MLB Player News

Treinen (hip) has continued to play catch and will likely be activated from the 15-day injured list when first eligible, per MLB.com.

Treinen went on the 15-day IL on Aug. 5, so the earliest he can be activated is Aug. 20. It appears likely that he will indeed return to the Dodgers' bullpen on that day, as his hip issue is not expected to be serious. Upon being activated, Treinen should slot back into a high-leverage role after posting a 2.67 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 38:9 K:BB over 30.1 innings while recording five wins, a save and nine holds.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Marte has a low-grade left ankle sprain and will not require a stint on the injured list, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Marte initially injured his ankle during Saturday's game against the Phillies and aggravated it during his lone at-bat in Monday's 5-4 win over the Rockies. He was out of the lineup Tuesday, but it's unclear how many additional games Marte might miss before his ankle returns to 100 percent. The Diamondbacks' decision to keep him on the active roster is an encouraging sign.

Wood went 4-for-5 with a double, one RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Orioles.

Wood logged the second four-hit game of his rookie campaign and was almost perfect at the plate until grounding out in his final at-bat. The 21-year-old is in the midst of a breakout August, tallying six extra-base hits, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and four steals through 11 contests. On the season, he is hitting .283 with four home runs, 26 RBI, 23 runs scored and six steals across 157 plate appearances.

Abrams went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Orioles.

Abrams looked healthy after missing three games due to back spasms, smacking two hard hits and swiping his 21st bag of the season. He's gone just 8-for-35 in nine August contests but does have four extra-base hits, seven RBI and six runs scored in that span. On the year, the 23-year-old is hitting .254 with 17 homers, 59 RBI and 71 runs scored across 488 plate appearances.

Contreras went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Contreras has homered in consecutive games, and he's driven in three of the Brewers' four runs over the first two games of this series. The catcher has hit four of his 15 homers this season in August, going 14-for-43 (.326) over 11 contests this month. Overall, he's at a .285/.358/.462 slash line with 69 RBI, 76 runs scored, 32 doubles, five stolen bases and two triples over 115 games.

Chaparro went 3-for-4 with three doubles, one RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Orioles.

According to Jessica Camarato of MLB.com, Chaparro became just the fourth player since 1901 to hit three doubles in his major-league debut. He hit .328 with 23 home runs and 85 RBI at Triple-A this year and should continue to get opportunities to prove himself as a worthy trade-deadline acquisition.

Rea (10-4) allowed seven runs on 10 hits and struck out four without walking a batter over six innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Rea was no match for a strong offense, as the Dodgers tagged him for four home runs, which accounted for six of the seven runs he gave up. The silver lining was the zero walks, something he hadn't done since July 3. The right-hander is now at a 3.72 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 103:36 K:BB over 128.1 innings across 23 appearances (20 starts) this season. Rea's next outing is projected to be at home versus the Guardians.

Lux went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Brewers.

Lux batted .282 over 12 contests between homers, adding three doubles and seven RBI in that span. The second baseman's blast Tuesday stretched the Dodgers' lead to 4-1 in the fourth inning. For the year, he's up to seven long balls, 41 RBI, 38 runs scored, four stolen bases and a .242/.301/.364 slash line over 101 contests.

Pages went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Brewers.

Pages has gone 8-for-22 (.364) over his last seven games, though this was his first homer since June 18. The outfielder is still finding his way into the lineup on a semi-regular basis, but that will be harder to do now that Mookie Betts is back in action and in need of a full-time spot in right field. If Pages' bat stays warm, he may be able to avoid a strict platoon with the lefty-hitting Kevin Kiermaier in center field, but Kiermaier also offers elite defense that could keep him in the lineup in more situations. For the season, Pages has a .248/.307/.390 slash line, nine homers, 35 RBI, 54 runs scored and one stolen base over 387 plate appearances.

Smith went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Brewers.

Smith had gone 22 games without a homer and had just two doubles among 12 hits while batting .145 in that span. This was also his first multi-hit effort in August. The veteran catcher is up to 16 homers, 62 RBI, 57 runs scored, 21 doubles and a .251/.331/.444 slash line through 97 contests overall. Smith remains in a starting role, but he has some work to do to make up for his lengthy power slump.
