Arcia went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run in Monday's victory over the Nationals.

Arcia has not done much in the power department over the last couple weeks, but he is now hitting .280 (28-for-100) with a .767 OPS over his last 30 games, which has been more than enough to keep him and his stellar defense in the lineup on an everyday basis.

Berti went 1-for-2 with a solo homer, two runs scored and two walks in Monday's 6-5 win over the Cubs.

Berti's sixth-inning homer was the first of his short MLB career and knotted the game up at 3-3. On the year, he's 8-for-33 but has scored eight runs and driven in three.

Herrera sits for the second straight contest Monday against the Cubs, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Herrera seemed to be claiming the starting center field role after starting three straight games from Wednesday to Saturday, but he's now been on the bench for two straight. Isaac Galloway starts again Monday.

DeJong went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 13-5 loss to the Cubs.

DeJong drilled a two-run homer to make it 13-4 in the ninth inning, but obviously it was a futile effort. The 25-year-old connected for his first homer since April 23, giving him six on the year alongside a .992 OPS in 149 plate appearances.

Crawford hit a two-run, pinch-hit homer in the ninth inning of Sunday's 6-5 win over the Reds.

Crawford got the day off but still made an impact, picking a great time to hit his first homer of 2019. Still, he owns an ugly .211 average with five RBI and 32 strikeouts on the year.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a walk and a run in the Dodgers' 8-5 defeat to the Padres on Sunday.

The shortstop has been slumping of late, but he reached base three times in this contest, lacing a pair of two-baggers to give him 10 doubles on the season. He's still hitting just .232 through 125 at-bats, but hopefully this performance is a sign Seager is primed for a hot streak that will start to pump his average back toward his career mark of .295.

Crawford will sit Sunday against Cincinnati.

Crawford heads to the bench for just the third time all season. Yangervis Solarte gets the call at shortstop.

Ahmed is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

Ahmed sits for just the second time all season. Ketel Marte will handle shortstop in his absence.

Berti is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Braves, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Berti had started six of the Marlins' previous seven games, with his spike in at-bats mostly a result of Neil Walker missing time due to hamstring and knee injuries. Walker returned to the lineup Saturday and will check in at first base again in the series finale, so Berti will retreat to a bench role while Martin Prado moves across the diamond to the hot corner.

Herrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Herrera had started each of the past three games in center field and provided the Miami offense with a nice lift, registering four hits in 11 at-bats and driving in four. Isaac Galloway will check into the starting nine in the series finale, but Herrera looks to be ahead of him on the depth chart for now.
