Edman went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Thursday against the Brewers.

Edman provided the lone offensive production for the Cardinals when he took Jandel Gustave yard in the eighth inning. He has swung a hot bat to begin the season, as he has now collected at least one hit in each of his five starts. Edman also has two home runs, two RBI and three runs scored early on in the campaign.

Abrams went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 12-1 victory over the Braves on Thursday.

Abrams enjoyed a special moment when he slammed a long ball to left field in his first MLB home at-bat in the second inning. The rookie shortstop made an out in each of his other four plate appearances, however, lowering his average to .105 on the season. There's little doubt about Abrams' immense talent, but he's mostly struggled thus far in his first taste of the big leagues.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a home run, walk and three RBI in a 10-5 win Thursday over the Angels.

Seager hit a two-run home run in the fourth and a RBI single in the fifth. It was his first home run as a Ranger. The two-time All-Star signed a 10-year, $325 million contract in the offseason and has started strong with four multi-hit games in the first six contests of the season.

Baez (thumb) will not be in Friday's lineup against the Royals, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Baez was originally in the lineup Thursday, though he experienced discomfort in his thumb and was subsequently scratched. He'll focus on treatment Friday, with the potential for a Saturday return. Harold Castro started at shortstop and hit eighth in Baez's absence, and he is likely to occupy the same position Friday.

Strange-Gordon was scratched from the lineup due to an illness Thursday against Pittsburgh, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Strange-Gordon was set to start in center field, though he was instead forced to stay at the team hotel. Manager Davey Martinez declined further comment but did say the team would make a decision about a potential roster move Friday. If Strange-Gordon were to remain sidelined moving forward, Victor Robles would likely have a more secure grip on playing time while Lucius Fox may also shift up the depth chart.

Baez was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals due to right thumb soreness.

Baez was initially slated to return to action Thursday, but he'll ultimately be a late scratch for a second consecutive day. Harold Castro will start at shortstop and bat eighth, while Baez should be considered day-to-day.

Strange-Gordon was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates for an undisclosed reason.

Strange-Gordon was initially slated to start in center field, but Lane Thomas will now bat eighth as the starting center fielder. It's not yet clear why Strange-Gordon was removed from the lineup or whether he'll be available off the bench.

Baez (thumb) is starting Thursday's game against the Royals.

Baez was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against Boston due to right thumb soreness, but he'll be back in action following a one-game absence. In his first five appearances this year, he's gone 6-for-19 with a homer, a double, four RBI, a walk and four strikeouts.

Camargo will start at third base and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Marlins.

Camargo will find himself in the starting nine for the fourth time in five games, this time replacing the injured Jean Segura (hand). The Phillies are hopeful Segura will be back later in the weekend, but Camargo's ability to play the other three infield spots as well as the two corner-outfield spots could still help him pick up a few starts every week, especially while he's performing well at the plate. He's recorded five hits in 10 at-bats to begin the 2022 campaign.

Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-0 win over Minnesota.

Turner immediately used his wheels to help the Dodgers get off to a fast start, reaching on an infield single in the first inning, subsequently stealing second base and coming around to score on a Justin Turner single. The theft was his first of the campaign after he logged 32 steals last year. Trea is batting a modest .238 on the season, but he has collected exactly one hit (all singles) in each of his five contests to push his hitting streak to 24 games dating back to last season.
