Rojas tested positive for COVID-19, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Roughly half of the Marlins' active roster has reportedly tested positive, though the majority of the names haven't been made public. Rojas got off to an incredibly hot start in the opening series against the Phillies, going 7-for-10 with a homer and a steal, but it's not yet clear when he (or any of his teammates) will next take the field.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 14-5 loss to the Rays.

After going yard Sunday, the shortstop stayed in a groove with his power stroke. Swanson has gone 6-for-15 through four games with two homers and seven RBI to begin 2020, but after striking out twice Monday he also carries a shaky 0:6 BB:K, a sign he could cool down in a hurry.

Story went 2-for-2 with two home runs, three RBI and two walks in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

Story's two-run blast in the fourth inning was his first of the young 2020 season, and he followed it with his second just two innings later. The 27-year-old shortstop has been a fantasy stud over the last few seasons and that should continue to be the case in a shortened 2020 campaign.

Edman went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Pittsburgh.

Edman gave the Cardinals a 1-0 lead with his RBI single in the third inning, but it was the only run his team could manage in the contest. The 25-year-old utilityman has collected a hit in each of his first three games this season.

Swanson went 3-for-5 with a team-high five RBI, a homer and two runs scored in Sunday's 14-1 drubbing of the Mets.

Swanson finished the game a triple short of the cycle. He provided an RBI single in the first inning and knocked in another pair in the third as part of a five-run rally. The shortstop's biggest hit of the night was a fourth-inning two-run home run. He's 5-for-12 (.417) with six RBI and three runs scored through three games this season.

Ahmed went 0-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 4-3 win over San Diego.

Ahmed's ninth-inning walk was the first time he reached base safely this season. Arizona's nine-hole hitter is 0-for-9 through the first three games, a slow start for the shortstop who belted 35 home runs and drove in 152 runs over the last two seasons.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with a home run, triple, four RBI and three runs scored Sunday against the Phillies.

Rojas began his productive day at the dish with a three-run home run in the second inning against Vince Velasquez. He followed that with an RBI triple in the fourth inning before coming around to score. Rojas notched multi-hit performances in all three games against the Phillies, and he will get a few more positive matchups as the Marlins open a series against Baltimore on Monday.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Yankees.

Turner entered the game 0-for-7 on the season but came through with a nice day at the dish. The highlight came in the third inning, when he took Jonathan Loaisiga deep for his first home run of the campaign. He'll look build on this multi-hit performance as the Nationals square off against the Blue Jays in their second series of the season.

Edman went 1-for-5 with a two-run triple in a win over the Pirates on Saturday.

As expected heading into the season, the 25-year-old Edman appears to have an everyday role at third base with the implementation of the universal designated hitter affording Matt Carpenter the opportunity to slide into that role. Edman has only two hits in his first 10 at-bats, but Saturday's three-bagger in the eighth inning brought home Harrison Bader and Kolten Wong to close out the scoring. Edman legged out an impressive seven triples in his first big-league season in 2019, and his above-average speed could well lead to a healthy amount of three-baggers again this year.

Turner went 0-for-5 with a strikeout and committed two errors in Saturday's win over the Yankees.

The Nats' leadoff hitter has stumbled out of the gate, as he went 0-for-2 in Thursday's opener as well. It's not surprising that some players are a little further behind the curve than others given the nature of this season, but Turner should find a groove eventually. Whether that's quickly enough to satisfy those with fantasy shares in him during an abbreviated 60-game schedule is another question.
