Crawford went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and two doubles in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Mariners.

Crawford smacked his first double in the second inning and scored on a Mauricio Dubon single. In the seventh, Crawford added a solo shot for the Giants' final run. The shortstop is now slashing .281/.349/.459 with five homers, 18 RBI, 22 runs scored and a stolen base through 43 contests. This was his second multi-hit effort in 10 games in September.

Edman, who went 2-for-4 with a run in a loss to the Brewers on Tuesday, is hitting .318 (7-for-22) with a home run, two RBI, five walks, a stolen base and four runs across his last six games entering Wednesday's doubleheader.

The versatile 25-year-old continues to serve as a highly valuable defensive asset for manager Mike Shildt, but he's certainly picking up his contributions at the plate. Helping Edman to progressively increase his presence on the basepaths has been an improved walk rate, a figure that's up to 7.2 percent this year after sitting at 4.6 percent in his 2019 rookie campaign.

Baez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a stolen base Tuesday against Cleveland.

Baez started his strong performance with a solo home run in the second inning to record his seventh long ball of the season. It was his first home run since Sept. 2. In the eighth frame, he reached base after being hit by a pitch and swiped his second bag of the season during the next at-bat. To this point in the campaign, Baez is hitting .206/.245/.378 with 20 RBI and 25 runs scored across 48 contests.

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, walk and two runs scored in Monday's 6-2 win over the Phillies.

Rojas extended Miami's lead to 5-1 with his homer off David Phelps in the sixth. The blast was the infielder's third long ball and it gave him his 17th RBI of the season. He will take a very strong .370/.452/.593 slash line into Tuesday's game against Boston.

Arcia isn't starting Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Arcia is set for a rare day off, playing in 44 of Milwaukee's 45 games so far this season. Luis Urias gets the nod at shortstop and will bat seventh.

Garcia isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

Garcia went 2-for-3 with one run and a strikeout during the first game of the doubleheader. He'll get a breather with Kyle Farmer taking over at shortstop during the nightcap.

DeJong went 0-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly, two walks and a run in a loss to the Reds on Sunday.

It wasn't the most thrilling of stat lines for fantasy managers, but there was certainly some production to be gleaned from DeJong's solid day. The shortstop still sports an impressive .369 on-base percentage on the season thanks in part to a career-high 12.6 percent walk rate, but he's seen his average drop 37 points to .284 thus far in September thanks to a middling 10-for-42 tally at the plate over the first 14 games of the month.

Rojas (hand) went 2-for-3 with a two-RBI double and a run scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Phillies in Game 2 of their doubleheader.

Rojas was not in the lineup for the first game of the twin bill, but he made an impact in the nightcap. The shortstop's big hit came in the sixth inning, when he scored Garrett Cooper and Jazz Chisholm on a double. Rojas came around to score himself on a Chad Wallach homer. The 31-year-old Rojas is slashing .359/.438/.551 with two homers, 16 RBI, 12 runs scored and three stolen bases in 26 games this year.

Rojas (hand) is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

The 31-year-old sat out the matinee after sustaining a hand injury during Saturday's contest, but he'll rejoin the lineup for Game 2. Rojas is 9-for-24 with three doubles over his past seven games.

Edman is not in the lineup Sunday against the Reds, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Edman started the past 16 games and will receive the day off for the series finale. Rangel Ravelo will receive the start in right field for the Cardinals.
