Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a 6-4 win against the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Turner launched a solo shot to left field in the sixth inning and drove in another run in the seventh with a single. The shortstop is slashing .365/.435/.595 with three homers, six doubles, 17 RBI and six stolen bases over his current 19-game hitting streak. He's tied for third in the National League with 37 RBI on the season and is tied for second with 10 thefts.

Berti went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-4 loss to Atlanta.

Making his return from a lengthy stint on the COVID-19 list, Berti got the nod at second base and hit leadoff in place of Jazz Chisholm (hamstring). Chisholm is expected to be back in action this weekend, but Berti has made an impact in a utility role, slashing .295/.426/.523 over 54 plate appearances this season while tallying two homers, four RBI, 11 runs and three steals.

Lindor went 1-for-2 with two walks, three runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 8-6 win over the Phillies.

The shortstop has both hit safely and crossed the plate in five straight games. The performance extended a hot streak that has seen Lindor hit .364 (12-for-33) over his last nine contests. Over that span, he's tallied two of his eight homers and two of his six steals and also added 12 RBI and 13 runs.

Berti was activated off the COVID-19 injured list Friday and will lead off and play second base against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Berti last played in a big-league game three weeks ago, but he's ready to go after going 1-for-3 in a pair of rehab games. He'll start in place of Jazz Chisholm, who's battling a hamstring injury, though Chisholm is expected to return at some point over the weekend and push Berti back to the bench.

Edman went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Brewers.

This was Edman's fourth multi-hit effort in his last six games. He's hitting .379 (11-for-29) with four doubles, three RBI, a stolen base and seven runs scored in that productive span. The 27-year-old is up to a .288/.373/.448 slash line with four homers, 21 RBI, 34 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 43 games. He'll hit leadoff the vast majority of the time, though he'll often play shortstop against right-handed pitchers to allow prospect Nolan Gorman to log time at second base.

Marcano will be recalled prior to the Pirates' weekend series at San Diego, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Marcano has maintained an excellent .312/.411/.495 line across 113 plate appearances with Double-A Altoona on the season. While he may not have a stable spot in the lineup, he's likely to pick up consistent playing time thanks to his ability to slot in at the corner outfield positions as well as both second and third base. Yoshi Tsutsugo (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list in the corresponding move.

Wendle (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle has been on the injured list since May 13 but is ready to return after logging seven at-bats during a rehab stint. He should find regular at-bats with both Jon Berti (illness) and Jazz Chisholm (hamstring) sidelined in the short term, though a timeshare at third base with Brian Anderson is most likely moving forward. Prior to going down, Wendle had maintained a .304/.368/.456 line with two home runs, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored across 87 plate appearances.

Arcia was added to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.

For a second straight game, Arcia is a late addition to Atlanta's lineup. He'll start in left field and bat eighth after Marcell Ozuna (abdomen) was removed from Thursday's lineup. Arcia went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a run, an RBI and a walk in Wednesday's win over Philadelphia.

Camargo isn't starting Thursday against Atlanta.

After starting in two straight games to begin the week, Camargo will be on the bench for a second consecutive matchup while Bryson Stott starts at shortstop and bats ninth. Camargo has gone 4-for-13 with a run, two walks and five strikeouts over his last five games.

Williams was traded from the Giants to the Marlins in exchange for Hayden Cantrelle on Thursday.

Williams was designated for assignment by San Francisco last weekend, and he'll now attempt to carve out a role with a new organization. The 25-year-old has appeared in 66 games between the Phillies and Giants over the last two years, and he's hit .245 with a homer, five doubles, nine runs and nine RBI. Williams will likely report to Triple-A Jacksonville following Thursday's trade.
