Crawford went 2-for-3 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Thursday's win over the Cubs.

Crawford was the undisputed star for the Giants on Thursday, as he delivered an RBI single in the bottom of the second inning before socking his 12th long ball of the season against Rex Brothers in the fifth. The shortstop hadn't homered since May 20, and he hadn't recorded multiple RBI in a game since May 25.

Ahmed went 4-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Brewers.

Ahmed is putting an abysmal start to the season behind him, as the shortstop has heated up since late May. He was batting just .187 as of May 23 but since then has gone 14-for-34 (.412) over nine games, upping his average to .236 for the season.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Nationals.

Swanson was part of a four-run sixth inning Thursday by swatting his 10th home run of the season. The 27-year-old extended his hit streak to 12 games, and he's now homered in back-to-back contests.

Seager (hand) will travel with the Dodgers on their upcoming six-game road trip, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Seager recently shed his cast and has been fielding grounders with just his glove hand, per Matthew Moreno of Dodger Blue, but he is still wearing a splint. The shortstop has been able to take part in some baseball activities, though he's isn't yet able to take two-handed swings. Seager remains at least two weeks away from a return.

Camargo was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Camargo continues to bounce on and off the fringe of Atlanta's roster, with his latest stint in the big leagues lasting less than a week. He's gone 0-for-15 at the plate thus far this season. Tucker Davidson was recalled in a corresponding move.

Cruz went 4-for-5 with a homer, four RBI and three stolen bases in a 9-4 win over Richmond on Wednesday.

After a slow start for Double-A Altoona, Cruz has strung together a seven-game hitting streak during which he's gone 11-for-30 with three homers and five stolen bases. On the downside, the 22-year-old has already made eight errors in 22 games while playing shortstop exclusively, so a move to the outfield may still be in the offing. After a lackluster showing in spring training, Cruz is building back his prospect tag and could become a candidate for promotion to Triple-A this summer.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Nationals.

His second-inning shot off Jon Lester got Atlanta on the board and extended Swanson's hitting streak to 11 games, a stretch during which he's slashing .372/.378/.767. The streak has boosted his batting average on the season to .239, and the shortstop also has nine homers, two steals, 22 runs and 23 RBI through 53 contests.

Lindor went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-6 win over Arizona.

All three of the shortstop's hits were singles. He scored on a James McCann home run in the first inning and Pete Alonso's go-ahead RBI single in the ninth. Lindor is on a five-game hitting streak, going 9-for-23 (.391) in that span. He's beginning to warm up after an ice-cold start to his Mets career. For the year, the 27-year-old is slashing .209/.300/.316 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 25 runs scored and four stolen bases across 205 plate appearances.

Edman went 2-for-5 with a run in a win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Edman came home with the first run of the game on Paul Goldschmidt's ground-rule double in the first inning, and he ultimately went on to record his third multi-hit effort in the last seven games. That stretch constitutes exactly half of a very productive sample for Edman, one in which he's slashed .321/.371/.536 with six doubles, two home runs, nine RBI, four walks, three stolen bases and 10 runs across 62 plate appearances.

Baez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and three strikeouts in Wednesday's 6-1 win over San Diego.

The shortstop had three hits in the three-game series against the Padres, all which left the yard. Baez is up to 14 homers, 38 RBI, 32 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 50 games. He'll look to provide more power in San Francisco this weekend.
