Trea Turner SS | PHI
Nationals' Trea Turner: Three more hits Wednesday
Turner went 3-for-6 with a triple, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's rout of Atlanta.
That's now six hits and two steals in the last two games for Turner, who always seems to do well in Atlanta -- his career slash line between SunTrust Park and old Turner Field stands at .328/.376/.574 in 28 games with seven homers, 14 stolen bases 16 RBI and 27 runs. The shortstop is now slashing .288/.333/.466 on the year through 17 games, and Turner's a perfect 8-for-8 on steal attempts.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Rays' Willy Adames: Comes through in extras
Adames went 1-for-5 with a game-winning RBI single and a walk in an extra-innings victory over the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
Adames' single to deep center with the bases loaded in the 11th won the game for the Rays and produced his first RBI over the last six games. Adames' .237 season average still has plenty of room for improvement, but he's been markedly better with the bat this month while raising that figure a total of 37 points since the calendar flipped to May.

Tim Anderson 2B | LAA
White Sox's Tim Anderson: Plunked in return
Anderson went 1-for-3 with a double and was hit by a pitch in Wednesday's 8-7 win over the Royals.
Anderson, who returned to the lineup after missing four games with a wrist injury, was hit with a changeup off the helmet on the second pitch he saw, prompting the ejection of Kansas City pitcher Glenn Sparkman. The ejection appears to be related to the recent history between the White Sox and Royals, who emptied their benches April 17 after a series of incidents involving Anderson. The shortstop later knocked in the game-winning run with an eighth-inning double.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Dodgers' Corey Seager: Homers, reaches four times
Seager went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, a walk and another run scored in Wednesday's 9-8 victory over the Mets.
Seager's first hit of the night was just shy of going the distance in the second inning off Noah Syndergaard. He soon made up for it with another double in the fifth, followed by a leadoff homer in the eighth off Jeurys Familia. The 26-year-old is currently on a six-game hitting streak and is batting .249/.341/.415 with six home runs, 35 runs scored and 27 RBI.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Rockies' Trevor Story: Three-hit day against Diamondbacks
Story went 3-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in a 5-4 win for the Rockies over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
The shortstop had followed up a seven-game hitting streak with a brief 0-for-8 skid, but he got back on track with this three-hit game that saw him slap his 10th two-bagger of the season. Story is putting together another strong campaign at the plate thus far, as he's slashing .275/.346/.509 through 218 at-bats. He's also continuing to provide excellent value on the basepaths after stealing 27 bags last year, as Wednesday's swipe gives him 10 in 13 attempts.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Stays productive
Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and two runs scored Wednesday against the Indians.
Bogaerts took A.J. Cole deep in the eighth inning for his 10th home run of the season. He's been very productive at the plate of late, with this effort marking his sixth multi-hit game in his past 10 starts. In that same span, he's driven in 11 runs while also scoring 10 runs. He's gotten on base consistently this season, hitting .293/.381/.514 across 239 plate appearances.

Dee Strange-Gordon SS | WAS
Mariners' Dee Gordon: Resuming baseball activities
Gordon (wrist) will resume baseball activities Thursday but is expected to be sidelined beyond the minimum 10 days, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
Gordon would be eligible for activation Friday, but given that he's just resuming baseball-related work a day prior, he'll be sidelined for some time beyond that. Gordon's injury has been characterized as a deep bone bruise, which typically carries a multi-week recovery timeline.

Aledmys Diaz 1B | HOU
Astros' Aledmys Diaz: Seen running Wednesday
Diaz (hamstring) ran on the field prior to Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
This is certainly a step in the right direction for Diaz, who has been sidelined since Monday with a strained hamstring. He'll be eligible to return from the injured list June 6, though it remains to be seen if he'll be back to full health by then.

Tim Anderson 2B | LAA
White Sox's Tim Anderson: Back in action
Anderson (wrist) is back in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
Anderson missed four straight starts after getting hit in the wrist by a pitch Friday, though he did appear once as a pinch runner. He hit .375/.412/.521 in the 13 games prior to suffering the injury.

Brandon Crawford SS | STL
Giants' Brandon Crawford: Two hits in loss
Crawford went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's blowout loss to Miami.
Crawford provided one of just two bright spots for the Giants in the box score, putting together a multi-hit performance on a night where the team could only muster two hits against starter Trevor Richards. The performance brought the veteran shortstop's batting average back over the Mendoza Line (.207). With just three homers through 51 games, it appears Crawford has reverted to the all-glove, no-bat shortstop he was early in his career.
