Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-0 win over Minnesota.

Turner immediately used his wheels to help the Dodgers get off to a fast start, reaching on an infield single in the first inning, subsequently stealing second base and coming around to score on a Justin Turner single. The theft was his first of the campaign after he logged 32 steals last year. Trea is batting a modest .238 on the season, but he has collected exactly one hit (all singles) in each of his five contests to push his hitting streak to 24 games dating back to last season.

Williams went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in a 2-1 win Wednesday over San Diego.

Making his second start of the season, Williams drove in two runs on a two-out double in the second inning. The 25-year-old batted eighth and played third base. The versatile utility man appeared at every position other than pitcher and catcher last season as a member of the Phillies, but he's only logged time at the hot corner thus far in 2022. Both his starts have come against left-handed starting pitchers.

Crawford, who exited Tuesday's 13-2 win over the Padres with a wrist injury, said that he's day-to-day and is hopeful to rejoin the Giants lineup Friday in Cleveland, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Manager Gabe Kapler substituted out multiple starters after the Giants raced out to a 10-1 lead after two innings, but Crawford's early exit apparently wasn't precautionary. Though Crawford noted that his wrist feels better than it did Tuesday, he's still uncomfortable while swinging the bat and looks like he'll miss Wednesday's series finale with San Diego as a result. Mauricio Dubon or Thairo Estrada will likely fill in for Crawford at shortstop.

Perdomo will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Perdomo has picked up six straight starts to begin the season, but his standing atop the depth chart may last only as long as Nick Ahmed's (shoulder) stint on the injured list. With an .083 average, one run and no other counting stats, Perdomo isn't offering much from a fantasy perspective, but he's submitting competitive plate appearances and has drawn five walks against three strikeouts.

Turner will start at shortstop and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Twins, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The Dodgers are off to 2-2 start to the season despite getting little production from its top three batters in the lineup in Turner (.444 OPS), Mookie Betts (.433) and Freddie Freeman (.681). The track record of all three stars suggests fantasy managers should eventually expect the trio to get dialed in at the dish, at which point the Dodgers' lineup should re-emerge as the juggernaut many predicted heading into the season. Expect Turner's involvement in the run game to also increase once his .222 on-base average veers closer to his career norm.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and three runs in Tuesday's victory over the Orioles.

Adames reached base multiple times for the third time in five games, and he now owns five runs and a .988 OPS on the season. He has started every game at the shortstop position and has filled the second spot in the batting order in each contest.

Arcia went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a run in Tuesday's 16-4 win over the Nationals.

Arcia has been part of a platoon at designated hitter with Alex Dickerson to begin the season, but he's unlikely to see his role expand much moving forward. As the right-handed hitter of the platoon, Arcia will find himself out of the lineup more often than not, and both Dickerson and Arcia will see their opportunities trend down once Ronald Acuna (knee) is deemed ready to make his season debut.

Castillo went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs.

Castillo was in the lineup for the second consecutive game, playing second base while hitting fifth. Though he has not carried over his powerful performance during spring training, Castillo has five hits across his first 13 at-bats. Despite that promising start to his big-league career, Castillo appears to be on the short side of a platoon with Hoy Park at second base for the time being.

Wendle will be on the bench Tuesday against lefty Patrick Sandoval and the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Through five games, Wendle has started against three righties and sat against two lefties. Jon Berti will handle the hot corner Tuesday.

Swanson will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

Atlanta is facing a left-handed starter (Patrick Corbin) for the second day in a row, but even with lefty-hitting regulars Eddie Rosario and Alex Dickerson out of the starting nine, Swanson hasn't been able to climb much in the order. Swanson didn't hit any higher than seventh in any of Atlanta's first five games, going 2-for-16 with 10 strikeouts.
