Ahmed went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored Wednesday in the Diamondbacks' 4-3 loss to the Giants in 10 innings.

The double is already Ahmed's sixth extra-base hit in 14 games this season, boosting his slugging percentage to a career-best .438. However, much of that power production came in the Diamondbacks' first four games of the season, with the shortstop having largely struggled at the dish ever since returning from a brief absence earlier this month due to an illness. Over his past 10 starts, Ahmed has managed only three hits in 31 at-bats (.097 average), which has dimmed the luster of his hot start to the campaign.

Gordon went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in a 7-1 loss to the Astros on Wednesday.

Gordon was the only Mariners player with a multi-hit effort on a night when they were stymied by Gerrit Cole and a pair of relievers. The dynamic leadoff man has been as productive as advertised, having hit safely in all but one game this season and going a perfect 8-for-8 in the stolen-base department.

Seager went 4-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 13-4 drubbing of the Padres.

Seager's four-hit day raised his batting average over 40 points, but he still owns a disappointing .254/.321/.338 slash line after enduring a slow start due to an elbow injury. It is still early, and the slugging shortstop has posted high-level totals for his position over the past couple of seasons. Seager's .288 BABIP is well below his .352 career mark, and he is making strong contact (55.0% medium-hit rate and 35.0% hard-hit rate) while striking out less than usual (14.1% K%), so better days at the plate are likely ahead for the 23-year-old.

Bogaerts (ankle) ran and worked out on the field Wednesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Bogaerts continues to work his way from a cracked bone in his left ankle. The shortstop was able to take batting practice for the second straight day, and manager Alex Cora said he's making "great" progress, according to Logan Mullen of NESN.com. That said, it's still unclear when he'll be ready to return at this point. Bogaerts is currently 10 days into his initial 10-14 day estimated return timetable.

Camargo (oblique) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Wednesday.

Camargo has been battling an oblique injury all season, but he's finally ready to join the Braves after having his initial return date pushed back multiple times. The 24-year-old appeared in 10 minor-league rehab games with Triple-A Gwinnett and High-A Modesto, going 11-for-41 (.268) with three homers. That included a 3-for-5 showing Wednesday. While he'll be in uniform for the Braves, Ryan Flaherty will remain in the lineup as the team's starting third baseman. It's unclear how the Braves initially plan to deploy Camargo, as they may ultimately choose to ease him back into action with Flaherty playing well as the stand-in third baseman.

Owings is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Giants.

This marks Owings' second consecutive absence, though he started six in a row before taking a seat Tuesday. The utility man holds a .280 batting average on the season, but he has collected just three hits in his last six games played. The Diamondbacks will deploy Jarrod Dyson in right field for Wednesday's matchup.

Wendle is not in the lineup against the Rangers on Wednesday.

Wendle will sit for the third straight game as Cole Hamels takes the mound for Texas. Daniel Robertson will get another start at the keystone and bat second. Over 15 appearances this season, Wendle is hitting .244/.360/.439 with one home run, five RBI and one stolen base.

Turner went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Mets.

Turner's first double came off Mets starter Zack Wheeler in the first, and the second off reliever Gerson Bautista in the ninth. The multi-hit showing brings Turner's season average up to .250, and the stolen base brings his total to eight (in eight attempts). The young shortstop has played in all 18 games for the Nationals, and his newfound ability to take walks (15 walks already this year) makes him an even safer bet for stolen bases and runs scored.

Lindor went 1-for-5 in Tuesday's win over the Twins, smashing a two-run homer.

Lindor broke the scoreless tie in the fifth, taking Twins starter Jake Odorizzi deep to put Cleveland on top 2-0. The offense kept hitting home runs, and Cleveland's pitching staff kept the Twins at bay. The home run was Lindor's second on the season, and he's now sporting a modest four-game hitting streak. The young shortstop only recently got his batting average above .200, and it's now sitting at .238.

Story went 2-for-4 in Tuesday's win over the Pirates, slashing a double and stealing a base.

Story's double came off Pirates starter Trevor Williams and was his third on the season. The stolen base is the focal news, though, as Story is now 4-0 is steal attempts on the year, and is already more than half way to his 2017 total. It's encouraging that the young shortstop has had back-to-back multi-hit games, but he's still sitting at a .217 average and .299 on-base percentage, due in large part to his 35.0 percent strikeout rate.
