Abrams went 2-for-4 with a walk and three stolen bases in Sunday's win against the Phillies.

Abrams wreaked havoc on the basepaths, swiping three bases in a game for the third time this season. The 23-year-old entered Sunday's contest mired in an 0-for-14 slump with five strikeouts over his past four games, part of a rough August in which he has batted .189 with four extra-base hits and five stolen bases in 15 games. The young shortstop has put together a well-rounded season despite his recent struggles, batting .248 with 17 home runs, 59 RBI, 71 runs scored and 25 steals in 115 games played.

Edwards went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mets.

Edwards continues to dominate on the basepaths, notching his eighth theft over his past seven games. The 25-year-old rookie has only one extra-base hit during that span, but his lofty .441 OBP has given him plenty of baserunning opportunities. Edwards is up to 21 steals in 23 attempts this season, slashing .350/.435/.427 with 24 runs scored and an impressive 26:29 BB:K in 43 games.

Kim is set to undergo an MRI on his shoulder after the team returns to San Diego, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Kim was also spotted in a sling after the game, which paints a different picture than the team's initial diagnosis of a jammed shoulder. There should be more clarity about his timeline to return to the lineup late Sunday or Monday.

Kim exited Sunday's game against the Rockies due to a jammed right shoulder.

Kim suffered the injury while diving back into first base in the third inning and immediately left the game. It doesn't sound as if the injury is serious, though the Padres have not given a timeline for Kim's return.

Kim was removed from Sunday's game against the Rockies due to an apparent right shoulder injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Kim singled to start off the third inning but sustained an injury while diving back into first base, and he promptly exited the contest. The specifics of the injury are unclear, and the 28-year-old should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.

Tovar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Tovar started the previous 24 games but will sit Sunday while in the midst of a 3-for-19 slump. Aaron Schunk will take over at shortstop and bat ninth in the series finale versus San Diego.

Winn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers.

Winn has homered in back-to-back games against the Dodgers, and he's up to four long balls over 14 contests in August. The shortstop is batting .259 (15-for-58) over that span. For the season, he's at a .277/.327/.423 slash line with 11 homers, 43 RBI, 59 runs scored and 10 stolen bases through 114 games.

Rocchio is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

David Fry pinch hit for Rocchio in the eighth inning of Saturday's 2-1 loss against Milwaukee, with the latter finishing the contest 0-for-2. Daniel Schneemann will start at shorstop Sunday and bat eighth against Brewers right-hander Colin Rea.

Jimenez (knee) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Jimenez injured his knee in the first inning of Saturday's contest against the Cubs and did not return following the rain delay. Ernie Clement and Spencer Horwitz will start at shortstop and second base, respectively, in Sunday's series finale.

Wilson (hamstring) started at designated hitter in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Oklahoma City on Saturday and went 2-for-3 with a run.

Wilson took the first three plate appearances of the game out of the leadoff spot before being lifted for a pinch hitter. The rookie shortstop may have a chance to play at least a partial game on defense in his next appearance for Las Vegas as he continues to test his previously injured hamstring.
