Adames went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Royals in a loss Monday.

Adames' lone hit was a huge one, as he belted a two-run homer to right-center field with two outs in the ninth inning to tie the game. However, the Royals were able to recover and notch a walk-off win in the bottom of the frame. Adames has opened the second half in fine form, contributing three homers and seven RBI over four contests. He's up to 18 home runs through 96 contests on the campaign, giving him a reasonable shot to reach the 30-homer mark for a third straight season.

Betts went 4-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 10-7 loss to the Phillies.

It was Betts' 33rd career multi-homer game and his second of the year. The veteran shortstop responded in a big way after being dropped to fifth in the Dodgers' batting order Monday for the first time this season, as he last homered June 27 in San Diego. Betts still has career lows in batting average (.237) and on-base percentage (.300) for the campaign, collecting 13 homers, 34 RBI, 39 runs scored and one stolen base over 277 plate appearances.

Turner went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in Monday's 10-7 win over the Dodgers.

It was the 20th career multi-homer game by Turner, who registered his first such effort of the year and also tallied career homer No. 200 in the process. The five RBI were a season high as well for the veteran shortstop, who's finally starting to pick up some steam at the dish. He's cranked four long balls during his five-game hitting streak, but Turner is still slashing just .246/.296/.396 with 14 big flies, 40 RBI, 17 stolen bases and 68 runs scored over 433 trips to the plate.

Jarvis will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Padres.

Jarvis will cover shortstop for the fifth game in a row, with three of those starts coming against righties and two coming versus lefties. Since being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on July 2, Jarvis has posted a strong .297/.333/.459 slash line with one home run, four RBI and five runs in 11 games and has provided solid defense in the middle infield. So long as he keeps hitting, Jarvis should be able to hold down a near-everyday role at shortstop while Mauricio Dubon is needed in the outfield as long as at least one of Ronald Acuna (hamstring) and Mike Yastrzemski (elbow) remain on the shelf.

Lopez (finger) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.

Per Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com, Lopez was spotted on the field playing catch during pregame warmups, but the Marlins will keep him on the bench for the second day in a row while he recovers from right ring finger inflammation. Javier Sanjoa will serve as Miami's shortstop and bat ninth inm Monday's series opener.

Triple-A Rochester placed King on the 7-day injured list July 3 with a left oblique strain.

King has split his age-23 season evenly between Double-A and Triple-A, although he was notably more impressive at Double-A (163 wRC+) than for Rochester (102 wRC+). He has a .306/.385/.504 slash line, 10 home runs, nine steals and a 20 percent strikeout rate in 68 games. Since getting to Triple-A, King has started 26 games at shortstop and seven games at second base.

Crisantes has been promoted from Double-A Amarillo to Triple-A Reno, Chase Ford of MiLB Central reports.

Crisantes earned the promotion after slashing an impressive .319/.413/.548 with five home runs and a 19:29 BB:K in 35 games with Amarillo. The 21-year-old has played second base exclusively this season, which lessens his chances of a promotion later this season since that's Ketel Marte's position with the big club.

Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

Perdomo's lone hit was a memorable one, as his line drive to left field in the seventh inning was misplayed by Jose Fermin and resulted in an inside-the-park homer. It's been a fairly pedestrian July for Perdomo, who's hitting just .204 with two homers, five RBI, 10 runs and three stolen bases across 13 games. The shortstop has taken a step back from his breakout 2025 campaign, slashing .238/.355/.358 with seven homers, 36 RBI, 48 runs and 15 stolen bases across 95 contests in 2026.

Lindor went 3-for-3 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two walks in Sunday's 6-1 win over Philadelphia.

Lindor matched a season high in RBI in what was arguably his best game of the year at the plate, totaling a season-high seven bases. It's been a difficult campaign for the star shortstop amid injury, poor play and trade rumors, so perhaps Sunday's showing will get him going. Through 184 plate appearances, Lindor is slashing .220/.304/.390 with six homers, 18 RBI, two stolen bases and 23 runs scored.

Abrams went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

Abrams is up to a career-high 21 homers on the season, including four over his last 13 games. He has gone 15-for-52 (.288) with 11 RBI and two stolen bases in that span. Overall, the shortstop is batting .277 with an .869 OPS, 70 RBI, 58 runs scored, 19 doubles, two triples and 15 steals over 96 contests.
