Adames went 1-for-4 with two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Rockies.

Adames singled in the second inning before coming around to score, and he drew a walk in the sixth before scoring again. The 30-year-old shortstop has recorded at least one hit in seven of his last nine outings, batting .313 with six runs scored, three RBI, a home run and a stolen base in 36 plate appearances during that span. Overall, he's slashing .232/.279/.428 with 43 runs scored, 34 RBI, 14 long balls and two stolen bases across 355 plate appearances this season.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a walk, three runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

The shortstop reached on an error to lead off the game, singled in the second inning and drew a free pass in the ninth, coming around to score each time. Lindor is gaining some momentum at the plate, hitting safely in four straight contests while going 5-for-16 with a homer, two RBI and four runs, but on the season he still carries what would be a career-low .690 OPS through 145 plate appearances.

Lopez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk, three total RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.

Lopez is sizzling with a trio of three-hit games over his last four contests. He's also homered in consecutive games and has at least one extra-base hit in five of his last eight games. For the season, the shortstop is batting .346 with an .896 OPS, nine homers, 43 RBI, 59 runs scored, 25 doubles, five triples and 17 stolen bases through 89 contests.

Perdomo went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Brewers.

Perdomo has gone 12-for-40 (.300) with three extra-base hits and two steals over his last 10 games. The shortstop was the only Diamondback with multiple hits in this contest. He's batting .243 on the year while adding a .708 OPS, five home runs, 31 RBI, 39 runs scored, 13 doubles, three triples and 13 steals across 86 contests.

Pratt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Pratt will sit Sunday after starting the previous four games, and he went 2-for-12 with three walks, a steal and a run during that span. The 21-year-old has struggled to a .200/.317/.220 slash line with one double, six steals, two RBI and five runs in his first 17 big-league games. Joey Ortiz is taking over at shortstop for the series finale in Arizona.

De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in Saturday's 8-5 loss to Baltimore.

De La Cruz's RBI single in the second inning gave the Reds a 4-3 lead and extended his hit streak to seven games, during which he's gone 10-for-29 (.345). He then stole second base, advanced to third on a sacrifice fly and nearly scored a run on an infield single, but an Orioles challenge overturned a call for the third out. De La Cruz once again showed he's past the hamstring injury that forced him to miss the first three weeks in June -- the stolen base was his third in the last two contests.

Lopez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and a third RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Athletics.

This was Lopez's eighth multi-hit effort in his last 11 games. In that span, he has gone 19-for-48 (.396) with three homers, four doubles, two triples and seven RBI. The shortstop's recent consistency at the plate has him up to a .341 average and .877 OPS on the year, and he's added eight homers, 40 RBI, 57 runs scored, 24 doubles and five triples through 88 contests. Lopez's strong performance resulted in him being named to the National League All-Star team.

Griffin went 1-for-5 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Nationals.

The rookie shortstop got the Pirates on the board in the top of the first inning by singling, stealing second, advancing to third on a Bryan Reynolds knock and then scampering home as part of a successful double steal. Griffin's been very busy on the basepaths of late, going 5-for-5 on steal attempts over his last five games. On the season, the 20-year-old phenom sports a .271/.326/.403 slash line with five homers, 19 stolen bases, 23 RBI and 34 runs in his first 58 big-league games.

Atlanta placed Kim on the 10-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Wednesday, due to right middle finger inflammation.

Kim has gone 0-for-24 with four walks and eight strikeouts over his last 13 games and has not recorded a hit since June 3 against the Blue Jays. The 30-year-old infielder is eligible to return from the IL prior to the All-Star break, though it's unclear whether he'll need a longer stint on the shelf. Kyle Farmer (forearm) was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Friday's loss to Atlanta.

The performance snapped a brief seven-game skid in which he'd gone 5-for-25 without a multi-hit effort. Despite that small swoon, Bichette's mostly been on fire over the last month, and in 27 contests since June 3 he's delivered a .343/.368/.565 slash line with 13 extra-base hits (seven doubles, a triple and five homers), 16 runs and 19 RBI.
