Atlanta optioned Arcia to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Arcia started only one game and went 1-for-11 overall in his latest stint on the big-league roster. He could return to Atlanta at some point before the regular season ends, but he's highly unlikely to get more than a couple starts.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Reds.

Turner's speed was on full display in the win, as he collected a pair of infield singles and swiped his NL-leading 30th bag of the campaign. During his current six-game hitting streak, Turner is batting .333 (8-for-24) with a home run, three RBI, four runs and four stolen bases.

Ahmed is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Ahmed sits for consecutive games after hitting .216 with four extra-base hits and three RBI in his last 10 games. Josh Rojas moves to shortstop for Sunday's series finale while Ketel Marte plays second base.

Reyes went 2-for-4 with a double, a run and a stolen base in Saturday's victory over the Cubs.

Reyes started Saturday for just the second time all month, but he made the most of the opportunity, tallying his sixth extra-base hit and third steal of the season while also generating a highlight with a Houdini-like slide into home that gave the Brewers a two-run lead in the eighth inning. With the Brewers clinching a playoff spot, Reyes could get more starts down the stretch to help keep the regulars fresh.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas gets the afternoon off after going 1-for-4 on Saturday and hitting a lowly .163 in his last 10 games. Jazz Chisholm shifts to shortstop for the series finale while Joe Panik gets a start at second base.

Mondesi went 2-for-5 with a double, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in an 8-1 win over Seattle on Saturday.

Mondesi twice used his speed to help the Royals add on to their run total. In the first inning, he notched an infield single that allowed Andrew Benintendi to cross the plate. In the third, he doubled, stole third and came around to score on a Michael Taylor double. Mondesi's theft was his third in four games, pushing his total to 10 on the campaign. The speedster has notched double-digit steals in each of the past four seasons.

Barrero (undisclosed) is playing center field and batting seventh in Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The 23-year-old hasn't played since Tuesday, but he returns to make his first career start in the outfield. Barrero has hit .190 in 21 at-bats this season and draws a tough matchup in Clayton Kershaw on Sunday.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Orioles.

Bogaerts singled home a run in the fifth inning to give the Red Sox a 4-3 lead, then he drilled a three-run homer to left-center field in the sixth to extend the cushion to 8-3. It was the first three-hit performance in over a month for Bogaerts, who is now riding a five-game hitting streak during which he's hitting .391 (9-23).

Chang went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and a pair of runs scored in an 11-3 win over the Yankees on Saturday.

Chang entered the afternoon stuck in a 1-for-17 skid over his last six games but quickly put a stop to that with a solo homer in the second inning to open the scoring. He drove in two more runs with a fifth-inning double. Chang has followed up a strong August (.323/.364/.871 in 10 games) by hitting just .215 with a .663 OPS since the start of September.

Bichette went 3-for-4 with three singles, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

Bichette slapped three singles off Minnesota on Saturday, none bigger than his base knock in the seventh that cashed in two insurance runs. With the trio of hits, the 23-year-old is now hitting .353 in September with four home runs and 14 RBI.
