Rojas went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Sunday in the win over the Nationals.

Rojas added an insurance run in the fifth inning on a double to left field, extending the lead to five. He's been enjoying success throughout the month of July, as he's hitting .314 with eight RBI and three stolen bases over 23 games.

Camargo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Dodgers.

It's his fourth homer in July and 11th of the season. Camargo has been heating up since the All-Star break, hitting. 333 over seven games to boost his slash line on the year to .257/.349/.440.

Arcia went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run against the Giants on Saturday.

Arcia found himself in the starting lineup for the third consecutive game since he was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs and is now 3-for-12 over that span. He was also caught stealing Saturday, dropping him to 3-for-6 in stolen-base attempts this year. The Brewers got deeper around the infield with their acquisition of Mike Moustakas, and with Jonathan Villar (thumb) beginning a rehab assignment, it remains to be seen how long Arcia will continue to get regular playing time.

Turner went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases Saturday against the Marlins.

Turner reached base on a bunt single in the first inning and then stole second and third base. His activity on the basepaths is a welcomed sight as these were his first stolen bases since June 29, and they break a stretch of five consecutive unsuccessful attempts. He now ranks second in the National League with 24 stolen bases.

Baez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Cardinals.

Baez provided all the offense for the Cubs with his fourth-inning blast, as St. Louis starter Miles Mikolas and a trio of relievers shut down the Chicago lineup for most of the afternoon. Baez now has home runs in consecutive games and 21 for the season, and he remains one of the most dynamic offensive players in all of baseball.

Baez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the Cubs' 5-4 defeat to the Cardinals on Friday.

Baez got his 20th homer of the season with this sixth-inning blast off Luke Weaver as he continues his sterling 2018 campaign at the plate. He's been contributing across all categories, with 63 runs and 75 RBI to go along with what is currently a career-best .296/.327/.557 slash line. He's also chipped in 19 steals for good measure, leaving him just one shy of his first 20-20 season.

DeJong went 3-for-3 with a triple, a walk, three RBI and a run scored in the Cardinals' 5-2 victory over the Cubs on Friday.

DeJong had seen his average dip to .248 headed into this contest, but he was able to break out of his recent quiet spell by reaching base in all four of his at-bats against the Cubs, pumping his slash line up to .258/.335/.447 through 217 at-bats. That's still off the pace of last year's campaign when he logged an .857 OPS, but DeJong is capable of putting together lengthy hot streaks when he gets in a groove, so hopefully this three-hit effort is a sign he's gearing up for one.

Baez (upper leg) is starting at shortstop and hitting cleanup Friday against the Cardinals.

While Baez was out of the lineup Wednesday and Thursday, he appeared in each of those games off the bench, so the injury was never considered serious. Baez is one of just six players in MLB with 15-plus home runs and 15-plus steals, and is one home run and one steal away from tallying his first 20-20 campaign.

Turner went 3-for-6 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Marlins.

Turner made waves for the wrong reasons earlier in the week after being benched for not running out a bunt attempt. However, he was dialed in Thursday, launching his 13th home run of the season and recording his first multi-hit game since July 6. Despite the strong performance, it is still concerning that Turner has not successfully stolen a base since June 29 while he's been caught on each of his last five attempts.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a home run, double and four RBI in the Diamondbacks' 7-6 loss to the Cubs on Thursday.

Ahmed connected on the first grand slam of his career in the fifth inning, bringing him up to 13 home runs and 48 RBI on the campaign. A .234 average depresses Ahmed's fantasy value, but the increased power production he has displayed in 2018 has made him a useful asset in deeper leagues.
