G. Lux - 2B

Gavin Lux (wrist) took grounders before Thursday's game against the Padres for the Dodgers.

Lux is currently on the injured list with wrist soreness, but this was more about a roster crunch than a significant injury, it appears. The former top prospect will likely be back with Los Angeles before the end of April, and is a candidate to be recalled as soon as he's eligible to do so. That would be on Monday, if the Dodgers are so inclined and Lux is feeling well enough.

B. Crawford - SS

Brandon Crawford (rib) is not starting on Thursday against the Marlins.

Crawford left the game against the Phillies on Wednesday with tightness in his side. He'll take a seat while Mauricio Dubon will start at shortstop against Miami. Crawford is considered day-to-day, so he could return at some point over the weekend.

B. Belt - 1B

Brandon Belt (quad) remains out of the lineup on Thursday against the Marlins.

Belt was removed from Tuesday's game against the Phillies due to tightness in his quad, and he will now miss a second consecutive game because of the injury. Wilmer Flores is starting at first base.

S. Crichton - RP

ARI

X-rays on Stefan Crichton's hand were negative.

That was quick. Crichton was hit in the hand with a comebacker and had to leave Thursday's appearance against the Reds, but the imagining has reportedly shown no structural damage. Consider Crichton day-to-day for now, but it does appear he's avoided a serious injury.

N. Hoerner - 2B

CHI

Cubs recalled INF Nico Hoerner from their alternate training site.

Hoerner did not make the Cubs out of spring training, and there was a bit of a stir -- and justifiably so -- when he was sent to the alternate site. He's back now, as he'll take the place of Joc Pederson, with Pederson heading to the injured list with left wrist tendinitis. Hoerner is capable of playing all over the field, and could see at-bats both as a second baseman and outfielder while up. He's worth a speculative add in redraft leagues, but this is a better "real life" player than a fantasy one. That doesn't mean he can't help in the latter, it's just something to be cognizant of.

J. Pederson - LF

CHI

Cubs placed OF Joc Pederson on the 10-day injured list with left wrist tendinitis.

Pederson was hit by a pitch on Wednesday, but the tendinitis designation likely means that they are unrelated, and the Cubs will place the former Dodger on the injured list while he recovers. Assuming there are no setbacks, there's a very good chance that Pederson is able to return in the minimum 10 days. Nico Hoerner will take Pederson's place on the roster, and has a good chance of earning at-bats while with the club.

M. Betts - RF

Mookie Betts is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

He's hitting at the top of the lineup, and he'll play right field with Chris Taylor in center. The star outfielder was hit directly in the forearm on Monday in a loss to the Mariners, and sat out Tuesday's contest. It's beyond obviously good news that Betts is back for the Dodgers and fantasy managers in another marquee series against the Padres.

T. Pham - LF

Tommy Pham is not in the starting lineup on Thursday for the series opener against the Dodgers.

Pham takes a seat while Jurickson Profar gets the start in left. Trent Grisham is in center, while wil Myers takes his usual spot in right. It's been a dreadful start to the season for Pham, as the 33 year old is hitting just .154 with an OPS of .471. To put it in perspective, that number gives him an OPS+ of 40, where 100 is considered average.
