Trea Turner SS | PHI
Dodgers' Trea Turner: Swipes sixth bag
Turner went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run and a stolen base in a 5-4 win over Philadelphia on Sunday.
Turner extended his hitting streak to seven games with a double in the first inning, and he added a walk and a stolen base that led to a run in the fourth. The shortstop hasn't shown much power this season with just one homer in 33 games, but he's rapped nine doubles and has stolen six bases on seven attempts. Turner is slashing .273/.340/.383 on the campaign.

Francisco Lindor SS | NYM
Mets' Francisco Lindor: Pops sixth homer
Lindor went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Mariners.
He took Robbie Ray deep in the first inning to get the Mets on the board. Lindor is having a rough May, going 8-for-53 (.151) through 14 games, but he's stayed productive with two of his six homers on the year, one steal, seven runs and eight RBI.

Dansby Swanson SS | CHC
Braves' Dansby Swanson: Launches another homer
Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored during Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Padres in extra innings.
The 28-year-old also struck out twice but provided most of Atlanta's offense in the series finale with his 416-foot, two-run shot to center field during the fourth inning. It was Swanson's third homer in his past eight contests, but strikeouts continue to be a problem as he's totaled 11 during that stretch. He has a .229/.303/.407 slash line with four home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs, four stolen bases and a 35.6 percent strikeout rate through 35 games this year.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Brewers' Willy Adames: X-rays negative
Adames (ankle) underwent X-rays that came back negative Sunday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
Adames exited Sunday's win over the Marlins due to a left ankle sprain, and he doesn't appear to be dealing with any structural damage. He'll be reevaluated when the Brewers return to Milwaukee on Monday and is considered day-to-day for now. If Adames misses any additional time, Luis Urias and Mike Brosseau would likely fill in at shortstop.

Brewers' Willy Adames: Dealing with ankle sprain
Adames was diagnosed with a sprained left ankle after leaving Sunday's game at Miami, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The 26-year-old suffered the injury during the first inning Sunday when he safely slid into home plate, and he was removed from the contest one inning later. Adames will be re-evaluated Monday and should be considered day-to-day in the meantime.

Brewers' Willy Adames: Leaves Sunday's game
Adames was removed from Sunday's game against the Marlins with an apparent ankle injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Adames reached via fielder's choice during the opening frame and came around to score, but he appeared to tweak his ankle while sliding into home plate. The 26-year-old initially remained in the contest but was replaced in the field for the bottom of the second inning. He should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.

Pirates' Diego Castillo: Not in Sunday's lineup
Castillo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Castillo is 1-for-12 with an RBI and a run over his past four games and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Rodolfo Castro and Josh VanMeter will start in the middle infield for Pittsburgh.

Nick Ahmed SS | TEX
Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Still feeling shoulder discomfort
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo cited Ahmed's "cranky" right shoulder for the decision to hold him out of Friday's starting lineup, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Ahmed was in Saturday's lineup, going 1-for-3 with an RBI, but it sounds like the shoulder is and will be an ongoing issue. "My shoulder doesn't feel perfect, but I'm going to try to keep playing through it as long as I can," Ahmed said. "That's kind of all I have to say." Ahmed, who missed the first two weeks of the regular season, returned with a bang, going 8-for-23 with three home runs over his first seven games played. Since then, he's gone 3-for-26 with eight strikeouts, looking much like the same hitter we saw 2021, when he finished with a .224/.280/.339 slash line.
