Turner hit his 10th home run in a 2-for-4 game with two RBI in Monday's win over the Nationals.

Turner is on an absolute tear. He is now 8-for-17 with four home runs and eight RBI over his last four games and has raised his batting line from .235/.324/.373 to .252/.336/.432 in that short span. It's possible Turner may have lost his starting spot due to his slow start had the Dodgers not been dealing with so many injuries, but with this hot streak, he has cemented his spot in the lineup.

Stanton went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Rockies.

All eight runs scored in this one were on solo homers, and Stanton got his out of the way early after going back-to-back with Marcell Ozuna in the first inning. The Marlins had to be relieved to see their young slugger go yard again, as he hadn't done so since May 24. Hopefully he'll start producing again with that monkey off his back.

Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo homers in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Rockies.

Ozuna has really heated up over the last two games, smacking three homers en route to five RBI. He has been the most productive member of a stacked Marlins outfield, slashing .322/.374/.567 while leading the team with 15 long balls.

Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a solo homer in Monday's 5-3 victory over the Marlins.

Blackmon's ninth-inning blast gave the homer-happy Rockies a useful insurance run, and was the team's fifth solo shot of the evening. The leadoff man entered this contest without a hit in thirteen plate appearances over the last three games, but made up for lost time with three in five tries this time around. He's sitting on a respectable .292/.357/.475 line at the moment.

Ozuna supplied all the game's offense Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over the Rockies.

The homer was his 13th of the season and while he's cooled down a bit in June, Ozuna's still hitting .274 (17-for-62) on the month with three home runs and 14 RBI in 17 games.

Belt went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and a solo shot, his 10th home run of the season, in Sunday's win over the Rays.

He's found his power stroke in June, launching five homers in 15 games while hitting .358 (19-for-53). Belt is still looking for the first 20 HR campaign of his career, but he's well on pace to top that mark in 2016.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, his ninth of the year, against the Brewers on Saturday.

As if two homers and a walk-off single Friday weren't enough, Turner's home run in the third inning of this one tied the game and continued his ascent from early season struggles. The veteran was one of four Dodgers with two runs and posted a game-high three RBIs. In his last 12 games, Turner has raised his OPS 106 points.

Winker (wrist) went on the minor league DL at Triple-A Louisville on Friday, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Winker is set for an exam with Reds team physician Dr. Timothy Kremchek early next week, suggesting that he won't be returning to action anytime soon.

Stanton went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI in a win over the Rockies on Friday.

A pair of hits rarely qualifies as a newsworthy effort, but it was just Stanton's second multi-hit game since May 13. He's driven in just five runs in June, but did manage to get his average back up to the Mendoza line. The slugger is batting .200/.309/.420 over 200 at-bats this season.

Harper went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI in Friday's win over the Padres.

It's his second straight two-hit game, and after slumping through the latter part of May, Harper's now hitting .308/.393/.404 through 52 June at-bats. It's only a matter of time before his power reemerges as well, so the Nats' slugger could be poised for a productive few weeks heading into the All-Star break.
