Owings exited Wednesday's game versus Arizona with right leg soreness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

The 29-year-old made his impact felt prior to the injury, going 3-for-3 with a triple, two doubles, one run and two RBI. Owings should be considered day-to-day until more is known about the injury.

Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game at Colorado.

Perdomo is 1-for-9 with one run, two walks and two strikeouts through his first three big-league games, and he will take a seat Wednesday. Josh Rojas is starting at shortstop while Eduardo Escobar and Asdrubal Cabrera start at second and third base, respectively.

Edman went 3-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base Wednesday against the Marlins.

Edman recorded his first multi-hit game of the season, though has now reached base in all six of his starts. He also swiped his second base in an as many contests, coming around to score in the same inning on a single from Paul Goldschmidt. Edman has now collected seven hits in 25 at-bats this season, but only one has gone for extra bases.

Turner went 2-for-7 with a two-run home run and a double during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Braves.

The 27-year-old did all his damage during the Game 1 loss and went deep off Max Fried during the first inning to put Washington on the board. Turner is 3-for-11 with two home runs, one double and four RBI through the first three games of the season.

Crawford isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford had started each of the first five games of the season and went 2-for-18 with a solo home run and four strikeouts. Mauricio Dubon will start at shortstop Wednesday, batting eighth.

Rojas isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Rojas recorded hits in each of the past four games and went 5-for-15 with a double, three runs, two RBI and two stolen bases during that time. Jazz Chisholm will shift to shortstop while Jon Berti takes over at second base Wednesday.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Nationals.

The shortstop connected on his first homer of the season, and only his second hit through four games, in the second inning off Max Scherzer. Swanson rang up a career-high .809 OPS last year, and while his 0:6 BB:K indicates he doesn't quite have his timing down at the plate yet, Tuesday's blast suggests there's no cause for long-term alarm.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Padres.

Crawford provided the lone run for the Giants on a solo shot to right-center field to give them an early 1-0 lead. Unfortunately, the team mustered up only three hits on the night as Yu Darvish and the Padres' bullpen were nearly untouchable. Crawford has started out the year a bit slow with just two hits in his first 19 plate appearances, but perhaps the hard contact he made Tuesday will ignite his bat.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Cardinals.

The shortstop has collected hits in four straight games, and Tuesday's steal was already his second of the season after he managed only five in 40 games last year. Rojas has been hitting leadoff against left-handed pitchers and in the bottom half of the order against righties, but if he keeps running this often, he'll have fantasy value regardless of where he's batting.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and a strikeout during Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Braves.

The 27-year-old's status was in question for the season opener after not being seen at Monday's workout, but he took his usual spot in the field at shortstop Tuesday for Washington. Turner took Drew Smyly deep during the third inning for the Nationals' first home run of the season.
