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.

Frazier is in the leadoff spot for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

It's the first time this season batting higher than fifth in the order for Frazier, who's coming into this one hitting .342/.357/.634 with three home runs over his last 11 games. The team's normal leadoff man against righties, Cedric Mullins, is getting a day off.

Haggerty went 1-for-3 with a two-run double, a walk and a run in an win over the Athletics on Wednesday.

The valued utility asset slotted into the No. 9 hole in place of Ty France (wrist) and delivered nicely, doubling home the first two runs of the game for Seattle in the fourth inning. Haggerty has scuffled at the plate all season and is carrying a .162 average and .478 OPS across his first 42 plate appearances, but the unusual combination of an especially low .222 BABIP and elevated 25.9 percent line-drive rate imply he's had his fair share of bad luck when putting the ball in play. With France potentially set to miss "a few days" per the team's official site, Haggerty could be in line for at least another spot start or two.

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.

Lowe (neck) is back in the starting lineup Thursday versus the Blue Jays, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Lowe sat out Tuesday and Wednesday because of a stiff neck, but he is good to go for Thursday afternoon's series finale at Tropicana Field. The 28-year-old second baseman is batting just .200 on the year but has managed to tally eight home runs and 24 RBI in 42 games. He'll hit cleanup for the Rays in his return Thursday.

Merrifield is not in the lineup Thursday in Tampa Bay, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

It's a rare day off for Merrifield, who had started 17 of the previous 18 contests. Cavan Biggio will cover second base.

Torres went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to the Orioles.

Both homers came off Baltimore starter Tyler Wells, helping give the Yankees a 5-1 lead that evaporated in the top of the seventh. Torres has three long balls in the last three games, giving him nine on the season, and through 22 contests in May he's slashing a strong .284/.343/.511.
