Turner went 1-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI, a stolen base and a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rays.

Even with only one hit Tuesday, the 27-year-old was able to contribute in a number of categories. Turner seems to be putting it all together with a .359/.413/.623 slash line, nine homers, 11 doubles, 35 runs, 25 RBI and six stolen bases in 41 games.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during a 7-3 loss to the Twins in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

He also found ways to be productive in the nightcap, going 0-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored. Edman's sixth-inning shot off Jose Berrios was his third homer of the year, but two of them have come in the last three days as he tries to re-discover last season's form in time for the Cards' stretch run.

Berti (finger) is not starting Tuesday against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Berti bruised his finger during Monday's contest, and the issue is still bothering him Tuesday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports. He could still miss a few more days with the injury but is not expected to head to the injured list. Jazz Chisholm will start at second base.

Ahmed will sit Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Ahmed's strong defense has kept him in the lineup for all but two games this season despite the fact that he's hitting just .238/.310/.371. Josh Rojas starts at shortstop in his absence.

Story went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a double in Monday's 1-0 loss to the Padres.

Story has been a big source of speed lately, with four stolen bases in his last five games. He now leads the majors with 12 steals. The shortstop also has nine homers, 32 runs scored and 20 RBI while slashing .294/.372/.544 through 40 contests.

Rojas went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored Monday against Atlanta.

Rojas recorded his first double in the second inning, driving in Jazz Chisholm. His other RBI proved to be the game-winner, as he hit that one in the top of 10th frame to put the Marlins up 5-4. The performance was Rojas' third multi-hit game since Aug. 21, though he's still hitting .375/.470/.607 across 66 plate appearances for the season.

Baez went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals.

The three-hit day marked Baez's first multi-hit game since Aug. 24. The shortstop has posted a batting average north of .270 in each of his last five seasons but is currently hitting just .205 through 156 at-bats in 2020. Perhaps his strong performance at the dish Monday can get him on the right track for Chicago's stretch run.

Berti suffered an index finger contusion during Monday's win against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

It's unclear exactly how Berti suffered the injury, but he wasn't in the field during the 10th inning as the Marlins picked up the win. Berti went 1-for-3 with one RBI, one walk and one strikeout prior to exiting the game. Whether he'll miss any additional time remains to be seen.

Crawford (hamstring) will start at shortstop and will bat sixth Monday against the Diamondbacks, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford was sidelined for back-to-back wins over the weekend while dealing with mild hamstring tightness, but the two days off were apparently all he needed to move past the issue. With Crawford back in the lineup, utility man Daniel Robertson will move back to a bench role.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored Sunday in the Braves' 10-3 win over the Nationals.

Swanson has dropped from the leadoff spot to No. 2 in the batting order after Ronald Acuna returned to action Friday following a three-game absence due to a hamstring issue, but both players enjoyed productive weekends as the Braves and Nationals split their four-game set. The shortstop has already churned out three two-hit games in September and is now sitting on a .294/.347/.475 slash line heading into Monday's series opener versus the Marlins.
