Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

Turner singled and scored in the first inning on a Will Smith homer before going deep himself off Jose Ruiz in the top of the ninth. The long ball was his seventh of the season and second in his last three games. Turner has been one of the best hitters in baseball this season, batting .303 with seven homers, 45 RBI, 28 runs and 12 stolen bases over 218 at-bats in 56 contests.

Swanson won his arbitration case against Atlanta on Wednesday and will earn $10 million in 2022, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Swanson is in his final year of arbitration eligibility before hitting free agency, and he'll make $4 million more compared to his 2021 salary. The 28-year-old is enjoying a strong contract year with a .279/.348/.428 slash line, six home runs, 26 RBI and nine stolen bases through 56 games.

Crawford (quadriceps) was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford was in the lineup for Wednesday's contest despite leaving Tuesday's game with right quadriceps tightness, and he was scratched after going through a pre-game workout. Wilmer Flores will enter the lineup in his place while Donovan Walton shifts to shortstop.

Bogaerts (shoulder) is starting at shortstop and batting cleanup Wednesday against the Angels, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

The 29-year-old was pulled from Tuesday's contest with left shoulder tightness, but it's apparently not a serious concern since he's back in the lineup Wednesday. Bogaerts is off to a hot start in June with a .945 OPS, one home run, two doubles, four RBI and six runs through six games.

Velazquez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Boston.

Velazquez is hitless in his past 19 at-bats and will head to the bench Wednesday. Tyler Wade will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Crawford (quadriceps) is starting at shortstop and batting fifth Wednesday against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Crawford exited Tuesday's contest with tightness in his right quadriceps, but it doesn't appear to be a serious concern. The 35-year-old has gone 3-for-14 with a home run, a triple, a double, and five RBI through five games in June.

The Diamondbacks transferred Ahmed to the 60-day injured list Wednesday while he contends with right shoulder inflammation.

Ahmed was initially deactivated May 17 without the Diamondbacks applying an injury designation, an indication that he was out for COVID-19-related protocols. He resumed baseball activities just over a week later, but he was recently shut down after experiencing renewed discomfort in his shoulder. Ahmed opened the season on the IL on account of a shoulder problem and dealt with the issue late in 2021, so the Diamondbacks may have decided a prolonged shutdown was the best option to allow the inflammation to subside. Geraldo Perdomo now appears poised to serve as Arizona's everyday shortstop through the All-Star break while Ahmed is on the shelf.

The Brewers optioned Reyes to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Reyes went 4-for-14 with a walk and a run scored in his four games with the Brewers following his call-up from Triple-A Nashville on Friday. He'll end up moving back to the minors now that everyday shortstop Willy Adames (ankle) has been cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.

The Brewers reinstated Adames (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. He'll start at shortstop and bat second in the Brewers' game against the Phillies.

Milwaukee optioned utility man Pablo Reyes to Triple-A Nashville to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for Adames, who had been sidelined since mid-May with a left high-ankle sprain. Adames checked out fine following a recent three-game rehab assignment at Nashville, so he'll be in the clear to reclaim an everyday role at shortstop. Luis Urias is expected to slide back over to third base as a result, while Jace Peterson will transition into a utility gig.

Correa (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday.

Correa tested positive for COVID-19 in late May, but he worked out at Target Field on Tuesday and will serve as the designated hitter while batting second in his return to the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees. Over his 11 games last month between IL stints, the 27-year-old hit .326 with a home run, four doubles, five runs and five RBI.
