Bogaerts received a cortisone shot in his left wrist as planned after Sunday's game against the Mets, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

This is a planned injection for Bogaerts, who doesn't anticipate needing another such cortisone shot the rest of the year. "Looking forward to a nice second half, and I expect that out of myself," he said Sunday. It doesn't sound like this will affect Bogaerts' availability immediately after the break, but it's something to remember in case his left wrist gives him any trouble later this summer.

Crawford (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Crawford was pulled from Saturday's game with hamstring tightness and will be sidelined for the final game before the All-Star break Sunday, though manager Gabe Kapler said an appearance as a pinch hitter is possible, per Slusser. Casey Schmitt will take over at shortstop while Brett Wisely mans the keystone.

Abrams will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Rangers, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

After leading off against a pair of southpaw starters (Cody Bradford and Andrew Heaney) in the first two games of the series with Texas, the lefty-hitting Abrams will remain atop the lineup while the Rangers bring right-hander Dane Dunning to the bump for the finale. Abrams took well to the leadoff assignment over the previous two contests, going 3-for-11 with two runs and a pair of stolen bases. He also pilfered two bags in Thursday's game against the Reds, giving him four steals in his last three contests.

Perdomo went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Pittsburgh.

Perdomo swiped his 10th base in 73 games, surpassing the nine steals he had during his rookie 2022 season in 148 games.

Adames went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in Saturday's loss to the Reds.

Adames provided the bulk of Milwaukee's offense in the contest, tagging Luke Weaver for a solo homer in the first inning and a two-run shot in the third. The shortstop has found his power stroke of late, swatting four homers and driving in eight runs over his past four games. His overall slash line still sits at just .213/.294/.415, but with 16 long balls before the All-Star break, Adames has a shot at a second consecutive 30-homer campaign.

McLain went 3-for-5 with a run and two stolen bases in an 8-5 victory versus the Brewers on Saturday.

McLain notched his first MLB game with multiple steals and pushed his total to seven (on 11 attempts) on the season. The talented shortstop also finished with his fifth MLB game with at least three hits. Though he's been overshadowed by the sensational exploits of fellow rookie Elly De La Cruz, McLain has been very good in his own right, posting a .301/.368/.512 slash line, seven homers, 29 RBI, 37 runs and the seven steals over 231 plate appearances while holding down an everyday spot for the first-place Reds.

Crawford exited Saturday's game against the Rockies with left hamstring tightness, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Crawford suffered the injury while running to first base in the sixth inning. Manager Gabe Kapler downplayed the significance of the injury, but Crawford will likely be held out Sunday in anticipation of the All-Star break.

Crawford was pulled from Saturday's game against Colorado with an apparent leg injury, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Crawford appeared to be shaking his leg after running to first base in the sixth inning, so it's possible he tweaked something. The Giants will take a look at him and should provide more information shortly. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the time being.

Wendle isn't in the Marlins' lineup Saturday against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

With southpaw Ranger Suarez on the mound for Philadelphia, the Marlins will send out an all-righties lineup and keep Wendle on the bench to begin the game. Jon Berti will fill in as Miami's shortstop Saturday and bat sixth.

Schmitt isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Schmitt has just one hit in 15 tries since the beginning of July, so he'll take a day off Saturday to regroup. While Schmitt sits, Brett Wisely will start at second base and bat ninth while Brandon Crawford covers short.
