Turner went 1-for-3 with two runs, a stolen base, a walk and a strikeout in Saturday's 6-1 triumph over San Francisco.

Turner contributed to a three-run first inning by walking, stealing second and scoring and later singled and scored in the sixth. The theft was only his second all season, though both have come since the beginning of August, and the veteran third baseman has compiled a solid 7-for-19 span at the dish over his past five games.

Alvarez (knee) underwent X-rays on Saturday that came back negative, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Alvarez was diagnosed with a left knee contusion after exiting Saturday's game against San Diego, and he doesn't appear to be dealing with any structural damage. Manager Dusty Baker is optimistic that the 24-year-old won't require a trip to the injured list, so he should be considered day-to-day.

Canha went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 10-8 loss to Toronto.

After an underwhelming August, Canha has started to regain his composure at the plate by posting an eight-game hitting streak. He's gone 10-for-31 (.323) with four homers, 10 RBI and eight runs scored in that stretch, with all four long balls coming in his last five contests. The 32-year-old's slash line is at .239/.365/.415 with 16 homers, 53 RBI, 81 runs scored and 12 stolen bases through 518 plate appearances overall.

Alvarez suffered a left knee contusion in Saturday's game against the Padres, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Alvarez had to be helped off the field after he fouled a ball off his left knee Saturday, and he's considered day-to-day. The 24-year-old will likely be evaluated to determine the extent of the issue, but it doesn't appear as though he's dealing with a serious injury.

Alvarez exited Saturday's game against the Padres with an apparent leg injury, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Alvarez went down after fouling a ball off his left leg in the top of the fifth inning, and he needed some assistance to get off the field. He went 1-for-1 with a walk prior to his departure, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Sunday's series finale in San Diego.

Reyes went 1-for-1 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

With Cleveland down to its final out, Reyes was summoned off the bench to hit for Yu Chang. Facing Adam Ottavino, Reyes got down to his final strike before absolutely demolishing a hanging slider over the Green Monster to tie the game at three. While Boston went on to win the game, the swing had to feel good for the 26-year-old, as he entered play mired in a 1-for-19 slump over his last five games.

Dickerson was placed on the injured list with a right hamstring strain Saturday.

Dickerson wasn't likely to start Saturday against lefty Julio Urias, but he'll now be out until at least Sept. 14. Whether or not he'll miss additional time beyond that point is not yet clear. Mauricio Dubon was recalled to take his place on the roster.

Torrens will not start Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Torrens has emerged as the Mariners' regular designated hitter, but that spot isn't available under National League rules. He'll sit for the second straight game Saturday and will likely remain on the bench Sunday unless the Mariners give him a start behind the plate or at first base.

Miller is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Miller will head to the bench with a lefty in Trevor Rogers due up for Miami -- no surprise given Miller's platoon splits. He also sat earlier in the week against a righty starter, but Miller still looks like the favorite for starts vs. RHP down the stretch given his experience, which could prove important with the Phillies still in the postseason hunt. Rhys Hoskins (abdomen) is out for the year.

Reyes will sit Saturday against the Red Sox.

Reyes will get a rest after going 1-for-19 with 11 strikeouts in his last five games. Jose Ramirez will rest his legs as the designated hitter in his absence, with Yu Chang starting in Ramirez's usual spot at the hot corner.
