Willy Adames SS | SF
Rays' Willy Adames: On base thrice in loss
Adames went 1-for-2 with two walks in a loss to the Nationals on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old shortstop pushed his season on-base percentage to an impressive .376 with Tuesday's busy night. In the process, Adames snapped a brief 0-for-12 skid that had encompassed his last three games. Largely on the strength of a 5-for-7 tally over his first two games of the month, he's still hitting a solid .286 through his first six September contests.

Jon Berti 3B | CHC
Marlins' Jon Berti: Remains out Wednesday
Berti (finger) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against Atlanta.
Berti will remain out of the lineup for a second consecutive game after bruising his finger Monday. It's unclear when he'll return to the field, but he isn't expected to spend time on the injured list. Jazz Chisholm will start at second base Wednesday.

Jose Barrero SS | BAL
Reds' Jose Garcia: Sitting out again
Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Garcia will hit the bench for the second time in three games, this time giving way to Freddy Galvis at shortstop after Kyle Farmer received the nod in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Pirates. Though the Reds don't appear ready to pull the plug on Garcia as their everyday shortstop just yet, the 22-year-old has gotten off to an underwhelming 5-for-34 (.147 average) start to his big-league career.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Rockies' Trevor Story: Steals in three straight games
Story went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 14-5 loss to the Padres.
Story hit a double in the first inning and stole third base before coming home on a Nolan Arenado homer. In the fifth, Story's fielder's choice plated Tony Wolters. The stolen base was Story's fourth in his last three games and 13th of the season. He's slashing .293/.370/.543 with nine homers, 21 RBI and 33 runs scored through 41 contests.

J.P. Crawford SS | SEA
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Plates three runs against Giants
Crawford went 1-for-4 with a double, three RBI, a run scored and a walk in Tuesday's loss against the Giants.
Crawford might have produced just one knock at the top of the order, but it was a significant one -- he cleared the bases with a three-RBI double in the top of the second. Crawford has gone seven straight games without a multi-hit effort, though, and he is hitting just .154 with a .659 OPS in that span. Perhaps Tuesday's three-RBI effort could boost his confidence moving forward, as the shortstop has struggled offensively during most of the campaign.

Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Optioned to alternate site
Camargo was optioned to Atlanta's alternate training site Wednesday.
Adeiny Hechavarria had already started to cut into Camargo's playing time, so with Ozzie Albies (wrist) getting activated, this was a natural corresponding move. He has a .200/.244/.367 slash line on the season.

Francisco Lindor SS | NYM
Indians' Francisco Lindor: Launches seventh homer
Lindor went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk during Tuesday's loss to the Royals.
The 26-year-old's two-run shot during the third inning gave Cleveland a 5-3 lead, though the bullpen was ultimately unable to hold off Kansas City. Lindor has a .287/.353/.473 slash line with seven homers, 10 doubles, 19 RBI and three stolen bases in 42 games.
-
Trea Turner SS | PHI
Nationals' Trea Turner: Swipes sixth bag
Turner went 1-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI, a stolen base and a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rays.
Even with only one hit Tuesday, the 27-year-old was able to contribute in a number of categories. Turner seems to be putting it all together with a .359/.413/.623 slash line, nine homers, 11 doubles, 35 runs, 25 RBI and six stolen bases in 41 games.

Tommy Edman 2B | LAD
Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Swats third homer
Edman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during a 7-3 loss to the Twins in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.
He also found ways to be productive in the nightcap, going 0-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored. Edman's sixth-inning shot off Jose Berrios was his third homer of the year, but two of them have come in the last three days as he tries to re-discover last season's form in time for the Cards' stretch run.

Jon Berti 3B | CHC
Marlins' Jon Berti: Not starting Tuesday
Berti (finger) is not starting Tuesday against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Berti bruised his finger during Monday's contest, and the issue is still bothering him Tuesday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports. He could still miss a few more days with the injury but is not expected to head to the injured list. Jazz Chisholm will start at second base.
