Arcia went 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

Arcia singled in the second inning and doubled in the fourth and seventh, plating a run during the former. The 27-year-old is slashing a torrid .368/.409/.474, though the production has come in a 19 at-bat sample on the weak side of a platoon.

DeJong went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI, a run and a stolen base during Tuesday's 5-1 win at Miami.

DeJong delivered his second stolen base in as many games, which is an early-season surprise given he entered the year with only 16 steals over his five big-league campaigns. Regardless, the 28-year-old has a .185/.313/.370 slash line through nine contests and will need to improve upon those numbers to retain a starting spot over Edmundo Sosa.

Abrams remains on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

While Abrams is out of the lineup for his second straight game, that doesn't seem to indicate that his role has changed. He's been in the lineup against every righty this season while sitting against every lefty, so his off day here against southpaw Reiver Sanmartin is merely a continuation of that trend. Ha-Seong Kim remains the starter at shortstop.

Camargo remains on the bench Tuesday against the Rockies, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Camargo started six straight games last week, including five at third base, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him slip back into a utility role. His .258/.316/.421 career slash line suggests he's a poor fit as an everyday starter at the hot corner, and his .269/.321/.346 line through nine games this season tells a similar story. Alec Bohm will make his second straight start at third base Tuesday.

Castillo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

The righty-hitting Castillo had started at either second base or shortstop in each of the past four games, though the Pirates opposed southpaw starting pitchers in the latter three contests. Castillo recorded an RBI in each of those last three games and looks to have secured a regular spot in the lineup versus lefties, but he'll be back on the bench Tuesday with the Brewers bringing right-hander Corbin Burnes to the hill.

The Giants optioned Williams to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Before reporting to Sacramento, Williams will be eligible to play for the Giants in Tuesday's doubleheader with the Mets after San Francisco designated him as its 29th man, according to Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News.

The Giants will swap Williams, a righty-hitting utility man, off the 28-man active roster for a lefty-hitting one in Jason Vosler, who should give manager Gabe Kapler some more options off the bench late in games while lefty hitters LaMonte Wade (knee) and Tommy La Stella (Achilles) reside on the injured list. Williams had seen limited use in the Giants' first nine games, starting twice and logging just five plate appearances in total. He should get the chance to play on an everyday basis when he heads to Sacramento after Tuesday's doubleheader.

Adrianza (quadriceps) has yet to resume any running workouts or baseball activities since straining his left quadriceps tendon in a March 31 Grapefruit League game, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

The Nationals were initially hopeful that the quad strain would result in a brief stint on the 10-day injured list for Adrianza to begin the season, but three weeks after suffering the injury, the 32-year-old doesn't appear close to a return. Since he hasn't been able to do even light activities, Adrianza is likely at least two weeks away from being ready to play in a game. Adrianza's ongoing absence should allow Lucius Fox to stick around with the big club as a utility infielder.

Castillo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Brewers.

The rookie infielder took Eric Lauer deep in the top of the fourth inning for his first long ball in the majors. Castillo has been seeing most of his action at second base, and the 24-year-old is batting .310 (9-for-29) through his first eight big-league games as he auditions to potentially be the future double play partner for Oneil Cruz.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and three RBI against Atlanta in a 7-4 win Monday.

Turner broke the game open with his fourth-inning, bases-clearing double that doubled the Dodgers' lead from three runs to six. The speedy shortstop had previously swiped his third bag of the campaign following a third-inning fielder's choice. Turner is living up to the lofty fantasy draft position he garnered in most leagues this season, slashing .310/.333/.452 with a home run, 10 RBI, six runs and three stolen bases through 45 plate appearances.

Abrams will be on the bench Monday against Cincinnati, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Abrams has started against every righty the Padres have faced this season but has been on the bench against every lefty, including Monday's starter Nick Lodolo. Ha-Seong Kim will start at shortstop.
