DeJong went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Brewers on Monday.

The 25-year-old hadn't gone deep since April 5, but he's been thriving at the plate in other ways. DeJong already owns a 12-game hitting streak this season, and he's gotten a new one started by lacing a double and Monday's homer over the last two games.

Baez went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs and an RBI to help the Cubs to a 7-2 win over the Marlins on Monday.

Baez had just one hit in his last 12 at-bats coming into the contest, but he broke out of the brief skid with this three-hit effort. The 26-year-old is now slashing .288/.319/.545 with four homers and 13 RBI through 66 at-bats.

Mauricio went 4-for-6 with a run scored and an RBI for Low-A Columbia on Sunday.

After an 0-for-4 performance Opening Day, Mauricio has gone on a tear, hitting safely in eight straight games and pushing his slash line to .368/.400/.395. The 18-year-old does have a worrying 1:10 BB:K and has gone 0-for-2 in stolen base attempts, but it's not a surprise that older competition has been able to find some flaws in his game. Mauricio's upside is elite if he puts everything together, and the Mets will be patient with the organization's No. 4 fantasy prospect.

Swanson is out of the lineup for Sunday night's game against the Mets, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Swanson started the first 14 games of the year but heads to the bench after going 1-for-4 with three RBI and a walk Saturday. Johan Camargo will start at shortstop and bat sixth in his stead for the series finale.

Herrera is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Herrera saw fairly regular action through the first 10 games of the year but has now been in the lineup only once in the past six contests. The 26-year-old can play all three outfield spots but has seen only two starts in right field despite Garrett Cooper (calf) being on the injured list, with Peter O'Brien -- prior to his demotion -- and Austin Dean instead garnering the recent starts.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas began the season in a short-side platoon at shortstop with JT Riddle but had started the last four games entering Sunday. Rojas has certainly looked the better of the two at the plate with a .316/.372/.421 slash line. Riddle will nonetheless enter the starting lineup for the series finale, batting sixth.

Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.

The shortstop hasn't been able to catch fire at the plate yet this season, managing a .222/.286/.444 slash line through 14 games, but his three homers already matches his total from all of last year. Arcia did slug 15 jacks in 2017, so some modest power numbers aren't a huge surprise, but fantasy GMs who rostered him are likely hoping he doesn't forget to run as well -- he has yet to even attempt a stolen base.

Baez won't play Sunday against the Angels with the contest being postponed due to inclement weather in Chicago, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

A makeup date for the interleague game has yet to be announced. Baez and the Cubs will be back in action Monday, when the team kicks off a three-game series in Miami.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Padres.

Ahmed hit his sixth double and collected a fifth multi-hit game over 15 games, but he couldn't deliver in the most crucial moment with the bases loaded in the seventh inning. His sharp comebacker was expertly handled by Padres reliever Trey Wingenter, who initiated a 1-2-3 double play. Ahmed continues to hit, slashing .310/.323/.466, but remains in the lower third of a Diamondbacks batting order that has cooled off since a hot first week.

Rojas went 3-for-3 with three runs scored and one RBI in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Phillies.

Rojas had his second three-hit game of the season as he received the start at shortstop for the fourth straight game. The 30-year-old is slashing .316/.372/.421 with four doubles and six RBI through 38 at-bats.
