Hoerner went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's 10-0 win over the Brewers.

While other Chicago players have had splashier stat lines during the team's 20-13 start to the season, Hoerner has been a steady performer with a .289 batting average and six stolen bases across 29 games. The infielder has two multi-hit efforts over his last three contests and at least one hit in four of his last five appearances.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that the decision to keep Tawa on the major-league roster following the activation of Ketel Marte from the 10-day injured list was a "no-brainer," Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Tawa was the primary fill-in at second base while Marte was on the IL, but the rookie opened Friday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies on the bench, as expected. Tawa eventually pinch hit for Alek Thomas in the ninth inning. Marte, who is coming back from a hamstring injury, isn't yet ready to play second base on an everyday basis, so Tawa will fill in on the days when Marte serves as the designated hitter or gets held out for rest. Tawa, who has batted .190/.304/.483 with five home runs and two steals over his first 19 big-league games, could also be an option at third base and in center field.

Marte went 1-for-4 in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies.

Marte was activated off the 10-day injured earlier in the day and was in the lineup at second base and leading off against a left-hander. The initial plan for Marte, who is coming off a hamstring injury, is to see time in the field and at designated hitter, but at either spot he should bat first or second in the order.

Lopez was removed from Friday's game against the Athletics due to right ankle discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Lopez left the game in the second inning before making a plate appearance. It's currently unknown if he's dealing with any structural damage, but the Marlins should provide an update once they take a closer look at him.

Edman (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

Edman didn't play Wednesday after tweaking his right ankle Tuesday against the Marlins and had an additional day of rest with the Dodgers off Thursday. However, he's still not feeling well enough to play, so Miguel Rojas will handle second base in the series opener. Edman worked out pregame Friday, and he and the Dodgers are optimistic that he'll be ready to return to the lineup Saturday, per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports.

The Diamondbacks activated Marte (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Marte will skip a rehab assignment and go directly back onto the active roster after missing nearly a month of action with a strained left hamstring. The 31-year-old had slashed .346/.469/.462 in his first eight contests before getting hurt.

Tawa went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Mets.

Tawa gave the Diamondbacks a two-run cushion in the top of the ninth inning with his fifth home run. After swatting 32 home runs in two minor-league stops in 2024, Tawa has a combined eight through 25 games for Triple-A Reno and Arizona this season. It should be noted that Ketel Marte (hamstring) is with the D-backs on their road trip and could be activated for the weekend series in Philadelphia. Marte's return means fewer opportunities for Tawa and Garrett Hampson.

Cronenworth (ribs) has been cleared for all baseball activity and began taking live at-bats at the Padres' spring complex Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Cronenworth has been on the injured list since April 11 due to a non-displaced right rib fracture, and while he hasn't fully healed, the infielder could return to action before that occurs. It's not yet clear how long Cronenworth will need to ramp back up, and he may need at least a brief minor-league rehab stint before returning to the big club, but he could be back with San Diego within the next few weeks. While Cronenworth has been out, Jose Iglesias has been getting the bulk of the starts at second base.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, two steals and one run scored in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Phillies.

Garcia gave the Nationals a two-run lead in the sixth inning, when his single to left field brought Keibert Ruiz home. The second baseman proceeded to steal second base, advanced to third on a passed ball and then took home on a double steal. Garcia has reached base safely in seven straight games, and over that span he has gone 9-for-25 (.360) with three stolen bases, three runs scored, one home run and two RBI.

Amador isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Despite going 4-for-11 in his last three games, Amador will sit down for the third time in the last five days against Justin Verlander and the Giants. Kyle Farmer will fill in at second base and bat seventh.
