Turner went 3-for-3 with three runs scored and two walks in Friday's 13-9 loss to the Rockies.

Turner did well to keep the line moving, reaching on all five of his plate appearances in the contest. The third baseman is hitting .306/.389/.459 over 75 games this season, adding nine homers, 32 RBI and 42 runs scored.

Blackmon went 3-for-4 with an RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Friday's 13-9 win over the Dodgers.

All three of the right fielder's hits were singles, including his RBI single to cap an eight-run fifth inning. Blackmon also established an MLB record by recording at least three hits in six straight home games, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. Blackmon's been a beast at Coors Field this season, entering the game with a .458/.507/.992 line in 27 home games, including 14 homers and six triples.

Ozuna suffered injuries to his third and fourth fingers on his right hand Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The team plans to evaluate him again Saturday to determine the extent and severity of the injuries. He was was picked off first base in the third inning and must have suffered the injuries diving back to the base. Ozuna went 0-for-2 (reaching on a fielder's choice) before exiting. Jose Martinez, Harrison Bader and Dexter Fowler would likely see more consistent playing time if Ozuna ends up missing time.

Carpenter is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.

No injury has been reported with Carpenter, but he will be held out for a second straight game despite a team off day Thursday, so there is at least some reason for concern about his status. Timmy Edman will man the hot corner and hit leadoff in Carpenter's place.

Belt will hit leadoff in Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, according to Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News.

Belt is hitting just .203 in June, but he also owns a .380 OBP this month and a .355 OBP on the season, which has led manager Bruce Bochy to give him a shot at or near the top of the order of late. Belt will hit leadoff Friday for the third time in four games, and he hit out of the second spot in the other contest.

Winker is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Cubs.

Winker has an .882 OPS in June but will head to the bench Friday with left-hander Cole Hamels on the mound for the Cubs. Phillip Ervin will start in left field and bat seventh in his absence.

Belt went 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Belt hit his 10th long ball of the season, this time off rookie starter Alex Young in the fourth inning. Unfortunately, the run was the first and last of the night for the Giants. The 31-year-old has now reached base safely in eight straight games to improve his line to .270/.354/.528 with 39 runs scored and 31 RBI.

Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, two RBI and a run scored during Thursday's 12-8 loss to the Dodgers.

Blackmon doubled in his first at-bat and later added a two-run triple, with another base hit sandwiched in between. He came in with just two hits in his last 17 at-bats, but he's a much stronger hitter at home and displayed his affinity for Coors Field once again in this one. Blackmon will face a tough matchup in the second game of the series against Hyun-Jin Ryu on Friday.

Harper went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Mets.

Harper took Zack Wheeler deep in the sixth frame for his 14th homer of the season. Though he has a disappointing .465 slugging percentage through 353 plate appearances, he now has four extra-base hits in his last six starts. It's worth noting that all of that damage has come with the Phillies at home, where Harper has hit significantly better to this point in the campaign.

Dickerson is not in Thursday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Dickerson has started six straight games since joining the Giants last week, slashing .429/.500/.857 with one home run, 10 RBI and a stolen base during that stretch. In his absence, Tyler Austin is starting in the outfield and hitting third.
