Turner went 4-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Blue Jays.

The multitalented shortstop continues to rake. Over the last 13 games, Turner has seven multi-hit outings, slashing .373/.418/.667 during that stretch with four homers, four steals, six RBI and seven runs scored.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 12-3 loss to San Diego.

Ahmed has hit in four straight games after getting a two-day break last weekend. The shortstop opened the season in a miserable 3-for-41 slump but has turned things around during this hitting streak, going 6-for-13 with three doubles.

Mateo went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over Arizona.

Mateo connected on a 405-foot shot to left field off Kevin Ginkel in the ninth inning for his first home run as a major leaguer. The long ball came in his 57th career big-league at-bat. Mateo is off to a slow start overall this season, slashing .226/.314/.387.

Baez (hamstring) isn't starting Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Baez worked on the field ahead of Wednesday's contest, but he'll be out of the lineup for a third straight game due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain. Nico Hoerner will take over at shortstop and bat eighth. Manager David Ross said that Baez was moving well during his pregame work, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. As a result, he'll be available off the bench Wednesday and could be back in the starting nine for Thursday's series finale against Atlanta.

Seager isn't in Wednesday's lineup against the Reds, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Seager went 0-for-4 with a walk in Tuesday's loss to Cincinnati. Gavin Lux will shift to shortstop while Chris Taylor starts at second base.

Baez underwent an MRI on Tuesday that revealed a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Baez hasn't appeared in either of the last two games due to a hamstring issue, although he was reportedly available off the bench Tuesday. The 28-year-old's hamstring strain is considered to be mild, and the team will monitor him ahead of Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Crawford went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Rockies.

Crawford returned from a two-game absence caused by a quadriceps injury. He promptly swatted a clutch homer, tying the game at four in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was Crawford's fourth home run of the season, though he is still hitting .217/.260/.520 across 73 plate appearances.

Berti went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in a 5-4 loss to the Brewers on Tuesday.

Berti singled and scored a run in the fifth and then came back up in the seventh and sent a long ball to straightaway center to reduce the Marlins' deficit to 5-4. Tuesday was only his second multi-hit effort of the season, but it included his second home run in four games after he failed to leave the yard during first 17 contests. Overall, Berti is still struggling at the plate, as he's slashing .212/.300/.385 with five extra-base hits, eight RBI and nine runs scored to go along with a 6:16 BB:K.

Edman went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Phillies.

Edman notched a hit for a third straight game when he roped a double down the right-field line to plate a pair of runs and put the Cardinals up 3-1 in the second inning. The 26-year-old would end up getting on base again in the seventh with a single and came around to score on a Paul Goldschmidt double to extend his team's lead to 5-2. Edman is now slashing .277/.333/.394 with two home runs, six RBI and 12 runs scored as the Cardinals' primary leadoff hitter.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.

All three hits were singles, but Swanson did improve his line with his first steal of the season. The shortstop came into this series having gone just 3-for-26 over the last eight contests, but he's feasting off Cubs pitching with five hits in the last two games.
