Turner went 2-for-5 with a triple, a home run and three total RBI in Tuesday's 12-7 win over the Angels.

Turner's current hit streak has now reached double digits after he notched a two-run triple and a solo homer Tuesday. In those 10 games, Turner has posted a slash line of .349/.370/.860 with six home runs, 13 RBI, 12 runs and a stolen base across 46 plate appearances.

Perdomo is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Nick Ahmed will play shortstop and bat eighth versus left-hander Clayton Kershaw after Perdomo logged four straight starts at the position while going 4-for-13 (.308) with two RBI and two runs scored.

Williams isn't in the Pirates' lineup Tuesday against the Royals.

After an 0-for-4 performance during Monday's series opener, Williams will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Liover Peguero will get the nod at shortstop and bat seventh.

High-A Greenville placed Romero on its 7-day injured list Aug. 19 with a lower-back strain, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Romero had just been promoted from Single-A Salem on Aug. 15 before suffering the injury in his third game with Greenville on Aug. 17, when his back appeared to seize up on him as he made a throw across the diamond. The shortstop previously missed the first two and a half months of the season with a back injury and could be headed for an extended absence again, though Speier relays that the 19-year-old is expected to avoid surgery. Romero has compiled a .214/.294/.286 slash line with no home runs and two stolen bases over 34 games between three different levels in 2023.

Basabe is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Basabe started the past four games and will take a seat Tuesday after going 2-for-10 with an RBI and a caught stealing. Vidal Brujan will handle shortstop and bat sixth versus Miami ace Sandy Alcantara.

The Blue Jays selected McCoy's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old was acquired by Toronto from Seattle in exchange for Trent Thornton in late July and will now have the chance to make his major-league debut. McCoy has a .572 OPS in 21 games since joining Buffalo but fared better with the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate with a .737 OPS. He'll provide some defensive versatility after Bo Bichette (quadriceps) landed on the injured list but may not see much playing time.

Edman is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Padres.

Edman will grab a day of mental and physical rest after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in the Cardinals' loss to San Diego on Monday. Nolan Gorman is covering second base and batting third Tuesday as Richie Palacios patrols center field and hits leadoff. Masyn Winn will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Bichette was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right quadriceps strain, retroactive to Aug. 28.

Bichette sat out Monday's contest against Washington after leaving Sunday's matchup with the Guardians due to quad tightness, and he will end up on the injured list after an MRI revealed a strain. It's unclear how long the 25-year-old is expected to be sidelined by the injury, though he won't be eligible to be reinstated until Sept. 8. Mason McCoy was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move, though it's likely Santiago Espinal or Ernie Clement that will see most of the reps at shortstop while Bichette is out.

Wendle is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rays.

Wendle has slashed just .229/.264/.325 with one home run and five stolen bases across 90 games (268 plate appearances) this season for the Marlins. Jon Berti will start at shortstop and bat ninth Tuesday against the Rays and right-hander Aaron Civale.

Manager David Bell said Monday that McLain (oblique) is without a clear timeline for a return from the 10-day injured list, but the Reds are hopeful the rookie will play again this season, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

McLain was surprisingly placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's 4-1 loss to the Giants after he was sent in for a precautionary MRI on Sunday and diagnosed with a right oblique strain. The Reds are still in the process of determining whether McLain is dealing with a Grade 1 or Grade 2 strain, the latter of which would necessitate a longer recovery timeline. If McLain's injury is on the milder side, he would have a chance at being available to return from the IL when first eligible Sept. 8.
