Reyes was called up from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Reyes will take the place of Wil Myers on the active roster after the latter was placed on the 10-day disabled list due to a left foot contusion. Across 38 games with the Padres this year, Reyes is hitting .221/.270/.423 with six home runs and eight RBI. He will serve as a fourth outfielder behind Travis Jankowski, Manuel Margot and Hunter Renfroe while Myers is sidelined.

Pederson started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 loss to Houston.

Pederson led off the contest with a home run for the second consecutive game, but that would account for all of the offense the Dodgers could muster against Justin Verlander. The 26-year-old has really come into his own this season, slashing .261/.334/.539 with 17 homers and 44 RBI over 103 games. Pederson figures to see a healthy amount of starts versus righties, but he may cede a start or two per week to the bevy of other outfield options the club has at its disposal.

Brantley went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Friday in the loss to the Angels.

Brantley doubled home a run in the first inning to get Cleveland on the board, but they'd drop the series opener 7-4. After hitting seven home runs in May, Brantley's power numbers have dropped off, as he's slugged just three home runs over the past two months. Despite this, he's remained productive at the dish, collecting 58 RBI with a .294 average through 96 games in 2018.

Ohtani went 4-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base Friday in the win over Cleveland.

Ohtani launched the first two road home runs of his MLB career in Friday's series opener. He's slugged four home runs and driven in six RBI over his previous 10 games, and he's hitting .272 with 25 extra-base hits and 28 RBI through 58 games this season, despite playing through an elbow injury.

Ozuna (toe) is batting fourth and starting in left field against the Pirates on Friday, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

Ozuna exited Thursday's contest after experiencing discomfort in one of his left toes, although it never appeared to be a serious injury. The 27-year-old is slashing .324/.342/.595 with three home runs over his last nine games as the Cardinals begin a three-game series at Pittsburgh.

Stanton went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in the 15-7 loss to Boston on Thursday.

Stanton also whiffed twice Thursday, bringing him to 142 strikeouts this season, and inching him closer to his career high of 170 set in 2014. The 28-year-old is up to 25 homers and 66 RBI, but those still feel like disappointing numbers after he slugged 59 long balls and 132 RBI with the Marlins last season.

Turner went 1-for-2 with a walk, a two-run home run and three runs scored Thursday against the Brewers.

Turner returned from the disabled list Thursday and wasted no time making his presence known, blasting his sixth home run of the season in the sixth inning. He has managed to accumulate only 168 at-bats this season, and taking into account his lengthy struggle with injury, the Dodgers' may limit his playing time given the depth of their infield. When he has managed to take the field, Turner has posted a .262/.362/.417 slash line.

Pederson went 2-for-6 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored Thursday against the Brewers.

Pederson started the Dodgers' offensive barrage in the first inning with a solo home run, taking Jhoulys Chacin deep, and followed that up by homering off Taylor Williams in the seventh inning to bring his home run total up to 16. He now has a nearly identical number of at-bats as he did during the 2017 season, though he has five more home runs and is slugging 130 points higher in 2018. Due to trade deadline additions, the Dodgers' lineup is more crowded, which could cause Pederson to lose playing time, though he has started three of the last four games.

Harper went 2-for-3 with a homer, two RBI, two runs scored and two walks in the 10-4 win over Cincinnati.

Harper now has three consecutive multi-hit games, racking up four extra-base hits and five RBI in the process. He's batting .230 now in 2018 after ending June with an abysmal .219 average. It's still been a disappointing year for the 25-year-old slugger, but it seems he's turned a corner since the All-Star break.

Belt (knee) will need another 8-to-10 days before returning from the disabled list, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Belt was placed on the 10-day disabled list July 26 after suffering a bone bruise on his knee. He'll need a little over a week before the Giants will decide whether to activate him from the DL. After Pablo Sandoval (hamstring) was ruled out for the remainder of the season, San Francisco will look forward to the return of Belt to the lineup.
