Mauricio (illness) remains out of the lineup Thursday against the Diamondbacks, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

He should be available off the bench, however, after fully sitting out of the Mets' win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. Mauricio, 22, has batted .306/.342/.444 with one homer and four steals through 10 major-league games since his Sept. 1 call-up.

Wong went hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Padres.

Wong didn't start the game, but the Dodgers subbed out Mookie Betts late in the game. Wong ended up getting an at-bat in the ninth inning and broke up the Padres' shutout with his solo shot, his second homer and third hit over eight games with the Dodgers. The second baseman is at a .170/.245/.257 slash line with four homers, 24 RBI, 23 runs scored and three stolen bases over 229 plate appearances between the Dodgers and the Mariners this season.

Hoerner went 4-for-5 with a run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Rockies. He also stole one base in two attempts.

All four of Hoerner's hits were singles, and despite reaching four times, he only came around to score once. He did, however, record his 40th stolen base of the year in 47 attempts. The steals have been the infielder's biggest source of fantasy value, and he's now doubled his total from 2022. Hoerner should keep running frequently as the Cubs try to chase down a playoff spot in the final weeks of the season.

Mauricio is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks because of an illness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

It sounds like a day-to-day situation for the talented 22-year-old infielder, who hit his first major-league homer in Tuesday's win over Arizona and boasts a .306/.342/.444 batting line through his first 38 big-league plate appearances. Jeff McNeil is playing second base for the Mets on Wednesday as Brandon Nimmo, Rafael Ortega and DJ Stewart start across the outfield.

Turang is not in the lineup Wednesday versus the Marlins.

Andruw Monasterio will play second base and serve as the Brewers' leadoff man as they match up against left-hander Braxton Garrett. Turang has batted just .182 with a .456 OPS in 62 plate appearances versus lefties this season.

Mauricio is absent from the lineup Wednesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Jeff McNeil will cover second base as Brandon Nimmo, Rafael Ortega and DJ Stewart start across the outfield. This is presumably a planned day of rest for Mauricio, who slugged his first major-league homer in the Mets' win over Arizona on Tuesday.

St. Louis placed Gorman on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain.

Gorman suffered the injury while legging out an infield single in Tuesday's win at Baltimore and could be in danger of missing the remainder of the 2023 campaign. The 23-year-old slugger holds an .805 OPS with 27 homers and 76 RBI through 119 games this season with the Cardinals, who have called up Juniel Querecuto from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding roster move.

Mauricio went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

With the score tied 1-1 in the fourth inning, Mauricio put the Mets in the lead for good by ripping a Ryne Nelson fastball just fair down the right-field line. It was the first career big-league homer for the 22-year-old infielder, who is batting .306 (11-for-36) through his first 38 MLB plate appearances with two doubles, two runs, five RBI and a perfect 4-for-4 performance on steal attempts. Mauricio is also posting some impressive Statcast numbers with a 91.9 mph average exit velocity that is comparable to Mike Trout's and a 50.0 percent hard-hit rate that would rank in the 90th percentile if he had enough playing time to qualify. Only seven players this season have hit a ball harder than Mauricio's 117.3 mph max exit velocity, a list that includes Ronald Acuna, Matt Olson and Shohei Ohtani.

Arraez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Brewers.

Arraez started Tuesday's game with fireworks, swatting his seventh long ball of the season in the first inning off Freddy Peralta. However, Arraez would be the only Marlin to cross home plate, as they ultimately fell 3-1. Through 10 games this month, Arraez is 13-for-39 (.333) with eight runs scored and six RBI while striking out just 4.8 percent of the time.

Gorman was removed from Tuesday's game against the Orioles due to right hamstring tightness, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Gorman had to leave Tuesday's game after injuring himself while legging out an infield single in the second inning. There's still no word on how severe Gorman's injury is, but the Cardinals will likely offer more details before Wednesday's contest. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the time being.
