Gorman is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Arizona, Bally Sports Midwest reports.

Gormon is in the midst of a six-game hit streak during which he's gone 8-for-24 with a home run, three doubles, five RBI and eight runs, but he'll take a seat Friday with southpaw Tommy Henry pitching for the Diamondbacks. Albert Pujols will bat fifth as the designated hitter in the series opener.

Estrada is not in Friday's lineup against the Rockies.

Wilmer Flores gets the nod at the keystone while Brandon Crawford starts at shortstop. Estrada is hitting .300 with two home runs and one steal in 40 at-bats this month.

Marte (hamstring) is not in Friday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Marte left Sunday's game with a hamstring injury and appeared Wednesday as a pinch hitter. He is hitting .213/.275/.255 with zero home runs and zero steals in 13 games this month.

Peguero has slashed just .222/.283/.292 with three home runs, eight steals and a 12:39 BB:K through 46 games since being optioned back to Double-A Altoona.

He wasn't exactly lighting up the Eastern League before his June cup of coffee in the majors, but Peguero has had a lot of trouble producing since making his return to Double-A. Though the 21-year-old shortstop has good speed and a bit of pop, the latter has hardly shown up this year. On the bright side, he has actually trimmed his strikeout rate a bit compared to last season.

Hoerner is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Brewers.

Hoerner will get a breather after he batted .356 with a homer, six RBI, four runs and two stolen bases while starting the last 12 games. Christopher Morel will take over at shortstop and bat ninth in the series opener.

Bae (oblique) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Bae sustained an oblique strain in late July and has been kept off the field since then. He's expected to be eased into action as the designated hitter, but he'll be available once again after slashing .300/.367/.453 with eight homers, 59 runs, 41 RBI and 20 stolen bases over 83 games to begin the year.

Kim went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, a run and four RBI in a 10-3 victory against Miami on Wednesday.

The Padres scored five runs in the first inning, with the fifth among that tally coming on a Kim double that scored Trent Grisham. Kim also produced the final three runs of the contest with a bases-clearing double in the ninth. The shortstop has three multi-hit performances over his past five contests to push his season batting average to .255. He's slashing .310/.344/.483 with eight doubles and nine RBI through 16 games in August.

Marte (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Marte entered as a pinch hitter in Wednesday's contest, but he is not ready for a full nine innings just yet. Josh Rojas will again man the keystone for the Diamondbacks.

Urias is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

Mike Brosseau started at third base the last four times a left-hander opened on the mound for the opponent, and he will do the same Thursday. Urias is hitting just .156 (7-for-45) in August, so a day off could do him some good.

Marte (hamstring) entered Wednesday's game as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-1 in a 3-2 win over the Giants.

Marte pinch hit for Alek Thomas in the seventh but did not play the field beyond that plate appearance, as Daulton Varsho replaced Thomas in center field. Marte's appearance as a pinch hitter suggests his hamstring injury is a minor one, and he could return to the starting lineup before the end of the week.
