  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Braves' Dansby Swanson: Steals fourth bag of season

    Swanson went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored during Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Red Sox.

    Swanson drew a walk in the third inning and proceeded to steal second base before Matt Olson brought him home with an RBI double to center. While the shortstop is on pace for a career high in stolen bases with four steals through 32 games, overall he's struggled with the bat and is slashing just .226/.303/.671.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Braves' Orlando Arcia: Walk-off homer in three-hit effort

    Arcia went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Red Sox.

    Arcia started rallies in the third and seventh with singles, but he only came around to score once. However, in the bottom of the ninth with the score tied 3-3 and Ozzie Albies on first base, Arcia ripped two-run homer to left field for his first long ball of the season. The backup middle infielder has appeared in just two games since April 24, but he's 4-for-5 during those contests.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Homers in victory

    Crawford went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, three RBI and two runs Wednesday's win over the Rockies.

    Crawford drove in a run on a fielder's choice and came around to score in the bottom of the fourth inning before later taking Chad Kuhl deep for a two-run shot in the following frame. The homer was the shortstop's third of the year and second in his last seven games. Overall, Crawford's slash line of .223/.328/.359 leaves much to be desired, and he'll look to build off this performance moving forward.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Dehydration causes exit

    Rojas was removed from Wednesday's win over the Diamondbacks due to dehydration, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Rojas went 1-for-4 before being pulled for a pinch hitter during the ninth inning. He'll have Thursday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery and should be available for Friday's series opener versus Milwaukee.

  • Joey Wendle 2B | ATL

    Marlins' Joey Wendle: Exits with hamstring tightness

    Wendle was removed in the bottom of the third inning of Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks with right hamstring tightness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Wendle made his presence felt at the plate before departing with the injury, going 2-for-2 with a two-run home run to give the Marlins an early lead. Erik Gonzalez came on to replace Wendle, who can be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Marlins' weekend series with the Brewers.

  • Phillies' Johan Camargo: On bench in series finale

    Camargo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Since Didi Gregorius (knee) was placed on the injured list, Camargo and Bryson Stott have split work at shortstop. After going 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts in Tuesday's 5-4 loss, Camargo will cede the start at the position to Stott in the series finale.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Not starting Wednesday

    Ahmed isn't starting Wednesday's game against Miami.

    Ahmed has hit just .091 with three runs, two RBI, two walks and six strikeouts over his last seven games, and he'll be on the bench for the second time in the last three matchups. Geraldo Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Fighting slump

    Ahmed went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over Miami.

    Ahmed returned to the lineup after a one-day breather and delivered one of three two-out RBIs during Arizona's four-run third inning. It was just his second hit over the last 24 at-bats. The shortstop was scalding when he first came off the injury list, notching three home runs and two doubles while hitting .348 over his first 23 at-bats, but he has gone the other way since.

  • Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Delivers pair in win

    Perdomo started at third base and went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Marlins.

    Perdomo was one of three consecutive bottom-of-the-order hitters to deliver two-out RBIs in Arizona's four-run third inning, which chased Miami starter Jesus Luzardo and provided separation for the Diamondbacks. A later single produced one of three runs in the eighth inning, giving Perdomo three RBI in 24 games. Hitting at the bottom of the order doesn't generate a lot of RBI opportunities for the infield prospect, who has has lost at-bats since Josh Rojas returned from injury. However, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo jockeys the lineup so that Perdomo stays fresh. Tuesday was Perdomo's third start in the five games since Rojas was activated.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Swipes fourth bag

    Lindor went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Nationals.

    The shortstop delivered his first multi-hit performance since April 29, bookending a nine-game slump that saw him bat .139 (5-for-36). Lindor's .246/.326/.418 slash line is on a par with his disappointing numbers over the prior two seasons, but he's at least picked up the slack in the counting stats, adding five homers, four steals, 17 runs and 18 RBI through 31 games.
