Turner went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's win over Arizona.

Turner smacked a two-out, two-run homer off Jose Ruiz to tie the game 5-5 in the bottom of the ninth before the Phillies would win it in extras. The long ball was Turner's fifth of the season and first since May 6. The clutch hit may be what Turner needs to get his season going -- he's still slashing just .250/.295/.392 with 25 runs scored, 13 RBI and six stolen bases through his first 217 plate appearances with the Phillies.

Berti is starting at third base and batting leadoff Wednesday in Colorado, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

This is Berti's fifth straight start in the leadoff spot and his third start in the last five games at third base as he fills in for the slumping Jean Segura. Berti is 7-for-18 at the plate over that span.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Astros.

Adames followed up a leadoff double by Christian Yelich with a two-run home run to open the scoring in the first inning. The shortstop was retired in his next three at-bats and is still struggling with consistency at the plate, but he's second on the team in homers with nine. Last year, Adams finished with 31 home runs and 98 RBI while slashing .238/.298/.458. He's currently slashing just .204/.290/.381.

DeJong is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Reds.

This is a rare day off for DeJong, who has hit his way back into an everyday role with a .291/.371/.616 slash line through 97 plate appearances. He's sitting on eight homers, 18 RBI, three steals and 21 runs scored in 25 games. Tommy Edman will cover shortstop and bat seventh Wednesday versus Cincinnati.

Rojas is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Kirsten Watson of SportsNet LA reports.

Rojas gets a breather for the series finale. Chris Taylor will handle shortstop duties and hit ninth against Bryce Elder and company.

Marcano is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest with the Rangers.

Marcano will head to the bench as the Pirates take on southpaw Martin Perez on Wednesday. Chris Owings with draw the start at shortstop and bat ninth in the series finale with Texas.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.

The switch-hitting Perdomo has begun to wriggle his way out of his platoon at shortstop with the righty-hitting Nick Ahmed, as the former has started in each of the past six games, including Tuesday, when the Phillies brought southpaw Matt Strahm to the hill. Though Perdomo will give way to Ahmed with lefty Ranger Suarez on the bump for Philadelphia on Wednesday, Ahmed's chances to play regularly against southpaws could soon come to an end while he's maintaining a .204/.220/.245 slash line (22 wRC+) over 50 plate appearances in those matchups for the season. Perdomo, meanwhile, owns a 128 wRC+ and 158 wrC+ versus lefties and righties, respectively, and brings more speed to the table than Ahmed.

DeJong went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Reds.

DeJong didn't contribute an RBI after logging four of them in each of the last two games, but he still had a solid effort. The shortstop's gone 7-for-23 (.304) over his last seven contests, and he's batting .291 with a .987 OPS, eight home runs, three steals, 18 RBI and 21 runs scored through 25 games overall.

Abrams went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.

The shortstop got the Nationals on the board by taking Yu Darvish deep in the fifth inning. Three of Abrams' five homers on the year have come in his last nine games, a stretch in which he's also banged out three doubles while batting .265 (9-for-34) with a steal, six runs and eight RBI.

Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Nationals.

The shortstop snapped an 18-game homer drought that extended back to April 30, launching his seventh homer of the year off MacKenzie Gore in the first inning. Bogaerts batted only .176 (12-for-68) during his power outage with just three RBI, but this performance could be a sign he's about to turn things around.
