Seager went 3-for-5 with a triple, a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

The Dodgers were down to their last out when Seager, who had tied the game with a run-scoring triple in his previous at-bat, smacked a game-tying homer off Adam Ottavino to send the game to extra innings. The long ball was his 26th of the year but first since Sept. 10. Seager finished the day a double short of the cycle, snapping an 0-for-13 skid at the plate and raising his slash line to .313/.371/.523.

Diaz is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs.

Diaz returned from a fractured thumb about two weeks ago and has seen his workload limited a bit while he reintegrates himself. He'll sit out for the third time in five games, giving way to Jedd Gyorko at shortstop.

Crawford (finger) is in Sunday's lineup against the Padres.

Crawford missed four games with a dislocated pinkie but is back in action Sunday. He'll start at shortstop and hit seventh against Clayton Richard. Crawford had gone just 5-for-24 (.208) over his last seven games prior to getting injured.

Sardinas is not in Sunday's lineup against the Giants.

Sardinas will give way to Adam Rosales at shortstop, who will hit fifth Sunday afternoon. The club has Monday off, so look for Sardinas to return for Tuesday's series opener against the Dodgers.

Turner is out of Sunday's lineup against the Pirates, Dan Kolko of the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network reports.

After clinching the NL East on Saturday, Turner will have Sunday off. He has an impressive .336 batting average for the season but has gone just 7-for-31 (.226) over the last seven games. With Turner out, Ben Revere will start in center field and hit leadoff.

Crawford (finger) remains out of the lineup Saturday, CSN Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic reports.

He was doubtful to play Saturday, so this comes as no surprise. It sounds as though he has been progressing with his recovery, so he should be expected back in the coming days. Ehire Adrianza will start at shortstop again and bat eighth Saturday.

Correa (shoulder) is in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

An ill-fated diving attempt at shortstop Friday resulted in an injury to Correa's left shoulder, the same one that cost him time earlier this month, but the 22-year-old won't even miss a start. Correa has posted just a .677 OPS this month, but his second-half line still sits at .290/.371/.451.

Correa prematurely exited Friday's game against the Angels with an injury to his left shoulder, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN reports.

Correa suffered the injury while diving for a ball in the field. Worse yet, it's the same shoulder that caused him to miss four games earlier in the month with inflammation. If he's forced to miss further time, Marwin Gonzalez or Colin Moran may fill in at short.

Crawford (finger) is considered doubtful for Saturday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

It sounds like Sunday is the earliest we could see Crawford, who suffered a dislocated left pinkie during Tuesday's game. He did some throwing Thursday and took dry swings Friday, so he's moving in the right direction and appears primed to contribute over the final week of the regular season.

Crawford (finger) remains out of the lineup Friday in San Diego.

He will miss his third game in a row after dislocating the pinkie finger on his glove hand. It sounds like he is steadily improving, and it would not be surprising if he returned at some point during this weekend's series. Ehire Adrianza will get the start at shortstop and hit eighth in Crawford's place Friday.
