Hoffman had a 3.88 ERA and 77 strikeouts in 58 innings for Triple-A Norfolk in Baltimore’s organization last year. There was a chance for him to win a spot in Texas’ bullpen this year, but he instead headed to Triple-A Round Rock, where he has posted a 5.91 ERA. He should serve as organizational depth in Philadelphia

It was two runs through five, but Luzardo walked the first two batters of the sixth, leading to his removal. The runners then came around to score off Tanner Banks. It goes down as Luzardo’s third poor outing in four starts, but he wasn’t hit particularly hard in giving up a homer and five singles. His four walks led to three of the four runs. Luzardo is likely to make his next start Sunday against the Mets.

Turner has seven hits the last three days and is now the NL leader with 90 on the season. He’s also, at least for the moment, overtaken Francisco Lindor for second in OPS among NL shortstop at .832, putting him just behind Elly De La Cruz at .846. He’ll have an All-Star case, though there’s quite a crowd in the NL, with Mookie Betts also surely factoring into the mix.

Gorman’s homer made it a 7-1 game in the fifth and ended Jose Quintana’s afternoon. With Brendan Donovan missing the last four games, Gorman has now gotten to start six straight games. Going into this stretch, he’d started just six of the Cardinals’ previous 21 games. He’s batting .321/.424/.714 in 33 plate appearances this month, so one imagines the Cardinals will stick with him after Donovan returns, which could result in less playing time for Jordan Walker, Alec Burleson and Pedro Pagés (since Iván Herrera would likely do less DHing).

Gorman has started four of the last five games for the Cardinals, playing third base, second base and designated hitter. In his last 10 games, Gorman is hitting .435 with two home runs, five RBI and a 7/2 K/BB ratio. With Brendan Donovan dealing with toe discomfort, there could be some extra playing time for Gorman in the immediate future.

Gorman’s extra-base hit was a 111.6-mph double that bounced over the wall in right to lead off the bottom of the ninth in a 1-1 game. Gorman was then removed for a pinch-runner, who came around to score on a Nolan Arenado flyball single that would have been a routine out if the Dodgers hadn’t been using a five-man infield in a do-or-die situation. Gorman was starting for just the second time this week, as Arenado had the day off before his pinch-hitting appearance. He’s gone 7-for-16 with a homer in his four starts over the last two weeks, but the Cardinals don’t seem that interested in finding more playing time for him.
