Edman went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in a 5-0 win over the Rockies on Friday.

Edman singled and later scored in the fifth inning Friday. He also drew the Cardinals' only walk in the game. The leadoff man has reached safely in 14 of his last 15 games. In 146 plate appearances, the 26-year-old is slashing .299/.356/.418 and leads his team with 40 hits.

Crawford isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Crawford has gone 4-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI, four runs, five walks and a stolen base in his last three games. Mauricio Dubon will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Lindor went 1-for-3 with three walks and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.

The shortstop had gone 0-for-23 over his prior six games, but Lindor snapped his slump while adding value with his batting eye. He hasn't lived up to his huge contract extension yet, slashing .163/.297/.207 with one homer and zero steals in 26 games, but Thursday's performance could be a sign he's coming around.

Adrianza went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

Adrianza only recorded one knock, but he made his presence felt -- his single to center scored both Ozzie Albies and Marcell Ozuna in the top of the fourth inning to put Atlanta up 3-0. Perhaps this is the game that will boost Adrianza's confidence going forward, as he only has two hits over his last 14 at-bats (nine games).

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a solo shot in Thursday's victory over the Diamondbacks.

The 32-year-old hit a solo shot off Madison Bumgarner in the first inning, his first home run of the season. Rojas continues to serve well as the leadoff man for the Marlins, as he's slashing .280/.368/.430 with a homer, three steals, 11 RBI and 18 runs this year.

Edman went 2-for-4 in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Edman went 1-for-4 in Game 1 of the doubleheader and added two more hits in the second half of the twin bill, pushing his average to .299 with a .780 OPS. The right fielder has hit safely in nine of his last 11 games and is currently riding a three-game hitting streak after going a combined 3-for-8 during the doubleheader.

DeJong went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in the 4-1 win Wednesday over the Mets.

DeJong slammed a home run off Marcus Stroman in the fifth inning to open up the lead. The 27-year-old has struggled at the plate this year, slashing .192/.288/.413. However, he leads the Cardinals with seven home runs and 13 walks.

Turner went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to Atlanta.

The shortstop's eighth-inning blast off Josh Tomlin was too little, too late for the Nats. Turner continues to streak towards a career year, hitting .314 with seven homers, seven steals, 12 RBI and 14 runs through 26 games.

Crawford went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored during Wednesday's 6-5 loss at Colorado.

The 34-year-old was incredibly productive during the three-game set at Coors Field, going 4-for-5 with two home runs, five walks, a stolen base, four RBI and four runs. Crawford has a .244/.337/.500 slash line with six home runs and three stolen bases through 26 games in 2021.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a triple, a double, a walk, two RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 8-0 win over Arizona.

Rojas got aboard with a walk in the first inning and scored on a Brian Anderson single. In the second, Rojas added an RBI triple, and he supplied an RBI double in the seventh. The infielder has been hitting the ball hard lately, lacing four extra-base hits in his last four games. He has yet to smack a home run, but he's knocked two triples and eight doubles among his 26 hits this year. Rojas also has three stolen bases, 10 RBI and 17 runs scored in 28 contests.
