Abrams went 2-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's victory over the Cardinals.

After receiving the day off Wednesday, Abrams picked up right where he left off, with two hits Thursday. He is now batting .360 (9-for-25) in his last six games to improve his slash line to .230/.274/.305 on the season. He has also scored five runs in that stretch, as he has been somewhat of a second leadoff hitter batting mostly in the ninth spot in the order.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas is 3-for-14 with four strikeouts through five games in September and will take a seat for Thursday's series finale in Philadelphia. Joey Wendle will shift to shortstop while Brian Anderson starts at the hot corner.

Marcano isn't starting the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Marcano is resting after he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during the first game of the twin bill. Jack Suwinski will start in left field and bat sixth.

Abrams is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

With southpaw Jordan Montgomery on the bump, the lefty-hitting Abrams will give way to Ildemaro Vargas at shortstop. Abrams started each of the past five games and went 7-for-20 to bring his batting average up to .226 for the season.

Berti isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Berti returned from a hip injury Tuesday and went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts. He'll head back to the bench while Charles Leblanc starts at second base and leads off.

Crawford isn't starting Wednesday against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area

Crawford recorded hits in four of the last five games and went 4-for-15 with a homer, four RBI and three runs during that time. Thairo Estrada is starting at shortstop and batting fifth Wednesday.

Grissom went 4-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.

Grissom produced four singles Tuesday, most notably ripping a two-run base knock in the first frame that drove in teammates Dansby Swanson and Matt Olson. He later came around to score in the fifth inning after singling earlier in the frame. The multi-hit effort was his first in his last 11 games, but he now owns a .337 average with four homers, 14 RBI, 19 runs and four stolen bases over his first 92 career at-bats.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Crawford got the Giants within two runs with his sixth-inning blast, but those were their last runs of the game. The shortstop has delivered at least one RBI in four of his last five games, though his homer was his first since Aug. 20. He's slashing .228/.309/.350 with eight homers, 45 RBI, 40 runs scored, one steal, 13 doubles and two triples through 98 contests.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

Turner picked up his 23rd steal of the season after a third-inning single, and he scored on a Max Muncy home run later in the frame. While he's gone just 8-for-38 (.211) over his last nine games, he's picked up one home run, three steals and four RBI in that span. The shortstop is slashing .305/.349/.479 with 19 homers, 90 RBI, 84 runs scored, 34 doubles and two triples through 134 contests, and it's safe to assume his bat won't stay quiet for long.

Berti (hip) is starting at second base and leading off Tuesday against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

He will face ace Aaron Nola in his first game back after missing almost a week with a hip issue. Berti hit one home run with four steals and a .222 average in 17 games in August.
