Turner (wrist) will bat third and man third base for Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh, Andy McCullough of The Los Angeles Times reports.

Turner will return to the starting lineup after sitting out Tuesday's contest due to left wrist soreness. Over 18 games this season, Turner is hitting .250 with a .660 OPS.

Winker is starting in left field Wednesday and batting leadoff against the Rockies.

Despite recent statements from interim manager Jim Riggleman that the Reds' four-man outfield rotation was ending, with Winker as the odd man out, Winker has now started the last three games and four of the last five. He continues to get on base at a decent clip (.352 OBP), albeit without any palpable power (.317 SLG).

Reyes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Braves.

Reyes has accumulated a hit in seven of his past eight games, including a 6-for-15 span with a pair of solo home runs over his previous four starts. The 22-year-old will head to the bench in favor of Hunter Renfroe in right field for the series finale.

Ozuna went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a loss to the Marlins on Tuesday.

The surging outfielder got to his former Marlins squad, generating his third multi-hit effort over the first four games of June. Ozuna's bat has been blistering hot since May 21, a 13-game span in which he's hitting .487 with a double, two home runs, eight RBI and eight runs over 46 plate appearances, while also generating an eye-popping .523 wOBA.

Cespedes (hip) was able to run in the outfield and around the bases prior to the Mets' game Wednesday, but isn't expected to return this weekend against the Yankees, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Cespedes hasn't officially been ruled out for the Subway Series as the club is still discussing the possibility of his return this weekend. Manager Mickey Callaway previously stated that Cespedes will not require a rehab assignment.

Carpenter went 3-for-5 with a run scored and a strikeout in Tuesday's loss to the Marlins.

Carpenter smacked a trio of singles his first three times up, snapping a mini 0-for-11 slump over the three previous games. The 32-year-old sports a lowly .225/.333/.414 slash line, but most of that has been weighed down by a bad start. Since the end of April, Carpenter is hitting .280 with five homers and 11 doubles in 107 at-bats.

Pederson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Pirates.

Pederson gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead in the second inning with the two-run blast to right field. The 26-year-old is slashing .261/.340/.458 with four home runs and 22 RBI in 142 at-bats this season.

Turner is dealing with left wrist soreness, which explains his absence from Tuesday's starting lineup against the Pirates, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The issue cropped up over the weekend, but Turner is receiving treatment and expects to be back in the starting lineup Wednesday, according to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register. That said, the Dodgers will obviously proceed cautiously with the stud third baseman, especially considering the soreness is in the same wrist that he fractured in spring training. He should be considered day-to-day for now. Max Muncy is starting at third base and hitting second in his stead Tuesday.

Turner is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

Even after a scheduled off day Monday, Turner, who is hitting .250/.307/.353 across 75 plate appearances this season, finds himself on the bench for Tuesday's series opener. Max Muncy is starting at third base and hitting second in his stead.

Reyes started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an 11-4 win over Atlanta on Monday.

After getting off to a slow start to his major-league career, Reyes has now delivered five homers and a .289 average while starting 11 of the Padres' last 14 games. The Friars will have a tough decision to make regarding a couple of their talented young outfielders once Wil Myers (oblique) and Franchy Cordero (forearm) return, with Reyes being one of the players who could see his role reduced. Until then, the slugging outfielder is doing enough to provide fantasy value, and his owners shouldn't make any rash decisions until this situation plays itself out.
