Turner went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases and a run Saturday in the Nationals' 7-2 win over the Marlins.

Turner is now a perfect 7-for-7 on stolen-base attempts this season, with his total placing him only one behind the Athletics' Ramon Laureano and the Royals' Whit Merrifield for the MLB lead. The shortstop has supplemented the stolen-base production with six home runs through 97 plate appearances, putting him well on pace to surpass his previous career high (19 in 2018 and 2019) in the category.

Edman went 4-for-6 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 12-5 win over the Pirates.

The switch hitter continues to thrive at the top of the Cards' order. Edman has gone 12-for-34 (.353) over the last eight games, pushing his slash line on the season to .295/.347/.402 with two homers, four steals, six RBI and 14 runs through 27 contests.

DeJong went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 12-5 win over the Pirates.

He got the Cards' offensive eruption started by taking Trevor Cahill deep in the first inning. DeJong had been in a funk at the plate, going 4-for-32 (.125) over his prior nine games with zero extra-base hits, but despite a .167/.272/.367 slash line on the season the shortstop has six homers and 13 RBI through 25 contests.

Story went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, three additional runs scored and a walk in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Story hit his third home run of the season off Caleb Smith in the sixth inning. He has scored seven runs over his last four games and is slashing .283/.336/.495 in 110 plate appearances this year.

Crawford (calf) will sit Saturday against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford left Friday's series opener with a left calf contusion and will sit for at least one game. Mauricio Dubon takes over at shortstop in his absence, though the veteran may be available off the bench.

Crawford suffered a left calf contusion in Friday's loss to the Padres, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Crawford was hit by a pitch in the top of the fifth inning, and he was replaced by Mauricio Dubon at shortstop in the bottom half of the frame. Manager Gabe Kapler said that Crawford will be evaluated Saturday, and a better idea of his status could be determined once the evaluation is complete.

Camargo was optioned to the alternate site Thursday.

Camargo used to have a locked-down place on Atlanta's bench, but he's fallen down the hierarchy in recent seasons. He didn't make the team's Opening Day roster but has already spent two brief stints with the team, going 0-for-11 in limited action. He'll likely keep bouncing on and off the roster throughout the year.

Baez (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's win over Atlanta.

Baez had missed the previous three games with a hamstring strain, but he looked comfortable legging out his first triple of the season. The shortstop is still batting just .235, but he's talented enough to heat up quickly and start producing elite numbers.

Baez (hamstring) will start at shortstop and bat fifth Thursday against Atlanta.

Baez missed the last three games with a mild left hamstring strain, but the time off appears to have allowed him to recover from the injury. With a .276 OBP and a career-worst 43.2 percent strikeout rate over 81 plate appearances this season, Baez has been a disappointment from a real-life standpoint, but he's been productive for fantasy purposes with six home runs, five stolen bases, 17 RBI and 12 runs in 20 games.

DeJong isn't starting Thursday's game against the Phillies, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

DeJong will get a breather after he went 0-for-7 with a walk, a run and two strikeouts in the last two contests. Edmundo Sosa will start at shortstop and bat eighth.
