Marsee went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Astros.

One game after clubbing his first big-league homer, Marsee flashed the other side of his skill set with his first MLB steal. The latter category is the one he's likely to make the bigger impact in -- prior to his promotion, he had 14 home runs and 46 stolen bases over 98 Triple-A contests -- but the 24-year-old has provided all-around production since being called up by the Marlins, batting .438 (7-for-16) in his first six games with five total extra-base hits, three runs and three RBI.

Harris went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers.

The center fielder took Trevor Megill deep in the ninth inning to make things close, but Atlanta couldn't find a tying run in a 5-4 loss. Harris has hit safely in 12 of the last 14 games, slashing .397/.417/.724 over that span with three of his 10 homers on the season, along with four doubles, three triples, five RBI and 10 runs.

Perkins went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI in a 5-4 win against Atlanta on Wednesday.

Perkins' two-run homer to right field in the fifth inning gave the Brewers a 5-1 lead, and that held up as Atlanta fell short by a run. Perkins continues to thrive in the absence of Jackson Chourio (hamstring); since Chourio got hurt July 29, Perkins has started seven straight games in center field and is batting .323 with three homers, nine runs, six RBI and a stolen base during that span. Perkins went deep just six times over 121 regular-season games last year, and he's already halfway to that mark with three home runs through just 17 contests this season.

Tatis isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Tatis will get a rare off day Wednesday after going just 2-for-21 with an RBI and three runs scored through the first five games of August. While he regroups, Ryan O'Hearn will cover right field and bat fifth.

Happ went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Reds.

Happ extended his hitting streak to five games as he launched his 16th home run of the season in the eighth inning. The veteran outfielder has been batting lower in the order recently and has seen some steady improvement at the plate following a slow start to the season. Happ is now batting .258 over his last 10 games and .230 overall.

Berroa (shoulder) went 1-for-3 with a walk Tuesday after being reinstated from Triple-A Nashville's 7-day injured list.

After the Brewers acquired Berroa from the Dodgers on July 9, the outfielder was assigned to Nashville and immediately placed on the IL while he recovered from right shoulder bursitis. The 26-year-old was cleared to begin a rehab assignment July 23, and after nine games between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and High-A Wisconsin, he received the green light to debut for Nashville.

Frelick (knee) will start in right field and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Frelick was out of the lineup for the last three games due to soreness in his left knee, the same one he had surgically repaired in college after suffering a meniscus injury. The 25-year-old appears to have responded well to treatment to go along with a few days of rest and will take back his normal spot in the outfield and atop the batting order Thursday as Milwaukee goes for the three-game sweep in Atlanta.

Lile is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

The Nationals will send the left-handed-hitting Lile to the bench Wednesday while southpaw Jeffrey Springs takes the hill for the Athletics. Lile had started at one of the corner-outfield spots in each of Washington's previous 10 games, slashing .324/.341/.514 with five extra-base hits (three doubles, two triples), one stolen base, six runs and five RBI.

Giants manager Bob Melvin indicated that Encarnacion will be placed on the 10-day injured list after exiting Wednesday's 4-2 win over Pittsburgh with a right hamstring injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Encarnacion went 1-for-3 with a solo home run prior to exiting the contest.

Encarnacion hurt himself in the seventh inning Wednesday while trying to beat out an infield single. He's slated to undergo an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of his injury, but Encarnacion is expected to make his third trip to the IL of the season. He previously missed time with a fractured hand and a strained oblique.

Encarnacion exited Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh in the seventh inning due to an apparent right hamstring injury, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Encarnacion appeared to tweak his hamstring while trying to beat out an infield single in the top of the seventh inning and was removed for defense before the bottom of the frame. He cranked a solo home run in one of his three plate appearances before being lifted. The Giants should have more information on Encarnacion's status after the game.
