Pederson will not start Wednesday against the Padres, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

While Padres opener Adrian Morejon may not pitch deep into the game, the Dodgers will nevertheless sit Pederson against the lefty. Chris Taylor takes over in left field.

Vogelbach went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk en route to four RBI and three runs scored during the Brewers' 18-3 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Vogelbach contributed his first home run in a Brewers uniform. After swatting a home run nearly every 15 at-bats as a Mariner last season, Tuesday marked merely his third through 83 at-bats in 2020. However, since being claimed off waivers on Sept. 3, Vogelbach has 12 hits in eight appearances for Milwaukee, so the change of scenery appears to have suited him.

Turner (hamstring) went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Padres.

Turner's first game back from an injured-list stint was a big success. He plated Mookie Betts with an RBI single in the first inning. Turner got on base with another single in the third and came around to score on a Cody Bellinger single. The 35-year-old Turner served as the designated hitter Tuesday, but he should take some playing time from Edwin Rios at third base going forward. Turner has two homers, 21 RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base in 33 games this season.

Carpenter will start at third base and bat seventh Tuesday against the Brewers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The 34-year-old was originally absent from Tuesday's lineup against southpaw Brett Anderson, but he'll join the starting nine in place of Kolten Wong (undisclosed). Carpenter is 9-for-34 with an .890 OPS through 14 games in September.

Carpenter is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Carpenter had gone 6-for-12 at the plate over a four-game stretch before going hitless in both halves of Monday's doubleheader. Tommy Edman moves in to third base in his absence, with Rangel Ravelo starting in right field.

Winker (back) returns to the lineup Tuesday against the Pirates, batting sixth as the designated hitter.

Winker had been sidelined since leaving Thursday's game against the Cubs with a tight back. His return should be a boost to the Reds' lineup, as he hit a strong .276/.400/.569 with 10 homers in 150 plate appearances prior to the injury.

Turner (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list as expected Tuesday, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

The third baseman had been out since late August with a strained hamstring. His .794 OPS in 32 games prior to the injury would be his lowest mark since 2013, though it's still a respectable number. He should fill a near-everyday role upon his return, though the Dodgers can afford to be cautious with the oft-injured veteran with their playoff spot already nearly secured. Josh Sborz was optioned in a corresponding move.

Turner (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in San Diego, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

It was reported earlier in the day that Turner may be ready for a Tuesday return, and manager Dave Roberts confirmed this report following Monday's contest. Turner has been dealing with a hamstring injury for the last two weeks.

McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Marlins.

McCutchen led the game off with a homer off Pablo Lopez, but it wound up being the only blood the Phillies would draw off the right-hander. The long ball was the outfielder's seventh of the season and it also gave him his 29th RBI.

Turner (hamstring) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Turner has been on the injured list for two weeks to allow him time to fully recover from a left hamstring strain. However, manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Turner could potentially return to action Tuesday as the designated hitter. The 35-year-old had a .384 OBP with 10 extra-base hits and 20 RBI prior to his injury.
