went 4-for-11 with a double, a triple, a stolen base, four RBI and three runs while starting the previous three games, but he'll step out of the lineup Sunday. Jared Triolo will man the keystone in the series finale.

Marte was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Yankees due to an illness, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Marte was penciled in to start his 11th straight game but will instead hit the bench due to the illness. Jordan Lawlar was added to the lineup at shortstop, pushing Geraldo Perdomo to second base.

Arraez (ankle) isn't in the Marlins' lineup Sunday against Milwaukee, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Arraez re-injured his left ankle during Saturday's win over Milwaukee and said before Sunday's game that he "can't do anything right now." He will get an extra day of rest during Miami's day off Monday, but for now there's no telling when he'll be able to return. Xavier Edwards will start at second base and bat ninth while Arraez is out.

Hoerner went 2-for-2 with two walks, two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's victory over the Rockies.

Hoerner has now hit safely in 15 of the last 17 contests, batting .358 with 12 runs, six RBI and six steals across 67 at-bats during that stretch. Despite a 37-game homer drought, the 26-year-old has found myriad other ways to contribute down the stretch, stealing 13 bases during that same span and extending his streak of plate appearances without a strikeout to 34.

Arraez was removed from Saturday's win over the Brewers with an apparent leg injury, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Arraez slipped on the dugout steps when the lights were turned off at loanDepot park for Tanner Scott's entrance in the top of the ninth inning. Garrett Hampson took over at second base for the final frame as Joey Wendle entered to play shortstop. Arraez, the MLB batting average leader at .353, just returned Friday from a two-game absence for a left ankle sprain and could now need more time off in the heat of the Marlins' NL wild-card hunt.

Fermin isn't in the Cardinals' lineup Saturday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Fermin has gone 3-for-10 with a walk since assuming a starter role with Nolan Arenado (back) on the injured list. He'll get a breather Saturday as Irving Lopez starts at third base and bats eighth.

Turang isn't in the Brewers' lineup Saturday against Miami.

Lefty Jesus Luzardo will start on the bump for the Marlins on Saturday, so the left-handed bat of Turang will stay put in the Brewers' dugout. Andruw Monasterio will fill in at second base and bat eighth while Turang sits.
