Crawford went 3-for-6 with a run while starting both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

The previously struggling shortstop continued his ascension at the plate with Tuesday's solid day. Crawford had gotten his average up over the Mendoza Line for the first time this season with his first multi-hit effort of the season Sunday, and although all three hits Tuesday were singles and he remains in search of his first extra-base hit of the campaign, his average is now up to a respectable .256.

Rojas went 3-for-6 with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 14-8 win over Atlanta.

Rojas led off the game with a shallow single to left and then came back the next inning to belt an RBI double to deep right-center. The 32-year-old later led off the seventh with another hard-hit double and came around to score on Adam Duvall's second home run of the night. Tuesday was a great bounceback performance for Rojas after he went 0-for-5 in the series opener, as he's now slashing .270/.325/.351 with four RBI and five runs scored through nine games. He also owns a 3:3 K:BB -- which suggests he's putting plenty of balls into play -- and it should therefore only be a matter of time before that contact translates into more hits.

Anderson (hamstring) ran the bases at full speed Tuesday and is on target to return when eligible Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson has been trending toward a minimum stay on the 10-day injured list, and running full speed is another box checked. Danny Mendick has been filling in at shortstop.

Seager went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a home run and three total runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

Seager finally got on the board with his first long ball of the campaign -- the first of four Dodgers home runs Tuesday. He entered this game with just one extra-base hit in his last five games, but after this showing, Seager is up to a .366 average and 1.030 OPS.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with a walk, two strikeouts and a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Reds.

Crawford only has six hits this season -- he's batting .171 -- but half of them have left the yard. He also has a stolen base. As the everyday shortstop for the Giants, Crawford usually bats sixth against righties and eighth against lefties.

Edman went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a stolen base in a loss to the Nationals on Monday.

Edman's hitting streak now sits at eight games, and the RBI was his second of the season. The 25-year-old has hit leadoff in all 10 games thus far while putting in time at both second base and right field.

DeJong, who went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in a loss to the Nationals on Monday, operated out of the No. 6 spot in the order for the first time this season.

The struggling shortstop is now slashing .114/.262/.286 across 42 plate appearances, leading to his lowest slotting in the lineup yet this season. DeJong's leadoff single in the seventh Monday snapped a seven-game hitless drought, and while his abnormally low .105 BABIP certainly hasn't helped his cause, neither has the 27-year-old's 33.3 percent strikeout rate.

Correa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 loss to Detroit.

Correa's ninth-inning homer was a mild salve on a disappointing offensive performance for the Astros. The blast extended Correa's hitting streak to eight games, during which he's slashed .375/.412/.750 with six extra-base hits and six RBI.

Adames went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 1-0 win over the Rangers.

He took Taylor Hearn deep in the seventh inning to give Tyler Glasnow and the bullpen all the run support they would need. Adames also struck out twice, giving him a shaky 2:9 BB:K over his last seven games, but he's hit both his homers on the season during that stretch while supplying four RBI and three runs.

Baez went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's loss against the Brewers.

Baez has been one of the few bright spots in an anemic Cubs offense through the first 10 games of the season, and he has hit safely in four straight contests. The slick shortstop has homered twice with five RBI during that stretch.
