Bogaerts will sit Saturday against the Yankees while managing wrist soreness, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

It's unclear exactly when the wrist issue began for Bogaerts, but it's possible it explains his recent downturn at the plate. He's slashed .195/.290/.268 in May after hitting .308/.400/.514 through the end of April. The fact that Bogaerts has played through the issue to this point seemingly gives him a good chance at avoiding the injured list, but the Padres have yet to say whether they expect him to miss a handful of games or just one. Ha-Seong Kim (knee) will start at shortstop Saturday.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with one homer, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 5-2 win over Colorado.

Fantasy managers will hope this performance signals the start of a hot streak, as Lindor is currently in the midst of one of his weakest seasons at the plate. The former Guardian's on-base-percentage of .304 is far below his previous low mark of .322, which he set in 2021. The shortstop's .232 batting average is also approaching his career-low mark of .230, which he also set in 2021.

Marcano went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and a stolen base in Friday's 11-6 win over the Mariners.

For the second time in his last three games, Marcano flexed both power and speed with a homer and a steal. The 23-year-old is batting .261 (12-for-46) in May, right in line with his .266 average for the season. He's added an .809 OPS, three homers, three steals, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored, five doubles and a triple through 91 plate appearances. Marcano should remain in the mix as a strong-side platoon option at shortstop, sharing the position with righty-hitting Chris Owings.

Adames (head) will be placed on the 7-day injured list with a concussion after leaving Friday's game against the Giants, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

A line drive off the bat of Brian Anderson in the second inning rocketed into the Brewers dugout and struck Adames in the head, and he was taken to a hospital to be evaluated. The positive news is that Adames has no fractures and he's been alert throughout, and while he will remain in the hospital overnight, he's expected to be released Saturday according to manager Craig Counsell. Adames will miss at least a week, but things could have been much worse given the circumstances.

Adames (undisclosed) has left the stadium for more testing and evaluation after leaving Friday's game against the Giants in the second inning after being struck by a foul ball, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Adames was struck by a liner off the bat of Brian Anderson in a scary moment in the second inning. While the shortstop should be considered day-to-day at this stage, the severity of the injury and how long he might be out won't be determined until after the testing is complete.

Adames left Friday's game against the Brewers after being struck by a foul ball in the dugout, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. He walked in his only plate appearance before exiting.

Adames was struck hard by a liner off the bat of Brian Anderson, and he was taken by trainers into the clubhouse. Brice Turang has taken over for the Brewers at shortstop. It appears that the ball struck Adames in the head, so the Brewers may need to place the infielder in the concussion protocol.

Perdomo isn't starting Friday against Boston.

Left-hander Chris Sale will start on the mound for Boston, so Perdomo will retreat to the dugout for Friday's contest. Nick Ahmed will fill in at shortstop for Perdomo and bat seventh.

McLain went 3-for-5 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 9-0 victory over the Cubs.

All three knocks were singles in the first three-hit game of the rookie's career. The shortstop has been a consistent offensive threat since being called up in mid-May, hitting safely in eight of his first 10 big-league games. Over his last five appearances, McLain has totaled nine hits (four for extra bases), five RBI, three walks and six runs scored across 24 at-bats. For the moment, he appears to be the Reds' everyday shortstop, as Jose Barrero has started playing more outfield with Wil Myers (illness) on the injured list.

Crawford isn't starting Friday against the Brewers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Crawford's .575 OPS on the season has now caused him to miss three of the Giants' last four games. In his place, the team will opt to start the much hotter bat of Casey Schmitt, who will hit seventh.

Wendle isn't starting Friday against the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle holds a .598 OPS against southpaws over the last three seasons, so he will retreat to the bench Friday against Reid Detmers and the Angels. Jon Berti will fill in as the Marlins' shortstop and bat leadoff.
