Swanson went 1-for-6 with a three-run homer in Friday's win over the Brewers.

His sixth-inning blast was part of a nine-run inning for Atlanta, and it's a testament to how much offense the club generated in its 12-8 win that Swanson still ended up leaving seven runners on base on the night. The shortstop is slashing .244/.304/.456 with seven homers, four steals, 21 runs and 29 RBI.

Berti got the start in center field and hit leadoff during Friday's win over the Mets, going 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base.

The 29-year-old has already played shortstop and third base for the Marlins since his promotion, and now he's added center and left field to his resume in recent days. Berti's slashing just .232/.313/.321 with a homer, a steal, three RBI and 10 runs over 21 games, so even though he's seeing fairly regular playing time and getting looks at the top of the order, his fantasy value remains restricted to deep NL-only formats.

Mondesi went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, a walk and a run scored in Friday's loss to the Angels.

The speedster now has a league-high 17 stolen bases on the year and is batting .277 with five homers, 36 RBI and 25 runs scored.

Gordon went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Twins.

Gordon's 12th steal of the year came in the third inning after he got aboard with a single. He later scored in the fifth inning on an Edwin Encarnacion single. Gordon is hitting .301 with 16 runs scored and 19 RBI over 40 games this season.

Adrianza went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Mariners.

Adrianza opened the scoring with a solo home run in the third inning, and then knocked in first baseman C.J. Cron with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. The infielder started at third base and batted eighth in the contest. Adrianza is hitting .200 with three homers, six RBI and 10 runs scored over 65 at-bats this season.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a stolen base Friday night against the Cubs.

Turner led off the game with a single up the middle, and he picked up another single in the sixth inning. He would then swipe second base before getting stranded on a double play to end the frame. Friday marked Turner's fifth game of the 2019 season, as he's finally returned to health following six weeks on the injured list due to a broken right index finger.

Diaz left Friday's game against the Red Sox with left hamstring discomfort, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Diaz will be considered day-to-day until more information on his injury is revealed. He's scheduled to have an MRI on Saturday morning.

Diaz was lifted in the second inning of Friday's game against Boston with an apparent injury, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

The nature of the injury is unknown at this time, but Tony Kemp entered the contest in Diaz's place.

Herrera is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Herrera heads to the bench for the third time in the last four games despite slashing an improved .292/.393/.333 over his last nine games, though that only raises his season OPS to .498. Jon Berti will bat leadoff and start in center field Friday.

Story (knee) is starting at shortstop and batting second Friday at Philadelphia, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Story was removed from Wednesday's game with a left knee bruise after colliding with a teammate in the field, but his quick return to action confirms his initial comments that the issue was minor. The 26-year-old has a modest six-game hit streak in which he is 10-for-28 with one home run, two doubles, eight runs scored and five RBI.
