Seager (back) likely won't play in Saturday's game against the Giants, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Seager exited Friday's contest with lower back discomfort, and manager Dave Roberts said after the game that he's unlikely to take the field Saturday. The shortstop is considered day-to-day while he works through the issue. Prior to Friday's game, Seager had reached base in every contest for the Dodgers this season, slashing .347/.396/.612 with three home runs and seven RBI.

Ahmed went 1-for-3 in Friday's 3-0 loss to San Diego.

Ahmed is slowly digging himself out of a slow start. He's hit safely in four straight contests after starting the season 2-for-31 (.065).

Seager is dealing with lower back discomfort after leaving Friday's game against the Giants, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Seager was removed from Friday's game in the top of the third inning, and manager Dave Roberts revealed that he suffered the injury while diving for a ball earlier in the contest. However, Roberts didn't reveal specifics regarding the severity of the injury. Whether the 26-year-old misses any additional time as a result of the injury remains to be seen.

Seager was removed from Friday's game against the Giants with an undisclosed injury, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Seager had just resumed playing the field Wednesday after dealing with a quad injury, but he was forced out of Friday's contest in the top of the third inning. The nature and severity of the injury are unclear.

Crawford will sit against lefty Julio Urias and the Dodgers on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford will sit for the second straight day as the Giants face a second straight lefty. He's started against just two of the six southpaws the Giants have faced thus far. Mauricio Dubon will start at shortstop in his absence.

Berti is not in the lineup Friday against the Mets, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Berti started all four games since the Marlins resumed their season earlier this week and he went 3-for-14 with a double, three runs, an RBI and a stolen base. Eddy Alvarez will start at the keystone Friday for Miami.

Story went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Giants.

Story took Wandy Peralta deep in the sixth inning to record his fifth home run of the campaign. He had entered the game in the midst of a cold spell, collecting just one hit in his last 16 plate appearances. However, that's done little to undo his strong work at the dish, as he's hitting .295/.404/.636 in 52 plate plate appearances to this point.

Crawford is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

With the Giants and Rockies concluding their series with a day game after a night game and a southpaw (Kyle Freeland) on the mound for Colorado, the right-handed-hitting Donovan Solano will man shortstop in place of the lefty-hitting Crawford. The veteran had started in each of the Giants' first five games of August, going 3-for-16 with four runs scored.

Seager went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's win over the Padres.

Seager has hit safely in all but one game this season, and he is currently riding an eight-game hitting streak with four multi-hit appearances during that stretch. The shortstop is slashing .364/.400/.697 with two doubles, three homers, five RBI and seven runs scored in 33 at-bats during that eight-game stretch.

Ahmed went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 14-7 win over the Astros.

Ahmed went deep in the fifth inning off Astros reliever Nivaldo Rodriguez. It's the first homer of the year for Ahmed, who is hitting just .105 with two RBI and two runs scored through 12 contests. He regularly bats ninth in the lineup and hasn't done enough to warrant fantasy attention in 2020.
