Abrams went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple, one RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Phillies.

Abrams hit an RBI double in the seventh inning and later scored in the ninth after a single. He also had a triple in the third inning and fell a home run shy of the cycle. Abrams now has five multi-hit games in 17 appearances this season, resulting in a .279/.306/.559 slash line.

Turner went 4-for-4 with an RBI double and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over Washington.

Turner singled and scored a run in the first inning before knocking an RBI double and scoring again in the eighth. It was his second straight game with at least three hits and his fourth multi-hit performance over his last nine appearances. Turner bumped his season slash line up to .290/.367/.364 with six extra-base hits and 15 runs scored.

Puk will not undergo surgery to repair his left elbow flexor strain, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Although Puk won't be going under the knife, he's still expected to miss quite a bit of time. The plan is for him to pause all throwing for the next 2-to-3 weeks, at which point the D-backs will re-evaluate him and determine next steps. Justin Martinez will act as Arizona's primary closer while Puk is out.

Imanaga was removed from his start Tuesday against the Pirates due to leg cramps, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Imanaga appeared to wince after throwing a pitch to Andrew McCutchen in the sixth inning, which prompted a visit from the Cubs' training staff. He left the game after pitching five shutout innings, and his status for his next start -- tentatively scheduled for Sunday against Milwaukee -- is uncertain.

The Padres placed McCoy on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a sprained finger on his left hand.

McCoy is 0-for-5 with three strikeouts since being recalled from Triple-A on April 21, and he'll now need to wait at least 10 days before getting another chance to record his first big-league hit of the season. Luis Arraez (concussion) will return from the injured list Tuesday to make up for the loss of McCoy in San Diego's infield.

The Padres designated Gurriel for assignment Tuesday.

Gurriel has started 2025 very poorly, going just 4-for-36 with three RBI and two runs scored over 16 games. He'll now end up as one of the roster casualties needed to make room for the return of both Luis Arraez (concussion) and Jason Heyward (knee) from the injured list.

The Padres reinstated Heyward (knee) from the injured list Tuesday.

Heyward landed on the injured list April 19 with knee inflammation, but he won't need any more than the minimum 10 days before returning to the Padres' lineup. Prior to his injury, the 35-year-old had been slashing .233/.303/.333 across 33 plate appearances since the start of April.

The Padres reinstated Arraez (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

A collision with Mauricio Dubon sent Arraez to the 7-day concussion IL last week, but he's now been given the green light to return to competitive action. Jason Heyward (knee) will come off the IL alongside Arraez to replace Mason McCoy (finger) and Yuli Gurriel.

Encarnacion (hand) began dry swinging Monday and will continue to ramp up his hitting progression throughout the week, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Encarnacion still has about a month to go before he's eligible to return from the injured list, but his return to swinging a bat is still a significant step forward after he fractured his left hand in March.

Conforto is starting in left field and batting in the nine hole for the first time in his big league career Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Conforto has dropped to the bottom of the Dodgers' order against Miami's Sandy Alcantara and amidst Andy Pages's recent surge. Conforto has batted from spots four to seven in the lineup during 2025 against right-handers, but Tuesday will be the first time he has batted lower than the seventh spot against any hurler. The 32-year-old is batting .276 with three home runs and nine RBI across 29 at-bats against Alcantara for his career.
