Story (thumb) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets, MLB.com's Thomas Harding reports.

Story left Saturday's matchup early, but the Rockies got some good news later when X-rays came back negative and the injury was described as a jammed thumb. Although it's not likely to be a long-term concern, Story will get the day off Sunday in favor of Cristhian Adames at shortstop. WIth a team day off on the schedule Monday, Story's next chance to return to action will be Tuesday's series opener against the Dodgers.

Gordon went 1-for-4 with a double, walk, stolen base and three runs in Saturday's 11-0 victory over the Cardinals.

The leadoff man was quite the table-setter Saturday, and appears to be hitting his stride after his recent return from an 80-game PED suspension. Gordon is 3-for-8 with four runs and Saturday's double, walk and stolen base over the last two contests.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Giants.

The 23-year-old remains red-hot, with Saturday's effort marking his fourth multi-hit outing in the last five starts. Turner also has four stolen bases over that span, and continues to be a multi-category threat in all fantasy formats thanks to his blazing speed.

Story's injury is being called a jammed left thumb, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

X-rays on the Rockies shortstop came back negative, which is obviously good news. Story is considered day-to-day while we wait for more information.

Story left Saturday's game with an apparent left thumb injury, Jenny Cavnar of Root Sports reports.

Further details regarding Story's status were not immediately available, but expect his status to be updated when more news is released.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

It seems manager Mike Matheny has decided Diaz could use a little mental rest following his first career three-strikeout game Friday. Diaz should be back in there Sunday, looking to finish off his .299/.375/.505 month of July on a high note. Greg Garcia will start at shortstop in his absence.

Crawford is out of the lineup Saturday against the Nationals due to a bruised left hand, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.

Apparently, Crawford jammed his hand in his first at-bat Friday and needs at least one day to rest up. Eduardo Nunez will take over at shortstop and lead off with Denard Span (quad) also on the bench. Crawford is batting .196/.255/.314 without a home run since the All-Star break.

Baez is starting at second base and batting fourth Saturday against Seattle.

Baez is getting the rare designation in the four-hole Saturday with Anthony Rizzo out of the lineup on a maintenance day. Baez is currently riding a seven-game hit streak and is slashing .292/.349/.563 with 21 RBI in the month of July.

Turner is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, MASN's Dan Kolko reports.

This is a little surprising, as Turner has provided a spark atop the Nationals' order recently with eight hits and three steals in his last four games, but it seems manager Dusty Baker is intent on keeping Ben Revere involved. Turner still seems like the favorite for playing time in center field moving forward.

Turner once again hit leadoff and played center field during Thursday's win over the Giants, going 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base.

He's now started three straight games in center and over Turner's last four games he's reached base 10 times (eight hits and two walks) while stealing three bases, scoring four runs and pushing his slash line up to .333/.382/.510, albeit in just 51 at-bats. As long as the converted shortstop doesn't make any glaring defensive miscues in the outfield, Nats manager Dusty Baker will likely keep writing the rookie's name on his lineup card.
