Crawford went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Brewers.

Crawford's three hits were good for a new season high. Unfortunately for the shortstop's fantasy owners, Stephen Vogt (two RBI) and Kevin Pillar (two RBI) cleared the bases ahead of Crawford in the batting order, leaving no runs to be driven in despite him racking up five total bases.. Still, it was a strong day at the plate for the veteran, who hadn't recorded an extra-base hit since June 2. Crawford is still slashing a mediocre .212/.286/.324 on the year.

Turner went 3-for-5 with a triple in a 10-3 loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Turner tripled to left field leading off the bottom of the first inning and scored Washington's first run. He is now 13-for-29 in his last seven games to raise his batting average 43 points. His slash line for the season is .298/.348/.550, and he has five homers and 10 stolen bases in 131 at-bats.

Ahmed went 4-for-5 with a double and a triple in a 10-3 win over Washington on Saturday.

Ahmed tripled in the second inning and doubled in the third inning to key rallies for Arizona. The 29-year-old continues to hit well and has 27 extra-base hits this year, leading to a .277/.329/.434 slash line in 249 at-bats.

Story (forehead) is starting at shortstop and batting second Saturday versus the Padres.

Story had a bad hop Friday ricochet off his wrist and hit him in the forehead, which forced him to leave the field with the athletic trainer. The 26-year-old won't miss any additional time and will look to continue his strong start to the series after going 4-for-10 with a double and a home run through the first two games.

DeJong went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Mets on Friday.

DeJong squared up for his second home run in as many nights, blasting a game-tying, 366-foot shot to left in the eighth inning. The shortstop has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, although only one of those contests was a multi-hit effort.

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

Ahmed took Max Scherzer deep to lead off the fifth inning for his fifth home run in 2019. It snapped a 14-game drought without a homer for the shortstop, who hit 16 long balls last season.

Story had to exit Friday's game against the Padres after taking a grounder off his head, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Story took a bad hop off his wrist and forehead, and the Rockies' team trainer walked him off the field shortly after. He'll be considered day-to-day until further notice.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Mets in a tie game suspended by rain in the ninth inning Thursday.

DeJong squared up on a sixth-inning Jacob deGrom offering, sending it 411 feet into the center field bleachers for his third round tripper of June. The shortstop has already matched his homer total for all of May and has now hit safely in eight of his last nine games.

Story went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a win against San Diego on Thursday.

Story's second-inning home run -- a 410-foot blast to right field -- was his first in June and broke a season-high 10-game stretch without going yard. The fourth-year slugger still has only three hits in his last 25 at bats, striking out nine times during that stretch. Despite the recent struggles, Story is putting up a solid 2019 campaign with a season slash line of .278/.347/.527 accompanied by 16 homers, 46 RBI and 11 stolen bases.

Seager (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

This was expected after Seager exited Tuesday's game against the Angels with what was initially described as a Grade 2-plus left hamstring strain. According to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register, an MRI on Wednesday revealed the shortstop is dealing with a Grade 1-to-2 strain; while the injury is less severe than the Dodgers had originally feared, an early estimated timetable for Seager's recovery is still 4-to-6 weeks. Matt Beaty (hip) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move, while Chris Taylor represents the likeliest candidate to fill in at shortstop while Seager is on the shelf.
