DeJong went 3-for-4 with a run-scoring sacrifice fly, a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Mets on Saturday.

After a forgettable May at the plate, DeJong has seen the hits start to fall again in June. The shortstop has now reached safely in 10 of his last 11 games, and he has multi-hit efforts in two of his last three. The strong stretch has DeJong's season line back up to a solid .277/.364/.496.

Story (forehead) went 3-for-4 with a double, a pair of walks, two runs and an RBI in Saturday's 14-8 win over the Padres.

After leaving Friday's game early when he took a ground ball off his forehead, Story checked back into the lineup a day later and appeared no worse for the wear. He was one of six Rockies to finish with multiple hits on the day, boosting his season-long line at Coors Field to an otherworldly .336/.405/.657.

Crawford went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Brewers.

Crawford's three hits were good for a new season high. Unfortunately for the shortstop's fantasy owners, Stephen Vogt (two RBI) and Kevin Pillar (two RBI) cleared the bases ahead of Crawford in the batting order, leaving no runs to be driven in despite him racking up five total bases.. Still, it was a strong day at the plate for the veteran, who hadn't recorded an extra-base hit since June 2. Crawford is still slashing a mediocre .212/.286/.324 on the year.

Turner went 3-for-5 with a triple in a 10-3 loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Turner tripled to left field leading off the bottom of the first inning and scored Washington's first run. He is now 13-for-29 in his last seven games to raise his batting average 43 points. His slash line for the season is .298/.348/.550, and he has five homers and 10 stolen bases in 131 at-bats.

Ahmed went 4-for-5 with a double and a triple in a 10-3 win over Washington on Saturday.

Ahmed tripled in the second inning and doubled in the third inning to key rallies for Arizona. The 29-year-old continues to hit well and has 27 extra-base hits this year, leading to a .277/.329/.434 slash line in 249 at-bats.

Story (forehead) is starting at shortstop and batting second Saturday versus the Padres.

Story had a bad hop Friday ricochet off his wrist and hit him in the forehead, which forced him to leave the field with the athletic trainer. The 26-year-old won't miss any additional time and will look to continue his strong start to the series after going 4-for-10 with a double and a home run through the first two games.

DeJong went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Mets on Friday.

DeJong squared up for his second home run in as many nights, blasting a game-tying, 366-foot shot to left in the eighth inning. The shortstop has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, although only one of those contests was a multi-hit effort.

Ahmed went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Nationals.

Ahmed took Max Scherzer deep to lead off the fifth inning for his fifth home run in 2019. It snapped a 14-game drought without a homer for the shortstop, who hit 16 long balls last season.

Story had to exit Friday's game against the Padres after taking a grounder off his head, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Story took a bad hop off his wrist and forehead, and the Rockies' team trainer walked him off the field shortly after. He'll be considered day-to-day until further notice.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Mets in a tie game suspended by rain in the ninth inning Thursday.

DeJong squared up on a sixth-inning Jacob deGrom offering, sending it 411 feet into the center field bleachers for his third round tripper of June. The shortstop has already matched his homer total for all of May and has now hit safely in eight of his last nine games.
