Amaya is hitting .315/.420/.653 with nine homers, two steals and a 24:18 BB:K for Double-A Tulsa.

He's also averaging nearly a run per game -- 31 in 34 contests. The 23-year-old didn't come into the season with a reputation as a power hitter -- he socked just 12 homers with a .343 slugging percentage in 113 Double-A games last year -- but he's certainly muscled up this season. Amaya has always been considered an excellent defender, which should help punch his ticket to the big leagues as soon as next season, though his long-term outlook will hinge on whether he can carry this season's impressive power gains forward. At worst, he's an excellent utility infielder, but if he can keep hitting like this, he's got chance to be considerably more than that.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Nationals.

Moved up into the leadoff spot with Mookie Betts getting a breather, Turner did what he could to get the Dodgers on the board, but his teammates couldn't find a timely hit. The shortstop is up to 10 steals on the season to go with his .289/.356/.422 slash line, three homers, 19 runs and 34 RBI through 43 games.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Wednesday against the Giants.

Lindor was one of the few bright spots for the Mets, as he went yard in the sixth inning to record his eighth homer of the season. He has three home runs in his last 11 starts, also collecting 12 RBI and 13 runs scored in that span. Overall, Lindor has a .250/.337/.443 line across 205 plate appearances this season.

Swanson went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, two runs and two RBI in Wednesday's victory over the Phillies.

Swanson notched an RBI single off Ranger Suarez in the bottom of the second frame, singled and scored on a wild pitch in the fifth inning and then launched a solo homer in his following at-bat in the sixth. The long ball was his sixth of the season and fifth in May. He later added another single and the four-hit effort was his third consecutive multi-hit game. Swanson has put together an eight-game hit streak, batting .438 with three extra-base hits, four runs, seven RBI and two stolen bases over that stretch.

Arcia was added to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Arcia hasn't appeared in any of the last seven games, but he'll serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth Wednesday after Ronald Acuna (quadriceps) was scratched. Over four games since the start of May, Arcia has gone 5-for-12 with a homer, two runs, two RBI and five strikeouts.

Rojas (calf) is starting Wednesday against the Rays, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald

Rojas hasn't played since Saturday due to a sore left calf, but he'll start at shortstop and bat eighth after missing the last two games. Over his last four games, he's gone 4-for-12 with a homer, a double, three runs and a walk.

Camargo isn't starting Wednesday against Atlanta, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Camargo started in the last two games and went 2-for-8 with a run, a walk and three strikeouts. Bryson Stott will take over at shortstop and bat ninth.

Crawford isn't starting Wednesday against the Mets, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Crawford has gone 4-for-10 with a homer, three RBI and three strikeouts over the last two games, and he'll get a breather in Wednesday's series finale against the Mets. Donovan Walton will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Tuesday in a 9-4 victory versus the Nationals.

Facing the team with which he won a ring in 2019, Turner teed off with a two-run shot to center field in the first inning. The long ball was his third of the campaign and extended his hitting streak to 16 games. Over that stretch, Turner is slashing .349/.425/.540 with two homers, six doubles, 14 RBI, eight runs and four stolen bases.

Lindor went 2-for-6 with a home run, triple, two runs and six RBI in a 13-12 loss to San Francisco on Tuesday.

Lindor got going late with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning, a two-run homer in the seventh and a bases-clearing triple followed by a run in a seven-run eighth. It was the 28-year-old's third multi-hit outing in his last six and his first with multiple extra-base hits since a two-homer game April 15. The excellent performance raises Lindor's slash line to .244/.333/.419 with seven home runs, 30 runs and 32 RBI.
