Turner went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Rays.

Turner reached on a pair of singles in the first and sixth innings and came around to score each time. His 17 stolen bases are the third most in the majors, trailing only Ender Inciarte and Dee Gordon. Turner is now hitting .258/.342/.398 with seven homers, 24 RBI and 35 runs across 61 games this season.

Crawford (forearm) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Wednesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Look for Crawford to join the starting lineup within the next couple days as the Phillies continue a three-game set against the Cubs on Wednesday night. During his rehab assignment, Crawford played in five games with High-A Clearwater before joining Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday. Moving forward, it's unclear if Crawford will return to an everyday role at shortstop, especially since he had not been doing much -- hitting just .188/.246/.328 in 21 games -- prior to his injury. In a corresponding move, Mitch Walding was optioned to Lehigh Valley.

Arcia is not in the lineup versus the Indians on Wednesday.

Eric Sogard will draw a start at shortstop for the series finale while Arcia gets a day off following four straight games in the starting nine. Since being recalled from Triple-A last week, Arcia has gone 4-for-14 with one RBI.

Crawford went 1-for-2 with an RBI double and two walks in Tuesday's loss to the visiting Diamondbacks.

Crawford slashed a double -- his 14th of the year -- off Patrick Corbin in the fifth, bringing around Mac Williamson to give Crawford his 26th RBI. The shortstop continues to light it up at the plate, hitting .500 with four extra-base hits through the first five games of June. Crawford's slash line is now .322/.371/.500 with 22 extra-base hits. The 31-year-old's .871 OPS ranks fourth among all MLB shortstops.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two runs and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

Swanson registered an RBI single in the fourth and then swatted a two-run homer -- his sixth of the year -- in the next inning. Swanson is hitting .274/.335/.457 with 19 extra-base hits, 25 RBI and 22 runs scored, putting him around the middle of the pack with respect to MLB shortstops.

Castro was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Castro was hitting just .174/.191/.261 across 18 games with the Rockies and had no clear path to playing time with DJ LeMahieu back from the DL. He'll continue to serve as organizational infield depth with the Isotopes, where he hit an impressive .407/.429/.516 across 23 games earlier in the season. Mike Tauchman was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding roster move.

Crawford will move his rehab assignment to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic Philadelphia reports.

Crawford will ramp up his rehab stint after going 4-for-20 with a homer and a walk through five games with High-A Clearwater. It's unclear how many games Crawford will need to play with the IronPigs before being activated from the DL, but things are trending in the right direction for the shortstop, who has been sidelined since the end of April with a forearm strain.

Crawford went 2-for-2 with a walk, a double and his seventh home run of the season in Monday's 10-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Crawford was part of a three-pitch sequence in the fourth inning that saw both he and Andrew McCutchen go deep off Arizona starter Zack Godley. After a disappointing start to the year (.189/.237/.300 in his first 27 games), the veteran shortstop has slashed an incredible .422/.461/.647 with five homers and 22 RBI since the calendar turned to May.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a pair of runs and a stolen base in the Diamondbacks' 6-1 win over the Marlins on Sunday.

Ahmed has delivered three two-hit performances over his last eight games, but he has mostly been invisible in the other five contests, going 1-for-17. The shortstop's conscious effort to adjust his swing and sell out for power has already aided him to a career-high eight home runs, but the change has been detrimental to his batting average. He's hitting just .210 for the season, with a spike in his flyball rate contributing to a .231 BABIP that's 25 points below his career mark.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run, one walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 4-2 victory over the Nationals.

Swanson came through with a timely home run in the seventh to tie the game at two, and he would later double in the ninth before Charlie Culberson drove him in on a long ball. The 24-year-old shortstop is hitting .263 with five home runs and 22 RBI through 44 games this season.
