Harper left Sunday's game in the third inning with a hand injury, Dan Kolko of the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network reports.

Harper seemed to hurt his hand while sliding into third base on a triple. After the slide, he stayed in and scored a run, but he was pulled from the outfield shortly after. Upon his departure, Harper was replaced by Chris Heisey in right field. More details regarding the severity of Harper's injury should be available in the near future.

Belt is not in the lineup for Sunday's outing against San Diego.

Buster Posey will take over at first base while Belt gets his first game off since Sept. 13. The Giants have Monday off, so look for Belt to return to action Tuesday when San Francisco hosts the Rockies.

Pederson is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

With the left-handed Tyler Anderson set to take the mound for Colorado, Pederson will have the day off. Enrique Hernandez will head to center field and start in place of Pederson.

Miller went 1-for-3 with a two-run double and run in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox.

The slugging infielder continues to serve as an RBI machine, with the pair of runs he drove in Saturday getting him to 80 on the season. Miller plated Curt Casali and Kevin Kiermaier with his third-inning two-bagger, erasing an early 1-0 deficit. He now has a five-game hit streak, as well as 15 RBI overall in September.

Turner went 3-for-3 with two RBI, two runs, a stolen base and two walks in a 14-1 victory over the Rockies on Saturday.

The third baseman is 5-for-6 the last two nights since sitting out Thursday. He has multiple hits in three of his last five games. Turner is hitting .274 with 27 home runs, 89 RBI, 75 runs and four steals in 533 at-bats this season.

Martinez went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI singles in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Royals.

The slugging outfielder brought home Cameron Maybin with both of his run-scoring hits, plating him to tie the score at 1-1 in the third and then driving him in to extend the Tigers' lead to 4-2 in the sixth. Martinez has three RBI over the last two games and is now hitting .269 (21-for-78) with three doubles, two homers and 11 RBI in September.

Dickerson is out of the lineup Saturday against the Giants.

After the call-ups of Manuel Margot and Hunter Renfroe, the Padres are going to really spread around the outfield playing time over the final nine days of the season. Jon Jay will start in left field and hit second Saturday.

McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a triple, two walks and a run in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning victory over the Nationals.

The veteran slugger has salvaged his season in the second half and is now slashing .318/.406/.612 with six homers and 18 RBI in 85 September at-bats. That tally includes four straight multihit efforts and a current 11-game hitting streak for McCutchen, who has also eclipsed the 20-homer mark for the sixth straight season.

Harper went 3-for-6 with a double in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Pirates.

The slugger's multihit effort was his first since Sep. 6, a testament to how lackluster his month has been at the plate overall. Harper has slashed .203/.333/.297 over 64 September at-bats with only one homer and seven RBI, following an August where he managed a stellar .310/.398/.536 line and drove in 19 runs.

Soler (side) is in the lineup Saturday against the Cardinals, Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald reports.

Soler hasn't been in the lineup in more than a week, missing five straight games with discomfort in his side before serving as a pinch hitter in Friday's win over St. Louis. He'll return to the field Saturday, starting in left field and batting seventh.
