Baez went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers.

Baez's offensive explosion started with a solo home run in the fifth inning before he hit a grand slam in the sixth to effectively put the game out of reach. It's been a career-best season thus far for the 25-year-old, as he's sporting a solid .276/.315/.555 slash line to go along with 16 homers and 56 RBI.

Crawford went 3-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

Crawford's third steal of the season put him in scoring position with one out in the eighth inning, and he'd eventually come around to score the game-winning run following three walks from reliever Adam Ottavino. The 31-year-old has tallied a pair of three-hit games in his last three outings as he continues his career-best season. All three marks of his .316/.374/.496 line are currently personal bests.

Arcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

Arcia has only started every other game since last Tuesday, and that pattern will hold true for now, as he will come off the bench after being part of the lineup in the Brewers' last game Sunday. Brad Miller will man the shortstop position for the Brewers on Tuesday.

Owings went 1-for-3 with a double, two runs and an RBI in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Marlins.

Owings drew his third consecutive start in the outfield with one of David Peralta, Jarrod Dyson and Jon Jay each getting a breather during that span. The latter three players still appear to be locked into at least strong-side platoon roles in the outfield, so it's difficult to envision Owings settling into a full-time gig. It doesn't help Owings' cause that he has largely failed to turn around his poor season thus far in June, with the 26-year-old managing a lowly .184/.293/.265 batting line for the month.

Baez is starting at shortstop and batting fifth in Monday's game against the Dodgers.

With Addison Russell getting the night off, Baez slides over from second base and Ben Zobrist takes over at the keystone. Baez is batting a robust .269/.311/.530 this season with 14 home runs and 50 RBI.

DeJong (hand) will see a doctor Thursday in order to be cleared to face live pitching, David Solomon of 590 The Fan reports.

DeJong will undergo what he hopes will be his final X-ray and bone scan on his fractured hand. He has been able to hit in batting practice and could be cleared for a minor-league rehab assignment after Thursday's visit.

Rojas (hand) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, according to Joe Frisaro of MLB.com.

Rojas was held out of the lineup the last two days due to his sore hand, but he felt good enough to play the field for the final frame of Sunday's contest, and is ready to return to action Monday. Rojas will man the hot corner and hit sixth against Arizona starter Shelby Miller.

Ahmed is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Ahmed totaled just two hits over his last five games, so manager Torey Lovullo decided to go in a different direction Monday. Ketel Marte will slide over and cover shortstop in Ahmed's place.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a triple, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Washington's 8-6 victory over the Phillies on Sunday.

Turner had gone eight games without swiping a bag coming into this game, but he got back on the board in that department with his 21st steal of the season in Sunday's contest. The steals highlight Turner's biggest fantasy appeal, with his eight home runs and .405 slugging percentage both representing unspectacular numbers. He's getting on base at a solid clip, with his .348 on-base percentage through 304 at-bats falling exactly in line with his career number. As long as he continues to do that, he'll continue to offer reliable production on the basepaths.

Rojas (hand) will have a CT scan Monday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

He was scratched from Saturday's lineup with a bruised left hand and wasn't in Sunday's lineup, but Rojas appeared in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement. The fact he was healthy enough to enter the game but still has tests on tap is a bit curious, but we should get a better idea how serious the injury is on Monday.
