Mangum went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double, an additional RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 10-5 loss to Atlanta.

It's the fourth career four-hit game for Mangum, highlighted by his two-run blast off Bryce Elder in the fourth inning, his second homer this season. The switch-hitting outfielder has gone 18-for-50 (.360) over his last 12 games, boosting his slash line to .311/.361/.383 across 244 plate appearances this season with 32 runs scored, 18 RBI and 18 stolen bases.

Jarvis went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and a double in Thursday's 10-5 win over the Pirates.

Jarvis extended Atlanta's lead to 5-2 in the fourth inning with his two-run, 397-foot blast off Cam Sanders, the first homer of his big-league career. Jarvis has seen regular playing time at shortstop since he was recalled from Triple-A in early July. He's gone 6-for-19 across five games after slashing .313/.406/.461 with six homers across 348 plate appearances in the minors this year.

Keller (6-7) took the loss Thursday against Atlanta, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over three innings. He struck out three.

Keller has been struggling mightily of late, posting a 7.62 ERA in his last eight starts (39 innings). The home-run ball in particular has been a problem for Keller -- he's now given up six long balls in his last four outings. The right-hander will head into the All-Star break with a 5.14 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 77:35 K:BB across 19 starts (103.1 innings).

Elder did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Pirates, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks across four innings. He struck out three.

Elder was hurt by the long ball again Thursday, with all four of the runs charged to the right-hander coming on three homers. Elder's now given up 22 earned runs and eight homers in 18 innings across his last four outings. He'll head into the All-Star break with a 4.12 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 86:32 K:BB across 18 starts (102.2 innings) this season.

Caissie was diagnosed with a mild right calf strain Thursday, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.

Caissie landed on the injured list Thursday after making an early exit from Wednesday's game, and although the severity of his strain is mild, he'll still have to spend more than the 10-day minimum on the IL and aim to rejoin the Marlins at some point in late July or early August. In the meantime, Rece Hinds, Heriberto Hernandez and Esteury Ruiz will be in the mix for starts in the outfield.

Goodman (wrist) will serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth Thursday against the Giants.

Goodman missed two starts while tending to a wrist injury he suffered Monday, though he was able to enter Wednesday's game off the bench and is now ready to return to the starting nine for Thursday's contest. The 26-year-old backstop has been playing exceptionally well as of late, slashing .333/.386/.846 with six homers, 12 RBI and 10 runs scored across his last 10 games prior to getting hurt.

Smith isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against San Diego.

Smith will retreat to the bench to begin Thursday's series finale after going 0-for-8 through the first three games, which has dropped his OPS down to .428 for the season. Tim Tawa will pick up a start at first base and bat ninth while Smith sits.

Brebbia signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Brebbia elected free agency after being DFA'd by the Rockies last week, and after testing his value in the open market, he's now back in the organization on a minor-league deal. The 36-year-old righty will report to Triple-A Albuquerque, where he has thrown nine shutout innings while striking out 10 batters without conceding a walk.

Lee isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Lee will grab a seat on the bench to begin Thursday's contest after going 1-for-10 with a walk and a run scored during San Francisco's previous series against Toronto. Victor Bericoto, Drew Gilbert and Heliot Ramos will form the Giants' outfield trio while Lee rests.

Machado (foot) will start at third base and bat fourth Thursday against the Diamondbacks.

Machado received a day off Wednesday after fouling a ball off his foot in Tuesday's game, but he now seems to be feeling better ahead of Thursday's series finale. The 34-year-old slugger has struggled at the plate for most of the season but has begun to heat up recently, slashing .234/.372/.594 with six homers, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored over the past three weeks.
