Story (forehead) went 3-for-4 with a double, a pair of walks, two runs and an RBI in Saturday's 14-8 win over the Padres.

After leaving Friday's game early when he took a ground ball off his forehead, Story checked back into the lineup a day later and appeared no worse for the wear. He was one of six Rockies to finish with multiple hits on the day, boosting his season-long line at Coors Field to an otherworldly .336/.405/.657.

Crawford went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Brewers.

Crawford's three hits were good for a new season high. Unfortunately for the shortstop's fantasy owners, Stephen Vogt (two RBI) and Kevin Pillar (two RBI) cleared the bases ahead of Crawford in the batting order, leaving no runs to be driven in despite him racking up five total bases.. Still, it was a strong day at the plate for the veteran, who hadn't recorded an extra-base hit since June 2. Crawford is still slashing a mediocre .212/.286/.324 on the year.

Lindor went 1-for-5 with two stolen bases in a 4-2 victory over the Tigers on Saturday.

The pair of steals moves the 25-year-old into the Top 12 in the category in the American League. Considering Lindor missed most of April, that's not bad. He is 9-for-10 in stolen-base attempts, and he's also batting .300 with 11 home runs, 25 RBI and 32 runs in 200 at-bats this season.

Turner went 3-for-5 with a triple in a 10-3 loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Turner tripled to left field leading off the bottom of the first inning and scored Washington's first run. He is now 13-for-29 in his last seven games to raise his batting average 43 points. His slash line for the season is .298/.348/.550, and he has five homers and 10 stolen bases in 131 at-bats.

Ahmed went 4-for-5 with a double and a triple in a 10-3 win over Washington on Saturday.

Ahmed tripled in the second inning and doubled in the third inning to key rallies for Arizona. The 29-year-old continues to hit well and has 27 extra-base hits this year, leading to a .277/.329/.434 slash line in 249 at-bats.

Gordon is out of the lineup for Saturday's game at Oakland due to a bruised right wrist, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gordon apparently suffered the injury over the last couple days when making headfirst slides. The injury doesn't appear to be overly severe, but the 31-year-old will take at least one day off to recover. Dylan Moore is starting at second base in his absence Saturday.

Story (forehead) is starting at shortstop and batting second Saturday versus the Padres.

Story had a bad hop Friday ricochet off his wrist and hit him in the forehead, which forced him to leave the field with the athletic trainer. The 26-year-old won't miss any additional time and will look to continue his strong start to the series after going 4-for-10 with a double and a home run through the first two games.

Gordon is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Oakland, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Gordon has gone 4-for-16 with one steal since returning from a wrist injury. Dylan Moore will take over at second base in his absence.

Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer off Charlie Morton in a 5-3 win over the Rays on Saturday.

Serving as the third baseman, Fletcher lined a pitch into the second row in left field to give the Angels a 3-0 lead in the second inning. It was the 25-year-old's first homer since May 23, and he is still just 7-for-30 over his last eight games. Fletcher nevertheless holds a solid .307/.360/.442 slash line for the year.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in a win over the Athletics on Friday.

The shortstop was making his return from a stint on the injured list due to an ankle sprain, and he made his presence felt almost immediately. It was encouraging to see Crawford bounce right back into form in his first game back, considering he'd hit a solid .279 since a May 10 promotion from Triple-A Tacoma before suffering his injury.
