Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against Cleveland.

Arcia took Nick Wittgren deep in the eighth inning to tie the game at three. It was his third home run of the season, though he has just three additional extra-base hits in 111 plate appearances. Despite his relative lack of production at the plate, Arcia has continued to get the majority of starts at shortstop for the Brewers.

DeJong went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs.

DeJong drove in a pair of runs in the matinee and kicked off the scoring in the nightcap with a solo shot to left field in the second inning for an overall productive twin bill. The shortstop is hitting an even .300 on the season with a .845 OPS, three home runs and 15 RBI.

Crawford will sit against lefty Madison Bumgarner and the Diamondbacks on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford has started against just seven of the 17 lefties the Giants have faced this season and won't get the opportunity to face his former teammate Saturday. Daniel Robertson gets the start at shortstop in his absence.

Ahmed went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's win over the Giants.

Ahmed's three-hit performance -- the fourth time he's reached that feat this season -- was a positive sign considering he was in a 1-for-16 slump over his previous five games. Ahmed is hitting just .194 with a .636 OPS across his last 10 contests.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a home run and a three RBI in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

He was less impressive in the nightcap, going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored, but Swanson's two-run shot in the third inning of the opener proved to be the game-winning hit in a 7-1 victory. On the season, the shortstop is slashing .294/.337/.484 with six homers, four steals, 24 RBI and 34 runs in 38 games.

Turner went 3-for-9 with a solo home run and a stolen base across both games of Friday's doubleheader against Atlanta.

After going 2-for-4 with a steal during a loss in the matinee, Turner took Will Smith deep in the sixth inning of the nightcap to put the Nats ahead for good in an eventual 10-9 win. The shortstop remains one of the hottest hitters in the league -- over his last 26 games, Turner is slashing .427/.471/.755 with eight homers, four steals, 20 RBI and 28 runs.

Rojas (abdomen) is starting at shortstop and batting sixth Friday against the Rays, Andre Fernandez of Sirius XM Radio reports.

The 31-year-old was removed from Tuesday's game with abdominal soreness and didn't play Wednesday, but he's back in the lineup after Thursday's scheduled off day. Rojas has a .250/.325/.389 slash line with one home run and one stolen base in 12 games since rejoining the Marlins on Aug. 21.

Camargo is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Camargo started the past 21 games, but he'll head to the bench for Friday's matinee after posting a .633 OPS during that stretch. Adeiny Hechavarria will take over at the keystone for Atlanta.

Seager went 3-for-4 with a run scored in a victory over Arizona on Thursday.

Seager has been among the most consistent hitters in baseball this season, logging 14 multi-hit games and going back-to-back contests without a hit only once. During his current six-game hitting streak, Seager has gone 10-for-24 (.417) with three doubles, a home run and six runs scored. He ranks seventh in the National League with a .323 average this season.

Mateo made his first career start in center field Thursday and went 0-for-2 with a strikeout.

Mateo had logged time in both right field and left field as well as at second base prior to Thursday, and he added center field to the list against the Angels as San Diego elected to give Trent Grisham a breather. Mateo hadn't started a game since Aug. 28, so his versatility may be his primary contribution as he looks to stick on the active roster in spite of a .188 season average.
