Turang went 2-for-4 with one steal in Tuesday's loss against the Rockies.

Turang entered Tuesday with one hit in his previous 18 at-bats. In his first plate appearance, he singled and swiped second for his fourth steal of the season. He did strike out with the tying run on third in the ninth to end the game, but he's now sporting a .603 OPS following Tuesday's production.

Estrada went 2-for-3 with one run scored and one steal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Astros.

Estrada got the Giants out to a hot start as he singled, stole second and came around to score in the first inning. He was cut down trying to swipe another bag in the fourth inning. The middle infielder has been spectacular in 2023 with a .902 OPS and nine stolen bases.

Stott will bat fifth for the Phillies on Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Stott has been occupying the leadoff spot against both righties and lefties over the last couple of weeks, but the reigning NL champs will switch things up Tuesday at Dodger Stadium as they welcome Bryce Harper (elbow) back into the fold. Kyle Schwarber is at the top of the order with lefty Julio Urias on the mound for Los Angeles. Trea Turner will hit second and Harper is batting third.

Diaz is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Mariners, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Diaz has seen consistent playing time since being brought up from Triple-A Las Vegas, but he'll begin Tuesday's contest against Bryce Miller and the Mariners on the bench. Tony Kemp is playing second base and hitting eighth while Jace Peterson hits fifth and plays third.

Gorman isn't starting Tuesday against the Angels, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

With the left-handed Patrick Sandoval starting for Los Angeles, Gorman will begin Tuesday's game in the dugout. Willson Contreras will take over as St. Louis' designated hitter, and Andrew Knizner will start behind the plate while batting eighth.

Donovan isn't starting Tuesday against the Angels, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

With southpaw Patrick Sandoval slated to start the game for Los Angeles, the left-swinging Donovan will take a seat to begin Tuesday's contest. He'll be replaced at second base by Tommy Edman, allowing Paul DeJong to start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Altuve (thumb) fielded grounders pregame at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

It appears to be the first bit of baseball activity Altuve has performed since he had surgery in late March to repair a fractured right thumb. Altuve is also slated to be examined by the doctor Tuesday to gauge his progress. Based on how that visit goes, we might get a clearer picture on his timetable.

Bae is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rays.

Bae recorded his 11th steal of the season in Sunday's series finale against the Nationals, but Mark Mathias will get the start at second base as the Pirates open a three-game set Tuesday at Tampa Bay. It's a bullpen day for the Rays, so Bae probably will appear off the bench at some point.

The Marlins recalled Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Edwards will get his first taste of major-league action with the Marlins at age 23, likely operating in a utility role in Miami's infield. He had slashed .306/.427/.361 with zero home runs and seven stolen bases through 20 games (90 plate appearances) this season at the Triple-A level.

Dubon went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Giants.

Dubon was the driver of the Houston offense for most of Monday night, as he tallied RBI hits to tie the game and to give the team the lead in the fifth and seventh innings, respectively. He had been in a cold spell at the plate entering the contest, going just 6-for-29 with no RBI and four runs scored across his previous seven games. Overall, Dubon has still had an impressive start to the season, maintaining a .340 on-base percentage and tallying 40 runs across 106 plate appearances while regularly serving as the leadoff hitter.
