Turner went 2-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals.

Turner was one of three players in the lineup to have two hits but was the only one who was active on the basepaths, picking up his fourth steal of the season. He's now had multiple hits in three of his last four games but has totaled just two extra-base hits so far.

Bichette went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

The shortstop finally connected for his first long ball of the season, driving a George Kirby slider into the second deck in left field at the Rogers Centre in the third inning. Bichette was just 3-for-25 to begin the season, but he has an extra-base hit in four straight games, going 5-for-14 with three doubles plus Tuesday's homer, as well as a 3:4 BB:K.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Yankees.

The hits are starting to come for the 30-year-old shortstop. Anderson has four multi-hit performances in the last seven games, and he's batting .346 (9-for-26) over that stretch. It's a very encouraging sign after his numbers cratered in 2023, but as yet, the contact hasn't resulted in much actual production. On the season, only one of Anderson's 13 hits (a double) has gone for extra bases, and he has just one RBI, three runs and two steals in 12 contests.

Abrams (finger) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Tuesday versus the Giants, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Abrams will be back in the lineup after missing the last three contests with a bone bruise on his left pinky. The 23-year-old currently owns a six-game hitting streak, batting .375 with two homers, five RBI, five runs scored and three stolen bases over those contests.

Seager is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the A's.

Seager started the past seven games and will take a seat after posting an .889 OPS during that stretch. It's likely just a maintenance day for the veteran shortstop since he was sidelined for most of spring training while recovering from offseason hernia surgery. Josh Smith will man shortstop in his place Tuesday.

Rocchio is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's tilt against the White Sox.

It's a routine day off for Rocchio, who has now started nine of 11 contests at shortstop for the Guardians this season. Gabriel Arias will get the call at short Tuesday.

Story will undergo season-ending surgery Friday to repair a fractured glenoid in his left shoulder, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Story suffered that injury as well as a subluxation when he landed awkwardly after attempting a diving stop on a grounder during a game Friday. The recovery timetable for the surgery is six months, which will end Story's 2024 season but should give him a shot to be ready at the start of the 2025 campaign. Story will have played just 145 of a possible 486 games (31 percent) in three seasons with the Red Sox after signing a six-year, $140 million contract. Boston is expected to use a platoon of David Hamilton and Romy Gonzalez at shortstop for the time being.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Hamilton and Romy Gonzalez will form a platoon at shortstop while Trevor Story (shoulder) is sidelined, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

The left-handed hitting Hamilton should fill the strong side of the platoon, with Ceddanne Rafaela also expected to see some time in the middle infield. It will be the first extended run of playing time in the big leagues for Hamilton, who shined Sunday in his season debut by going 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a walk.

Leonard is recovering from a left oblique strain, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Leonard suffered the injury while playing for Triple-A Toledo and is now headed to extended spring training to rehab. It's not clear at this point how much time he might miss.

Arcia went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's loss to the Mets.

The 29-year-old shortstop has racked up five multi-hit performances in Atlanta's first nine games, while failing to collect a hit at all only twice. Arcia is batting a dazzling .417 (15-for-36) with five doubles in the early going, but his spot at the bottom of the lineup has limited his production otherwise -- those knocks have turned into just two RBI and four runs.
