Manager Dave Roberts said Seager suffered a Grade 2-plus left hamstring strain in the ninth inning of Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Angels and will likely be headed to the 10-day injured list, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Seager suffered the injury when he pulled up lame while running to third base on an Alex Verdugo base hit. He'll undergo an MRI on Wednesday before the extent of the injury is officially known, but if the diagnosis is confirmed, the star shortstop would likely be sidelined for around 4-to-6 weeks, if not longer. Utility man Chris Taylor would represent the most likely candidate to settle into an everyday role while Seager is on the mend.

Ahmed went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Phillies.

Ahmed returned to action after missing one game due to a foot injury, one the Diamondbacks had implied wasn't a serious setback. The shortstop is hitting a career-high .269 while also generating a career-best .326 on-base percentage. The tradeoff for better hitting has been a drop in home runs -- he's hit four homers in 66 games after knocking 16 in 2018.

Ahmed (foot) is starting at shortstop and batting seventh Tuesday against the Phillies, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Ahmed was lifted from Sunday's series finale due to a bruised left foot, but after sitting out Monday, he'll be ready to roll for the second contest of the series. He's slashing .268/.323/.407 with four homers, 25 RBI and four stolen bases through 65 games this season.

Turner went 3-for-6 with a double, a triple, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Monday's rout of the White Sox.

He was caught stealing for the first time this season, but otherwise it was another hugely productive evening for the shortstop. Turner's now reeled off three straight multi-hit performances, and he's slashing .340/.375/.698 over his last 12 games with 11 extra-base hits (six doubles, two triples and three homers) among his 18 knocks.

DeJong is not in the lineup Monday against the Marlins.

DeJong will head to the bench for what appears to be a rare day off following a string of 32 straight starts during which he slashed .200/.341/.364 with five homers and two stolen bases. Yairo Munoz is starting at shortstop and hitting sixth in place of DeJong on Monday.

Ahmed (foot) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

The Diamondbacks are viewing Ahmed as day-to-day for the time being after he sustained a bone contusion in his left foot during Sunday's win over the Blue Jays. If Ahmed's foot fails to show much improvement after a day or two of rest, a stint on the 10-day injured list would become more realistic. Ketel Marte will spell Ahmed at shortstop in the first game of Arizona's East Coast road swing.

Ahmed is believed to have a bone contusion in his left foot, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Ahmed sustained the injury during the third inning Sunday and was removed from the Diamondbacks' win over the Blue Jays. The injury is not considered serious, and there are no plans for Ahmed to undergo tests.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in a victory over San Diego on Sunday.

Turner's blast -- a 425-bomb to center field -- was the second of four consecutive home runs that put Washington in the history books in the eighth inning. He also scored Washington's first run after reaching base on an error in the first inning. Over his last 11 games, Turner has gone 15-for-47 (.319) with a pair of homers and nine runs scored. His season slash line is now up to .273/.316/.491.

Ahmed was removed from Sunday's 8-2 win over the Blue Jays in the third inning with a sore left foot.

Jarrod Dyson came off the bench to replace Ahmed, stepping in as the Diamondbacks' center fielder while Ketel Marte shifted to shortstop. Ahmed, who singled in his lone at-bat before departing, is viewed as day-to-day ahead of Monday's game in Philadelphia.

Seager went 4-for-5 with two doubles and four RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Giants.

The Giants were determined not to let Cody Bellinger beat them, walking the Dodgers' cleanup hitter three times in five plate appearances, but Seager picked up the slack from the five hole. The shortstop has banged out four straight multi-hit efforts, but he's been hot for a lot longer than that -- Seager is now slashing .330/.392/.637 over his last 24 games with six homers and 26 RBI.
