Gordon went 3-for-4 with a triple, an RBI, two stolen bases and three runs scored during Wednesday's win over Washington.

Gordon now sports a 13-game hitting streak and has eight stolen bases during that span. The speedster is up to a .300 batting average and .344 on-base percentage for the campaign, and as long as he's finding his way to first base, he's going to pile up runs and stolen bases in bunches. Considering his current form, Gordon has a legitimate chance to take over the league lead in stolen bases in the coming weeks.

Turner (wrist) will head to the Nationals' spring training facility in West Palm Beach, Fla. later this week to continue his rehab, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports.

Turner has already begun to do some light throwing and may soon start swinging a bat again with his fractured right wrist starting to show some improvement. The Nationals don't expect it to be long before Turner takes part in simulated games, followed by a rehab assignment soon after that. An exact return date hasn't been fleshed out for Turner, but with the news regarding his recovery sounding positive thus far, he's probably worth holding on to in most formats.

Baez went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Baez proved that you only need to connect on one pitch to be productive sometimes. He's hitting just .188 over his last 10 games but he has three home runs and seven RBI during that stretch, making the youngster a fairly boom-or-bust fantasy option at the moment.

Camargo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

His eighth-inning blast, Camargo's third homer of the year, accounted for the Braves' only offense on the night. The 23-year-old has the shortstop position to himself right now while Dansby Swanson tries to get right down at Triple-A, but Camargo's slashing just .246/.269/.431 since the All-Star break and still profiles as a utility player in the long term.

General manager Mike Hazen confirmed Owings (finger) will undergo surgery Monday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. He's expected to miss around eight weeks.

Owings was placed on the 60-day disabled list earlier Monday after an X-ray revealed a fracture in his middle finger. He's expected to miss most (if not all) of the remainder of the season, and this doesn't appear to change his return timetable, as the Diamondbacks are still hopeful he'll be able to return for a potential playoff run.

Ahmed (hand) was transferredto the 60-day disabled list Monday.

Ahmed was shifted to the 60-day DL to clear room on the roster for Adam Rosales, who was acquired from the A's on Monday. He won't be eligible to return from the disabled list until Aug. 28, and it remains unclear whether he'll be ready by then.

Owings (finger) was placed on the 60-day disabled list Monday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Owings injured his finger Sunday after getting hit by a pitch, and after an X-ray revealed a fracture, he'll be out for most (if not all) of the remainder of the regular season -- although a return for a potential playoff run hasn't been ruled out yet. In the meantime, Ketel Marte (personal), Daniel Descalso, Brandon Drury and Adam Rosales should combine to fill the void in Arizona's middle infield.

Story is not in the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Nationals.

Although he's been improving at the plate lately, Story struggled in the matinee game Sunday, fanning three times in a hitless performance. He'll head to the bench for the nightcap, allowing Pat Valaika to log a start at shortstop.

Owings was diagnosed with a fractured right middle finger Sunday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

This is certainly one of the worst outcomes that could have come back following X-rays on the infielder's hand. Prior to being removed from Sunday's contest, Owings was piecing together a strong season, producing career bests in OPS (.743), home runs (12) and RBI (51) despite a recent slump. No timetable for his return has been released, although the Diamondbacks admitted that he'll be out for a while. Look for Brandon Drury and Daniel Descalso to pick up extra innings at the keystone to fill the void.

Cordoba is out of the lineup Sunday against the Pirates, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Cordoba appeared poised to take over as the Padres' regular shortstop after Erick Aybar was placed on the disabled list July 22 with a fractured foot, but with the rookie recording just one hit in 16 at-bats since that time, he may have fallen behind Dusty Coleman on the depth chart. Coleman will pick up his third start in four games Sunday.
