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.

Donovan went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 10-3 loss to the Reds.

He took Ben Lively deep in the fourth inning for his fourth homer of the year, but the Cardinals were already in a 5-0 hole at that point. Donovan remains an everyday player due to all the injuries in the St. Louis outfield, but his .217/.347/.333 slash line in May offers little fantasy appeal.

Arraez was removed from Wednesday's game against Colorado due to a left leg cramp, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The decision to pull Arraez was labeled as precautionary, so it's likely nothing serious for the 26-year-old infielder. He should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Mets.

Neither team generated a ton of offense, but Hoerner sparked the Cubs' win from the leadoff spot. The infielder is now batting .295 this season despite entering this game in a mini 1-for-11 slump, and he has scored 27 runs in 40 games. So long as Hoerner is healthy and sitting atop the order, he should continue to produce strong fantasy numbers the rest of the way.

Urias (hamstring) is beginning a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Nashville.

Urias will play third base and bat second for the Nashville Sounds in his first live game since he suffered a severe left hamstring strain back on Opening Day. He seems likely to be activated from the 60-day injured list in the early portion of the Brewers' upcoming road trip, which begins May 30 and runs through June 5.
