MLB Player News

Turner went 4-for-4 with two stolen bases and four runs scored while hitting for the cycle during Wednesday's 15-6 win over the Rays. He exited the contest in the bottom of the seventh inning due to a jammed left middle finger, according to Maria Torres of The Athletic.

Turner's sixth-inning triple put him in an exclusive group, as he became just the fourth player in the modern era to hit for three cycles during a career. It wasn't all great news for Turner, however, as manager Davey Martinez said that Turner jammed his left middle finger "pretty good." The shortstop is considered day-to-day for the time being after concluding a sensational month of June with 39 hits, 24 runs and six stolen bases. The Nationals kick off a four-game series with the Dodgers on Thursday.

Berti is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Berti will head to the bench for the first time since June 5, ending a stretch of 21 consecutive starts. The 31-year-old provided only five extra-base knocks (three home runs, two doubles) during that stretch, but he batted .324 and posted a .405 on-base average. The newly acquired Joe Panik will enter the starting nine for the first time as a Marlin, but Berti should have some job security at the hot corner based on how he's performed in recent weeks.

Rojas (illness) will start at shortstop and bat fifth Wednesday against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Rojas was withheld from the lineup Tuesday while he was feeling under the weather, but the day off was apparently all he needed to recover. Luis Marte will return to a bench role after starting for Rojas on Tuesday.

Williams is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Williams picked up his fourth start in five games Tuesday, but his window for everyday playing time appears to have closed now that Jean Segura has returned from the injured list. With Segura locked in as the Phillies' regular second baseman, the versatile Williams will now move into a utility role.

The Dodgers transferred Seager (hand) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

Seager's fractured right hand has kept him out of action since May 15, and after recently suffering a setback in his recovery, he wasn't on track to return from the 10-day IL prior to the All-Star break. As a result, the Dodgers' decision to transfer Seager to the 60-day IL is merely a formality that won't affect his timeline for a return. The Dodgers likely won't be able to outline a clear target date for Seager to come off the IL until he's cleared to resume baseball activities again.

Story is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

Since returning from the 10-day injured list June 10, Story has started in all 18 of the Rockies' games, slashing .269/.359/.507 with four home runs and six stolen bases over that stretch. He'll get a well-deserved breather in the series finale with Pittsburgh, paving the way for Brendan Rodgers to pick up a start at shortstop.

Reyes was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Reyes was called up by the Brewers on Monday, and he went 0-for-1 in his lone appearance as a pinch hitter during his time in the majors. He'll head back to the Triple-A club but could be an option to return to the Brewers as utility depth at some point.

DeJong isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

DeJong has gone 3-for-10 with two homers, four RBI, two runs and a stolen base across the last four games, but he'll get a breather in Wednesday's series finale. Edmundo Sosa will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Edman went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run and a stolen base in a 3-2 victory versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

The Cardinals' leadoff hitter singled and stole second base in the fifth frame before coming around to score the game's first run on Nolan Arenado's two-run homer. He came up with a big single in the following inning, driving in a run that proved to provide the winning margin in the contest. Edman is slashing a modest .259/.301/.364 on the season but has made his mark in fantasy with 14 stolen bases in 17 attempts.

Barrero will make his Triple-A debut for Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Barrero jumped all the way from High-A to the big leagues last season but looked overmatched, hitting .194/.206/.194 in 68 plate appearances. He's back on a standard development track this season. His promotion to Triple-A is well earned based on his performance at Double-A Chattanooga, where he hit .300/.367/.481 with six homers and eight steals in 40 games.
