Turner went 2-for-6 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's rout of the A's.

That's now five multi-hit performances in the last seven games for Turner, who has shaken off his early-season slump with a .348/.362/.478 slash line, a homer, four RBI, seven runs and five steals over his last 10 games.

Owings is not in Saturday's lineup against the Marlins.

He has cooled off a little at the plate, as was expected. Owings has a .205/.265/.341 slash line with one home run over his last 12 games (44 at-bats). Nick Ahmed, who has a 1.174 OPS over his last 23 at-bats, will start at shortstop and hit seventh, as it seems the Diamondbacks are valuing the recent small samples of the two shortstops.

Cordoba went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, a run and two RBI in Friday's 8-5 win over the Rockies.

Since becoming a regular member of the starting lineup towards the end of May, Cordoba has been locked in at the plate, hitting .357 over his last 11 games. He has only three RBI and three runs to show for it however, including Friday's production, and even in the leadoff spot his fantasy value is limited by the weak Padres offense behind him.

Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

He has gone back and forth between Triple-A and the big leagues this season -- a trend that is likely to continue, as he simply serves as bench depth when he is up with Atlanta. He has a .311/.353/.500 slash line with four home runs in 134 plate appearances at Triple-A.

Ahmed went 3-for-4 with a triple and two RBI in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Marlins.

After hitting a go-ahead homer in Wednesday's 14-inning win over the Pirates, Ahmed remained hot at the dish in the series opener Thursday, turning in his fourth multi-hit performance in five starts. No hit was more clutch than Ahmed's two-run single in the eighth inning, which gave the Diamondbacks the lead for the first time in the game. Ahmed was starting at shortstop with Chris Owings receiving the day off, but because Owings is capable of playing second base or the corner outfield, manager Torey Lovullo can still find a way to keep Ahmed's bat in the lineup so long as he continues to sizzle.

Baez went 1-for-3 with a RBI in a 2-1 loss to the Padres on Wednesday.

Chicago's offense as a whole has been dormant lately, which limits the potential of players like Baez near the bottom of the order. The Cubs have too many good hitters to stay sluggish for long, though, so the runs and RBI should start coming for Baez and others.

Ahmed went 2-for-6 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Pirates in 14 innings.

The 11th-inning home run was Ahmed's fifth of the season, exceeding his output from 2016 in nearly 200 fewer plate appearances. The Diamondbacks still value Ahmed for his reliable glove in the middle infield first and foremost, but the former fantasy afterthought has become a viable depth option in NL-only and deeper mixed leagues. Though Ahmed won't enjoy a full-time role while the Diamondbacks' regulars are relatively healthy, he should continue to receive three or four starts per week.

Owings went 2-for-6 with an RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Pirates in 14 innings.

Owings played the hero in a game that lasted four hours and 40 minutes, driving in the go-ahead run in the top of the 14th on base hit. With the Diamondbacks back on the schedule Thursday in Miami, it wouldn't be a surprise if manager Torey Lovullo decided to rest some of his key regulars following the marathon victory, but since Owings just had a day off Sunday, he might not require a breather.

DeJong will start at second base and bat seventh Wednesday against the Dodgers.

DeJong has kicked off his major-league career with three hits in eight at-bats, and it appears manager Mike Matheny is content to keep the youngster in the lineup while his bat remains hot and Kolten Wong (elbow) remains on the disabled list. He'll pick up his third straight start at the keystone Wednesday.

D'Arnaud is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs.

D'Arnaud has emerged as the preferred option at shortstop for San Diego, but after a pair of hitless showings, he's now just 3-for-16 with the Friars. Erick Aybar will take over at shortstop for the day.
