Lindor went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 16-4 loss to the Cubs.

Lindor's bat finally came alive Wednesday night after he went hitless in each of the last three games. The 27-year-old kicked things off for the Mets by capitalizing on a hanging changeup and skying it into the right field bleachers to give his team an early 1-0 lead. Lindor added two more singles later in the game and came around to score once on a Pete Alonso home run in the fifth. Despite the blowout loss, it was an encouraging effort at the plate from Lindor, as he launched his first long ball in a Mets uniform and recorded his second multi-hit game of the year. His slash line now stands at .222/.357/.311 with three home runs, three RBI, eight runs scored and an impressive 9:4 BB:K.

Baez went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and three runs scored in Wednesday's 16-4 win over the Mets.

Baez made the most out of his one hit, popping his fifth home run of the season in the sixth inning with the bases loaded. The shortstop is still batting just .203, but he now has 16 RBI in 17 games, and he should continue to see his numbers improve as he settles in at the plate.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Cardinals.

The shortstop has turned on the afterburners, swiping four bags in the last six games, while also racking up four multi-hit performances in his last eight contests. Turner's hot streak has boosted his slash line on the season to .302/.343/.540 with four homers, five steals, seven runs and eight RBI.

Crawford left Wednesday's game against the Phillies due to tightness in his right side, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Donovan Solano suffered a calf injury in the same game and manager Gabe Kapler said he was likely headed to the injured list, but the skipper made no such comment regarding Crawford, so it sounds like he is day-to-day for now. If Crawford does miss time, Mauricio Dubon would be the likely starter at shortstop.

Turner went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Cardinals.

Most of Turner's fantasy production came in the eighth inning, when he singled home Andrew Stevenson to even the game at 2-2 and subsequently stole second. Turner is now tied for third in MLB along with a number of other players with four steals, and his slash line is a healthy .305/.349/.559 with four home runs, eight RBI and seven runs scored.

Rojas went 4-for-4 with a triple, a walk, an RBI and two runs scored during Tuesday's loss to the Orioles.

Rojas had himself a hot night at the plate, tying a career high with four hits, including a triple in the first inning and an RBI single in the sixth. The 32-year-old has now hit safely in five straight games, raising his season slash line to .327/.403/.455.

Adrianza will start in right field and bat leadoff Tuesday against the Yankees.

Adrianza will fill in for one of Atlanta's everyday players for the fourth game in a row. After logging a start for a resting Austin Riley on Friday, Adrianza closed the weekend with consecutive starts at second base in place of a banged-up Ozzie Albies (calf). Though Albies is back in action for Tuesday's series opener, Ronald Acuna is sitting out with an abdominal injury, allowing Adrianza will pick up his first turn in the outfield. Acuna is considered day-to-day, so Adrianza's run of regular playing time could soon be coming to an end.

Edman went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run in Monday's 12-5 win over the Nationals.

Getting the start in right field and hitting in his usual leadoff spot, the 25-year-old took Joe Ross deep in the third inning -- one of five homers by the Cards on the night. Edman has had a strong start to the season, slashing .294/.351/.441 through 16 games with two home runs, three steals, four RBI and eight runs.

DeJong went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk, five RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 12-5 win over the Nationals.

The shortstop took Joe Ross deep in the second and fifth innings, with the latter shot a grand slam that blew the game wide open. DeJong has a modest six-game hitting streak going that includes three homers over the last three days, pushing his slash line up to .189/.317/.472.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Seager's only hard contact of the night came in the third inning when he took Justus Sheffield deep to center field to cut the Dodgers' deficit to 3-2. He had a chance to make some more noise with two men on and one out in the ninth but grounded into a 4-6-3 double play to end the game. The long ball has been Seager's only source of production lately, as the 26-year-old has just two hits (both home runs) in his last 18 at-bats. He'll look to get things rolling again in Tuesday's series finale before the Padres come to town Thursday for a highly anticipated four-game series.
