Turner went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a 6-2 win over the Mets during the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

The shortstop went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored during a 5-1 loss in the matinee, and Turner kept right on rolling in the nightcap, taking Sean Reid-Foley deep in the third inning for his 11th homer of the year. He's batting .338 (25-for-74) through 18 games in June, but his long ball Saturday was his first since May 17.

Lindor went 3-for-5 with a pair of two-run homers and an RBI single in the 5-1 win over the Nationals in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader.

Lindor broke out of a 0-for-11 stretch in a big way during the first half of the twin bill, knocking in each of the club's five runs. He took Joe Ross deep with a runner on in the first and fifth innings, while also mixing in a third-inning RBI single. It marked the shortstop's first multi-homer performance in a Mets uniform and just his second three-hit game on the campaign.

Abrams went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a stolen base, four RBI and two runs for Double-A San Antonio on Friday.

Abrams' four-hit effort was the second of his professional career and his first this season. The highly touted prospect appears over the ankle injury that sidelined him in late May, as he has swiped seven bases while slashing .333/.385/.404 in 14 games during June. Only four of his 19 hits this month have gone for extra bases, however, so Friday's two-double performance is a promising development.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Rays on Friday.

The hot-hitting shortstop's multi-hit effort was already his sixth of June and pushed his slash line for the month to .382/.436/.588 across 78 plate appearances. Crawford has shown a nice knack for timely hitting during that stretch, garnering nine RBI over the 17-game sample.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over Philadelphia.

Crawford doubled and scored in the second inning, then reached on an error and stole second in the eighth. The shortstop has hit a dry spell at the plate, going 3-for-21 (.143) across his last seven games. Two of those hits went for extra bases (one home run, one double). Overall, he's slashing .249/.336/.528 with 15 home runs, 44 RBI, 38 runs scored and five stolen bases across 226 plate appearances.

Mondesi isn't starting Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

Mondesi has homered in each of his last two games, including a mammoth blast in the bottom of the third inning Friday that traveled 464 feet. Nicky Lopez will take over at shortstop and bat ninth.

Edman is 1-for-8 with a double, a run and two strikeouts over his first pair of contests following a two-game absence due to torso tightness.

The talented player may still be somewhat limited in his swing, although the two-bagger he laced off Atlanta's Max Fried on Friday, one of only three hits for the Cardinals, was encouraging. It bears mentioning Edman's struggles predate the injury as well, as he was only hitting .214 (12-for-56) with 12 strikeouts in the 12 contests before being sidelined.

Mondesi went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 5-3 win over Boston.

Mondesi's second blast in as many games gave Kansas City a 3-1 lead in the third inning. The shortstop has four homers, nine RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base in just nine games this season. While the power shouldn't be expected to last, Mondesi should be able to provide a speed boost as long as he doesn't aggravate a hamstring strain that cost him two weeks earlier this month.

Rojas (finger) went 0-for-5 in Friday's 10-2 win over the Cubs.

Rojas missed three weeks with a dislocated and fractured left index finger. He's posted a solid .267/.345/.420 slash line across 197 plate appearances this year. Rojas will likely resume an everyday role at shortstop, pushing Jazz Chisholm over to second base while Jon Berti and Deven Marrero compete for playing time at the hot corner.

Berti went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-2 win over the Cubs.

Berti padded Miami's lead with his blast off Chicago starter Zach Davies in the sixth inning. The 31-year-old has posted multiple hits in three of the last five games, going 7-for-16 (.438) in that span. The infielder has an uninspiring .222/.328/.333 slash line with three homers, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and four stolen bases in eight attempts through 61 games. He's enjoyed an everyday role lately, drawing time at second base and third base.
