Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Reds.

Schmitt's lone hit of the game opened the scoring in the second inning, and it was all the run support Blake Snell needed in his no-hitter. Over four contests since rejoining the major-league roster, Schmitt has gone 3-for-11 with two home runs and a triple. The infielder doesn't have an immediate path to everyday playing time, especially when he has Brett Wisely and Marco Luciano to compete with in the middle infield. For the season, Schmitt is slashing .231/.255/.519 with four homers, eight RBI, eight runs scored and no stolen bases over 55 plate appearances.

Edwards went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Friday's loss to Atlanta.

The switch hitter continues to be a terror on the basepaths, going 8-for-8 on steal attempts over the last 11 games. Edwards is also batting an absurd .447 (17-for-38) during that stretch with eight runs, eight RBI and a 7:8 BB:K, and he's cementing his spot as the Marlins' shortstop, and leadoff hitter, of the present and future.

Cruz went 5-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Diamondbacks.

The Pirates as a team managed only 13 hits in total, but Cruz nearly single-handedly kept them in the game with the first five-hit performance of his young career. The 25-year-old shortstop is slashing .311/.357/.589 over 23 games since the beginning of July with five homers, four steals, 15 runs and 20 RBI despite a 32.7 percent strikeout rate during that stretch.

Fitzgerald went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Friday's win over the Reds.

Fitzgerald knocked an RBI double in the second inning and added an insurance run with a solo blast in the seventh. He was stuck in a small 3-for-20 skid before Friday's big performance. Over the last 14 games, he's gone 19-for-52 (.365) with 13 extra-base knocks, including nine homers. The hot stretch has pushed Fitzgerald's season slash line to .313/.371/.633 through 140 plate appearances.

Arcia went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Friday's win against the Marlins.

The Atlanta shortstop opened the scoring for his team when he slugged a 399-foot solo shot off Valente Bellozo in the fifth inning. Arcia later added another RBI on a single in the eighth to stretch the Atlanta lead to 5-3. The 29-year-old has been hot since the All-Star break, hitting .356 (16-for-45) with four homers, five runs scored and eight RBI across 14 games. He is currently riding a 13-game hit streak.

Reds manager David Bell said Friday that McLain (shoulder) recently suffered a stress reaction in his rib cage, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

McLain had been hoping to begin a rehab assignment Aug. 12 and Bell added Friday that it's possible that happens. The young infielder has been working his way back from left shoulder surgery, which he had back in late March. McLain is hoping to rejoin the Reds at some point before the end of the season.

Arcia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Marlins.

He connected on Atlanta's third long ball of the game, launching a Max Meyer fastball over the left-field fence in the third inning. Arcia has hit safely in 12 straight games, a stretch in which the veteran shortstop is slashing .350/.409/.600 with three homers, four runs and six RBI. Thursday's blast was his 10th of the year, the fourth time in his career he's reached double digits in a season.

Winn went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Thursday's loss to the Cubs.

Winn singled in his third trip to the plate before later adding a two-run blast in the top of the seventh to put the Cardinals on top 3-2. It marked the shortstop's third home run in his last seven games and he's now hit safely in four straight. Over the former stretch, Winn is slashing .296 (8-for-27) with six RBI and four runs scored. He's also posted seven multi-hit performances over his last 16 contests.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.

Swanson continued his recent run of improved play and extended his hitting streak to three games. Over his last 10 contests, the shortstop is batting .343. It's been a disappointing season overall for Swanson, as he's batting just .223 with a .647 OPS, with the former in line to be a career worst.

Arcia will start at shortstop and bat fifth in Thursday's game versus the Marlins.

Atlanta has been forced to juggle its lineup often this season due to injury, but even with that, this is the highest Arcia has batted since May 23. He was batting ninth at the beginning of his current 11-game hit streak, a streak that's seen him sock a couple home runs while posting a .955 OPS.
