Perdomo went 0-for-3 with two walks and two stolen bases in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Nationals.

Perdomo has shown solid plate discipline with four walks over his last three games, but he's gone 0-for-5 in that span. His steals Sunday were his first since April 4. The shortstop is slashing .380/.470/.592 with two home runs, three thefts, 17 RBI and 15 runs scored through 87 plate appearances while playing in a strong-side platoon role. Nick Ahmed starts at shortstop versus southpaws.

Adames went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Giants.

Adames' big hit was a two-run homer in the fifth inning. He also had a sacrifice fly in the third and an RBI single in the ninth. The four RBI were a season high for the shortstop, who now has multi-hit efforts in two of his last three games. He's slashing .236/.336/.415 with six long balls, 20 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases through 34 contests this season.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Rojas is 4-for-13 since he returned from the injured list May 1, and he'll head to the bench for Sunday's series finale in San Diego. Chris Taylor will take over at shortstop and bat eighth.

Wendle (ribs) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle has been on the shelf for the past month with an intercostal strain, but he's back on the active roster after an eight-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville. The 33-year-old opened the season as Miami's primary shortstop, but he went 0-for-8 prior to the injury and could be at risk of being supplanted by Jon Berti -- who is starting Sunday against the Cubs -- or Garrett Hampson.

Marcano is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Marcano had started in each of the previous three games while going 1-for-9 with a run scored, but he still looks to be stuck in a utility role. Assuming the ankle injury that has kept Ji Hwan Bae out of the lineup for two straight games isn't an issue coming out of Monday's off day, he and Rodolfo Castro should form the Pirates' preferred middle-infield tandem for the forseeable future.

Atlanta optioned Grissom to Triple-A Gwinnett following Saturday's 5-4 loss to Baltimore.

Grissom's run as Atlanta's everyday shortstop -- and his time on the 26-man active roster -- will come to an end after the big club reinstated Orlando Arcia (wrist) from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Despite having not played in a game since April 12, Arcia was activated without requiring a minor-league assignment beforehand, which likely speaks to the team's desire to get a natural shortstop back in the mix. Grissom batted a respectable .277 following his April 14 call-up, but he walked at just a three percent rate and produced only two extra- base hits in his 70 plate appearances while also accounting for a minus-2.8 Ultimate Zone Rating over 158 innings at shortstop.

Atlanta reinstated Arcia (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. He'll start at shortstop and bat eighth in Atlanta's series finale with Baltimore.

Since he's been sidelined since April 12 with a microfracture in his left wrist, Arcia was expected to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment prior to returning from the IL, but Atlanta was comfortable enough with how the infielder checked out during workouts the last two days to expedite his activation. Atlanta sent Vaughn Grissom to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding transaction, clearing the way for Arcia to step back in as the team's everyday shortstop. Prior to injuring his wrist, Arcia had slashed .333/.400/.511 with two home runs, 10 runs and seven RBI over 50 plate appearances.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to Boston.

Turner accounted for the final run of the contest with a solo shot to left field in the seventh inning. He extended his hitting streak to seven games, though this was the first time during the streak that he's collected multiple hits. Turner may not be entirely living up to the 11-year, $300 million contract he signed in the offseason just yet, but he's been fine with a .262/.301/.414 slash line, four homers, nine RBI, 20 runs and four stolen bases though 153 plate appearances.

Tovar went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Mets.

His sixth-inning shot off Stephen Nogosek capped the scoring for the Rockies on the day. Tovar has found a groove at the plate after a tough first few weeks of 2023, and over his last 12 games the 21-year-old shortstop is batting .333 (14-for-42) with four doubles, a triple and both his homers on the year, along with nine runs and nine RBI.

Abrams is not in Saturday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Abrams is hitting .323 with one home run and one steal over his last 10 games. Ildemaro Vargas is starting at shortstop and batting ninth.
