Turner went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a strikeout in a 7-2 loss to Arizona on Saturday.

Turner provided Los Angeles' only offense Saturday with solo shots in the sixth and ninth innings to give the middle infielder 24 homers on the season. The pair of long balls tied Turner's September total prior to Saturday and a current 12-game hitting streak has helped contribute toward a scorching .333/.385/.523 line across 22 games this month.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Rays.

Rojas smacked his ninth homer of the season off Shane McClanahan in the third inning Saturday to give the Marlins a 1-0 lead. With eight games remaining, the infielder is now just two long balls shy of matching his career high of 11 set in 2018.

Story is not in Saturday's lineup against the Giants.

He is hitting .244 with five home runs and two steals in 20 games this month. Brendan Rodgers will start at shortstop while Ryan McMahon handles the keystone and Colton Welker starts at the hot corner.

DeJong went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored during Friday's 12-4 win over the Cubs in the second game of the doubleheader.

DeJong was one of four Cardinals' players to hit a home run in the second game of Friday's twin bill after he took Michael Rucker deep to right in the third. The 27-year-old is slashing a lowly .185/.241/.444 with two homers, two RBI, three runs scored, a steal and 2:9 BB:K over 12 games this month as he's taken a backseat to Edmundo Sosa for the team's starting shortstop position. Sosa was banged up Friday after getting hit in the wrist by a pitch, which could afford DeJong some added playing time if Sosa is forced out with the injury.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the Mets.

Adames went back-to-back with Christian Yelich in the third inning for his only hit of the night. It was his first home run since returning from the injured list Sept. 20 and his 23rd of the year. Milwaukee got a bargain with the 25-year-old shortstop when it traded for him in May, as he's slashing .290/.369/.524 with 23 home runs, 69 RBI, 69 runs scored, five steals and 53:148 BB:K over 524 plate appearances.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two strikeouts in a 4-0 win over the Padres on Friday.

Swanson took San Diego starter Reiss Knehr deep to right in the second inning to give Atlanta an early 3-0 lead that proved to be all the support Max Fried needed. The homer was the 27-year-old's first since Sept. 1, as he's been slumping lately with a 3-for-25 mark over his last seven games.

Crawford went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored Friday in a 7-2 win over the Rockies.

Crawford continued his career-best campaign at the plate, establishing a new high with 22 homers and tying his career-high mark with 84 RBI. The shortstop also pushed his average to .303 with the trio of hits -- coming into 2021, he had never hit higher than .275 over a season. Crawford has come on strong down the stretch, notching four multi-hit performances over his past seven games.

Edman went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in an 8-5 win over the Cubs in the first game of Friday's doubleheader.

The 26-year-old was productive in the matinee. He notched his 28th steal in 33 attempts while adding his fifth multi-hit effort in 10 games. Edman has a less enjoyable nightcap, going 0-for-5 in that contest. Overall, the second baseman has a .265/.311/.390 slash line with 10 home runs, 54 RBI, 88 runs scored and 41 doubles through 663 plate appearances as St. Louis' main leadoff hitter.

Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to serve as the 29th man in Friday's nightcap against the Padres.

Camargo has been in the minors since mid-July, but he'll rejoin the major-league roster to serve as depth in the second game of Friday's twin bill. He's appeared in just 15 big-league games this year and has gone 0-for-16 with a run, two walks and six strikeouts.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a walk, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in a 7-5 victory versus the Rockies on Thursday.

Turner singled three times in the contest, the most important of which was a two-out base knock in the top of the ninth inning that plated the tying run. The speedy infielder has slashed .375/.457/.475 with a home run, four RBI, seven runs and five stolen bases during his current 10-game hitting streak. On the season, he ranks first in the National League with 31 steals and second with a .321 batting average.
