Dodgers' Trea Turner: Homers against former team
Turner went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Tuesday in a 9-4 victory versus the Nationals.
Facing the team with which he won a ring in 2019, Turner teed off with a two-run shot to center field in the first inning. The long ball was his third of the campaign and extended his hitting streak to 16 games.

Francisco Lindor SS | NYM
Mets' Francisco Lindor: Homers, drives in six
Lindor went 2-for-6 with a home run, triple, two runs and six RBI in a 13-12 loss to San Francisco on Tuesday.
Lindor got going late with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning, a two-run homer in the seventh and a bases-clearing triple followed by a run in a seven-run eighth. It was the 28-year-old's third multi-hit outing in his last six and his first with multiple extra-base hits since a two-homer game April 15. The excellent performance raises Lindor's slash line to .244/.333/.419 with seven home runs, 30 runs and 32 RBI.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Brewers' Willy Adames: Won't return this weekend
Adames (ankle) participated in batting practice and fielded grounders Tuesday but won't be activated during the upcoming four-game series in St. Louis, which begins Thursday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The 26-year-old recently said he was optimistic about being activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Thursday, but he'll be sidelined at least a few more days as he returns from a sprained left ankle. The fact Adames continues to ramp up his baseball activities is an encouraging sign, so he could be back for Monday's series opener against the Cubs.

Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Still sidelined with calf issue
Rojas (calf) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Tampa, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
The Marlins will be without both of their preferred starters in the middle infield, as Jazz Chisholm (hamstring) joins Rojas on the bench. Erik Gonzalez will hit eighth and check in at shortstop for Rojas, who is out for a second straight game due to a sore left calf.

Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA
Nationals' Ehire Adrianza: Kicking off rehab assignment
Adrianza (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Since Adrianza was moved to the 60-day injured list in late April and won't be eligible to join the Nationals until early June, he'll likely remain on his rehab assignment for the next two weeks, with a move to Triple-A Rochester expected to come at some point. For now, Adrianza will start out at Harrisburg, where he'll be able to pick up regular at-bats and prove he's recovered from the left quad strain by playing multiple spots in the field. Once he's cleared to return from the 60-day IL, Adrianza will likely displace Dee Strange-Gordon as the Nationals' top utility man.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Rises to Double-A
The Cardinals promoted Winn from High-A Peoria to Double-A Springfield on Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Winn will be joined in Springfield by two of the Cardinals' other top prospects in right-handed starters Gordon Graceffo and Michael McGreevy, who were also bumped up from High-A Peoria. Over his 147 plate appearances at Peoria this season, the 20-year-old Winn produced a .349/.404/.566 slash line while going 15-for-15 on stolen-base attempts.

Tommy Edman 2B | LAD
Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Nabs 11th steal
Edman went 0-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 7-3 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.
The 27-year-old came to the plate with two outs in the bottom of the 10th and drew a five-pitch walk, helping set the stage for Paul Goldschmidt's walkoff grand slam. Edman also stole his 11th bag of the season in that frame, and he's tied with teammate Harrison Bader and the Orioles' Jorge Mateo for second place in the majors in that category -- one SB behind rookie Julio Rodriguez.
