Trea Turner SS | PHI
Phillies' Trea Turner: Dealing with hamstring strain
Turner was removed from Sunday's game against the Marlins due to a right hamstring strain, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
The veteran shortstop suffered the injury during the seventh inning while running to first base, and he exited the contest after reaching on an error. Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run prior to departing, but his availability for the playoff push is now in question due to the injury.

Adrian Del Castillo DH | ARI
Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: Idle against right-hander
Del Castillo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Del Castillo had started in each of the Diamondbacks' previous three matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he'll hit the bench Sunday against the Red Sox's Brayan Bello. With Del Castillo taking a seat, Ketel Marte will serve as Arizona's designated hitter, which opens up a spot in the infield for Jordan Lawlar.

Joey Wentz SP | ATL
Braves' Joey Wentz: Implodes vs. Mariners
Wentz (5-6) took the loss Sunday against the Mariners, allowing eight runs on eight hits and a walk across 2.1 innings. He struck out two.
It was a rough day for Wentz, who's now given up 19 runs in just 16.1 innings over his last four starts. Overall, the left-hander sports a 5.12 ERA with a 1.31 WHIP and 49 strikeouts across 51 innings with Atlanta this year. Wentz will look to get on track in his next outing, tentatively scheduled to come next week at home against the Astros.

Jose Iglesias SS | SD
Padres' Jose Iglesias: On bench for third straight vs. RHP
Iglesias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Iglesias will hit the bench while Jake Cronenworth shifts over from shortstop to make his first start at shortstop since the 2022 season. With Xander Bogaerts (foot) out indefinitely, the Padres could prioritize offense over defense by phasing out Iglesias and leaning more heavily on Cronenworth and Luis Arraez in the middle infield, which would open up a regular spot in the lineup for the hot-hitting Gavin Sheets. Iglesias had already sat out the Padres' previous two matchups against right-handed starters, though San Diego went with Mason McCoy rather than Cronenworth at shortstop in both of those contests.
