Freeland hit a solo home run in his lone at-bat during Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Padres.

Freeland, a switch hitter, has largely been held out of the lineup versus southpaws, and that was true Saturday against San Diego lefty Nestor Cortes. Freeland ended up providing the Dodgers' lone run -- and second and final hit -- when he went yard off Jeremiah Estrada as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. This was Freeland's second homer in as many days and his fifth extra-base hits over his last six contests. The young infielder is batting .241 with a .776 OPS, six RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base through 70 plate appearances.

Chapman went 0-for-3 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Brewers.

Chapman went hitless in his return from a 10-day stint on the injured list but recorded his first stolen base since June 8. The third baseman has struggled since the All-Star break, hitting just .198 with four homers, 13 RBI and 12 runs scored over 24 games. On the season, he's slashing .227/.338/.420 with 16 home runs, 44 RBI, 54 runs scored and eight steals across 408 plate appearances.

Durbin went 1-for-3 with an RBI double during Saturday's 7-1 loss to San Francisco.

Durbin supplied the Brewers' only run Saturday on an RBI double to right field in the second inning. It broke a four-game hitless streak for Durbin, who got the start at second base and could be seeing more time at the keystone if Brice Turang is out for an extended period of time while nursing a wrist injury.

Sanoja went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Blue Jays.

The 22-year-old utility player kept the Marlins in the game nearly single-handedly with RBI singles in the ninth and 11th innings, in the process becoming the first player in franchise history to have multiple game-tying hits in the ninth inning or later in the same game. Sanoja has started five of the last six games at third base with Graham Pauley (oblique) and Connor Norby (wrist) both on the shelf, going 6-for-21 (.286) with a double, a homer, a steal, two runs and four RBI.

Shaw is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Shaw will take a seat for the second time in three games Saturday, freeing up Willi Castro for another start at third base. Shaw has hit five home runs and is slashing .240/.316/.660 in August.

The Giants reinstated Chapman (hand) from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Chapman will be activated after the minimum 10-day stay on the injured list. The third baseman was dealing with right hand inflammation. Tyler Fitzgerald was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Chapman is playing third base and batting sixth Saturday against the Brewers.

Baty went 4-for-6 with a double and three runs scored in Friday's win over Atlanta.

The Mets' offense erupted for 21 hits and 12 runs Friday, and Baty was right in the thick of things from the sixth spot in the order. He got the start at second base while Jeff McNeil deals with a shoulder issue, but Baty has forced his way into an everyday role by hitting safely in nine of his last 10 games and batting .405 (15-for-37) during that span with four homers, six RBI and 10 runs.

Freeland went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Padres.

Freeland has four extra-base hits over his last five games. His homer Friday was the first of his big-league career, coming in his 20th game. Freeland is up to a .228/.353/.351 slash line with five RBI, nine runs scored and a stolen base through 69 plate appearances. He should continue to see time primarily against right-handed pitchers while the Dodgers wait to get some infielders back from injuries.

Freeland went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, a run and an RBI in Thursday's 9-5 win over Colorado.

Freeland not only posted his first three-hit effort in the majors, he also hit his first big-league triple and his second major-league double. The rookie infielder went 6-for-17 in the first five games following his July 29 call-up, but he then sputtered to a 1-for-25 stretch that included 10 strikeouts (albeit with seven walks) over his next 10 contests. Freeland may be starting to turn things back around, as he's gone 5-for-13 with three extra-base knocks and just one punchout over his past four contests. He's been starting regularly against right-handed pitchers, logging time at both second and third base.

Karros (back) will start at third base and bat fifth in Friday's game versus the Pirates.

Karros was out of commission the previous two days while dealing with back tightness, but he's ready to go for Friday's series opener in Pittsburgh. The rookie infielder is off to a nice start in his first 12 big-league games, slashing .270/.386/.432 with one home run.
