Turner went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and two stolen bases in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

Turner was a thorn in Atlanta's side all night, capping his performance with a walk-off two-run single in the 10th inning. It was the shortstop's 10th multi-hit effort in 28 August games, leaving him just four hits behind Bo Bichette's league-leading 172 for the year. Turner is slashing .300/.353/.452 with 14 homers, 64 RBI and 92 runs scored across 560 plate appearances and is tied for fifth in the majors with 34 stolen bases after swiping two Saturday.

Baez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Kansas City.

After collecting a base hit and scoring a run during Friday's win, Baez will retreat to the dugout Saturday with Riley Greene, Wenceel Perez and Kerry Carpenter in the outfield for the Tigers.

Arias (wrist) isn't starting against Seattle on Saturday.

Arias was hit on the right wrist by a pitch during Friday's contest and had to leave the game. He took X-rays that came back negative, but the versatile IF/OF will nonetheless begin on the bench Saturday. Brayan Rocchio is starting at shortstop in his stead.

The Pirates recalled Devanney from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Since joining the Pirates organization via trade from Kansas City on July 16, Devanney has slashed .256/.327/.361 with two homers, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored across 147 plate appearances. Those numbers represent a significant drop off from the .931 OPS he posted with the Royals' Triple-A affiliate, but he'll aim to contribute for the big club nonetheless. The 28-year-old has experience at every infield position and will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

Meidroth went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a walk Friday against the Yankees.

Meidroth returned to the top of the lineup to hit leadoff for the second consecutive game against a lefty. He's gotten on base consistently since returning from a thumb injury Aug. 15, maintaining a .354 on-base percentage with seven runs scored across 12 games. Meidroth has also chipped in three RBI and a stolen base, but he won't offer much power.

X-rays taken on Arias' wrist injury following Friday's game were negative, MLB.com reports.

Arias was plunked by a 94.7-mph sinker on the wrist during Friday's win over the Mariners and was immediately removed. Brayan Rocchio moved from second base to cover shortstop in Arias' absence.

Adames went 4-for-6 with one RBI, one stolen base and three runs scored in Friday's 15-8 win over the Orioles.

Adames has gone 10-for-28 (.357) across his last seven games, a span that includes a pair of two-homer performances. He's added seven RBI and two steals in that span to provide well-rounded contributions. The veteran shortstop is up to a .229/.317/.419 slash line with 24 homers, eight steals, 70 RBI, 82 runs scored, 18 doubles and two triples over 133 contests this season.

Monasterio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during the Brewers' 7-2 win over the Blue Jays on Friday.

Monasterio supplied the game's first run in the sixth inning with a solo shot to left field off Shane Bieber. It was Monasterio's fourth home run of the season, surpassing his previous career high that he set in 2023. He's now in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak, going 11-for-29 (.379) with six runs, two homers and four RBI over that span.

Volpe went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

Volpe delivered an RBI single in the sixth inning before following with a two-run blast in the seventh. The homer was the 24-year-old's first since Aug. 12, ending a drought in which he went 4-for-43 with 15 strikeouts over 12 games. On the season, he's slashing .209/.273/.404 with 19 home runs, 69 RBI, 59 runs scored and 16 steals across 526 plate appearances.

Swanson went 3-for-5 with two home runs, six RBI, a triple and an additional run scored in an 11-7 win over the Rockies on Friday.

It was a banner evening for Swanson, who recorded his first multi-homer effort of the year, piled up a season-high six RBI and tied his season best in hits. The veteran shortstop fell one RBI shy of matching his career high, and the two-homer outing was the 10th of his career. Swanson has put together a strong run of late, slashing .275/.322/.550 with 11 extra-base hits, 13 RBI and two stolen bases over his last 87 trips to the plate (23 games).
