Trevor Story SS | BOS
Rockies' Trevor Story: On track for Tuesday return
Story (elbow) threw on the field Friday and remains on track to return from the injured list Tuesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Story is set to miss one day more than the minimum due to right elbow inflammation, as the Rockies don't play Monday, the first day he'd be eligible to return. Brendan Rodgers has handled shortstop in his absence, but Story should return to his everyday role once healthy.

Brandon Crawford SS | STL
Giants' Brandon Crawford: Homers, plates four
Crawford went 2-for-3 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Thursday's win over the Cubs.
Crawford was the undisputed star for the Giants on Thursday, as he delivered an RBI single in the bottom of the second inning before socking his 12th long ball of the season against Rex Brothers in the fifth. The shortstop hadn't homered since May 20, and he hadn't recorded multiple RBI in a game since May 25.

Nick Ahmed SS | TEX
Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Heating up
Ahmed went 4-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Brewers.
Ahmed is putting an abysmal start to the season behind him, as the shortstop has heated up since late May. He was batting just .187 as of May 23 but since then has gone 14-for-34 (.412) over nine games, upping his average to .236 for the season.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Dodgers' Corey Seager: Joining team on road trip
Seager (hand) will travel with the Dodgers on their upcoming six-game road trip, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Seager recently shed his cast and has been fielding grounders with just his glove hand, per Matthew Moreno of Dodger Blue, but he is still wearing a splint. The shortstop has been able to take part in some baseball activities, though he's isn't yet able to take two-handed swings. Seager remains at least two weeks away from a return.

Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Sent back to Triple-A
Camargo was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
Camargo continues to bounce on and off the fringe of Atlanta's roster, with his latest stint in the big leagues lasting less than a week. He's gone 0-for-15 at the plate thus far this season. Tucker Davidson was recalled in a corresponding move.

Oneil Cruz CF | PIT
Pirates' Oneil Cruz: Big night at plate
Cruz went 4-for-5 with a homer, four RBI and three stolen bases in a 9-4 win over Richmond on Wednesday.
After a slow start for Double-A Altoona, Cruz has strung together a seven-game hitting streak during which he's gone 11-for-30 with three homers and five stolen bases. On the downside, the 22-year-old has already made eight errors in 22 games while playing shortstop exclusively, so a move to the outfield may still be in the offing. After a lackluster showing in spring training, Cruz is building back his prospect tag and could become a candidate for promotion to Triple-A this summer.

Dansby Swanson SS | CHC
Braves' Dansby Swanson: Pops ninth homer
Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Nationals.
His second-inning shot off Jon Lester got Atlanta on the board and extended Swanson's hitting streak to 11 games, a stretch during which he's slashing .372/.378/.767. The streak has boosted his batting average on the season to .239, and the shortstop also has nine homers, two steals, 22 runs and 23 RBI through 53 contests.
