Baez went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a triple and two runs scored in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Dodgers.

Despite hitting eighth in this one, Baez made sure his presence was felt. He led off the fifth inning with a double and came around to score on a Kris Bryant single. Baez then led off the seventh with a triple and came around to score on a Tommy La Stella hit, giving the Cubs their final run of the afternoon. The 25-year-old is now batting .266 with an .837 OPS this season.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's loss to the Giants.

Rojas is hitting a lowly .200 in June, but he seems to be turning it around of late. Over his last four games, the 29-year-old is 7-for-12 (.583) with four RBI and four runs scored. Though the Miami lineup won't provide many run-scoring or run-producing opportunities, Rojas is among the team's leaders with 28 RBI on the year to go along with a .244/.308/.356 slash line.

Story went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Mets.

Story was the middle part of a back-to-back-to-back sequence in the third inning that helped turn a tie game into a four-run Colorado lead in the eventual 10-8 win. The 25-year-old has been red-hot all June, slashing .357/.395/.686 on the month. With 16 homers, he's on pace to top his personal-best 27 that he mashed in his rookie campaign in 2016.

Turner went 4-for-4 with a double, a homer and two runs scored Tuesday against the Orioles.

Turner's monster night Tuesday was a much-needed sign of life, as the speedy shortstop was hitting just .200 over his first 14 games in June. The strong effort raised his batting average by 11 points to a .267 mark to go along with his eight homers, 26 RBI and 20 stolen bases on the year.

Crawford was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a fractured left hand, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic Philadelphia reports. He's expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks.

Crawford suffered the injury when he was hit on the left hand by a Luke Weaver pitch in the fourth inning. Maikel Franco will likely handle everyday third base duties with Crawford expected to be sidelined for at least the next month. The young infielder was hitting just .194 prior to his exit Tuesday.

Camargo went 4-for-5 with a double, a homer, five RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

Camargo blew the game open with a grand slam in the second inning off of Blue Jays starter Jaime Garcia. He then tacked on two singles and a double to record the first four-hit game of his career. Camargo is hitting .400 (10-for-25) over his last seven starts and has raised his season average from .209 to .240 over that stretch.

Crawford exited Tuesday's game against the Cardinals early after being hit by a pitch on his left hand, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Crawford was plunked on the left hand by a Luke Weaver pitch in the fourth inning. He stayed in on the basepaths during the bottom of the fourth but was removed from the contest before the Phillies took the field in the next half-inning. Maikel Franco took over at third. We'll wait for an official diagnosis on Crawford's injury.

Baez (elbow) is in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Baez was able to come off the bench in the first game of the day and will return to the starting lineup in the second. He'll end up missing just one start after getting hit in the elbow by a pitch Sunday.

Ahmed went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, walk and two runs Monday in the Diamondbacks' 7-4 win over the Angels.

Ahmed's deep drive to center field in the eighth inning bounced off the glove of Mike Trout and over the fence for the shortstop's 10th home run of the season, marking the first time in his career he has reached double digits in the category. After recording just 13 hits in May, Ahmed has already surpassed that total in June (16), with seven of those hits going for extra bases. Though Ahmed's .204 ISO is nearly 40 points above his previous career best, the fact that he focused on retooling his swing path this spring in order to tap into more power offers hope that his slugging production won't regress much from here.

Baez (elbow) might be available for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

Baez left Sunday's game against the Cardinals after getting hit in the elbow by a pitch. He's not starting the afternoon portion of Tuesday's doubleheader but could to be good to go after a few more hours of rest. Either way, it doesn't sound as if his absence will be particularly lengthy.
