Ramirez went 1-for-5 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Padres.

It's the rookie's first game as a Marlin with multiple RBI -- an impressive rebound after he saw his 10-game hitting streak snapped Friday. Ramirez is now slashing .355/.403/.468 with a homer, eight RBI and 10 runs through his first 17 big-league contests.

Winker grounded into two double plays in Saturday's loss to the Nationals, as the team hit into three double plays and left nine runners on base.

Though Winker had a single in the game, he was one of many Reds to fail in clutch situations Saturday. He's hitting .239/.312/.450 on the season.

Harper went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in a 4-3 loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.

Harper scored his first run of the night on a J.T. Realmuto single in the fourth inning before tying the game with his eighth-inning blast that also scored Jean Segura. Harper has multiple hits in four of his last five games, going 10-for-20 with two homers, five doubles and nine RBI in that span. Overall, the right fielder is hitting .252/.366/.495 with 11 homers in 58 games this season.

Turner (hamstring) is expected to return to the lineup Sunday or Monday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Turner is sitting Saturday against the Phillies for the third straight game. He went through a workout on the field Saturday afternoon, which apparently went well enough, as he isn't expected to miss much more time.

Pederson is not starting Saturday against the Phillies.

Pederson is again the victim of an opener, as he'll sit against lefty Jose Alvarez. Chris Taylor gets the call in left field.

Turner (hamstring) will sit for the third straight game Saturday against the Phillies, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Turner went through agility drills on the field prior to the game, suggesting his return may be close, but he'll remain on the bench for now. Max Muncy again starts at third base, with David Freese getting the call at first.

McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

McCutchen's fourth-inning blast helped cut the Dodgers' lead to 2-1 at the time, but it was only one of five hits on the night for the Phillies. McCutchen is up to 10 homers, 29 RBI and 45 runs scored in 56 games this season, typically batting at the top of a loaded lineup.

Pederson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.

Pederson scored on Max Muncy's two-run blast in the third inning, and then sent one of his own out of the yard in the fifth inning. Pederson has three homers in his last five games, going 9-for-19 with four RBI and six runs scored during the hot stretch. The outfielder is hitting .274/.375/.662 over 51 games this season.

Carpenter went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Cubs.

He bookended the night by scoring on Marcell Ozuna's sac fly in the first inning, then bringing home the winning run in the 10th with a bases-loaded hit into the left-field corner. Carpenter wraps up May with a .237 batting average (23-for-97), five homers and 14 RBI in 27 games.

Turner (hamstring) will sit for the second straight game Friday against the Phillies, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Hamstring tightness kept Turner out of the lineup Thursday against the Mets, and he'll need at least one more day to rest. Max Muncy starts at third base, with Matt Beaty in the lineup at first.
