Barrero went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Mets.

The 24-year-old shortstop pilfered his first bag of the year in the majors after going 5-for-7 on steal attempts through 55 games for Triple-A Louisville. Barrero has gone 4-for-18 in five games since his promotion while striking out nine times, but the Reds have nothing to lose by giving him consistent playing time down the stretch and seeing if he can make the necessary adjustments.

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Monday's 3-0 win over the Pirates.

Perdomo swiped second base and scored the go-ahead run after reaching base on an error in the sixth inning. He has two steals over the last three games, giving him five on the year. His slash line still sits at a pedestrian .201/.295/.280 with 41 runs scored through 98 appearances.

DeJong went 2-for-3 with one double, one homer, four RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the Yankees.

After hitting just .182 in his first seven games back from Triple-A, DeJong showed up in big fashion Sunday. With a home run, a double, and seven combined runs and RBI, DeJong finally showed a glimpse of the 2019 self who mashed 30 home runs. The shortstop slugged .552 in Triple-A over 51 games this season, so it is possible he has regained his form and could provide decent power for the Cardinals down the stretch.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Padres.

Turner got aboard with a single in the seventh inning, then stole second and scored on a Freddie Freeman single. This was Turner's first steal (and attempt) in 10 games, a span in which he's hit safely in nine contests. The speedy shortstop is up to 19 thefts in 21 tries this year, and he's added a stellar .305/.345/.499 slash line, 18 home runs, 77 RBI and 66 runs scored through 108 games.

Adames went 1-for-5 with one homer, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Cincinnati.

Adames took a 2-0 cutter from Graham Ashcraft deep to left-center in the third inning for his 22nd home run of the season. Sunday's effort was indicative of his season as a whole, as with the 1-for-5 effort, Adames is now hitting .220 but is second in home runs among shortstops only to Corey Seager. Despite the low average, Adames' power and position atop the Brewers lineup make him a top option at the position.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.

Swanson was the only Atlanta batter to record a hit off Jacob deGrom, and he made it count with a sixth-inning blast to right-center field to end the Mets' ace's start. The homer snapped an 18-game power drought for Swanson, who last went yard July 14. The shortstop is up to 16 homers, 58 RBI, 72 runs scored and 14 stolen bases while slashing .292/.348/.461 through 110 contests.

Perdomo is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Perdomo is 2-for-13 with a home run, four RBI, two runs and a stolen base through five games in August and will head to the bench Sunday. Sergio Alcantara will take over at shortstop in the series finale versus Colorado.

Arcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Arcia was held out of the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader and will be on the bench again Sunday. Ehire Adrianza will work at the keystone during the series finale in New York.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas started the past nine contests and will take a seat after posting a .475 OPS during that stretch. Joey Wendle will shift to shortstop while Charles Leblanc starts at the keystone Sunday at Wrigley Field.

Edman (undisclosed) is starting at second base and batting ninth Sunday against the Yankees.

Edman was scratched from Saturday's lineup for unspecified reasons but is back in the starting nine a day later. The 27-year-old has struggled in 12 games since the All-Star break with a .225/.311/.275 slash line.
