Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM Friday that the hope is Edman (wrist/ankle) will be ready for activation from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Acquired from the Cardinals at the trade deadline, Edman has been out all season recovering from wrist surgery and more recently an ankle sprain, but his Dodgers debut is on the horizon. Edman is 5-for-15 with one home run and a 1:3 K:BB in five rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City. He's expected to see the bulk of his action in center field for the Dodgers, but Edman also made a start at shortstop at OKC this week and offers the versatility to play multiple spots if needed.

Keith is "banged up a little bit" according to manager A.J. Hinch and is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

After starting seven consecutive games, Keith will get the night off to rest and recover. This late in the season, it's not abnormal for players to be dealing with minor aches and pains, as seems to be the case with Keith. Zach McKinstry will bat seventh and play second base for Friday's series opener.

Marte (ankle) is absent from the starting nine for Friday's game against the Rays.

Marte was diagnosed with a low-grade ankle sprain Tuesday and will spend Friday's series opener on the bench. The second baseman hasn't started and finished a game since Aug. 8, but the Diamondbacks don't believe he will require an IL stint. Blaze Alexander will bat ninth and play the keystone Friday. Per Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona, Marte said Friday that he's feeling better and could be in the lineup Saturday.

The Tigers selected Jung's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

The first-round pick is set to make his major-league debut after hitting .257/.377/.454 with 14 home runs and 60 RBI over 414 plate appearances this season with Toledo. A left-handed batter, Jung will be the Tigers' primary third baseman versus righties, but it's unclear whether the team also plans to play him regularly against southpaws.

The Angels designated Guillorme for assignment Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Guillorme slashed .231/.302/.298 with just three RBI in 50 games for the Angels. The veteran utility player will likely clear waivers given his $1.1 million salary, but he should be able to eventually latch on with another club looking for a versatile infielder.

Iglesias went 2-for-4 with a walk in Thursday's loss to the A's.

The veteran infielder got the start at second base and batted sixth, and he kept up the offensive production that has pushed him into a regular role. Even with Jeff McNeil turning things around at the plate, Iglesias has started eight of 13 games so far in August, batting .313 (10-for-32) with two doubles, three RBI and four runs. The lack of counting stats makes him tough to roster in shallower formats, however, and with Starling Marte (knee) potentially returning from the IL this weekend, Iglesias could find himself relegated to the short side of a platoon with McNeil at the keystone.

Turang went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run and two stolen bases in a 6-4 win over the Dodgers on Thursday.

Turang began the bottom of the first inning with a double and subsequently crossed the plate on Jackson Chourio's two-run homer. That wasn't the end of Turang's production, as he reached base two more times and stole a base in each instance. The second baseman began August in a 5-for-35 funk, but he's gone 3-for-5 with two walks and three thefts over his past two contests. His two swipes Thursday moved him back into second place in the majors with 36 steals on the campaign.

The Twins recalled Julien from Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Julien's presence as a second-base option could allow Willi Castro to play some in center field while Byron Buxton (hip) is sidelined. The 25-year-old Julien has slashed .204/.311/.354 with seven home runs and six stolen bases over 63 contests at the major-league level this season.

Turang went 1-for-2 with an RBI triple, a stolen base and a run scored while also drawing a walk in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.

Turang walked and stole second in his first trip to the plate before adding an RBI triple and also scoring a run in the second inning to tie the game 3-3. The shortstop had gone 0-for-11 over his last three starts before posting his third triple of the season in Wednesday's win. He's batting just .162 (6-for-37) since the start of August with two extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs scored, while the stolen base marked his 34th of the campaign.

Frazier went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Twins.

Frazier has gone 6-for-18 (.333) over eight games in August. He continues to fill a part-time role between second base and right field against right-handed pitchers. The veteran lifted his average back above the Mendoza Line at .205 with a .577 OPS, three home runs, 17 RBI, 26 runs scored and two stolen bases through 235 plate appearances this season.
