Adames went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and a strikeout in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

Adames completed the Brewers' late-game comeback Friday by homering off Daniel Bard in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie the contest, and he also reached base with a pair of singles in the narrow win. His home run was his second since June 5, but the 25-year-old has now had three multi-hit performances in his last seven games, batting .379 with two homers, six RBI and five runs during that time.

Rojas went 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Friday's win over the Nationals.

Rojas was one of four Miami players to record at least two hits, but he paced the Marlins in the RBI department and also ended a 13-game homer drought with his long ball in the bottom of the first inning. The shortstop now has four homers on the season while adding 20 RBI across 55 games.

DeJong will sit Friday against the Pirates, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

DeJong had started 13 straight games after returning from a rib injury in mid-June. He struggled to a .095/.174/.167 slash line over that stretch, a performance even worse than the .177/.277/.371 line he managed in 35 games prior to the injury. Edmundo Sosa starts at shortstop in his absence.

Adrianza went 3-for-3 with an RBI in Thursday's win over the Reds.

Getting the start in right field, Adrianza put together his second three-hit effort of the year, with the last coming May 8. The veteran utility player continues to be used sparingly, but he has a respectable .255/.339/.406 slash line through 125 plate appearances on the year with three homers, 16 runs and 19 RBI.

Baez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout as the Cubs defeated the Dodgers, 4-0 on Thursday.

Baez opened the scoring in the first with his 401-foot blast to center off Walker Buehler, which would be all the support Zach Davies would need, as the starter and three Chicago relievers combined to throw a no-hitter. Despite the long ball, Baez is still mired in a June slump as he's now 8-for-62 this month, though half of those hits are home runs.

Turner went 1-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Marlins.

Turner reached base safely three times on two walks and a single and scored in the second and seventh innings on doubles by Juan Soto. The shortstop is slashing .315/.365/.481 with 34 RBI and 41 runs in 315 plate appearances. He still has premium power and speed, with 11 long balls and 15 steals this season. The fantasy star is on a heater, going 15-for-34 since June 15, with eight runs and a pair of steals in that span.

Seager (hand) remains on track to return in early July, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said that "everything is where it needs to be" in regards to Seager's rehab. Even so, it's no surprise that the team is taking a cautious approach with its star shortstop, as he recently had his return to game action pushed back. Seager will now reportedly begin a rehab assignment as soon as June 28.

Edman is starting at second base and batting sixth in Thursday's game against the Pirates, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Manager Mike Shildt said Wednesday that he wanted to "shake things up" with the Cardinals' lineup Thursday, so Edman will move out of the leadoff spot for the first time this season despite going 6-for-15 with three runs, an RBI, a stolen base, a walk and a strikeout across the last four games. His placement in the lineup going forward likely depends on how the Cardinals respond to the changes, but Dylan Carlson will lead off in Thursday's matchup.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.

After going 2-for-16 over his prior five games, Lindor showed another flicker of his Cleveland form. The shortstop has yet to put together a sustained hot streak for the Mets but June has been his best month so far, as he's slashing .256/.337/.500 through 23 games with five of his nine homers on the season.

Story went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI Wednesday against the Mariners.

Story went yard in both the fourth and eighth innings to record his first multi-homer game of the season. The effort brought his total on the campaign to eight, three of which have come in his last three games. To this point, Story has delivered an underwhelming .259/.332/.444 line across 262 plate appearances, though he's also chipped in a very valuable 13 stolen bases.
