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.

Ahmed (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

This marks seven consecutive omissions from the lineup as Ahmed battles right shoulder soreness. The team must expect him back in action shortly, seeing as though they haven't placed him on the injured list. Josh Rojas is leading off as the shortstop Friday.

Preciado concluded the rookie-level Arizona Complex League season with a .333/.383/.511 slash line, three homers, seven steals, 25 RBI and 28 runs in 34 games.

That's quite the productive campaign, especially considering that Preciado only turned 18 in May. He couldn't quite keep up the blistering pace he started on, but he still got wood on the ball with an amazing level of consistency -- he only went hitless eight times in those 34 contests. With his 6-foot-4 frame, more power production will come, though his speed may fade as he continues developing physically. Preciado will likely start 2022 in Low-A, and if he can sustain this sort of productivity, he could find himself in the top-10 prospect conversation before too long. He's still several years off from the majors, though.

Seager went 4-for-5 with two RBI on Thursday against the Rockies.

Seager delivered a two-run single in the second inning to put the Dodgers up 3-0. He has collected at least one hit in eight of his last 10 starts, four of which have been multi-hit efforts. He's also racked up two home runs, seven RBI and five runs scored in that span. For the season, Seager is now hitting .289/.381/.456 across 370 plate appearances.

Ahmed (shoulder) remains on the bench for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

Ahmed finds himself on the bench for the sixth straight game as he continues to deal with a sore right shoulder. Josh Rojas will again shift to shortstop as his absence continues.

Ahmed (shoulder) is not in the lineup Wednesday against Atlanta.

Ahmed has sat out the past four games while dealing with soreness in his left shoulder, and his absence will continue Wednesday. Josh Rojas will shift to shortstop while Ketel Marte comes in from the outfield to cover the keystone.

Edman went 2-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases, one run and one RBI in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Brewers. He'll remain in the lineup Wednesday, starting at second base and batting leadoff, according to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat.

After bagging 17 steals in 576 plate appearances through his first two seasons in the big leagues, Edman has increased his aggressiveness on the bases in Year 3, much to the delight of fantasy managers. After adding another two steals to the ledger Tuesday, Edman is now 27-for-32 on stolen-base attempts in 2021. His total ties him for fifth place in the majors entering play Wednesday, leaving him behind only Starling Marte, Whit Merrifield, Trea Turner and Cedric Mullins in the category.

Reyes was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Reyes had limited playing time during his time with the major-league club and started just four games after he was called up Aug. 24. He should see more consistent at-bats in Nashville, while his demotion makes room on the active roster for Brett Anderson (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Adames isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Adames was back in the lineup in each of the last two games, and he went 0-for-6 with an RBI, a walk and two strikeouts. Luis Urias will start at shortstop and bat sixth.

Atlanta recalled Arcia from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Atlanta had been getting by with Ehire Adrianza as its lone utility player since Arcia was optioned to Triple-A over the weekend, but the latter's return to the active roster will give manager Brian Snitker another option off the bench. Unless Atlanta loses one of Austin Riley or Dansby Swanson over the final week and a half of the season, however, Arcia is unlikely to pick up regular starts while the team looks to secure the National League East crown.
