The Marlins optioned Edwards to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

With Tim Anderson (personal) returning from the bereavement list and Otto Lopez (personal) coming off the paternity list, the Marlins will send Edwards and Tristan Gray back to Triple-A after both were up with the big club for the weekend. Edwards, who has missed most of the season while recovering from a bacterial infection of his left foot, appeared in three games against Cleveland over the weekend and went 2-for-9 with a double, two walks and one run.

The Marlins activated Lopez (personal) from the paternity list Monday.

Lopez was away from the club for a few days while welcoming a new addition to his family. He had been operating as the Marlins' primary second baseman prior to going on paternity leave and should regain that role.

Amador went 1-for-3 with a stolen base Sunday against the Cardinals.

Amador started at second base and hit eighth in his big-league debut Sunday. He led off the third inning with a single and then proceeded to swipe second base. Amador should get regular run in the lineup so long as Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) is sidelined.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a walk, a steal and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Padres.

Marte was back in Sunday's lineup after being scratched Saturday due to back soreness. His back didn't appear to hinder him, as he picked up just his second steal of the season after walking to leadoff the fourth. Marte has been scorching hot at the plate in June, slashing .462/.548/.846 with three homers, six RBI, six runs and a 4:5 BB:K over his last seven games.

Lux went 3-for-4 with a steal and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Yankees.

Lux put together his first three-hit effort of the season while also tallying his third steal of the year. Despite the three base hits, Lux was unable to drive anyone home and remains with just one RBI since May 19. He also hasn't homered since May 7 and has just four extra-base hits since May 22. The 26-year-old is still looking to find some more consistency at the dish, and is now slashing .216/.268/.292 with 13 RBI, 18 runs and a 12:40 BB:K in 183 plate appearances.

Marte (back) is starting at second base and batting second Sunday against the Padres.

The 30-year-old was scratched from Saturday's starting nine due to lower-back soreness but will end up sitting just one game. Marte is 11-for-26 with three homers, six RBI and a 4:7 BB:K through seven games in June, which has boosted his OPS for the season to .848.

The Rockies placed Rodgers (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

The move was reported Saturday, and the transaction is now official with prospect Adael Amador getting a call-up from Double-A Hartford to join the Rockies. Rodgers will be eligible to be reinstated June 18, but it's unclear exactly how long he's expected to be sidelined by the hamstring strain. Amador and Alan Trejo should handle second base for Colorado while Rodgers is out.

The Rockies called up Amador from Double-A Hartford, and he'll start at second base and bat eighth Sunday at St. Louis.

The 21-year-old is taking the roster spot of Brendan Rodgers (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Amador is one of the organization's top prospects, and he'll make his MLB debut without seeing action at the Triple-A level. Amador's .666 OPS in 208 plate appearances for Hartford this season isn't encouraging, though he carried a hot bat over his past nine games and had a .359/.422/.846 slash line with six home runs and six stolen bases.

Hoerner (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.

The 27-year-old was diagnosed with a small fracture in his hand Saturday after being hit by a pitch Thursday, so it's not a surprise he's sitting for the series finale versus the Reds. Hoerner won't necessarily require a trip to the injured list, and he may be able to play through the injury once the swelling subsides. Michael Busch will handle the keystone Sunday for the Cubs.

Stott is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets in London.

Stott started the previous nine games and is in the midst of a five-game hit streak, and he's gone 5-for-17 with a double, three walks, two RBI and four stolen bases in the latter stretch. Weston Wilson will take over at second base and bat eighth Sunday.
