Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Seager (hand) "feels good" but remains without a set date to be activated from the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Roberts indicated Monday that the star shortstop could be activated as early as Wednesday, but it doesn't appear that's going to come to fruition. Seager figures to continue ramping up in simulated games until he's cleared to rejoin the active roster.

Berti will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Berti's eight steals have provided at least a bit of value to fantasy teams, but that's about all he's been good for this season, as he's homered just four times while hitting .215/.309/.320. Given that he's already on the wrong side of 30, it's possible he falls behind the Marlins' younger options down the stretch, as the team is already all but out of the playoff picture. Joe Panik, who's less than a year younger than Berti, will start at the hot corner on this occasion.

Owings was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a mallet finger of the left thumb.

Owings last played Sunday, though it's not clear when or how the injury was suffered. The utility man will become eligible to be reinstated July 29, but it's possible he'll require additional time to recover. Connor Joe was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding roster move.

Arcia will sit Tuesday against the Padres.

Arcia was scheduled to sit Monday, but that game got rained out. He'll get the day off Tuesday instead, with Abraham Almonte again scheduled to start in left field.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double during Monday's 18-1 loss to the Nationals.

With the Marlins trailing 18-0 in the eighth, Rojas attempted to get things going with his fifth long ball of the year. Unfortunately, he accounted for all of Miami's offense in the lopsided loss. It was his fourth multi-hit night in the last six games, raising his season slash line to .276/.334/.419.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a triple and four RBI during Monday's 18-1 win over the Marlins.

After cranking out a long ball and a triple in the first two innings, Turner looked on pace to chase after his fourth career cycle. That was as close as he would get, capping off yet another monstrous performance at the plate. The shortstop now has 18 homers and three triples on the season to go with a .319/.370/.531 slash line.

Crawford was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left oblique strain, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Crawford was sent for an MRI following Sunday's matchup, and the scan showed a mild oblique strain. Manager Dave Kapler expects Crawford to need between 10-to-14 days to make a full recovery, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Thairo Estrada, who is starting Monday night against the Dodgers, is expected to recieve the majority of the playing time at shortstop while Crawford is out.

Seager (hand) could be activated from the injured list as early as Wednesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said the 27-year-old is scheduled to be evaluated Tuesday, and the shortstop could rejoin the active roster Wednesday if the evaluation goes well. Seager has been sidelined since mid-May with a fractured right hand, and he's been recently taking part in simulated games. The Dodgers could opt to send him on a rehab assignment if they deem he's not quite ready for major-league action.

Crawford isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Crawford was dealing with a hamstring issue over the weekend, and while he was back in the starting lineup Sunday, it's unclear if the issue has flared up once again. Thairo Estrada gets the call at shortstop and bats eighth in Crawford's absence.

Arcia is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.

Arcia hits the bench after starting nine of 10 games. The glove-first shortstop unsurprisingly hasn't shown what it takes at the plate to be a regular left fielder, hitting just .250/.308/.361 thus far since his early-July call-up, so it's possible Atlanta pursues another outfield acquisition at the deadline. For now, Abraham Almonte will start in his place.
