Baez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Marlins.

Baez has now homered in consecutive games and he hit the cover off the ball the entire three-game series against the Marlins, going a combined 8-for-13 with the two home runs, four RBI and six runs scored. The slugging infielder is probably sad to be leaving Miami, but Baez has shown the ability to stay hot for long stretches, so enjoy this run while he's on it.

Turner has been doing whatever baseball activities he can without using his broken index finger, but he remains without a clear timetable, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

Turner reportedly had a rough 4-to-6-week timetable after breaking his finger on a bunt attempt on April 2, but the Nationals have yet to confirm even a rough target return date. Wilmer Difo has started every game at shortstop in his absence.

Seager is not starting Wednesday against the Reds.

Seager sits for the third time this season. He snapped a three-game hitless streak with a three-hit performance in Tuesday's contest. Chris Taylor starts at shortstop in his absence.

Camargo went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

The utility player has gotten the start in four of the last five games -- Tuesday he got the nod in right field and hit fifth -- and responded by going 6-for-15 with three doubles, a homer and seven RBI. Camargo has already seen action at four different positions (third base, shortstop, and both outfield corners) this season, and his flexibility affords him more playing time than a typical bench option, but his fantasy utility is still limited to deeper mixed and NL-only formats.

Story went 2-for-4 with a walk, one run scored and three stolen bases Tuesday against the Padres.

Story was aggressive on the basepaths against Padres starter Nick Margevicius, swiping second base after his first-inning single and then stealing both second and third in the third frame. Though he hasn't homered since April 8, Story appears to once again be a strong bet to contribute both homers and steals, having racked up four of each to this point in the season.

Baez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Marlins.

Baez has enjoyed his time in Miami, as he's now 6-for-9 in the first two games of the series with the home run, two RBI and four runs scored. That's also three straight three-hit games for the 26-year-old, who is once again producing at an elite level after an MVP-caliber 2018 campaign.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Brewers on Monday.

The 25-year-old hadn't gone deep since April 5, but he's been thriving at the plate in other ways. DeJong already owns a 12-game hitting streak this season, and he's gotten a new one started by lacing a double and Monday's homer over the last two games.

Baez went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs and an RBI to help the Cubs to a 7-2 win over the Marlins on Monday.

Baez had just one hit in his last 12 at-bats coming into the contest, but he broke out of the brief skid with this three-hit effort. The 26-year-old is now slashing .288/.319/.545 with four homers and 13 RBI through 66 at-bats.

Mauricio went 4-for-6 with a run scored and an RBI for Low-A Columbia on Sunday.

After an 0-for-4 performance Opening Day, Mauricio has gone on a tear, hitting safely in eight straight games and pushing his slash line to .368/.400/.395. The 18-year-old does have a worrying 1:10 BB:K and has gone 0-for-2 in stolen base attempts, but it's not a surprise that older competition has been able to find some flaws in his game. Mauricio's upside is elite if he puts everything together, and the Mets will be patient with the organization's No. 4 fantasy prospect.

Swanson is out of the lineup for Sunday night's game against the Mets, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Swanson started the first 14 games of the year but heads to the bench after going 1-for-4 with three RBI and a walk Saturday. Johan Camargo will start at shortstop and bat sixth in his stead for the series finale.
