Adames went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a solo homer and an additional run scored during Thursday's 16-7 win in Atlanta.

The 27-year-old clubbed two home runs during Tuesday's series opener, and he followed up Thursday with his 20th long ball of the campaign. Adames is off to a hot start in August, going 8-for-24 with two doubles, three homers, five RBI and seven runs through six games.

Cruz (illness) will start at shortstop and bat third in Thursday's game against the Padres.

Cruz had been out of the lineup for each of the past two games due to an illness, but his usage off the bench in Wednesday's 9-8 extra-inning loss was an indication his return to the starting nine was imminent. He'll take back his usual spot in the lineup for the series finale as the Pirates look to avoid a sweep.

Kim (tricep) will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Pirates.

Kim missed two consecutive starts due to right triceps soreness, but the Padres never seemed concerned about him requiring a trip to the injured list. He came off the bench to pinch run for Jurickson Profar in the sixth inning Wednesday, ultimately staying in the contest and finishing 1-for-1 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored while playing five innings in the field in the Padres' 9-8 extra-inning triumph. With Kim checking out fine following Wednesday's contest, he'll draw back into the lineup for the series finale.

Wisely is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle

Wisely will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitter LaMonte Wade as the Nationals send southpaw DJ Herz to the bump. Casey Schmitt will fill in for Wisely at the keystone.

Tovar went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

Tovar jumped on the first pitch he saw from Paul Blackburn in the opening frame and launched it 434 feet for his 19th home run of the campaign, giving Colorado an early 1-0 lead. The shortstop has struggled mightily since the start of August, batting just .120 (3-for-25) through six games so far. The home run marked both his first extra-base hit and first RBI this month, though he's now scored a run in back-to-back games.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Rockies.

Lindor singled in his first trip to the plate and stole second before coming around to score the Mets' first run of the game on a knock from Pete Alonso. The shortstop then came through in the clutch in his final at-bat, recording a two-RBI single in the ninth to break the tie and give New York a 4-2 lead. Lindor has now hit safely in five of his first six games to open the month of August, posting three RBI, four runs and two stolen bases over that brief stretch. He's also posted multiple hits in three of his last nine contests, though he's still looking for his first extra-base hit this month.

The Dodgers reinstated Rojas (forearm) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Rojas landed on the injured list July 24 due to right forearm tightness, and he played in just one rehab game in Single-A. However, now back on the active roster, the 35-year-old will likely start at shortstop until Mookie Betts (hand) is able to return from the IL. James Outman was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Cruz (illness) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribunereports.

The 25-year-old was held out of Tuesday's starting nine due to an illness and will sit for a second straight game Wednesday. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will receive another look at shortstop while Jared Triolo starts at second base with Cruz under the weather.

Luciano is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After receiving a call-up from Triple-A Sacramento on July 30, Luciano made starts at designated hitter in five of the ensuing six games, but he went just 3-for-17 with eight strikeouts. His run as an everyday player may already be over, as Luciano is sitting for the third time in four games, including for the second time against a right-handed starting pitcher (Jake Irvin).

Perdomo is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Guardians, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Perdomo made a fifth consecutive start in the first game of the day, going 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the Diamondbacks' 7-3 win. He'll retreat to the bench for the nightcap while Kevin Newman receives a turn at shortstop.
