DeJong went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Rockies on Thursday.

The struggling shortstop enjoyed some rare success at the plate, churning out his first multi-hit effort since May 8, which also came against the Rockies. While a near one-month stay on the injured list accounts for some of that long gap, DeJong is going through what is easily the most difficult season of his career at the plate -- even factoring in Thursday's production, his season slash line sits at an abysmal .176/.275/.357 across 207 plate appearances.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk and a run in a loss to the Rockies on Thursday.

The talented outfielder's three-bagger was already his third of the season, and he extended his modest hitting streak to three games in the process. The brief surge comes in the wake of a relatively rare skid for Edman, who'd gone 0-for-13 in the four games prior to his current stretch.

Abrams exited Wednesday's contest with Double-A San Antonio after a collision at second base in the ninth inning, MLB.com reports.

Abrams went 1-for-4 in the contest before the incident, which resulted in the 20-year-old leaving the field unable to put much weight on his left leg. The extent of the injury is unclear, but it's worth noting that Abrams did not play in either game of Thursday's doubleheader. He has been solid in his first Double-A campaign, slashing .290/.357/.414 with two homers, 23 RBI and 13 stolen bases over 42 games.

Turner couldn't get the swelling in his finger to go down and may miss a few games, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Turner was held out of the lineup Thursday with a jammed finger, but manager Davey Martinez revealed more details after the game. Though there's no official word, it appears that Turner will miss additional time during the team's weekend series against the Dodgers.

Ahmed is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Giants.

Ahmed will take a seat after starting four consecutive games. Josh Rojas will take over at shortstop and hit leadoff, while Josh VanMeter will enter the lineup at second base and hit seventh.

Turner (finger) isn't starting Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Turner hit for the cycle and scored four runs with two stolen bases in Wednesday's win over the Rays, but he jammed his left middle finger in the bottom of the seventh inning and was removed from the game as a result. The 28-year-old is considered day-to-day for now, but Starlin Castro will shift to shortstop while Alex Avila takes over at second base.

Manager Dave Roberts is hopeful that Seager (hand) could return right after the All-Star break, which ends July 16, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Seager was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday after he was shut down from hitting recently. While Roberts was hopeful that the shortstop could return shortly after the All-Star break, he isn't certain of the 27-year-old's timeline following the move to the 60-day IL. A better idea of Seager's status could be revealed once he's able to resume baseball activities.

Low-A Augusta placed Grissom on its 7-day injured list Monday with an unspecified injury.

Before landing on the shelf, the 20-year-old outfielder was hitting .271 with two home runs and five stolen bases across 166 plate appearances. Augusta has yet to shed light on the nature of Grissom's injury or provide information on when he might be ready to play again.

Adrianza came off the bench and went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 20-2 win over the Mets.

After Atlanta built an 11-run lead heading into the bottom of the seventh, Freddie Freeman was pulled from the contest in favor of Adrianza. The 31-year-old ensured the offense didn't suffer from Freeman's departure, as he took Mets reliever Thomas Szapucki deep in his first at-bat. Adrianza is expected to fill a utility role for Atlanta moving forward and shouldn't be in store for much more than a start or two per week.

Adames went 1-for-3 with a grand slam, three runs scored and a a pair of walks against the Cubs on Wednesday.

The Brewers trailed 7-0 in the first inning but stormed back with 15 unanswered runs, highlighted by Adames' blast off Tommy Nance in the fourth inning. It was the second homer in the last three games for Adames, who is slashing .280/.362/.523 in 132 at-bats since being acquired from Tampa Bay in May. The 25-year-old has gone yard three times in his last six games while showing much-improved plate discipline with seven walks during that stretch.
