Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Edman (ankle) has been able to take part in baseball activities and remains likely to return from the 10-day injured list at some point in early September, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Edman is further away from a return from the IL than fellow utility players Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) and Enrique Hernandez (elbow), both of whom are set to begin rehab assignments with Triple-A Oklahoma City this week. A clearer timeline for Edman's return should emerge once he's cleared for a rehab assignment, which could happen soon after he reaches the point in his recovery program that he's able to run the bases without any restrictions. Edman was placed on the IL on Aug. 4 due to a right ankle sprain, the same ankle that he had previously injured earlier in the season.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Kim (shoulder) will report to Triple-A Oklahoma City this week to begin a rehab assignment, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Roberts confirmed that Kim would be ready to test out his left shoulder in a game setting after the rookie was able to take live batting practice Sunday without issue. Kim, who has been on the injured list since July 29 while recovering from shoulder bursitis, could be ready to rejoin the Dodgers at some point in the final week of August if all goes well during his rehab assignment. Once he's activated from the IL, Kim could settle in as the Dodgers' primary second baseman in the short term, as Tommy Edman (ankle) isn't expected to be ready to return to action until at least early September.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Hernandez (elbow) took part in batting practice Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Hernandez had been able to take part in baseball activities for more than a week, but being able to take at-bats against live pitching is especially notable, given that swinging the bat had been presenting the most discomfort for him while he attempted to play through his left elbow injury before landing on the shelf July 7. According to Sonja Chen of MLB.com, Hernandez is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City this week, potentially setting the utility player up for a return from the 10-day injured list before the end of August.

Olson went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

It was his first steal of 2025, and only his second in four seasons with Atlanta. Olson is racking up plenty of hits in August, batting .290 (18-for-62) over 16 games, but he's managed just one homer and four RBI over that span. The first baseman's .449 SLG on the year would be the lowest mark of his career over a full season.

Horwitz went 1-for-5 with a double and an RBI on Sunday against the Cubs.

Horwitz snapped a brief three-game hitless streak with an RBI double in the third inning to tie the game at 1-1. He has had an inconsistent season as the Pirates' primary first baseman, but he has hit .295 with three home runs, 18 RBI and 13 runs scored across 27 games since the All-Star break.

Agnos (elbow) said that he hopes to resume playing catch Monday, MLB.com reports.

Agnos has been shut down from throwing since landing on the injured list July 27 due to right flexor strain, but he appears to be close to taking the first notable step forward in his recovery process. As a reliever, Agnos won't require an extended build-up period once he starts throwing, but he still appears unlikely to rejoin the Colorado bullpen before the end of August.

Bart went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Sunday against the Cubs.

Bart saw his playing time slip for much of July, but he has mostly alternated starts with Henry Davis since Aug. 4. In eight games since, Bart has gone 6-for-24 with two doubles, one home run and four RBI. He delivered a two-RBI double in the sixth inning Sunday to briefly give the Pirates the lead.

King (oblique) tossed a scoreless inning Saturday in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Memphis, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

As long as he bounces back well, King should be activated from the 15-day injured list at some point during the Cardinals' Aug. 18-to-24 road trip. The lefty reliever has been sidelined since late July with a left oblique strain.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Rays.

Devers singled in the sixth inning before coming around to score and added another base hit in the seventh. With that, the 28-year-old delivered his third multi-hit performance over 15 appearances in August. He has tallied at least one hit in six consecutive games, slashing .269/.269/.423 with two runs scored, one home run and one double across 26 plate appearances during that span.

Lee went 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Rays.

Lee lined a double to right field in the first inning, marking his sixth consecutive game with at least one hit. During that span, he's slashing .333/.364/.476 with two runs scored, two stolen bases, a triple and a double in 22 plate appearances. The 26-year-old outfielder has been productive in August, during which he has recorded a .339/.373/.518 slash line with 10 runs scored, six doubles, three RBI, three stolen bases, two triples and a 2:6 BB:K across 59 plate appearances in 15 games.
