Farmer went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Farmer got the Rockies on the board in the fifth inning. He's picked up a bit of playing time around the infield lately, but he's far from being a regular in the lineup. The veteran infielder is now at a .227/.280/.360 slash line with six homers, 25 RBI, 20 runs scored, 14 doubles and no stolen bases across 261 plate appearances this season. Farmer has gone 7-for-20 (.350) in August.

Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

A day after going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, Hoerner once again tallied two hits and tacked on another steal. The speedy infielder has now swiped 22 bases this season, and he's also batting .293. Hoerner doesn't hit for much power, as he only has four home runs in 116 games, but he derives fantasy value from his strong contact skills and ability on the basepaths.

Lawlar (hamstring) was activated from the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Reno on Thursday, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

Lawlar has been sidelined since late June due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Now healthy, Lawlar will look to ramp things up at Reno before likely finishing the season back in the big leagues with the Diamondbacks. With Eugenio Suarez shipped off to Seattle at the trade deadline, Arizona will surely want to get Lawlar plenty of everyday looks to close out the season with an eye toward the 2026 campaign. Lawlar was overmatched in his previous stint in the majors during an eight-game stretch in May, as he failed to record a hit across 22 trips to the plate.

Simon went 2-for-5 with two runs scored Wednesday against the Brewers.

Simon was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis after Oneil Cruz (concussion) landed on the injured list. He immediately led off with a right-handed starter on the mound and recorded the first multi-hit performance of his career. Simon is relatively light on power but makes regular contact and has consistently maintained double-digit walk rates while in the minors.

Edwards went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a triple and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 13-4 win over the Guardians.

Edwards led off the game with his second homer of the season before adding a triple and scoring again in the sixth. The 26-year-old is riding an eight-game hitting streak that includes six multi-hit efforts, five RBI, six runs scored and five stolen bases. On the season, he's slashing .305/.363/.383 with two home runs, 34 RBI, 58 runs scored and 22 steals across 471 plate appearances.

Hoerner went 2-for-4 and stole two bases in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Hoerner was unable to come around to score for the Cubs, though he still managed to wreak havoc on the basepaths. It's the fourth time this season he's swiped multiple bases in the same game, and the infielder is now up to 21 steals overall in 24 attempts. Since the start of the 2023 season, Hoerner has 95 stolen bases, and speed remains his greatest fantasy asset.

Marte went 4-for-5 with a three-run homer and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.

Marte's fourth hit Wednesday proved to be the decisive blow in Arizona's victory. With two outs in the ninth inning, the second baseman launched a 413-foot homer off Phil Maton to put the D-Backs ahead for good. Marte has now homered in back-to-back games after hitting just one home run in his previous 15 contests. He's gone 10-for-22 (.455) in his last five games, boosting his slash line to .297/.398/.558 with 23 long balls, 54 RBI and 66 runs scored across 387 plate appearances this season.

Turang (finger) will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Turang went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 14-0 win before being lifted in the bottom of the sixth inning for a pinch hitter while he tended to a pinkie injury. The Brewers held a 12-run lead at the time of Turang's departure, so the score may have played a factor in his early removal more so than the injury. The second baseman made enough progress in his recovery overnight to re-enter the lineup for a day game Wednesday as the Brewers look to extend their winning streak to 12.

McLain is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

McLain will take a breather, and Santiago Espinal will man second base and bat eighth Wednesday. Over the last 30 days, McLain has slashed .279/.326/.349 with one home run, seven RBI, 11 runs scored, three stolen bases and a 7:26 BB:K. The extra-base power hasn't been there for McLain this season. After slugging .507 as a rookie in 2023, McLain missed the 2024 season and has slugged just .339 across 452 plate appearances this year.

The Pirates recalled Simon from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.

Simon made his MLB debut with Pittsburgh earlier this season, slashing .234/.327/.277 with two doubles, five RBI, six runs scored and a 7:7 BB:K across his first 56 big-league plate appearances. He'll provide the Pirates with some middle-infield and outfield depth.
