Ahmed is not in the lineup Saturday against Atlanta.

Ahmed sits after starting 10 of the last 11 games. Ketel Marte will slide over to shortstop in his absence, with Daniel Descalso starting at second base.

Baez is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Nationals.

Baez will receive a breather following eight straight starts as Addison Russell gets the nod at shortstop for the matinee. Look for Baez to rejoin the starting lineup in Game 2.

Adrianza went 3-for-4 with three RBI in the Twins' 10-6 win over the Royals on Friday.

Adrianza turned in a productive day at the dish while drawing his third straight start at third base in place of the injured Miguel Sano (lower leg). The Twins have cleared Sano of any structural damage to his leg, but it's uncertain when he'll be ready to return to the lineup. Adrianza should see regular at-bats until Sano is cleared to play again, but the 25-year-old's fantasy utility is weighted down by his lack of consistent impact in the power and speed departments.

Camargo went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, two runs and two RBI in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Hitting from the second spot in the order for the first time since Aug. 30, Camargo was a bright spot for Atlanta's offense. He now has home runs in back-to-back games to give him 17 on the season, to go along with a .280 batting average and 68 RBI.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Astros.

It was the shortstop's 20th home run of the year, but his first since a two-homer game Aug. 22. The RBI was his 90th, establishing a new career benchmark. Bogaerts now sports a .281/.353/.515 slash line on the season, and he's one HR shy of the career high he set in 2016.

Crawford is out of the lineup for the second straight game Friday against the Brewers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford missed time last week with a sore knee, which could be the cause of this week's absence as well. It's unusual for a player of his caliber to miss two straight without some sort of injury, especially with the games coming on either side of Thursday's off day. Alen Hanson will get another start at shortstop.

Arcia is out of Friday's starting lineup against San Francisco.

After going 4-for-11 with two doubles over Milwaukee's three-game series against the Cubs, Arcia will get the day off. Hernan Perez draws the start at shortstop and is slated to bat seventh in his stead.

Camargo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Thursday against the Diamondbacks.

Camargo took Zack Greinke deep in the sixth inning, his 16th home run of the season. While he has cooled off a bit since ending August by recording multiple hits in three consecutive games, Camargo has managed at least one hit in four of six games in September. The 24-year-old has built on a solid 2017 debut by hitting .276/.358/.460 across 399 at-bats.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Thursday against the Braves.

Ahmed was a main source of offense for the Diamondbacks on Thursday, driving a three-RBI double in the fourth inning. The double marked only his third extra-base hit since August 14, though they have all come in the past five games. However, he continues to log regular at-bats thanks to his strong defense, making him a viable option in deeper leagues.

Lindor went 4-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Lindor took Sam Gaviglio deep twice, bringing his total on the season to 33. After failing to homer in 22 consecutive games, Lindor now has four home runs in his past four games. While he has already set career-best marks in runs scored (117) and stolen bases (22), he is also likely to set new benchmarks in home runs, RBI and slugging percentage before the season comes to a close.
