Crawford went 1-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Rockies.

Crawford went deep for a three-run home run off Tyler Kinley in the ninth inning to increase the Giants' lead. It was his second long ball in three days. He has been a pitcher's nightmare lately, with a batting average just shy of .400 and 17 runs scored in his last 20 games. The 34-year-old is slashing .302/.376/.527 with 23 home runs, 88 RBI and 75 runs scored in 524 plate appearances this season.

Perdomo was recalled by the Diamondbacks on Sunday and will head straight into the starting lineup, batting eighth and playing shortstop against the Dodgers.

Perdomo made his big-league debut in early April but was sent down after appearing in just four games, going 1-for-10 at the plate. He's spent the bulk of the season with Double-A Amarillo, where he's hit an unremarkable .231/.351/.357 with six homers and eight steals in 82 games, though that performance begins to look much better once his age (21) is factored in. He'll get the chance to make a brief audition in the final week of the season, as Nick Ahmed (shoulder) hit the injured list in a corresponding move.

Ahmed was placed on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation Sunday.

Ahmed hasn't played in over a week with what was previously reported as right shoulder soreness, but it's apparently a left shoulder issue which will send him to the injured list. The move doesn't technically end Ahmed's season, as it's been backdated by three days, leaving him eligible to play in the season finale. Geraldo Perdomo was recalled to take his place on the roster and will start at shortstop Sunday against the Dodgers.

Rojas is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rays, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas returned from a knee injury to start the past four games, and he'll receive a day off after going 4-for-15 with a solo homer, a double, two walks and a stolen base. Jazz Chisholm will shift to shortstop while Joe Panik starts at the keystone.

DeJong went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Cubs.

His two-run blast off Tommy Nance in the ninth inning capped the scoring on the day for the Cards. DeJong is taking full advantage of Edmundo Sosa's absence due to a wrist injury, going yard in back-to-back games including the nightcap of Friday's doubleheader, but on the year he's still slashing just .200/.288/.400 with 19 homers, four steals, 44 runs and 45 RBI through 107 contests.

Turner went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a strikeout in a 7-2 loss to Arizona on Saturday.

Turner provided Los Angeles' only offense Saturday with solo shots in the sixth and ninth innings to give the middle infielder 24 homers on the season. The pair of long balls tied Turner's September total prior to Saturday and a current 12-game hitting streak has helped contribute toward a scorching .333/.385/.523 line across 22 games this month.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Rays.

Rojas smacked his ninth homer of the season off Shane McClanahan in the third inning Saturday to give the Marlins a 1-0 lead. With eight games remaining, the infielder is now just two long balls shy of matching his career high of 11 set in 2018.

Story is not in Saturday's lineup against the Giants.

He is hitting .244 with five home runs and two steals in 20 games this month. Brendan Rodgers will start at shortstop while Ryan McMahon handles the keystone and Colton Welker starts at the hot corner.

DeJong went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored during Friday's 12-4 win over the Cubs in the second game of the doubleheader.

DeJong was one of four Cardinals' players to hit a home run in the second game of Friday's twin bill after he took Michael Rucker deep to right in the third. The 27-year-old is slashing a lowly .185/.241/.444 with two homers, two RBI, three runs scored, a steal and 2:9 BB:K over 12 games this month as he's taken a backseat to Edmundo Sosa for the team's starting shortstop position. Sosa was banged up Friday after getting hit in the wrist by a pitch, which could afford DeJong some added playing time if Sosa is forced out with the injury.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the Mets.

Adames went back-to-back with Christian Yelich in the third inning for his only hit of the night. It was his first home run since returning from the injured list Sept. 20 and his 23rd of the year. Milwaukee got a bargain with the 25-year-old shortstop when it traded for him in May, as he's slashing .290/.369/.524 with 23 home runs, 69 RBI, 69 runs scored, five steals and 53:148 BB:K over 524 plate appearances.
