DeJong began rehabbing his hand Monday, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

DeJong began what is being called minor rehab work after undergoing successful surgery on his fractured left hand over the weekend. It's still too early in his rehab for a timetable to be determined, but the procedure he underwent was done in order to expedite what would otherwise be an 8-to-12 week recovery. Jedd Gyorko and Greg Garcia have both seen reps at shortstop in his absence.

Crawford (forearm) fielded some grounders at extended spring training Monday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic Philadelphia reports.

Crawford also did some throwing, and manager Gabe Kapler said it went well afterwards. While the 23-year-old has been getting in work at the Phillies' spring training facility recently, he remains without a timetable for his return. For now, Scott Kingery will continue to fill in at shortstop for Crawford, who has been sidelined since the end of April with a Grade 1 forearm strain.

Story went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and a pair of RBI in the Rockies' 9-5 defeat to the Giants on Sunday.

Story now has nine hits in his last 22 at-bats to bring his batting average up to .250 -- exactly the mark he's posted for his career over 288 games. While that means the average probably shouldn't be expected to deviate too much from that throughout the season, the 27-year-old doesn't need to be competing for batting titles in order to continue to provide excellent fantasy value. He now has an .847 OPS to go along with 10 homers, 35 RBI and seven stolen bases over 172 at-bats this year.

Swanson went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's walkoff win over the Marlins.

Swanson's lone hit on the day was a big one, as he smoked a line drive into the left field corner to score the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. Despite a short stint on the disabled list, Swanson hasn't missed a beat at the dish, slashing .281/.326/.413 in 30 games. He figures to be a key piece in Atlanta's lineup moving forward barring another injury.

Rojas went 3-for-3 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored Sunday against the Braves.

Rojas came through with key hits throughout the game, going deep in both the seventh and ninth inning to give the Marlins a larger cushion, although it wasn't enough as the bullpen collapsed in the bottom of the ninth. He's putting up decent numbers through 46 games this season, slashing .264/.322/.429 with seven home runs and 20 RBI. Rojas will look to build off Sunday's excellent performance at the plate, as Miami is slated to take on the Mets in a three-game series starting Monday.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Dodgers.

Turner was the lone source of offense for the Nationals on Sunday, with his sixth home run of the season briefly giving the team a one run lead. It also continued his improved power production, as he has now hit three home runs in his past seven games. However, his stolen base production has declined drastically since the calendar flipped to May, as he is just 1-for-2 on the basepaths this month after swiping 12 bases in April.

Baez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Reds.

He went back-to-back with Kyle Schwarber off Tyler Mahle in the second inning. It snapped a 10-game homerless drought for Baez, who came into the game in a 5-for-35 funk. The 25-year-old still leads the National League in RBI and he's almost halfway to his home-run total from a year ago.

Camargo will serve as the Braves' everyday third baseman, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Jose Bautista was cut loose Sunday morning, and Camargo will replace him at the hot corner for the time being. Camargo spent time on the DL with an oblique injury earlier this season but has shown a strong handle on the strike zone in his limited playing time, drawing 13 walks against 14 strikeouts. He will need to continue playing well in order to keep Austin Riley at bay.

Crawford went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI, and three runs in Saturday's win over the Rockies.

The hot-hitting Crawford is now hitting over .300 on the season thanks to a torrid week in which he's gone 15-for-29 with five doubles and a home run. Power isn't a major part of Crawford's game, but he can hit for average and get on base at a strong clip. He's clearly in a groove and should continue to be deployed in weekly lineups.

Owings went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases Saturday against the Mets.

Owings' playing time could be in for a downturn depending on the health of Steven Souza (pectoral), but he took advantage of batting third in the lineup Saturday by swiping two bases. He has just three stolen bases for the season after Saturday's performance and has struggled at the plate through 119 at-bats, hitting .210/.271/.319. If Souza remains out long-term, Owings could continue to see playing time, but his performance to this point keeps him out of the discussion for shallower leagues.
