Ahmed went 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored and a walk in Monday's win against the Athletics.

Ahmed snapped a six-game hitting streak Sunday against the Padres, but bounced back quickly with his fourth multi-hit effort over the last seven days. The slick-fielding shortstop has hit .333 with a .903 OPS in 51 at-bats this month.

Swanson went 3-for-6 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's 7-6 win over the Nationals.

He capped a big night at the plate in dramatic fashion with a walkoff homer off Nats closer Daniel Hudson in the ninth inning. Swanson has hit safely in five straight games, going 10-for-23 (.435) during that hot streak, and on the year he's now hitting .298 with three homers and 16 RBI through 24 contests.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Monday's 11-9 win over the Mariners.

Seager went deep in the second inning to cap off a five-run rally with his three-run blast. He would later score the first run of another five-run inning in the seventh as he came home on an A.J. Pollock single. Seager has homered in consecutive games and now has six long balls to go with 16 RBI, 15 runs scored and a .306/.459/.611 slash line in 18 contests.

Owings (hamstring) went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Astros.

Owings hadn't played since he suffered the hamstring injury on Aug. 12. In Monday's contest, he hit for catcher Tony Wolters but did not stay in the game after his at-bat. Owings may need a few more days before he's ready to play the field.

Story went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 2-1 loss to the Astros on Monday.

Story provided the Rockies' lone run with a third-inning blast off Astros starter Brandon Bielak. It was one of just two hits in the game for the Rockies. Story has hit safely in nine straight games, and he's now batting .326 with seven homers, 15 RBI and 21 runs scored through 22 contests.

Mauricio was added to the Mets' 60-man player pool Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Although he wasn't with the team during spring training or summer camp, Mauricio will develop at the Mets' alternate training site among other top prospects. The shortstop is the No. 1 fantasy prospect in the Mets' system but shouldn't reach the majors during the abbreviated 2020 season. In 116 games with Low-A Columbia last season, the 19-year-old hit .268 with four home runs, 37 RBI and 99 strikeouts.

Rojas isn't starting Monday against the Mets.

Even though Rojas was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Saturday, he'll sit for the third consecutive game. Jonathan Villar will take over at shortstop Monday.

Swanson went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs and one strikeout in Sunday's win against the Marlins.

Swanson was one of the top offensive performers in Sunday's pitching duel, and he scored in the sixth and seventh innings to help the Braves secure their second straight win. The shortstop is hitting .284 with eight extra-base hits and 14 RBI this season.

Arcia went 3-for-4 with a home run, triple, two RBI and three runs scored Sunday against the Cubs.

Arcia played a big role in the team's win against the Cubs, with his biggest contribution coming on a two-run home run in the fifth inning. It was his first home run of the year and he now has only four extra-base hits on the season. While still getting regular playing time, the return of Luis Urias has left Arcia out of the starting lineup twice in the team's past six contests.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Angels.

Seager went deep in the fourth inning off reliever Matt Andriese. In four games since returning from a back injury, Seager has two homers, six RBI and three runs scored. He's slashing .294/.342/.574 with five homers, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored in 17 contests overall.
