Nationals' Trea Turner: Keeps running Wednesday
Turner went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Cardinals.
The shortstop has turned on the afterburners, swiping four bags in the last six games, while also racking up four multi-hit performances in his last eight contests. Turner's hot streak has boosted his slash line on the season to .302/.343/.540 with four homers, five steals, seven runs and eight RBI.

Brandon Crawford SS | STL
Giants' Brandon Crawford: Exits with side tightness
Crawford left Wednesday's game against the Phillies due to tightness in his right side, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Donovan Solano suffered a calf injury in the same game and manager Gabe Kapler said he was likely headed to the injured list, but the skipper made no such comment regarding Crawford, so it sounds like he is day-to-day for now. If Crawford does miss time, Mauricio Dubon would be the likely starter at shortstop.

Nationals' Trea Turner: Steals base in win

Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Smacks fifth homer
Bichette went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Blasts three-run homer
Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a double Tuesday against the Blue Jays.
Bogaerts had six extra-base hits entering Tuesday's game, but he hadn't yet hit a ball out of the yard. That changed in his second at-bat of the contest, when he drilled a three-run shot to center field. Bogaerts also recorded his seventh double of the season and is hitting .393/.439/.557 to go along with seven RBI and seven runs scored across 66 plate appearances to begin the campaign.

Jeremy Pena SS | HOU
Astros' Jeremy Pena: Out after wrist surgery
Pena needs surgery on his left wrist and is expected to be sidelined for a few months, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Pena is easily Houston's top position player prospect who is anywhere close to the majors. He should spend the bulk of the year at Double-A once he recovers from the procedure.

Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA
Braves' Ehire Adrianza: Starts for Acuna
Adrianza will start in right field and bat leadoff Tuesday against the Yankees.
Adrianza will fill in for one of Atlanta's everyday players for the fourth game in a row. After logging a start for a resting Austin Riley on Friday, Adrianza closed the weekend with consecutive starts at second base in place of a banged-up Ozzie Albies (calf). Though Albies is back in action for Tuesday's series opener, Ronald Acuna is sitting out with an abdominal injury, allowing Adrianza will pick up his first turn in the outfield. Acuna is considered day-to-day, so Adrianza's run of regular playing time could soon be coming to an end.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Rays' Willy Adames: Productive in Monday's win
Adames went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 4-1 win over the Royals.
The bottom of the order did most of the damage for the Rays in this one, as the trio of Joey Wendle, Adames and Kevin Kiermaier combined for five hits, four runs and two RBI. The steal was Adames' first of the year, but perhaps more importantly, he didn't strike out -- the first time he's avoided fanning in a start since April 3. On the season, the shortstop has a shaky .204/.232/.370 slash line with two homers, four RBI and six runs through 17 games.
