Reyes went 2-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Brewers.

Making his third start in the last five games, Reyes launched the first big-league homer of his career, pushing his slash line to .375/.474/.625 in seven games since his promotion. While he's not a big-name prospect for the Pirates, the 25-year-old appears to be holding down the short side of a platoon with Adam Frazier in left field, giving him some NL-only fantasy appeal for the stretch run.

Arcia is out of the lineup against Pittsburgh on Friday.

Arcia wasn't listed in manager Craig Counsell's starting nine for the fifth time in the past seven games, as Jonathan Schoop once again gets the nod at shortstop. Dating back to Aug. 26, Arcia has gone just 7-for-33 (.212 average) with two RBI in his last 16 contests.

Camargo (groin) is not in the lineup versus the Nationals on Friday.

Camargo will remain on the bench for a second consecutive day after leaving Tuesday's contest with left groin tightness. He benefited from Thursday's scheduled off day but needs a little more time being returning to the starting nine. In his place, Charlie Culberson will handle the hot corner and bat fifth.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Rojas provided the only offense for the Marlins in the losing effort with a two-run shot in the third inning, his 11th home run of the season. Over 480 plate appearances in 2018, he has a .249/.295/.348 slash line with 39 runs, 50 RBI and six steals.

Baez went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 4-3 win over Washington.

Baez torched Washington pitching all afternoon, getting the Cubs on the board with an RBI double in the fourth inning and a solo home run in the seventh. In the 10th and final frame, he drove in the winning run with a bunt single. The 25-year-old infielder is up to 31 homers, 103 RBI and a .295 average in his incredible 2018 campaign.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double, a run and one RBI in Thursday's 10-3 loss to the Rockies.

Ahmed doubled in a run and later scored in the seventh inning, but Arizona couldn't get much else going at the plate. The 28-year-old now has 67 RBI and a .731 OPS in 513 plate appearances this season.

Story went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 10-3 routing of Arizona.

Story is absolutely raking down the stretch, already with seven home runs and 17 RBI in the month of September. On the year, the 25-year-old shortstop has 33 homers, 102 RBI and a .906 OPS. It will be hard for voters to ignore his name in the NL MVP conversation.

Arcia is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs.

Arcia will receive a breather after starting the first two games of this series. In his absence, Hernan Perez will start at shortstop and hit sixth.

DeJong is out of the lineup against Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

DeJong will receive a breather following 15 straight games in the starting lineup. In his place, Yairo Munoz will start at shortstop and bat fifth. Look for DeJong to return to the lineup for Thursday's series opener versus the Dodgers.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with the Giants' lone RBI in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Atlanta.

Crawford was dealing with a balky knee last week, but he has since started three consecutive contests. The 31-year-old has taken a step back in the RBI category (51 through 135 games), but he should get a last-ditch opportunity to pad his total while batting cleanup for a Giants lineup that is without several of its Opening Day starters.
