    Brewers' Brice Turang: Smacks 10th homer in win

    Turang went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

    Turang tied the game with a 410-foot blast in the fourth inning and then singled and scored again in the seventh. The 25-year-old has been red hot to open August, hitting safely in seven straight games with seven extra-base hits, 10 RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases. For the season, he's slashing .278/.343/.399 with 10 homers, 54 RBI, 68 runs scored and 21 steals across 472 plate appearances.

  • Hye Seong Kim 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim: Making progress toward return

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Kim (shoulder) has been taking part in defensive work and hitting in the batting cage, Sebastian Abdon Ibarra of DodgerBlue.com. "Hyeseong is doing well. He took some swings in the cage. I think on Friday we'll get him in a hitting group," Roberts said. "So he's coming along. I think he says he's almost pain-free, so hopefully we'll get him back here soon."

    Kim visibly struggled while swinging due to left shoulder bursitis and went 3-for-24 at the plate in his final nine games prior to landing on the injured list July 29. According to MLB.com, the rookie infielder resumed swinging a bat, taking grounders and running Monday, so his stay on the injured list may not necessarily be a lengthy one.

  • Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Scratched with groin tightness

    Donovan was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Cubs with left groin tightness, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    The Cardinals are calling Donovan's removal from the lineup precautionary, so while he won't be able to play Saturday, it doesn't seem like he's dealing with a severe issue. Thomas Saggese will enter the lineup to replace Donovan at second base and bat ninth.

  • Adael Amador SS | COL

    Rockies' Adael Amador: On bench Saturday

    Amador isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    After starting both of Colorado's games since being promoted Wednesday and going 0-for-5, Amador will step out of the starting nine Saturday while Kyle Farmer starts at second base and bats ninth.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Remaining out Saturday

    Garcia (back) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

    Back tightness prevented Garcia from playing in Friday's series opener, and he'll need at least one more day to recover before rejoining Washington's lineup. Paul DeJong will start at the keystone and bat third against southpaw Carson Whisenhunt.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Swipes bag No. 20

    Edwards went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's win over Atlanta.

    The speedster reeled off his third straight game with multiple hits and a steal, giving him 20 pilfers on the season while pushing his batting average above .300 for the first time since April 19. Edwards has been on a tear since the All-Star break, producing a .361/.411/.470 slash line over his last 20 games with five doubles, two triples, four stolen bases, six RBI and 15 runs.

  • Giants' Casey Schmitt: Lifts homer in win

    Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-0 win over the Nationals.

    Schmitt went deep to pad the Giants' lead in the sixth inning. The infielder continues to hold down a starting role at second base. He's been fairly steady at the plate lately, going 13-for-51 (.255) with three homers and eight RBI over his last 13 games. Overall, he's at a .249/.321/.412 slash line, seven homers, 24 RBI, 19 runs scored, eight doubles and no stolen bases through 56 contests this season.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Likely out until September

    Edman (ankle) will likely remain on the injured list until September, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Edman landed on the injured list Monday with a right ankle sprain, and the Dodgers are going to play it safe by keeping him on the shelf for an extended period of time. The team wants to give him all the time he needs to make a full recovery to ensure he's at 100 percent for the postseason. With Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) also on the IL, Miguel Rojas and Alex Freeland have been seeing time at the keystone for Los Angeles.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Scratched from lineup

    Garcia was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Giants due to back tightness.

    Garcia's back injury will force him to watch Friday's contest from the dugout. Jose Tena will enter the starting nine to fill the void at second base and bat eighth.

  • Thairo Estrada 2B | COL

    Rockies' Thairo Estrada: Done for 2025

    The Rockies transferred Estrada (hamstring) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Estrada strained his right hamstring during Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays. He was placed on the 10-day injured list one day later, and his move to the 60-day IL means Estrada will not play for the rest of the season. He will end the year with a .253/.285/.370 slash line with one steal, nine doubles, three home runs and 21 RBI across 165 plate appearances. Adael Amador and Aaron Schunk figure to see more starts at the keystone with Estrada sidelined.
