Edman went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

Edman's still not getting much going in June, bating .154 (8-for-52) on the month, but he has managed three stolen bases and four extra-base hits. He's remained the starting center fielder even with Dylan Carlson back from an ankle injury for the last week. Edman's slump has him down to a .235/.291/.403 slash line with seven home runs, 11 steals, 26 RBI and 34 runs scored through 68 contests, but his defensive versatility should keep his place in the lineup fairly secure.

Abrams is not in the starting lineup against the Marlins on Sunday.

Abrams generally gets one day off per week, and the 22-year-old infielder will get a rest after picking up one hit in seven at-bats over the first two games against the Marlins over the weekend. Ildemaro Vargas will play shortstop and hit eighth.

Wendle is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle returned to the lineup Friday after a short absence due to a groin injury, and he went 3-for-8 over the first two games of the set against the Nationals. Jacob Amaya is making his MLB debut and hitting ninth while playing shortstop.

Perdomo batted leadoff and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 6-3 win over Cleveland.

Pavin Smith had recently been the preferred leadoff hitter against right-handers, but manager Torey Lovullo vaulted Perdomo into the role from the lower third of the order. It was the fourth time the young shortstop hit atop the order and the first time he failed to reach base. Perdomo is 7-for-16 with two walks as the Diamondbacks' leadoff hitter. It's uncertain if Lovullo will continue to use Perdomo at leadoff, but his numbers in a short sampling have been better than Smith's.

Arcia went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two total runs, two total RBI and a stolen base Saturday in a 10-2 win over the Rockies.

Arcia was a force from the No. 8 spot in the order for Atlanta, hitting a solo homer in the third inning and a run-scoring single in the fifth. He finished with his sixth three-hit game of the campaign and bumped his season slash line to .339/.398/.494. While Arcia entered the contest without an extra-base hit over his previous eight games, he batted .346 over that stretch and has hit .396 with 12 RBI across 15 contests in June.

Crawford went 4-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 15-0 win over the Dodgers.

Crawford has just two multi-hit games in his last 11, but he's batting .344 (11-for-32) in that span. The shortstop has started to get his season back on track with the improved hitting in June, though he'll still need to stay sharp to keep Casey Schmitt from eating into his playing time. For the year, Crawford has a .226/.303/.365 slash line with four home runs, 20 RBI, 17 runs scored and three stolen bases over 45 games.

Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in a loss to Tampa Bay on Friday.

Bogaerts' eighth-inning double not only gave the Padres their second run, it also extended his hitting streak to seven games. During that stretch, he's slashing .400/.467/.560 with four doubles, five runs, three RBI and two stolen bases. Bogaerts is a perfect 8-for-8 in steal attempts on the season. The last time he swiped more than eight bags in a campaign was 2017, when he stole 15 in 16 tries.

Berti isn't in the Marlins' lineup Saturday against the Nationals.

Currently in the middle of a mini three-game hitting streak, Berti will get a breather Saturday. While Berti rests, Garrett Hampson will start at third base and bat ninth.

Marcano isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday against Milwaukee, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Wade Miley will start Saturday for the Brewers, so the lefty-hitting Marcano will retreat to the bench to begin the game. Rodolfo Castro will take over for Marcano at shortstop and bat sixth.

Lindor isn't in the Mets' lineup Saturday against the Cardinals.

Lindor will enjoy his first off day of the season Saturday after recording just one hit in his last five games. Luis Guillorme will take over at shortstop in Lindor's place and bat ninth.
