Ahmed went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Tigers.

The homer was his second of the season. The 27-year-old isn't having the same impressive start to the season offensively that Chris Owings is, but Ahmed's .704 OPS would still be a career high if he can keep it up.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

After a strong start to the season, Seager has cooled off in May, batting just .188 with no RBI through eight contests. Even with his recent slump, the 23-year-old owns a solid .286/.381/.471 slash line on the season. The Dodgers are about to begin a four-game series against the Rockies at Coors Field, which is usually the ideal remedy for any hitter to snap out of a funk.

Correa went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Atlanta.

Correa, whose three-run homer was the winning hit Tuesday, provided the deciding knock for the second straight game with a two-run double in the fifth inning. He's been on an extra-base-hit roll of late -- Wednesday's two-baggers give him 10 for the season, all coming in the last 14 games, and he's slugging .585 during that stretch.

Bichette, 19, is hitting .365/.450/.594 with three home runs and three steals (on four attempts) in 111 plate appearances with Low-A Lansing.

Bichette has yet to post a BABIP below .440 in 46 games as a pro, so it's difficult to get a read on what kind of batting average we can expect from him as he moves up the ladder. That said, it's pretty difficult to find a flaw in his game at the moment, as his 12.6 percent walk rate and 18.9 percent strikeout rate are both elite for a player with his offensive tools.

Story is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

Story played in both games of Tuesday's doubleheader, going a combined 2-for-7 with a run scored, an RBI, one walk and two strikeouts. The 24-year-old's strikeout total is now up to 48 in 128 plate appearances this season and his infield flyball rate is up at 20 percent, but at least Story's walking at a good clip and he continues to make hard contact when he does put bat to ball.

Crawford (groin) is expected to be activated and return to the lineup Thursday against the Reds, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The star shortstop has been out for over two weeks with the ailment, but appears ready to make a return to action as the Giants open up a four-game homestand. Crawford is hitting .263/.284/.434 with a .718 OPS this season, a solid start he will look to build on once he's reinserted into the lineup.

Baez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Rockies in the second game of their doubleheader.

Baez hit his fifth home run of the season off Colorado reliever Mike Dunn, who entered the game with a 1.08 ERA and no home runs allowed this year. Playing time is still a bit of an issue with Baez, but he's a dynamic offensive player whenever he's in the lineup.

D'Arnaud pinch-hit for Drew Pomeranz and beat out an infield single in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 11-7 loss to Milwaukee. It was the d'Arnaud's first at-bat since joining the Red Sox on April 28.

Until that point in the night, the Red Sox did very little against Wily Peralta despite the right-hander's inability to throw strikes. D'Arnaud then scored on a double by Mookie Betts, running through the stop sign put up by third base coach Brian Butterfield. The sequence served as a wake-up call for the offense but Boston's comeback was spoiled twice by its bullpen. With third base being the Red Sox's weakest of the field positions, there's an opportunity for d'Arnaud to establish a more regular presence in the lineup, particularly if he creates offense like he did Tuesday. At the very least, he'll be part of the pinch-hitting crew while Boston plays two more games in Milwaukee.

Cordoba started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers.

The 21-year-old was expected to be part of a rotation in left field to replace Travis Jankowski (foot), but Cory Spangenberg has taken control of the position. With the recent trade for the right-handed Matt Szczur, it appears that Cordoba will see the majority of his playing time as a pinch-hitter while spelling Erick Aybar at short.

Correa went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in the first inning of Tuesday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

That bomb -- the first of back-to-backs, with Carlos Beltran following him up -- set the tone for this game early on. Unsurprisingly, Correa has seen a course correction after hitting just .196/.292/.250 over his first 15 games; he's since played in another 15 contests, hitting .323 with three homers, 12 RBI and 12 runs over that span.
