Pederson (shoulder) remains out of the lineup Thursday against the Brewers, Andy McCullough of the LA Times reports.

Thursday will mark the second straight absence for Pederson, who departed Tuesday's game with what the team diagnosed as a bruised AC joint. Pederson has not made significant progress over the last two days, and the LA Times reported Wednesday that the outfielder could be headed for the DL if he doesn't demonstrate improvement in the near future.

Pederson (shoulder) could end up on the DL if he doesn't show any progress soon, Andy McCullough of the LA Times reports.

Pederson left Tuesday's game with a bruised AC joint after slamming into the outfield wall and is currently considered day-to-day. He is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game as Trayce Thompson gets the start in center against the Brewers. If Pederson does end up missing time on the disabled list, Trayce Thompson will likely earn most of the time in center while Howie Kendrick figures to get more time in left.

Pederson (shoulder) is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Brewers.

He left Tuesday's game with a bruised AC joint and was considered day-to-day, but given the force at which he crashed into the outfield wall Tuesday, it's not surprising that he is out of the lineup Wednesday. Trayce Thompson will start in center field and hit sixth against Milwaukee.

Turner (toe) is back in the lineup Wednesday against the Brewers.

He had four extra-base hits and six RBI in the four games prior to the minor toe injury that forced him to miss one game. Turner will bat third against righty Junior Guerra on Wednesday, and should re-assume the everyday duties at the hot corner.

Ozuna had two hits and scored a run in his return to the lineup Tuesday against the Tigers.

After missing a couple of games with a minor wrist injury, Ozuna went right back to work in his return with a 2-for-5 night. Ozuna continues to beast his way through the 2016 season, slashing .321/.375/.570 with 16 home runs, 44 RBI and 48 runs scored over 74 games.

Soler (hamstring) has yet to be sent on a rehab assignment, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Rather than begin a rehab assignment, Soler will be traveling with the Cubs on their upcoming trip to New York. The team has yet to reveal a timetable for Soler's return, who's most recent activity had been participating in batting practice.

Carpenter homered as part of a 2-for-3 game with two walks, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Royals.

Carpenter now has three homers in his past three games to raise his total to 14. After setting a career high with 28 home runs last season, Carpenter is on pace to hit 30 in 2016. Carpenter's batting line is up to .300/.420/.592. The resulting 1.012 OPS would be a career best by a whopping 139 points.

Harper went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run homer and two runs scored Tuesday against the Mets.

Just another day at the office for the 23-year-old slugger, who showed no ill effects after falling at first base and taking a foul ball off the leg Monday. Harper is proving that his 2015 NL MVP campaign was no fluke, with two hits in each of his last two games and 16 long balls overall.

Pederson, who left Tuesday's game after slamming into the outfield wall, has a bruised AC joint (shoulder) and is considered day-to-day, MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said after the game that he thinks the Dodgers may have dodged a bullet, as X-rays on Pederson's shoulder were negative. He will be re-evaluated Wednesday, but it sounds like he could avoid a DL stint. Trayce Thompson figures to get the bulk of the starts in center field while Pederson is out.

Pederson left Tuesday's game with an apparent right arm/shoulder injury after slamming into the outfield wall while making a spectacular catch, the Orange County Register's Bill Plunkett reports.

Jonathan Lucroy, who was at second base, managed to scored on the tag, as Pederson was unable to get up to throw the ball back in. He was replaced by Trayce Thompson in center field, with Yasiel Puig coming in to play right field. Pederson will likely go for tests after the game, and his status will be updated when the team provides more details about the nature of the injury.
