Bichette went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.

He scored the Jays' first run of the game in the first inning, then drove in their last in the fifth. Bichette has been on a tear in June, slashing .327/.367/.476 through 20 games with three homers, five steals, 16 RBI and 18 runs.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.

After going 2-for-16 over his prior five games, Lindor showed another flicker of his Cleveland form. The shortstop has yet to put together a sustained hot streak for the Mets but June has been his best month so far, as he's slashing .256/.337/.500 through 23 games with five of his nine homers on the season.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

Anderson celebrated his 28th birthday by doubling home a run in the second inning and later scoring on Yasmani Grandal's two-run double in the fifth. The two-hit day helped salvage a road trip during which Anderson hit just .160 (4-for-25).

Story went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI Wednesday against the Mariners.

Story went yard in both the fourth and eighth innings to record his first multi-homer game of the season. The effort brought his total on the campaign to eight, three of which have come in his last three games. To this point, Story has delivered an underwhelming .259/.332/.444 line across 262 plate appearances, though he's also chipped in a very valuable 13 stolen bases.

Ahmed is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Josh Rojas will fill in at shortstop for Ahmed, who appears to be receiving a routine breather for the day game after a night game. Ahmed had started in each of the Diamondbacks' previous six games, going 3-for-19 with a pair of runs.

Williams is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

On the bench versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Erick Fedde) for the second day in a row, Williams looks like he won't be in line for an everyday role at the keystone while Jean Segura (groin) is on the shelf. Instead, the lefty-hitting Brad Miller looks poised to draw most of the starts at the position versus right-handed pitching, leaving the righty-hitting Williams to fill a short-side platoon role.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a stolen base and scored two runs in Tuesday's 9-5 extra-innings win over the Rays.

The Red Sox scored runs in two innings -- a five-run third and four-run 11th -- and Bogaerts took part in both rallies, including his fifth steal of the season. He emerged from a slumber earlier this month and is slashing .365/.417/.603 over the last 17 games.

Bichette went 0-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.

The shortstop helped manufacture the Jays' first run of the game in the sixth inning. After being hit by a pitch, he swiped second, advanced to third on a wild pitch and then trotted home on a Vladimir Guerrero single. Bichette's .276 batting average remains a little below expectations but he leads the majors with 60 runs scored, and his 14 homers, 11 steals and 47 RBI through 71 games aren't too shabby either.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Mets.

His third-inning blast off Yennsy Diaz came after Marcus Stroman (hip) made an early exit for the Mets, and it ended up providing the only offense in the game. Swanson continues to struggle with consistent contact as he's batting .227 (17-for-75) in June, but he's still produced a solid 12 homers, 31 runs and 33 RBI through 72 games on the season.

Crawford went 3-for-3 with a double and a walk in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Angels.

While Crawford didn't knock in any runs or score in Tuesday's win, he still put in a good effort at the dish. The shortstop is now 6-for-15 (.400) across his last four games, putting his slump from last week to rest. He's posted a .260/.347/.548 slash line with 16 home runs, 48 RBI, 39 runs scored and five stolen bases through 239 plate appearances overall as a near-everyday option.
