Ahmed is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Ahmed totaled just two hits over his last five games, so manager Torey Lovullo decided to go in a different direction Monday. Ketel Marte will slide over and cover shortstop in Ahmed's place.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a triple, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Washington's 8-6 victory over the Phillies on Sunday.

Turner had gone eight games without swiping a bag coming into this game, but he got back on the board in that department with his 21st steal of the season in Sunday's contest. The steals highlight Turner's biggest fantasy appeal, with his eight home runs and .405 slugging percentage both representing unspectacular numbers. He's getting on base at a solid clip, with his .348 on-base percentage through 304 at-bats falling exactly in line with his career number. As long as he continues to do that, he'll continue to offer reliable production on the basepaths.

Rojas (hand) will have a CT scan Monday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

He was scratched from Saturday's lineup with a bruised left hand and wasn't in Sunday's lineup, but Rojas appeared in the ninth inning as a defensive replacement. The fact he was healthy enough to enter the game but still has tests on tap is a bit curious, but we should get a better idea how serious the injury is on Monday.

Story went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Marlins.

Story moved back in to a tie with Reds infielder Eugenio Suarez for the NL lead with 58 RBI Sunday. The stolen base was his 10th of the year, his first time reaching double digits in that category. The 25-year-old shortstop owns a solid .264/.332/.518 slash line after batting .239 and leading the NL with 191 strikeouts in 2017.

Baez is starting at second base and batting third in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Baez got Saturday off as a regular rest day, but he's back in there Sunday. The 25-year-old will also slide into the No. 3 slot in the lineup for just the fifth time this season with Kris Bryant (shoulder) out of the lineup for the second straight day. Baez enters Sunday slashing .265/.308/.527 with 14 home runs and a team-high 49 RBI.

Swanson gets a day off Sunday against the Orioles.

It's Swanson's first time out of the lineup since returning from the disabled list over a month ago. The shortstop is hitting just .195 over that 32-game stretch. Johan Camargo will start at shortstop Sunday.

Crawford went 3-for-3 with a walk, two doubles, a triple, a run scored and three RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Padres.

His two-run double in the sixth inning broke open a 1-1 tie and gave the Giants a lead they wouldn't relinquish, but Crawford was locked in all afternoon. The performance broke an 0-for-18 mini-slump over his prior five games, bumping the 31-year-old's slash line back up to a robust .313/.368/.498.

Rojas was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to a bruised left hand, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas should be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's series finale while he recovers from this minor injury. Across 74 games this year, he's hitting .248/.311/.358 with seven home runs, 28 RBI and three stolen bases.

Camargo is not in the lineup against Baltimore on Saturday.

Camargo will be stationed on the bench after going 2-for-6 with a double and one RBI during Friday's loss. In his absence, Ryan Flaherty will man the hot corner.

Rojas was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

At this point, there has been no reason given for Rojas's removal, but the Marlins will likely clear things up within the next couple hours. In his place, Derek Dietrich entered the lineup in the outfield and Brian Anderson shifted to an infield role.
