Arcia went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Dodgers.

Arcia has homered three times and added eight RBI over his eight-game hitting streak. He's gone 11-for-30 (.367) in that span. His homer Saturday was a key hit, giving Atlanta the lead in the 10th inning. For the season, the shortstop has a career-high 17 long balls with 55 RBI, 57 runs scored, a stolen base and a .282/.336/.454 slash line in a career year.

Bogaerts went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Giants.

Bogaerts is up to 16 homers this year, four of which have come in his last 13 contests. While he's shown a little more power lately, he's batting just .220 (11-for-50) over that span. The shortstop is at a .261/.332/.399 slash line with 46 RBI, 61 runs scored and 13 stolen bases through 131 games this season, putting him on track for his worst numbers since 2014, which was his first full major-league campaign.

Crawford isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Left-hander Blake Snell's presence on the mound for San Diego will force the lefty-hitting Crawford to the bench. Paul DeJong will start at shortstop instead and bat seventh.

Wendle isn't in the Marlins' lineup Saturday against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle is just 1-for-13 across his last four games, so he'll head to the bench Saturday amid his offensive woes. Garrett Hampson will start at shortstop instead and bat seventh.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

The shortstop scored the winning run in the bottom of the eighth inning, poking a leadoff single before stealing his 25th bag of the season and coming home on a Daniel Vogelbach hit. Lindor has now tied his career high in stolen bases, a mark he initially set in 2018 with Cleveland, and since the beginning of August he's slashing .303/.367/.440 with three homers, eight steals, 14 RBI and 21 runs in 28 games.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Friday's 7-5 win over the Phillies.

Adames took Zack Wheeler deep with two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning, driving in teammates William Contreras and Carlos Santana. The homer was the shortstop's 22nd of the season and he has been red-hot since Aug. 18, batting .333 with four long balls, 14 RBI and eight runs scored over 48 at-bats in 12 games.

Perdomo is absent from the lineup Friday versus the Orioles.

Nick Ahmed will start at shortstop and bat eighth as the Diamondbacks look for platoon advantages against left-hander Cole Irvin. The switch-hitting Perdomo carries a .633 OPS in 54 plate appearances this year versus southpaws. He's put up a .786 OPS in 353 plate appearances versus righties.

Crawford (forearm) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Crawford will start at shortstop and bat eighth against the Padres following a two-week absence to heal a minor left forearm strain. The 36-year-old has slashed just .194/.264/.318 across 270 plate appearances when healthy this season.

Williams isn't in the Pirates' lineup Friday against the Cardinals.

The Pirates seem to have fallen into a pattern of rotating between Williams and Liover Peguero at shortstop over the past several days. Friday will mark Peguero's turn to start at short while Ji Hwan Bae starts at second base.

DeJong is not in the lineup Thursday at San Diego.

Casey Schmitt will start at shortstop and bat ninth for the visiting Giants. DeJong has gone 3-for-25 (.120) through his first seven games with San Francisco after a 3-for-44 (.068) run with Toronto.
