Carpenter is not in the lineup Thursday against the Pirates, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Carpenter will receive a breather after going hitless in his last 13 at-bats. Tommy Edman will start at third base while Rangel Ravelo works in right field Thursday.

Dickerson is not in the lineup Thursday against the Mariners, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Dickerson went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and two runs scored Wednesday and will take a seat in the series finale with lefty Nick Margevicius on the mound. Darin Ruf receives the start in left field for the Giants.

Belt is not in the lineup Thursday against the Mariners, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Belt will take a seat Thursday versus Seattle southpaw Nick Margevicius after starting seven straight games. Wilmer Flores shifts to first base while Austin Slater starts in right field in the series finale.

Dickerson went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Mariners.

Dickerson hit a leadoff double in the third inning and came around to score on a Brandon Belt homer. In the fourth, Dickerson plated Mike Yastrzemski with a single and later scored his second run of the game on a passed ball. In his previous seven games, Dickerson was just 3-for-14 with a homer and two RBI. He now has eight homers, 24 RBI, 22 runs scored and a .279 batting average in 42 contests.

Belt went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Mariners.

Belt extended the Giants' lead to 4-0 with his homer off Ljay Newsome in the third inning. The homer ended a 0-for-12 skid for Belt, who now has eight round-trippers on the year. The first baseman has added 24 RBI, 20 runs scored and a .305/.401/.602 slash line in 40 games.

Miller went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and double during the win over Milwaukee in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Miller's seventh homer of the season extended the St. Louis lead to 4-2 in the sixth. He also tallied a double to give him his first multi-hit game since Sept. 2. Though the veteran utility man has gone just 8-for-43 across his last 14 games, he still holds a solid .273/.396/.536 slash line on the campaign.

Pederson was placed on the family medical emergency list Wednesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Players spend a minimum of three days on the list, though pandemic-related protocols could potentially extend Pederson's absence. Zach McKinstry was recalled in a corresponding move.

Pederson will not start Wednesday against the Padres, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

While Padres opener Adrian Morejon may not pitch deep into the game, the Dodgers will nevertheless sit Pederson against the lefty. Chris Taylor takes over in left field.

Vogelbach went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk en route to four RBI and three runs scored during the Brewers' 18-3 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Vogelbach contributed his first home run in a Brewers uniform. After swatting a home run nearly every 15 at-bats as a Mariner last season, Tuesday marked merely his third through 83 at-bats in 2020. However, since being claimed off waivers on Sept. 3, Vogelbach has 12 hits in eight appearances for Milwaukee, so the change of scenery appears to have suited him.

Turner (hamstring) went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Padres.

Turner's first game back from an injured-list stint was a big success. He plated Mookie Betts with an RBI single in the first inning. Turner got on base with another single in the third and came around to score on a Cody Bellinger single. The 35-year-old Turner served as the designated hitter Tuesday, but he should take some playing time from Edwin Rios at third base going forward. Turner has two homers, 21 RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base in 33 games this season.
