Rojas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Brewers.

He gave the Marlins an early lead by taking Adrian Houser deep to lead off the bottom of the first inning. Rojas only has two homers on the year, but they've both come in the last three games -- part of a power binge that's seen him also rack up three doubles and a triple while going 10-for-19 during his current five-game hitting streak.

DeJong went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, two stolen bases, two RBI and a run during Saturday's 9-8 win over Colorado.

The 27-year-old delivered a two-RBI single during the opening frame, and he brought home another run via a double during the fifth inning. DeJong has a .193/.292/.404 slash line with seven homers, three doubles, 17 RBI and 19 runs through 32 games in 2021.

Baez left Saturday's game against the Pirates with back tightness, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Baez went 1-for-3 at the plate prior to exiting with the injury. It doesn't sound like a particularly serious one, but the shortstop could still find himself on the bench for at least one game. The Cubs have an off day Monday, so he'll wind up with two consecutive days of rest if he sits out Sunday.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 12-2 loss to the Phillies.

He was the only batter to have any real success against Zach Eflin and the Philly bullpen, accounting for Atlanta's only extra-base hits on the night including Swanson's third homer of the year. The shortstop has been feast or famine lately, collecting multiple hits in five of his last 11 games while going 1-for-21 in the other six combined, but his .293/.356/.488 slash line over that stretch is a definite step up from his early season efforts.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

The shortstop finally seems to be getting comfortable in his new uniform. Lindor's seventh-inning blast off Caleb Smith tied the game at 4-4 and was his first homer this season at Citi Field, and his second of the year. While he only sports a .549 OPS through 27 games, his 16:15 BB:K indicates his All-Star skill set is still intact, and the 27-year-old still has plenty of time to catch fire and put up his usual numbers.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in a 5-0 win over the Rockies on Friday.

Edman singled and later scored in the fifth inning Friday. He also drew the Cardinals' only walk in the game. The leadoff man has reached safely in 14 of his last 15 games. In 146 plate appearances, the 26-year-old is slashing .299/.356/.418 and leads his team with 40 hits.

Crawford isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Crawford has gone 4-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI, four runs, five walks and a stolen base in his last three games. Mauricio Dubon will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Lindor went 1-for-3 with three walks and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.

The shortstop had gone 0-for-23 over his prior six games, but Lindor snapped his slump while adding value with his batting eye. He hasn't lived up to his huge contract extension yet, slashing .163/.297/.207 with one homer and zero steals in 26 games, but Thursday's performance could be a sign he's coming around.

Adrianza went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

Adrianza only recorded one knock, but he made his presence felt -- his single to center scored both Ozzie Albies and Marcell Ozuna in the top of the fourth inning to put Atlanta up 3-0. Perhaps this is the game that will boost Adrianza's confidence going forward, as he only has two hits over his last 14 at-bats (nine games).

Rojas went 2-for-3 with a solo shot in Thursday's victory over the Diamondbacks.

The 32-year-old hit a solo shot off Madison Bumgarner in the first inning, his first home run of the season. Rojas continues to serve well as the leadoff man for the Marlins, as he's slashing .280/.368/.430 with a homer, three steals, 11 RBI and 18 runs this year.
