Baez (thumb) is still having issues catching throws, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Baez played catch Tuesday, and the session evidently didn't go particularly well. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return from a broken thumb before the end of the regular season.

Turner went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Philadelphia in the first game of a doubleheader.

Turner keyed rallies in the first and sixth innings with leadoff hits, coming around to score both times. The 26-year-old has been hot over his last six games, going 11-for-28 (.393 average) with seven runs scored and five extra-base hits. For the season, Turner holds a .297/.355/.489 slash line with 93 runs scored and 34 stolen bases in 499 at-bats.

Baez (thumb) remains on the bench Tuesday against the Pirates.

Baez had been hoping to return for this game but evidently needs at least a bit more time. He'll take grounders and play catch Tuesday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports. Nico Hoerner starts at shortstop in his absence.

Adames went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a win over the Red Sox on Monday.

Adames launched the second of two fourth-inning homers for the Rays, with the shortstop's round tripper, which came with Kevin Kiermaier aboard, snapping a 4-4 tie. Adames is carrying a five-game hitting streak and has come alive at the plate in the second half overall, slashing .278/.340/.477 across 239 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-7 loss to the Cardinals.

Ahmed led off the ninth inning with his 19th homer, trying to ignite a rally to stave off elimination from postseason contention. Alas, the Diamondbacks could not complete the comeback, and their postseason hopes were dashed. Since his return from a finger injury four games ago, Ahmed is 5-for-15 with three extra-base hits.

Seager was named National League Player of the Week on Monday.

Seager slashed .500/.524/1.000 with two homers and seven RBI for the week to earn the honor. He has gone exactly 2-for-4 in each of his last six games, approaching the franchise record of nine consecutive multi-hit games set by Pee Wee Reese in 1949. Seager is in the midst of his best month at the plate, batting .300 with six homers and 21 RBI through 18 games in September.

Edman went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, three runs scored and a walk in the Cardinals' 9-7 victory over the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Edman continues to swing a hot bat, launching his 11th homer of the season in the first inning off Alex Young as part of his seventh multi-hit effort in his last 10 games. The hot streak brings the 24-year-old's slash line up to a solid .298/.340/.500 slash line over 302 at-bats.

Berti went 4-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in the Marlins' 8-4 win over the Mets on Monday.

It was an active day from atop the order for Berti, who posted his first four-hit game of the season and scored three of his team's eight runs. He hasn't provided much power this season, with just six long balls in 68 games, but he's managed respectable numbers in other categories, with a .275 batting average and a solid .353 on-base percentage.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, three runs scored and a walk in Monday's 7-2 win over Philadelphia.

Turner took Zach Eflin deep in the third inning for his 17th long ball of the season. The dynamic shortstop has gone 26-for-91 (.286 average) with 19 runs scored and 10 extra-base hits this month.

Bichette has yet to pass through concussion protocol and may be done for the year, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Bichette was lifted from Thursday's matchup with Baltimore after a pitch skimmed the brim of his helmet, and the rookie has yet to pass through concussion protocol. Manager Charlie Montoyo stated that Bichette is still aiming to return for the final few games of the season, though the skipper also acknowledged that the 21-year-old might be done for the year with only six contests remaining.
