    Turner reached on a single in his first at-bat during the first inning and subsequently swiped second and third base, and may have racked up a few more steals if the Nationals weren't so thoroughly in control so early in the game. The 25-year-old has a .270/.342/.413 slash line with 26 stolen bases in 33 attempts for the season, and has multi-hit efforts in four of the last five games.

    Crawford resumed baseball activities 10 days ago and recently spent time with High-A Clearwater taking batting practice and going through various hitting drills. He will likely require a batch of games at the minor-league level before returning, as he's been on the shelf for the past six weeks due to a fractured left hand.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Cubs' Javier Baez: Drives in two

    Baez went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Baez made his only hit of the game count, smacking a two-RBI double down the left-field line. It has been business as usual for him since the All-Star break, as he has managed seven RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base in 10 starts.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Smacks 14th home run

    Ahmed went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI on Sunday against the Padres.

    Ahmed took lefty Joey Lucchesi deep in the fourth inning for his 14th home run of the season. He has hit southpaws well all season, slashing .276/.309/.517 against them in 116 at-bats. So long as Jake Lamb (shoulder contusion) remains sidelined, Ahmed is likely to see regular playing time. However, with the acquisition of Eduardo Escobar, Ahmed will likely be pushed to the bench once the infield returns to health.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Notches 11th double

    Rojas went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Sunday in the win over the Nationals.

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Reaches base three times

    Arcia went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run against the Giants on Saturday.

    Arcia found himself in the starting lineup for the third consecutive game since he was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs and is now 3-for-12 over that span. He was also caught stealing Saturday, dropping him to 3-for-6 in stolen-base attempts this year. The Brewers got deeper around the infield with their acquisition of Mike Moustakas, and with Jonathan Villar (thumb) beginning a rehab assignment, it remains to be seen how long Arcia will continue to get regular playing time.
