Grissom went 4-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.

Grissom produced four singles Tuesday, most notably ripping a two-run base knock in the first frame that drove in teammates Dansby Swanson and Matt Olson. He later came around to score in the fifth inning after singling earlier in the frame. The multi-hit effort was his first in his last 11 games, but he now owns a .337 average with four homers, 14 RBI, 19 runs and four stolen bases over his first 92 career at-bats.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Crawford got the Giants within two runs with his sixth-inning blast, but those were their last runs of the game. The shortstop has delivered at least one RBI in four of his last five games, though his homer was his first since Aug. 20. He's slashing .228/.309/.350 with eight homers, 45 RBI, 40 runs scored, one steal, 13 doubles and two triples through 98 contests.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

Turner picked up his 23rd steal of the season after a third-inning single, and he scored on a Max Muncy home run later in the frame. While he's gone just 8-for-38 (.211) over his last nine games, he's picked up one home run, three steals and four RBI in that span. The shortstop is slashing .305/.349/.479 with 19 homers, 90 RBI, 84 runs scored, 34 doubles and two triples through 134 contests, and it's safe to assume his bat won't stay quiet for long.

Berti (hip) is starting at second base and leading off Tuesday against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

He will face ace Aaron Nola in his first game back after missing almost a week with a hip issue. Berti hit one home run with four steals and a .222 average in 17 games in August.

Abrams went 4-for-5 with a triple and two runs scored in Monday's 6-0 win over St. Louis.

Abrams finally broke out with a monster game Monday, He was slashing just .177/.215/.194 through 19 games as a National prior to his four-hit effort. He's gone 7-for-12 over his last three games, raising his season slash line to .229/.275/.302 through 209 plate appearances.

Cruz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Cruz took Ross Stripling yard in the fifth inning for his 12th homer of the season. Cruz is hitting .244 across his last 11 games, but he has six extra-base hits in that span -- including three home runs, two triples and a double. He has had long spells with little production thanks to a 37.6 percent strikeout rate, though Cruz also has a .218 ISO to go along with six steals across 242 plate appearances for the season.

Barrero went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in a 10-0 win over the Rockies in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader.

Barrero went 0-for-4 in the first game of the doubleheader before finding more success in the second contest. He scored as part of both of the Reds' five-run rallies in the fourth and sixth innings. The shortstop has yet to hit safely in more than three straight games since his season debut Aug. 3. He's slashed just .165/.198/.237 with two home runs, two steals, eight RBI and eight runs scored through 97 plate appearances despite steady playing time.

Crawford is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Crawford will join fellow lefty-hitting lineup regulars Mike Yastrzemski and Joc Pederson on the bench for the series finale while lefty Ranger Suarez toes the rubber for Philadelphia. Thairo Estrada moves over from his usual post at the keystone to replace Crawford as the Giants' shortstop.

Berti (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Berti's sore right hip will keep him on the bench for the third game in a row, allowing Charles Leblanc to pick up another start in the middle infield. The Marlins are seemingly hopeful that another day out of the lineup coupled with Monday's team off day will be enough time for Berti to move past the injury and rejoin the starting nine for Tuesday's series opener in Philadelphia.

Turner went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 12-1 victory over the Padres.

Turner received his first day off this season Friday, and he wasted little time making his presence felt upon his return Saturday. The All-Star shortstop gave the Dodgers an early lead against Sean Manaea with a two-run homer in the first inning. Turner is up to 19 long balls on the campaign -- he needs one more to record the second 20-20 season of his career.
