Florentino, who is on the 7-day injured list at Single-A Bradenton, is dealing with a left hamstring strain but could be back in the next week, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Florentino exited the Aug. 21 game against Daytona with the injury, and it sounds like he could be back as early as next week. The 18-year-old phenom has a rare combination of plus power (.256 ISO, .528 SLG for Bradenton) and strong bat-to-ball ability (86.1 Contact%, 5.4 SwStr%). He also excels at pulling the ball in the air, logging 21.1 percent groundball rate at Single-A. While he has seen time at first base this year, Florentino has started the majority of his games in center field and is 28-for-32 on the bases in 50 games for the Marauders.

Gilbert went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 15-8 win over the Orioles.

Gilbert lined his first double to right field in the third inning, driving in a run. He later reached on a fielder's choice in the seventh before coming around to score. The 24-year-old added another double in the ninth. This marked his second big-league outing with multiple hits and multiple RBI. Over 15 games, Gilbert is slashing .139/.139/.278 with four RBI, two runs scored, two doubles, one homer and one stolen base across 36 plate appearances.

The Brewers optioned Lockridge to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

The Brewers traded for Lockridge at the deadline to provide the club with some speedy outfield depth while Jackson Chourio (hamstring) was on the IL. Now that the latter has returned, Lockridge will move to the minors and continue serving as organizational depth. The 28-year-old slashed .261/.308/.370 with six RBI, eight runs scored and two steals across 53 plate appearances during his time with Milwaukee.

The Brewers reinstated Chourio (hamstring) from the injured list Saturday.

Chourio landed on the injured list toward the end of July due to a strained right hamstring, and after five rehab games at Triple-A Nashville, he's now been given the green light to reclaim an everyday role in Milwaukee's outfield. Although the 21-year-old went just 1-for-19 with two walks and eight strikeouts during his time in the minors, he had been slashing .386/.438/.591 in the second half prior to his injury. To make room for Chourio's return, Brandon Lockridge was optioned to Nashville.

Crews went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Rays.

The rest of the Nationals' offense couldn't take advantage of his efforts on the basepaths, but Crews produced his first game of 2025 with multiple steals. He's 14-for-17 on stolen-base attempts in 59 games this season, but the 23-year-old offers little else from a fantasy perspective -- in 14 games since returning from an oblique strain in mid-August, he's slashing just .229/.327/.333 with zero homers, four RBI and nine runs.

Tenge (undisclosed) has gone 2-for-8 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run in two games for Triple-A Syracuse since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Tenge missed just under two weeks of action while tending to an unspecified injury. Since getting bumped up from Double-A Binghamton to Syracuse earlier this month, the 22-year-old outfield prospect is slashing .250/.348/.400 through six games, with Friday's homer being his first at the Triple-A level.

Doyle went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two walks, an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Cubs.

Doyle was a primary source of Colorado's offense, drawing a leadoff walk before coming around to score in the fourth inning and then delivering an RBI double three frames later. He's surged since the All-Star break, maintaining a .367 average with seven home runs, 21 RBI and 18 runs scored across 32 games. Doyle has particularly taken advantage of Coors Field, as he has multiple hits in six of his last nine starts at home.

Happ went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a solo home run, two RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 11-7 win over the Rockies.

Happ was one of several Chicago players to get a boost from the thin Coors Field air. The veteran outfielder tied a season high with eight total bases, and he recorded his first multi-hit performance in 10 days. On the season, Happ is now slashing .231/.331/.393 with 17 home runs, 59 RBI, 71 runs scored and five stolen bases across 123 games.

Fernandez went 2-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and two runs scored Friday against the Cubs.

Fernandez got a rare opportunity to start in consecutive games, both at designated hitter. He's homered in consecutive contests, potentially making a push for more consistent playing time. Since being recalled July 2, Fernandez has started at least two games in a row only six times.

Friedl went 0-for-4 with two walks in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Friedl's having a rough month of August, posting a .594 OPS with just two extra-base hits and five RBI over 23 games. Friedl is slashing .230/.353/.278 across 33 contests since the All-Star break.
