Seager went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Seager's fourth-inning long ball -- his eighth of the season -- was one of just two extra-base hits on the night for the Dodgers, but it was enough to give the team the win in the series opener with Walker Buehler outdueling Robbie Ray. With a .316/.422/.737 batting line over his last 11 games, Seager is finally beginning to meet expectations for fantasy managers, who likely invested a top-100 pick in him on draft day.

Baez went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's 8-1 win over the Angels.

Baez recently dealt with a heel injury that kept him out of the lineup Saturday, and the slugger went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in his return Sunday, but he looked just fine in this one. The 26-year-old is up to 14 home runs and 37 RBI, and he's well on his way to another outstanding season.

Ahmed isn't in Monday's starting lineup against the Dodgers.

Ahmed has been struggling at the dish over his last three contests (1-for-12), so he'll get the night off with Walker Buehler set to toe the rubber for the visiting Dodgers. Ketel Marte gets the nod at shortstop and will hit fifth with Ahmed out of the mix.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a double, home run, three RBI, two runs and a walk during a 7-4 victory against the Tigers on Sunday.

The 25-year-old has continued to experience quite a power surge this season. Swanson only had 14 homers all of last year, but he already has 12 long balls in 59 games during 2019. That's helped him post a .495 slugging percentage. Swanson is also batting .264 with 41 RBI, 31 runs and five steals in 216 at-bats.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs Sunday against the Orioles.

Crawford took Gabriel Ynoa and Dan Straily deep in the sixth and eighth innings respectively. He now has five home runs on the season, all of which have come since May 5. His overall numbers remain uninspiring, however, as he's hitting .214/.285/.333 across 214 plate appearances.

Camargo will start in right field and bat seventh Sunday against the Tigers, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Camargo saw semi-regular action in the first month of the season as a super-utility player, but the arrival of prospect Austin Riley has effectively ended any opportunity for the 25-year-old to see even a couple starts per week. He'll enter the lineup for the first time since May 21 with Nick Markakis getting a day off against a tough left-hander in Tigers hurler Matthew Boyd.

Story is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Story started the first 51 games of the season at shortstop for the Rockies, but he'll give way to Brendan Rodgers on Sunday for the second time in the last seven contests. Story has broken out over the last four games by going 11-for-18 with three doubles, a triple, two home runs and seven RBI.

Baez (heel) is starting at shortstop and batting cleanup Sunday at St. Louis.

Baez was scratched from Saturday's lineup with a bruised right heel and did not make an appearance in the contest. The 26-year-old has battled the heel issue over the last couple weeks, but he is apparently good to go for the series finale after taking a day to rest. Baez was 7-for-35 with two homers and 18 strikeouts in the nine games since the heel previously kept him out of the lineup.

Arcia went 2-for-6 with two home runs, four RBI, three runs and a walk during a 12-10 extra-innings victory against the Pirates on Saturday.

The Brewers shortstop helped Milwaukee take a five-run lead in the first three innings with his first two-run shot. Then in the 13th, he went deep again. This was Arcia's first two-homer game of the season, and actually, he only had two long balls in the entire month of May. Clearly, he's off to a strong start in June. Arcia is batting .264 with eight homers, 25 RBI, 26 runs and two steals in 197 at-bats this year.

Swanson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Tigers.

Swanson collected his first RBI on a fielder's choice in the fifth inning before belting the homer in the seventh. The 25-year-old has a .258/.312/.474 slash line with 11 home runs and 38 RBI this season.
