Story went 1-for-4 with a walkoff solo home run to send the Rockies to a 4-3 victory over the Mariners on Sunday.

Story continued his recent home-run barrage in dramatic fashion with this game-ending blast off Nick Vincent. That gives him four long balls in his last seven games and 20 on the season in what has been a phenomenal first half for the 25-year-old All-Star, who is now slashing a robust .292/.353/.557 through 366 at-bats.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Rojas drove in a pair during the fifth inning on a single to center field, giving Miami a 6-5 lead. The 29-year-old is off to a solid start in the month of July as he's hitting .304 with four RBI and three stolen bases through 14 games. Rojas will enter the break sporting a .254/.309/.348 slash line and a .657 OPS over 95 games in the first half.

Turner went 1-for-5 with two RBI during Sunday's 6-1 victory over the Mets.

Turner extended the lead to five in the seventh inning after plating a pair on a single to left. The 25-year-old shortstop went 3-for-15 during Philadelphia's four-game series against the Mets, and he'll enter the All-Star break batting .267 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI over 96 games.

D'Arnaud will serve as the Giants' leadoff hitter and start at third base Sunday against the Giants.

D'Arnaud seems to have worked his way into a platoon at third base with Pablo Sandoval, as the former will enter the lineup for the third consecutive game in which the Giants have opposed a left-handed starting pitcher. Since being promoted from Triple-A Sacramento, d'Arnaud has gone 5-for-17 with a home run, but the 31-year-old's career .226/.281/.314 line over 200 games in the majors suggests he doesn't warrant much intrigue in the fantasy realm.

Ahmed is out of the lineup Sunday against the Braves.

The Diamondbacks have been juggling three players (Ahmed, Ketel Marte and Daniel Descalso) between the two middle-infield spots of late, and it will be Ahmed's turn to head to the bench Sunday following three consecutive starts. Ahmed has been the top producer of the triumvirate in July, going 13-for-46 (.283 average) with seven extra-base hits, eight runs and five RBI across 11 appearances.

Rojas will start at third base and bat seventh Sunday against the Phillies, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas' playing time trailed off earlier this month shortly after everyday third baseman Martin Prado's return from the disabled list, but the former has seen his starting opportunities tick back up heading into the break. With Prado getting a breather in the series finale, Rojas will enter the starting nine for the fourth time in five games. The 29-year-old's ability to play all four infield spots may continue to earn him a healthy workload, even though he lacks a direct path to a full-time role at any position.

Baez went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and five RBI Saturday against the Padres.

Baez extended his hitting streak to a modest four games and has recorded at least one extra-base hit in each of them. Saturday marked his second five-RBI performance of the season, and he has driven in four runs on three other occasions. Given that, it's not especially surprising that he is tied for the National League lead in RBI, though that's hardly the only way he's stood out through 338 at-bats this season, as he also ranks among the league leaders in home runs, runs scored and slugging percentage.

Camargo is out of Saturday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.

Camargo will get a well-deserved day off after starting 10 straight games. He'll be replaced by Ryan Flaherty at third base.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 2-1 win over the Braves.

Ahmed's seventh-inning RBI single broke a 1-1 tie and held up as the deciding run in the series opener. The shortstop also added to his career-best doubles total (20) earlier in the contest, giving him his fourth two-hit performance in seven games.

Baez went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs and a steal to help the Cubs to a 5-4 victory over San Diego on Friday.

A day after launching his 18th homer of the season, Baez continued his excellent first half with two more hits and a stolen base in this win over the Padres. It's been an all-around dynamic showing for the infielder so far in 2018, as this steal was Baez's 18th, which is already six more of his previous career high. As it stands, he's a legitimate threat to post a 30-30 season.
