The Dodgers reinstated Rojas (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's series opener versus the Phillies.

Los Angeles designated catcher Austin Wynns for assignment to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster for Rojas, who was sidelined for approximately two weeks with the left hamstring strain. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts mentioned over the weekend that Rojas likely won't be a full-time starter in the infield immediately upon his return from the IL, but the 34-year-old is projected to assume the bulk of the starts at shortstop while Chris Taylor shifts back into a utility role.

Crawford (calf) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Crawford exited Saturday's contest with right calf tightness and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale, though manager Gabe Kapler said the veteran infielder could still be available off the bench, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. Thairo Estrada will move to shortstop while Brett Wisely starts at the keystone for San Francisco.

Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 16-11 win against San Francisco.

Offense was abundant in MLB's first ever regular-season game in Mexico City, with the two clubs combining to hit 11 homers. Bogaerts got in on the action in the fourth inning, blasting a 455-foot solo shot that gave San Diego an 8-7 lead. It was the star shortstop's sixth long ball of the season, which puts him well above pace to surpass the 15 homers he hit in 150 games in his final campaign with the Red Sox last year.

Berti will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Cubs, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Though he's returning to the lineup as the Marlins' table setter against a left-hander (Justin Steele), Berti may be on the outs for a regular role against right-handed pitching. He's hit the bench in two of the last three occasions that the Marlins have faced right-handed starters, with Garrett Hampson getting the nod at shortstop instead. However, both Hampson and Berti may see their opportunities versus righties dwindle whenever Joey Wendle (intercostal) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.

Perdomo went 3-for-5 with one home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Rockies.

Perdomo's 413-foot shot in the second inning broke the game open, giving Arizona a 7-0 lead. The shortstop is now on a four-game hit streak and sports a 1.090 OPS through 21 games played this year. The 23-year-old has played well to start the campaign, a welcome sight for his fantasy managers following his .195/.285/.262 slash line last season.

Crawford left Saturday's game against the Padres with right calf tightness, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. He went 1-for-2 with a solo homer before exiting.

Crawford has been replaced by Brett Wisely, with Wisely playing second base and Thairo Estrada sliding over to shortstop. Crawford should be considered day-to-day until there are more updates, but there's a strong chance he will sit out Sunday's series finale against San Diego while recuperating.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Rojas (hamstring) will play five innings at shortstop in a rehab game for Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday and could return from the 10-day injured list as soon as Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Rojas hit the IL on April 19 with a left hamstring strain, but he looks like he could be ready for activation shortly after he's first eligible to return. The 34-year-old veteran has dealt with injuries throughout the first month of the regular season and also during the Cactus League. He'll get a chance to reclaim duties at shortstop once activated, but Roberts noted that Rojas won't necessarily return as a full-time starter.

Berti is not in the lineup Saturday against the Cubs, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Garrett Hampson will start at shortstop and bat ninth versus the Cubs and right-hander Caleb Kilian. Berti is sitting on a .228/.279/.354 slash line with two home runs and four stolen bases through 26 games this season with the Marlins.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Angels.

Adames smoked a Tyler Anderson fastball 411 feet to give the Brewers an early 1-0 lead. The homer snapped an 0-for-10 stretch for the Milwaukee shortstop. Adames is now slashing .247/.357/.452 on the season.

Williams was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City by the Dodgers on Friday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

The move clears room for Max Muncy, who returned from the paternity list Friday. Williams will likely bounce between the majors and Triple-A all season depending on the Dodgers' roster needs.
