Ahmed went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Rockies.

Ahmed's seventh-inning homer, his fourth of the season, gave Arizona breathing room but the bullpen couldn't hold the lead. The shortstop has hit in five straight, going 10-for-21 (.476) to raise his average to .273.

Arcia went 2-for-3 with a double, a two-run home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Twins.

Arcia doubled home a run in the third inning to get Milwaukee into the scoring column, and he came up big with a two-run blast in the eighth to propel his team ahead 5-4. The 24-year-old shortstop has been in a groove at the dish of late, reaching base safely in four of his last five contests. He's registered four extra-base hits and seven RBI over that stretch.

Story is not in Monday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Story will get a rare day off Monday, with Brendan Rodgers getting the nod at shortstop instead. Story has gotten off to another strong start this season, hitting .270/.338/.507 across 234 plate appearances while also recording 13 home runs and eight stolen bases. He should be back in the lineup for Tuesday's action.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a walk and two runs scored Sunday against the Pirates.

Seager left the yard in the second inning with a solo shot, and he plated another run in the fifth on a fielder's choice. The 25-year-old has reached base safely in four of his last five contests, driving in five runs over that stretch.

Herrera remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, David Wilson of the Miami Herald reports.

Herrera appeared to capture primary center-field duties earlier in the month, but his middling production at the dish prevented him from running away with the full-time job. Harold Ramirez has since passed him in the pecking order, as Herrera will come off the bench for the eighth time in the Marlins' last nine games.

Crawford will return to the lineup Saturday against Arizona following a two-game absence while battling pink eye, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Crawford is hitting .161 over his last nine games. He'll bat eighth and play shortstop Saturday.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the Marlins.

The double was Turner's fourth in his last five games, but otherwise he's been sluggish since coming off the injured list last week, slashing .243/.282/.351 with two steals, two RBI and four runs. The shortstop also committed two errors Friday, suggesting rustiness is an issue with his glove as well as his bat. Turner should snap out of it sooner or later, but his abbreviated rehab assignment -- he played only two games at High-A after missing six weeks with a broken finger -- is having an impact.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 5-2 win over the Cardinals.

The shortstop connected for a solo shot off Miles Mikolas in the sixth inning, then launched a two-run blast off Giovanny Gallegos in the eighth. Swanson now has 10 homers on the year -- four of which have come in the last eight games -- and his .262/.319/.492 slash line is a definite step up for the 25-year-old.

Arcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies.

The shortstop went yard for the first time since April 23, but Arcia's been enjoying a solid May despite the lack of power, hitting .280 (21-for-75). He's now slashing .254/.317/.382 on the year with five homers, two steals, 18 runs and 18 RBI through 51 games.

Story went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs in Friday's 8-6 win over the Orioles.

Story's seventh-inning blast was the 100th homer of his career, a feat the shortstop accomplished in 449 games. He didn't stay on the milestone for long, going yard again in the ninth inning for a walkoff. Story has 13 homers, 35 RBI and 41 runs scored in 50 games this season.
