Kim (knee) isn't starting Friday against the Yankees.

Kim had to be helped off the field Thursday after he fouled a ball off his left knee. Although his X-rays came back negative, the Padres won't rush him back into action. He'll be replaced at second base by Jake Cronenworth, allowing Brandon Dixon to start at first base and bat seventh.

Trejo went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a steal in Thursday's victory over Miami.

He got the Rockies on the board in the fourth inning, driving in Randal Grichuk with two outs. Trejo would later walk to lead off the seventh inning before swiping his third stolen base of the year. The 26-year-old infielder's gone just 2-for-19 over his last seven games while playing sparingly. He's now slashing .231/.260/.286 with 11 RBI and eight runs scored through 97 plate appearances this season.

Estrada went 0-for-5 with a stolen base in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Brewers.

Estrada got on base with a fielder's choice in the first inning and stole second, but that was the extent of his production. He entered Thursday on a nine-game hitting streak (12-for-39). The second baseman leads the Giants with 13 steals this season while slashing .301/.345/.466 with six home runs, 17 RBI and 30 runs scored in a near-everyday role through 47 contests.

McNeil went 3-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Thursday's 10-1 win over the Cubs.

McNeil has collected five multi-hit efforts over his last 10 games, though he had gone hitless in the last two contests. The second baseman also picked up his third steal of the season in the fifth inning before scoring on an error. He's batting a reliable .291, but he's added a modest .738 OPS with two home runs, 16 RBI and 22 runs scored through 51 games. He remains a reliable contact hitter with little pop.

X-rays on Kim's left knee came back negative, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Kim was carted off the field during Thursday's game against the Yankees after fouling a ball off his knee. Manager Bob Melvin said Kim is still likely to miss at least Friday's game, but that he may be able to avoid a stint on the injured list. Rougned Odor is the primary candidate to draw the start at second base with right-hander Grayson Rodriguez on the mound Friday.

Miller is hitting leadoff Thursday night against the Giants.

Miller will serve as the tablesetter for the Brewers as they face a string of Giants relievers, beginning with left-handed opener Scott Alexander. Miller, 26, has posted a tremendous .400 batting average and 1.103 OPS over his last 62 plate appearances dating back to May 3.

Kim had to be carried off the field during Thursday's game against the Nationals after fouling a ball off his left knee, Bob Scanlan of Bally Sports San Diego reports.

No details have been officially released yet, but early signs point toward Kim missing at least a few days. If he is forced to sit out, Rougned Odor and Brandon Dixon figure to see an increased share of at-bats.

Gorman went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and a run during Thursday's 2-1 win against the Reds.

The 23-year-old delivered the first run of the contest with an RBI double during the eighth inning, and he came around to score on a wild pitch after stealing third base. The late double extended Gorman's hit streak to 15 games, and he's batting .377 with five doubles, six homers, 17 RBI and 12 runs during that stretch.

Arraez (leg) is absent from the lineup Thursday at Colorado.

Arraez was pulled from Wednesday's contest because of a left leg cramp. It's believed to be a minor issue, but he'll be out of the lineup for at least one game. Xavier Edwards will start at second base and bat ninth for the Marlins on Thursday afternoon against the Rockies and left-hander Kyle Freeland.

Kim went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Nationals.

He took Trevor Williams deep in the fifth inning to get the Padres within a run, and he likely would have collected another hit in the seventh if Carl Edwards hadn't snared his scorching line drive back up the middle in pure self-defense. Kim has hit safely in six straight games, and through 19 contests in May he's slashing a solid .273/.338/.445 with three of his five homers on the year.
