Rojas went 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's loss to the Giants.

Rojas is hitting a lowly .200 in June, but he seems to be turning it around of late. Over his last four games, the 29-year-old is 7-for-12 (.583) with four RBI and four runs scored. Though the Miami lineup won't provide many run-scoring or run-producing opportunities, Rojas is among the team's leaders with 28 RBI on the year to go along with a .244/.308/.356 slash line.

Wendle, who went 2-for-4 with a double in a win over the Astros on Tuesday, is hitting .333 (4-for-12) with two RBI over his last three starts.

The versatile infielder has been a steady performer at the plate throughout the season while also turning in solid work in the field. Wendle has drawn the majority of his starts at second base, and he'll continue to see intermittent playing time there despite the expected Friday return of Daniel Robertson (hamstring).

Story went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Mets.

Story was the middle part of a back-to-back-to-back sequence in the third inning that helped turn a tie game into a four-run Colorado lead in the eventual 10-8 win. The 25-year-old has been red-hot all June, slashing .357/.395/.686 on the month. With 16 homers, he's on pace to top his personal-best 27 that he mashed in his rookie campaign in 2016.

Herrera went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers.

Herrera has now seen time in all three games since being acquired by the Royals, starting in two of them and going 3-for-9 with a couple of RBI. If he continues to hit, the 25-year-old figures to continue seeing somewhat regular playing time in the rebuilding Royals' outfield, especially with Jorge Soler (toe) recently landing on the disabled list.

Turner went 4-for-4 with a double, a homer and two runs scored Tuesday against the Orioles.

Turner's monster night Tuesday was a much-needed sign of life, as the speedy shortstop was hitting just .200 over his first 14 games in June. The strong effort raised his batting average by 11 points to a .267 mark to go along with his eight homers, 26 RBI and 20 stolen bases on the year.

Crawford was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a fractured left hand, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic Philadelphia reports. He's expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks.

Crawford suffered the injury when he was hit on the left hand by a Luke Weaver pitch in the fourth inning. Maikel Franco will likely handle everyday third base duties with Crawford expected to be sidelined for at least the next month. The young infielder was hitting just .194 prior to his exit Tuesday.

Camargo went 4-for-5 with a double, a homer, five RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

Camargo blew the game open with a grand slam in the second inning off of Blue Jays starter Jaime Garcia. He then tacked on two singles and a double to record the first four-hit game of his career. Camargo is hitting .400 (10-for-25) over his last seven starts and has raised his season average from .209 to .240 over that stretch.

Crawford exited Tuesday's game against the Cardinals early after being hit by a pitch on his left hand, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Crawford was plunked on the left hand by a Luke Weaver pitch in the fourth inning. He stayed in on the basepaths during the bottom of the fourth but was removed from the contest before the Phillies took the field in the next half-inning. Maikel Franco took over at third. We'll wait for an official diagnosis on Crawford's injury.

Manager Ned Yost said Mondesi will start at shortstop a few times per week, Rustin Dodd of The Athletic Kansas City reports.

Mondesi was originally expected to see most of his playing time at second base, but Yost talked to Alcides Escobar -- who has made 405 consecutive starts at shortstop -- and the veteran shortstop assured the manager that he was on board with ceding a few starts to the youngster moving forward. The 22-year-old Mondesi, who is viewed as the Royals' shortstop of the future, is 1-for-7 in two appearances this season.

Baez (elbow) is in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

Baez was able to come off the bench in the first game of the day and will return to the starting lineup in the second. He'll end up missing just one start after getting hit in the elbow by a pitch Sunday.
