Adames is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.

Adames will get just his second day off of the season and first since April after going 0-for-17 with a 1:9 BB:K over his last four contests. Casey Schmitt will fill in at shortstop for the Giants while Adames gets a breather.

Lopez went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one steal, one RBI and four runs scored during the Marlins' 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Lopez set a season high in runs scored Tuesday while logging two doubles for the second time in 2026. He also logged his 11th steal of the season, tied with Xavier Edwards for second most on the Marlins behind Jakob Marsee (16). Lopez is having a terrific season at the plate, leading the National League in both batting average (.341) and hits (89) while ranking fourth in both triples (three) and doubles (11).

Lindor (calf) will go through full baseball activities this week during the Mets' homestand, Chelsea Janes of SNY.tv reports.

Lindor has been ramping up his activity level recently and will have no major restrictions this week as he continues to crank it up a notch. The star shortstop has been sidelined since late April with a left calf strain, so he is sure to require a rehab assignment before rejoining the Mets' active roster. Those rehab games could come next week if all goes well with Lindor's workouts this week.

Griffin (elbow) is scheduled to resume throwing Wednesday, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.

Griffin will do some light throwing Wednesday as he begins a throwing progression. The rookie is coming back from a flexor strain in his right elbow, and the Pirates have refrained from offering a timeline for Griffin's return to the active roster. It's not clear whether the team is considering bringing Griffin back sooner to serve only as a designated hitter initially.

Triple-A Indianapolis placed Jebb on the 60-day injured list May 1 after he had surgery to repair a left thumb fracture and ligament damage, Mark Chiarelli of Baseball America reports.

Jebb last played April 26 and will require 12 weeks to recover, per the report. A second baseman turned center fielder, Jebb showed middling production across 136 career games at Double-A but hit .375 with two home runs and two steals in his first six games at Triple-A prior to suffering the injury.

Asigen is dealing with a hamstring injury, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

He has yet to play in a Dominican Summer League game, although that season began June 1, so there is still time for him to make his pro debut in 2026. Asigen is one of the top prospects from this year's international signing class.

The Padres placed Bogaerts on the paternity leave list Tuesday.

Bogaerts will likely be away from the club for its final two games of a series versus the Reds before he rejoins his teammates this weekend when the Padres begin a road trip in Baltimore. Sung-Mun Song will likely handle shortstop for San Diego while Bogaerts is away.

High-A South Bend placed Cepeda on the 7-day injured list April 29 with a lower-body injury, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.

Cepeda hasn't played since April 18 due to the injury. The 20-year-old infielder has hit .211 with one steal, zero home runs and seven strikeouts in five games this season.

Abrams went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Arizona.

Abrams provided the Nationals' only offense, leading off the second inning with a solo shot off Michael Soroka that briefly tied the game. The homer was his second in the last three games and is part of a great stretch, as he's hit .299 since April 29. Abrams' full season line stands at a splendid .286/.380/.534 with 14 homers, 49 RBI, 41 runs and nine steals across 279 plate appearances.

Willits was promoted to High-A Wilmington on Sunday, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.

Willits will move up a level in the Nationals' minor-league farm system after producing a .300 batting average with six home runs, 37 RBI, 48 runs scored and 29 stolen bases over 190 at-bats in 47 contests with Single-A Fredericksburg so far this year. The 18-year-old was selected with the first overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, and he has an outside chance at being promoted to Double-A down the road this season.
