Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a 6-4 win against the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Turner launched a solo shot to left field in the sixth inning and drove in another run in the seventh with a single. The shortstop is slashing .365/.435/.595 with three homers, six doubles, 17 RBI and six stolen bases over his current 19-game hitting streak. He's tied for third in the National League with 37 RBI on the season and is tied for second with 10 thefts.

Correa went 1-for-5 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 10-7 win over the Royals.

Brad Keller hung a sinker over the heart of the plate in the top of the fourth inning and Correa capitalized, sending it over the fence in left center field for his third homer of the year. The shortstop has hit safely in five straight games, and in nine contests since returning from a finger injury he's batting .333 (12-for-36) with four doubles, a homer, five runs and five RBI.

Pena went 2-for-4 with a double Friday against the Mariners.

Pena hit a ground-rule double in the second inning to extend his hitting streak to seven games -- three of which have been multi-hit performances. He's hit very well for the majority of May, maintaining a .385 average to go along with three home runs, 12 RBI and eight runs scored in 19 games. For the campaign, he owns a .299/.351/.511 line across 151 plate appearances.

Witt went 3-for-5 with a triple, a home run, two runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 10-7 loss to the Twins.

It was an outstanding performance by the rookie, who just missed his first career cycle. His numbers continue to improve, and through 42 games the 21-year-old is now slashing .235/.273/.444 with six homers, 22 runs, 22 RBI and seven steals.

Mateo isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Story isn't starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Story has been on a tear recently, slashing .313/.395/.969 with seven homers, 21 RBI, 11 runs and two stolen bases over the last eight games. He'll get his first breather since April 25, though, and Christian Arroyo will man the keystone and hit sixth in Saturday's matinee.

Berti went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-4 loss to Atlanta.

Making his return from a lengthy stint on the COVID-19 list, Berti got the nod at second base and hit leadoff in place of Jazz Chisholm (hamstring). Chisholm is expected to be back in action this weekend, but Berti has made an impact in a utility role, slashing .295/.426/.523 over 54 plate appearances this season while tallying two homers, four RBI, 11 runs and three steals.

Lindor went 1-for-2 with two walks, three runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 8-6 win over the Phillies.

The shortstop has both hit safely and crossed the plate in five straight games. The performance extended a hot streak that has seen Lindor hit .364 (12-for-33) over his last nine contests. Over that span, he's tallied two of his eight homers and two of his six steals and also added 12 RBI and 13 runs.

Mateo went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run during Friday's 12-8 win against the Red Sox.

Mateo came to the plate with two on and one out during the seventh inning, and he delivered with a three-run home run to start the comeback and bring Baltimore within three runs. Despite hitting his third home run of the season, the 1-for-5 effort dropped the 26-year-old's average to .207, and he's also struck out 15 times in his past 10 games.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a hit by pitch during Friday's 12-8 loss to the Orioles.

The 29-year-old broke things open early with a 423-foot, three-run blast to left field during the opening frame, but Boston's bullpen was unable to maintain the lead. Bogaerts entered Friday's contest with a .212 average and only two RBI over his past nine games, but he delivered his fifth homer and first three-RBI effort of the season in the defeat.
