Edman went 3-for-7 with a double, a run and an RBI during Tuesday's 16-2 win over the Reds.

The 25-year-old now has multiple hits in each of the past three games and is 15-for-43 (.349 average) over his past 10 contests. Edman has a .274/.343/.379 slash line with one homer, one steal, five doubles, 12 runs and 12 RBI in 25 games this season.

Edman, who went 2-for-5 with a double and a run in a win over the Reds on Monday, hit .344 (11-for-32) with two doubles, three RBI, three walks, a stolen base and four runs over the final eight games of August.

The versatile 25-year-old has pulled his season line out of the ditch with his current hot streak, as he's quickly boosted his average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage by 47, 47 and 25 points, respectively, in that stretch. Edman's current .261/.337/.364 slash line is beginning to progressively approximate the impressive .304/.350/.500 figures he generated during his 2019 rookie campaign, with a reduction in strikeout rate during that eight-game sample (16.7 percent, down from 19.4 percent) helping his cause.

Story isn't in Tuesday's lineup against the Giants, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Story has had a rough stretch at the plate recently as he's gone 0-for-8 with six strikeouts over the past two games. He'll get a day off Tuesday with Garrett Hampson starting at shortstop.

Turner went 4-for-5 with a solo homer and three runs scored in Monday's 8-6 loss to the Phillies.

Turner's seventh-inning solo homer gives him seven on the season. The 27-year-old shortstop has been unstoppable lately; he's riding a 16-game hitting streak with 15 hits in the last four games.

DeJong went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and a stolen base in Monday's 7-5 win over the Reds.

His fourth-inning blast with the bases loaded chased Anthony DeSclafani from the game and proved to be the decisive hit in the game after the Cards' bullpen made things interesting. DeJong has two homers and 12 RBI through 14 games, but it's his .321 batting average that's wildly exceeding expectations.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with two singles, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

Rojas' pair of singles brought his batting average up to .349. He drove in Lewin Diaz in the sixth inning for his 12th RBI of the season and also swiped his second bag. The shortstop will take a three-game hit streak into the next series against Toronto.

Garcia isn't in Monday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Garcia drew the start at shortstop over the past two games and went 1-for-7 with four strikeouts. He'll take a breather Monday with Freddy Galvis starting at shortstop.

Arcia isn't in the lineup Monday against the Pirates.

Arcia went hitless in four at-bats Sunday, and he'll retreat to the bench for the series finale against Pittsburgh. Luis Urias will shift to shortstop with Keston Hiura starting at second base.

Berti is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

He'll take a seat after five consecutive starts out of the leadoff spot, during which he went 3-for-16 with four walks, four runs and three stolen bases. Corey Dickerson will replace Berti atop the order Monday, while Lewis Brinson picks up a start in center field.

Swanson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 12-10 win over the Phillies.

Swanson's second-inning walk came with the bases-loaded to score Austin Riley, and Swanson later scored on a Marcell Ozuna single. In the ninth, Swanson added a homer to give the Braves an insurance run. The shortstop is slashing a strong .303/.343/.492 with five homers, 20 RBI, 29 runs scored and four stolen bases through 33 games this season.
