Turner went 0-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 win over Detroit.

Turner didn't collect any hits in the contest, but he registered a sacrifice fly in the third inning and reached base on a walk in the seventh. That extended his on-base streak to 38 games, the third-longest in the majors since 2020, per Dodger Insider. Turner also stole his fourth base of the season -- he leads the Dodgers in both steals and RBI (17).

Adames went 2-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.

The Brewers smacked 10 extra-base hits including six homers on the night, with Adames providing more than his share of the slugging. The shortstop is batting only .225 through 21 games, but he's delivering his expected power numbers with five home runs and 14 RBI.

DeJong isn't starting Saturday against Arizona.

DeJong started in the last four games and went 2-for-15 with a run and five strikeouts. Edmundo Sosa will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Mariners.

Rojas suffered a jaw contusion Thursday, but he was obviously feeling fine at the plate in this one. These were his first hits since April 22 and his average still sits below the Mendoza Line (.189).

Ahmed will sit Friday against the Cardinals.

Ahmed sits for the third time in eight games since his return from a shoulder injury last Friday. He's gone 5-for-16 with a homer and a pair of doubles but will sit here in favor of Geraldo Perdomo.

Abrams will be on the bench Friday against the Padres.

Each of Abrams' previous off days this season came against left-handers, but he'll sit here against righty Zach Thompson. He's struggled significantly at the plate through his first 14 major-league games as one might expect for a player skipping Triple-A after appearing just 42 times at the Double-A level, hitting .146/.255/.244. Ha-Seong Kim will be the shortstop Friday.

Rojas (jaw) is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Friday against the Mariners, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas was diagnosed with a jaw contusion after being hit in the head by a pitch Thursday against the Nationals, but it's apparently not a serious concern since he's back in the lineup a day later. The 33-year-old has struggled early in 2022 with a .163/.212/.224 slash line through 14 games.

Perdomo started at third base and went 0-for-2 with two walks in Thursday's 8-3 loss to the Cardinals.

This was Perdomo's second start at the hot corner, as the Diamondbacks find a way to give the prospect consistent plate appearances now that shortstop Nick Ahmed is back. It's not yet known if the organization will move Perdomo back to Triple-A once Josh Rojas (oblique) is also ready to return. In the past, the Diamondbacks have acknowledged Rojas' greatest asset is versatility, so they could have him fill a super-utility role instead of being the primary third baseman.

Edman went 2-for-4 with three runs, two RBI and a walk Thursday in an 8-3 win against Arizona.

Edman once again was a catalyst from the leadoff spot, scoring the Cardinals' first run in the first inning and crossing the plate again in each of the second and sixth frames. The second baseman also drove in a pair of runs while notching his fifth multi-hit game of the season. Edman is thriving to begin the campaign, slashing .323/.425/.532 with three homers, 11 RBI, 12 runs and four stolen bases across 74 plate appearances.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-1 win against the Cubs.

Swanson batted out of the nine spot in the order and was one of four Atlanta players with multiple hits. His third-inning solo shot traveled an estimated 432 feet and was his first long ball of the campaign. Swanson has reached based safely in six straight games and is batting .389 with five RBI and two steals over that stretch.
