Turner went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's win over the Pirates.

It was his fourth multi-hit performance in the last week, and Turner now boasts a .284/.381/.379 slash line through 29 games. He only has one homer and seven RBI over that span, but 14 runs and 12 steals in 12 attempts. The 24-year-old's power numbers are down, but his current 39.1 percent hard-hit rate would be a career high, so don't be surprised if the home runs come over the summer.

Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a grand slam in Monday's 10-6 win over Kansas City.

Bogaerts made things a little less tense for Boston with his third-inning slam, which erased an early deficit. Nothing is slowing down the shortstop -- not his nearly three-week stay on the disabled nor Sunday's day off. He's 7-for-13 with a double, a home run and six RBI in the three games since being activated.

Lindor went 3-for-5 with two runs and an RBI as the Indians topped the Rangers 7-5 on Monday.

Lindor's .245/.331/.409 slash line is still below the standard of last year's 33-homer campaign that saw him log an .842 OPS but there have been signs of encouragement lately as this was his second three-hit effort in his last four games. The numbers aren't there yet but it's still early and Lindor is one of the most talented offensive shortstops in the league, so hopefully his recent performances are a sign he's ready to put the tough opening month of the season behind him as the calendar turns to May.

Seager (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery Friday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

After undergoing Tommy John surgery, Seager will begin a lengthy rehab process. Per Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times, the Dodgers are hoping that Seager will be in full health by Opening Day for the 2019 season. With Seager out for the rest of the year, Chris Taylor will move from center field to shortstop.

Seager was diagnosed with a sprained UCL on Monday. He will undergo Tommy John surgery and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.

This is an absolutely brutal blow for the Dodgers and Seager, who was placed on the disabled list Monday as a result of the injury. He dealt with an elbow injury towards the end of last season but ultimately opted to forgo offseason surgery. The issue stuck with him at the start of spring training, but it was thought to be behind him heading into the season before the ailment ultimately proved bothersome enough to require the season-ending procedure. Seager was hitting .267/.348/.396 with two homers through 26 games before his season came to an end. Chris Taylor is starting at shortstop in his stead Monday and will likely stick there for the remainder of the season.

Crawford is out of the lineup Monday against the Padres.

Crawford's tough stretch at the plate continued Sunday as he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout. Over the last seven games he's gone 3-for-24 (.125) with six strikeouts. He'll get the night off while Kelby Tomlinson starts at shortstop.

Seager is not on the lineup card for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Chris Taylor is starting at shortstop in his place, while Breyvic Valera is with the team. There has been no indication that Seager is dealing with any type of injury at this point, but his absence from the lineup card hints at a roster move, which could ultimately mean a DL stint for the shortstop.

Mondesi (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Monday.

Mondesi has just a .181/.226/.271 line in 209 major-league plate appearances, but he's just 22 years old and was probably called up too soon. His .305/.338/.538 line in 418 plate appearances at the Triple-A level suggests that he could eventually be a competent major leaguer, and he'll help out fantasy owners with a fair amount of steals. When exactly his next opportunity will come is not clear, though.

Gordon went 4-for-5 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Indians on Sunday.

Gordon wreaked havoc out of the leadoff spot all afternoon, an increasingly common occurrence during what has been an excellent start to his first Mariners season. The 30-year-old went 6-for-9 with a double, Sunday's RBI, a stolen base and four runs over the final two games of the series against the Indians, and his season line now sits at .309/.339/.400 over 118 plate appearances. Even though Gordon's BABIP is a bloated .371, it's worth noting that he posted figures of .383 and .354 in that category with the Marlins in 2015 and 2017 while logging well over 600 plate appearances in both seasons.

Ahmed went 3-for-4 with a double in the Diamondbacks' 3-1 loss to the Nationals on Sunday.

With the lefty-hitting Jarrod Dyson receiving the day off against Nationals southpaw Gio Gonzalez, Ahmed moved into the two hole and was Arizona's most productive batter Sunday, finishing with his third three-hit performance of the season. Ahmed is expected to plummet to the bottom half of the order Monday with the Dodgers bringing righty Ross Stripling to the hill, but the shortstop should still make for a decent option in NL-only formats during the upcoming week while he continues to hold down a full-time role. Ahmed is hitting just .241 on the season but owns a respectable .794 OPS, 77 points greater than the career-best mark he posted in 2017.
