Seager (back) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Padres.

Seager was a full participant in pregame workouts Wednesday after working in the field Tuesday, but he'll continue to be held out of the lineup. No timetable has been established for his return, but he appears to be trending toward game readiness. The team could elect to use him as a designated hitter once he returns in order to ease him back into action. Chris Taylor will start at shortstop Wednesday, batting seventh.

Owings exited Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks with left hamstring tightness, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Owings was replaced in the field during the second inning as a precautionary measure. It's unclear how the injury occurred, but he'll be able to recover during the Rockies' off day Thursday. Whether he'll miss any time during the team's weekend series against Texas remains to be seen.

Arcia isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Twins.

Arcia recorded hits in each of the past two games, but he'll take a seat for the series finale against Minnesota. Eric Sogard will shift to shortstop as Brock Holt steps in at third base.

Seager (back) swung the bat, ran the bases, and fielded groundballs at shortstop Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Seager has been inching toward a return from a lower-back injury suffered in last Friday's contest against the Giants, so Tuesday's workout represents a tangible step in his aim to return to action. The Dodgers have yet to determine whether Seager will require a stint on the injured list. It stands to reason that the decision will be at least partly based on how the shortstop's back reacts to Tuesday's on-field work.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

He smacked the second pitch he saw from Rick Porcello -- an 89 mph fastball at the top of the strike zone -- the other way down the right-field line for a 356-foot homer. Turner has gone yard on consecutive nights, giving him three home runs on the year, but his .255/.288/.455 slash line -- as well as his 0-for-3 performance on steal attempts -- is still well below expectations.

Story went 2-for-5 with an RBI single, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Diamondbacks.

Story knocked in Garrett Hampson with a single in the eighth inning, then scored on a Charlie Blackmon double to ignite a six-run rally. Story also had a single and his fourth stolen base of the year in the fifth inning. The shortstop has hit safely in four straight games (6-for-17) with a homer, two steals, four RBI and six runs scored in that span.

Manager Dave Roberts said Seager (back) is in a "slow progression" in his recovery, but the team won't yet place him on the injured list, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 26-year-old was scratched from Friday's contest with lower-back discomfort and hasn't seen the field since, though he was able to run, take swings and play catch Monday. The team still isn't overly concerned by the injury given the avoidance of the injured list to this point, but it sounds as though it could be at least a couple more days until Seager returns to game action.

Seager (back) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Seager sits for the fourth straight day due to back soreness, though he was able to resume baseball activities Monday, so it seems as though he has a shot to return before too much longer. Chris Taylor will be the shortstop Tuesday.

Camargo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Phillies.

Getting the start at second base and hitting ninth, Camargo took Nick Pivetta deep for his second homer of the year as Atlanta mounted a late comeback attempt that fell well short -- they scored seven runs in the ninth, and still lost 13-8. Camargo has seen consistent playing time so far this season, mostly splitting time at third base with Austin Riley. Wherever he plays, he'll need to get going with the bat to have fantasy value in most formats -- Camargo is slashing only .182/.250/.364 with three RBI and a 3:15 BB:K through 15 games.

Seager (back) was able to throw on the field at Dodger Stadium on Monday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

This marks the first time Seager has participated in baseball activities since being pulled from Friday's game with lower-back discomfort. A follow-up scan came back clean, and the Dodgers have thus far resisted placing the shortstop on the injured list with the hope that he'll be ready to resume playing within 10 days. Per Castillo, Seager's progress over the next few days will ultimately determine whether or not he'll end up spending time on the IL.
