Lopez went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 5-1 victory over the Rays.

The 26-year-old made his first appearance since May 2 after being activated from the injured list for an ankle injury before the contest. Lopez blasted a 401-foot home run off Tampa Bay starter Shane Baz in the fourth inning to give Miami a 3-1 lead. Lopez is now slashing .230/.293/.354 with three homers and steals apiece through 123 plate appearances. He appears set to re-establish his role as the Marlins' everyday second baseman.

Fitzgerald isn't part of the starting nine for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Fitzgerald will get a day off after making back-to-back starts following his activation from the 10-day injured list Friday. In his place, Christian Koss will bat ninth and play second base.

Edman (ankle) has been activated from the 10-day injured list and will bat sixth and play center field Sunday against the Angels, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Edman landed on the injured list April 30 after tweaking his right ankle but recovered slower than anticipated. He's finally healthy enough to rejoin the active roster and immediately joins the starting nine. Edman slashed .252/.295/.523 with eight home runs in 122 plate appearances before the injury. The Dodgers designated Chris Taylor for assignment in a corresponding move.

The Marlins reinstated Lopez (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Lopez missed two weeks of action after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 right ankle sprain in early May. The 26-year-old should immediately regain a near-everyday role at second base. Despite Lopez's return, the Marlins' infield is still missing a key piece, as shortstop Xavier Edwards was placed on the 10-day IL on Sunday due to a mid-back strain.

Hoerner went 2-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored and an RBI in Saturday's 7-3 win over the White Sox. He also stole a base.

For the second straight game, Hoerner tallied two hits and a stolen base against the Cubs' crosstown rivals. He's now up to 10 steals on the season, and the infielder should continue to run frequently after swiping 31 bags in 2024. Hoerner is also helping fantasy managers with a .285 batting average, which is slightly ahead of his career .278 figure.

Farmer went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and four total RBI in Saturday's 14-12 victory versus Arizona.

Farmer had two big hits in the victory -- a two-run homer in the third inning that tied the score 6-6 and a two-run double in the sixth that pulled the Rockies within a run. The veteran infielder's long ball was his second in as many games after he began the campaign with no homers through his first 35 contests. Farmer doesn't have an everyday role with the Rockies, as he started Saturday for just the second time across the team's past five games.

Stott went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Stott did all of his damage between the third and fourth innings, including a 411-foot solo homer. The second baseman has gone just 11-for-55 in May, though he has hit safely in four of his past five games. He's slashing .263/.329/.397 with four home runs, 24 RBI, 24 runs scored and nine steals across 174 plate appearances this season and continues to hit leadoff against right-handed starters.

Garcia went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Orioles.

Garcia hit a two-run single in the first inning and drove in another run on a double in the second. The second baseman has gone just 9-for-45 in so far in May but has tallied multi-hit efforts in each of his past two starts. On the season, he's hitting .229 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 19 runs scored and six steals across 157 plate appearances.

Lopez (ankle) rejoined the Marlins in Miami on Saturday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Lopez has been sidelined since May 4 due to a sprained right ankle and appeared in one rehab game Friday with Triple-A Jacksonville. He isn't yet activated, though he may return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale versus the Rays.

Fitzgerald (rib) went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and a walk in Friday's 9-1 win over the Athletics.

Fitzgerald was placed on the 10-day injured list May 1 due to a left rib fracture but was reinstated Friday after a brief rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento. The 27-year-old infielder drew a walk in the third inning before coming around to score on a grand slam by Wilmer Flores. Fitzgerald also lined his fifth double of the 2025 campaign. He's now slashing .286/.348/.440 with two homers, five steals, 15 runs scored, seven RBI and a 7:22 BB:K across 94 plate appearances this season.
