  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Hits for cycle

    Turner went 4-for-5 with the cycle, including a solo home run, two RBI and two runs in an 11-1 victory against the Rockies on Tuesday.

    This was Turner's seventh multi-hit game of July, including his third in his last five contests. Four hits also set a new season high for Turner, who hit his second homer of July. Turner is batting .286 with eight home runs, 25 RBI, 42 runs and 20 steals in 255 at-bats this season.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Starts late rally

    Crawford went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

    Crawford got the Giants' late rally going by driving in Pablo Sandoval in the eighth. The shortstop had been ice-cold for seemingly the entire first half of the season, but his bat has come alive in July (.315/.393/.593 with four homers and 16 RBI this month).

  • Orlando Arcia SS | MIN

    Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Retreats to bench

    Arcia isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

    Arcia went 0-for-4 during Monday night's loss to Cincinnati in the series opener, so he'll head to the bench for a day off. Tyler Saladino, who has now clubbed a grand slam in back-to-back games, will draw the start at shortstop and hit eighth.

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Still out Tuesday

    Rojas (shoulder) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

    Rojas was diagnosed with a right shoulder strain Saturday, and he hasn't taken the field since. He'll continue to be considered day-to-day until further notice. Yadiel Rivera draws the start at shortstop and will hit ninth in Rojas' absence.

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Sits again Monday

    Rojas (shoulder) remains out of the lineup Monday against the White Sox.

    Rojas left Saturday's game against the Dodgers and did not start Sunday's contest, though he did appear off the bench. Yadiel Rivera remains the starter at shortstop in his absence. Rojas is expected to test his shoulder prior to Monday's clash and is hopeful to start a game within the next few days, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Collects two hits in loss

    Ahmed went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Brewers.

    Ahmed has been on base regularly since the break, going 10-for-29 along with six walks. That's led to five RBI and five runs scored in nine games. He hasn't been a standout in any one aspect, like last season's 16 home runs, but he has been a modest contributor across the board from the shortstop position. Ahmed is slashing .269/.322/.428 with nine home runs, 44 RBI, six stolen bases and 51 runs scored.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Leading off Sunday

    Edman will lead off and start at second base Sunday against the Reds.

    Edman is starting for the sixth consecutive contest. He's hit well in that span, collecting at least one hit in four of the five games. Overall, he's managed a .275/.301/.513 line across 83 plate appearances this season.

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Removed from Saturday's contest

    Rojas was removed from Saturday's contest against the Dodgers with potential injuries to his hand or leg, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

    Rojas was banged up throughout the contest, with the first potential injury occurring to his hand after he reached down to the ground to steady himself while striking out in the first frame. In the fourth inning, he fouled a ball off his left leg before ultimately being removed in the fifth inning. There are no details as to the severity of either potential injury, and Yadiel Rivera replaced him at shortstop.
