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.

Ahmed is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Josh Rojas will fill in at shortstop for Ahmed, who appears to be receiving a routine breather for the day game after a night game. Ahmed had started in each of the Diamondbacks' previous six games, going 3-for-19 with a pair of runs.

Williams is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

On the bench versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Erick Fedde) for the second day in a row, Williams looks like he won't be in line for an everyday role at the keystone while Jean Segura (groin) is on the shelf. Instead, the lefty-hitting Brad Miller looks poised to draw most of the starts at the position versus right-handed pitching, leaving the righty-hitting Williams to fill a short-side platoon role.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Mets.

His third-inning blast off Yennsy Diaz came after Marcus Stroman (hip) made an early exit for the Mets, and it ended up providing the only offense in the game. Swanson continues to struggle with consistent contact as he's batting .227 (17-for-75) in June, but he's still produced a solid 12 homers, 31 runs and 33 RBI through 72 games on the season.

Crawford went 3-for-3 with a double and a walk in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Angels.

While Crawford didn't knock in any runs or score in Tuesday's win, he still put in a good effort at the dish. The shortstop is now 6-for-15 (.400) across his last four games, putting his slump from last week to rest. He's posted a .260/.347/.548 slash line with 16 home runs, 48 RBI, 39 runs scored and five stolen bases through 239 plate appearances overall as a near-everyday option.

Owings was activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Owings began a rehab assignment last week and will rejoin the active roster after missing more than two months due to thumb surgery. He went 8-for-15 with three triples, three doubles, three RBI, two stolen bases and six runs in seven games prior to the injury. Now that he's back, he should fill a utility role for the Rockies. The 29-year-old is available off the bench for Tuesday's game at Seattle.
