Turner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run and RBI in an 11-2 win against the Padres on Sunday.

Turner singled home a run and scored as part of a six-run seventh inning and tacked on a solo shot in the ninth for his third multi-hit game in his last five. The 29-year-old has hit safely in each of nine September contests, slashing .300/.333/.575 with six extra-base hits and two stolen bases.

Crawford isn't in the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a strikeout Saturday and will be out of the lineup for the fifth time in the last seven games. Thairo Estrada is starting at shortstop and batting sixth.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-6 victory over the Reds.

The 27-year-old went yard for the second game in a row to help the Brewers defeat the Reds. The two-run shot in the second was Adames' 28th homer on the season, good for second among shortstops and just one shy of Corey Seager. Adames is heating up, as he is 8-for-26 over his last seven games, with five of those hits going for extra bases.

Lindor went 3-for-5 with one double, one homer, two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's win over Miami.

Lindor hit a solo homer off lefty reliever Andrew Nardi with two outs in the fifth. This blast ended a 21-game stretch without a home run for the shortstop. The 28-year-old has been better at putting the bat on the ball in his last 11 games with a .310 average and just six strikeouts over 42 at-bats.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a triple, a double, a walk, three runs and three RBI in Saturday's 8-4 victory against the Padres.

Turner scored the Dodgers' first run in the third inning and produced their next three tallies with a bases-clearing double in the fifth. He extended his hitting streak to eight games, during which he's batting .286 with a homer, eight RBI, six runs and two stolen bases. Turner's 94 RBI on the campaign are already a career high, and he ranks fourth in the majors in that category.

Cruz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Cruz is on quite the tear during his seven-game hitting streak. He's gone 14-for-30 (.467) with three homers, eight RBI, five runs scored, two triples and two doubles in that span. The massive surge has him up to a .231/.279/.470 slash line with 14 homers, 43 RBI, 31 runs scored and six stolen bases through 66 contests. The walk he drew Saturday was his first in nine games, and while he's hot at the plate, he still has a 36.2 percent strikeout rate compared to a 6.4 percent walk rate.

Barrero went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Brewers.

Barrero accounted for two of the three times the Reds had a man on base. He stole third after a third-inning double, then scored on a TJ Friedl sacrifice fly. Barrero has done alright in September, going 6-for-28 (.214) with three walks, two steals, two RBI and three runs scored. The 24-year-old shortstop is still struggling overall with a .167/.208/.237 slash line, two home runs, three steals, nine RBI and nine runs scored through 120 plate appearances.

Adames went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Reds.

Adames' first-inning blast was ultimately all the offense the Brewers needed. The shortstop snapped a 14-game homer drought, which was his longest of the year. In that span, he hit .246 (15-for-61) with five doubles, four RBI and eight runs scored. He's up to a career-best 27 homers with 81 RBI, 72 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .229/.288/.453 slash line through 118 contests overall.

Edman isn't starting Saturday against Pittsburgh, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Edman is getting a rare day off after he hit .389 with three RBI, two doubles, a stolen base, a walk and a strikeout over the last five games. Paul DeJong will take over at shortstop and bat ninth.

Edman went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a stolen base in Friday's 8-2 loss to Pittsburgh.

Edman knocked an RBI double in the seventh inning as part of his ninth multi-hit effort over his last 17 appearances. During that stretch, he's gone 25-for-67 (.373) with 14 extra-base hits and 14 RBI. On the year, he's stolen 27 bases while knocking 45 extra-base hits and posting a .267/.325/.412 slash line through 135 games.
