  • Ketel Marte 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Stays hot in win

    Marte went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 11-10 win over Atlanta.

    Marte launched a solo homer in the eighth inning, and then added an RBI and scored during Arizona's seven-run comeback in the ninth. The 31-year-old went deep three times in the series against Atlanta and has now hit safely in 14 of his past 15 games. On the season, he's slashing .299/.422/.606 with 11 home runs, 19 RBI, 30 runs and two stolen bases across 154 plate appearances.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Rejoins starting nine

    Edman (ankle) will start at second base and bat sixth during Thursday's game against the Mets, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Manager Dave Roberts revealed Wednesday that Edman tweaked his ankle a few days ago, but the 30-year-old now seems to be fully recovered. Edman has been on a bit of a hot streak at the plate recently, going 8-for-27 with a home run, three RBI and seven runs scored across his last seven games.

    Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Delivers big run

    Marte went 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

    Marte drove in a run in the top of the ninth inning to make is a 2-0 game, and that run was needed when Justin Martinez walked three and hit a batter in the bottom of the frame to let in a run. Marte is up to 17 RBI for the season with 16 of them coming in the last 22 games.

  • Tim Tawa 2B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Doubles, scores in win

    Tawa went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

    Tawa doubled in the ninth inning and scored Arizona's second run on a Ketel Marte single. It was an important run the team needed, as closer Justin Martinez allowed a run in the bottom of the frame. Since Marte returned from the injured list in early May, forcing Tawa into a part-time role as a fill-in outfielder against left-handers, the rookie has handled the transition well. He's batting .271 (13-for-48) with four extra-base hits, four RBI, four steals and five runs over 19 games in the part-time role.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Battling ankle injury

    Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Edman tweaked his ankle a few days ago, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Edman hasn't started a game since Monday but still managed to play during Tuesday's contest, going 0-for-2 and scoring a run. Roberts said the 30-year-old is currently considered day-to-day, though Esteury Ruiz is on the team's taxi squad in case a move to the IL becomes necessary.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Edman is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Mets on Wednesday.

    Edman is out of the lineup for a second straight game, with Enrique Hernandez starting at the keystone and batting ninth. Edman has gone 9-for-37 with one steal, eight runs scored, one home run and three RBI over his last 10 games.

  • Edmundo Sosa 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Moves back to reserve role

    Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Sosa made five straight starts to close out last week, but he's moved back into a reserve role for the first two games of the Phillies' series in Toronto with Bryce Harper returning to the lineup Tuesday after missing time due to a bruised elbow. With Philadelphia back to full strength, Sosa is expected to see most of his starting opportunities against left-handed pitching moving forward as a replacement at second base for Bryson Stott.

  • Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Getting Wednesday off

    Gonzales is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    Gonzales appears to be getting a pre-planned rest day after he made his return from the 60-day injured list Tuesday. Playing for the Pirates for the first time since Opening Day after completing his recovery from a non-displaced fractured left ankle, Gonzales went 1-for-3 at the dish in Pittsburgh's 3-0 loss in the series opener. Adam Frazier will get the nod at second base Wednesday, but Gonzales should see the bulk of the playing time at the position now that he's healthy again.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Idle Wednesday

    Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Garcia has started in each of the last seven games, and the Cubs are sending a left-hander (Matthew Boyd) to the hill, so Nationals manager Dave Martinez likely decided it was an ideal time to give the second baseman a night off. Nasim Nunez will cover the keystone in Garcia's stead.

  • Giants' Christian Koss: Sent to Triple-A

    The Giants optioned Koss to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Koss has slashed just .219/.275/.266 this season and had seen limited playing time recently. He should see more regular reps at Sacramento as a utility infielder.
