Adrianza (elbow/shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Rome on Tuesday.

Adrianza has been sidelined since early May, initially going down with an elbow injury before later hurting his shoulder. He's finally game-ready now, and he'll look to rejoin Atlanta in a utility role later this month once he completes his rehab assignment.

Turner went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run and an additional run in Monday's 9-7 victory versus the Padres.

Turner put the Phillies ahead 6-1 with his two-run shot in the second inning. He had already singled at that point, extending his hitting streak to 15 games. Turner has nine multi-hit efforts during the streak and is slashing .358/.380/.881 with 10 homers, 23 RBI, 19 runs and three stolen bases over the impressive stretch.

Bogaerts went 4-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-0 win over San Francisco.

Bogaerts produced San Diego's second run of the contest with an RBI double in the first inning and added three more singles and a theft the rest of the way. The shortstop notched his second four-hit effort of the season, with his previous such performance taking place Aug. 11 against Arizona. Bogaerts has three multi-hit outings over his past five games, going 9-for-17 with three extra-base hits and two RBI over that span.

Crawford is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

It will be Paul DeJong getting the start at shortstop versus southpaw Justin Steele. Crawford returned from the injured list Friday and has been on the bench both times the Giants have faced a lefty.

Edman went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored and two steals in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh.

Batting in his customary ninth spot in the order against a righty, Edman reached base three times to help spark the Cardinals to a win in the series finale. It was Edman's second multi-steal effort in four games, and he has now swiped 22 bags on the season. He's slashing .246/.310/.415 with 12 homers, 41 RBI and 60 runs scored in 386 at-bats over 114 games.

DeJong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

DeJong is sitting for the third time in four games and has likely seen his brief run as the Giants' primary shortstop come to an end. Brandon Crawford was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, and rookie Casey Schmitt has also shown the ability to play shortstop on days the lefty-hitting Crawford exits the lineup against southpaws.

Schmitt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Schmitt had started at third base or shortstop in each of the past eight games, going 6-for-24 with a home run, three doubles and two walks. Though he's swung the bat well of late, Schmitt is likely to fade into more of a part-time role in the San Francisco infield with Brandon Crawford recently returning from the injured list and with J.D. Davis returning to the lineup Saturday after missing one game with a sore hand.

Williams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Williams seems to have faded into a part-time role of late, as he'll take a seat for the fourth time in seven games. With Williams on the bench, the Pirates will roll with Liover Peguero and Vinny Capra as their starters in the middle infield.

Reds manager David Bell said Sunday that McLain (oblique) will be out for another 2-to-3 weeks, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

McLain landed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right oblique strain, and while his return doesn't appear imminent, the Reds aren't yet dismissing the possibility of the rookie playing again before the end of the season. Spencer Steer has been filling in as the Reds' second baseman in place of McLain, while Elly De La Cruz has settled in as the team's primary shortstop.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a second run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Brewers.

The shortstop extended his hitting streak to 13 games with yet another impressive effort, and over that stretch Turner is slashing .357/.383/.929 with nine of his 21 homers and three of his 25 steals on the season. The 30-year-old has now posted his third straight 20-25 season, and he has yet to be caught stealing in 2023 -- in fact, he's nabbed 30 straight bags dating back to last September. Turner's career 85.9 percent success rate on the basepaths is the second-highest of all time among players with more than 200 attempts, behind only Carlos Beltran's 86.4 percent mark.
