Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that he expects Stewart (foot) will be out for approximately three weeks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Stewart landed on the 15-day IL earlier in the day due to a left foot bone spur. Given the estimated recovery timeline, Stewart will be on the shelf until at least late May, though it's unclear whether he'll need to go on a rehab assignment before rejoining the Dodgers.

Peterson will operate in a bulk-relief role in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

As was the case in the Mets' 4-2 win over the Rockies this past Monday, Huascar Brazoban will serve as the team's opener. Peterson took the mound after Brazoban and Austin Warren in Monday's contest and ended up picking up the win after allowing two runs on three hits and no walks while striking out six across four frames. Peterson has yielded two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four outings but still sits at a 6.29 ERA and 1.60 WHIP across 34.1 innings this season.

Brazoban will serve as the Mets' opening pitcher for Sunday's series finale against the Diamondbacks, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Brazoban operated as the Mets' opener against the Rockies this past Monday, when he tossed one scoreless inning before handing things off to Austin Warren and David Peterson, the latter of whom was credited with the win. The Mets will likely go with a similar setup for Sunday's contest, with Peterson expected to serve in a bulk-relief role after Brazoban is done for the day. Brazoban sports a 1.53 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB across 17.2 innings this season, though he's given up one earned run in three of his last six outings that has spanned seven frames.

Betts (oblique) will travel back to Los Angeles on Sunday and could be activated from the 10-day injured list Monday ahead of the Dodgers' four-game home series against the Giants, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Betts was cleared to embark on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday. He's gone 2-for-5 with a walk and a run scored across two minor-league outings, and it looks like the veteran shortstop has progressed enough in his recovery from a right oblique strain to return to the Dodgers. When Betts is activated off the IL, Hyeseong Kim and Miguel Rojas both stand to lose out on playing time.

Wood went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Marlins.

Wood led off the game with a 442-foot blast and was a consistent contributor in a losing effort. Over his past 10 games, the 23-year-old has posted four multi-hit performances, five extra-base hits, eight runs scored and seven RBI. For the year, he's slashing .243/.395/.526 with 11 homers, 28 RBI, 35 runs scored and seven steals across 190 plate appearances.

Turner went 4-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.

Turner swiped his first bag since April 21 and logged his second four-hit effort of 2026. The veteran shortstop has been a bit underwhelming so far this year, as his .655 OPS for the year is on pace to easily be a career worst. Turner should still see plenty of run-scoring chances as Philadelphia's primary leadoff man, and he's batting .244 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 24 runs scored and four stolen bases across 164 at-bats.

Marsee went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Nationals.

Marsee came up clutch Saturday, breaking a 4-4 tie with a three-run blast off Mitchell Parker in the bottom of the eighth inning. It was a much-needed swing from the 24-year-old, who last homered April 21 and entered the contest just 4-for-25 so far in the month of May. Overall, he's slashing a disappointing .178/.297/.274 with two home runs, 13 RBI and 21 runs scored across 173 plate appearances, but he's still provided some fantasy value with 10 steals on the campaign.

Norby went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Nationals.

Norby was a spark plug Saturday, notching his second two-steal effort of the campaign and scoring both times he reached base. For the season, the 25-year-old is slashing .233/.343/.379 with three homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and four steals across 137 plate appearances while primarily splitting time between first base and designated hitter.

Littell did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Marlins, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and one walk without recording a strikeout over four innings.

Littell entered with a 4-0 lead but was unimpressive behind the opener, generating just two swinging strikes on 69 pitches and failing to register a strikeout for the first time this season. While the 30-year-old is not known for his ability to get whiffs, he's now induced just three total punchouts over his last four outings while working in bulk relief during his past two. He owns an ugly 6.94 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 17:13 K:BB across 36.1 innings so far in 2026. Should Littell draw a start in his next appearance, it would likely come at home against Baltimore next weekend.

Bohm went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and four RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.

It was Bohm's fifth career multi-homer game and his first of 2026. The 29-year-old third baseman, who hit eighth in the lineup, is still off to a dreadful start overall, batting .177 with three homers, four doubles and 19 RBI over 130 at-bats, but Saturday's showing was a significant step forward for him as he tries to work his way back up Philadelphia's batting order. The four RBI on Saturday were a season high as well.
