Correa went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-0 win over Kansas City.

One day after his 16-game hit streak was snapped. Correa began a new one with his ninth homer of the season. He's homered in three of the previous four games. The shortstop, who was saddled with a back injury in 2018, is healthy again and barreling balls at 13.5 percent, which is leading to a career-best hard-hit rate of 47.6 percent, per Statcast.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and a pair of runs scored in Tuesday's 14-4 win over Colorado.

The Giants' current road trip to Cincinnati and now Colorado has been a blessing for Crawford, who is currently batting .389 (7-for-18) with a homer, five RBI and five runs through the first five games of this seven-game road set. The shortstop's overall numbers remain poor (.221/.296/.270), but we have seen him go on extended hot streaks (i.e. the first half last season).

Adames went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run in a win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Adames' numbers are back to trending in the right direction after a brief late-April slide. The young shortstop is 7-for-17 with a double, two RBI, two walks and four runs over the first five games he's suited up for in May, raising his average 34 points to .234 in the process. However, the 23-year-old's .299 on-base percentage still has plenty of room for improvement, with the current 49-point disparity between that number and last year's .348 figure at least partly tied to Adames' reduced patience at the dish.

Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Orioles.

Bogaerts, whose last three three hits have left the park, has seven homers and leads the Red Sox with 16 extra-base hits in 2019.

Anderson went 0-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Indians.

Anderson's explosive April has given way to a cooling-off period to start May. The shortstop is batting .179 (5-for-28) since the calendar flipped. His 138 wRC+ is a good place to be in early May while his 5.1 barrel percentage and 87.8 mph average exit velocity are up compared to last season. However, an unsustainable .380 BABIP suggests further cooling for Anderson, who has shown some maturation but still has improvements to make in terms of plate discipline.

Gordon went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in a 5-4 loss to the Yankees on Tuesday.

The 31-year-old went deep Monday night against the Yankees, but Tuesday, he was back to his usual self, swiping bases instead of launching bombs. Gordon is 10-for-11 in stolen-base attempts this year. He's also batting .301 with three home runs, 18 RBI and 13 runs. Those power numbers don't sound like much, but Gordon has never hit more than four homers in any year, and the 18 RBI already have him halfway to his total in the category (36) from last season.

Marcano went 14-for-26 for Low-A Fort Wayne last week, Bill Center of Padres.com reports.

The 19-year-old was named the Player of the Week in the Midwest League for his efforts, per Center, and is now hitting .308 with an impressive .383 on-base percentage in 27 games for Fort Wayne. If there's a knock on his stat line so far, it'd be his lack of power as he's hit just one homer with a .393 slugging percentage. He's still flashing potential at the dish in his brief career thus far, as he dominated in the Arizona League as an 18-year-old last year, with a .395/.497/.444 slash line while also swiping 10 bases.

Turner (finger) hit off a tee Sunday and fielded groundballs at shortstop Tuesday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Turner resumed swinging Sunday for the first time since undergoing surgery to repair his fractured right index finger, so this is a sizable step forward for the 25-year-old. The next step in his hitting progression figures to be soft-toss and then batting practice.

Seager isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Braves.

Seager is 4-for-18 at the dish through the first five games of May, and he'll get the day off Tuesday against a lefty (Max Fried). Chris Taylor will get the start at shortstop and hit fifth.

Herrera is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Cubs, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Herrera started three straight contests prior to Sunday, but he'll now head to the bench for the third consecutive matchup. Isaac Galloway draws another start in center field and will bat eighth.
