Berti went 3-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in an extra-inning loss to the Mets on Saturday.

Berti led off the contest with a double and finished with his first three-hit game of the campaign. He stole second base in the seventh inning but was left stranded there. Berti has been a true difference maker in fantasy this season thanks to his proficiency on the basepaths. He leads the majors with 26 thefts, with 22 of those coming since the start of June.

Wendle isn't starting Saturday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle started in the last four games and went 3-for-15 with two doubles and an RBI. Jon Berti is starting at second base while Bryan De La Cruz takes over in left field.

Edman isn't starting Saturday's game against the Phillies, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Edman is getting a day off after he went just 1-for-19 with five strikeouts over the last five games. Edmundo Sosa will take over at shortstop and bat eighth.

Swanson went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's win over the Nationals.

All three knocks were singles, something of a disappointment on a night in which Atlanta hitters piled up seven extra-base hits including four homers en route to 12 runs, but Swanson still cranked out his fourth multi-hit performance in the last eight games. The shortstop is batting .389 (14-for-36) during that surge, boosting his slash line on the season to .302/.359/.494 with 14 homers, 14 steals, 50 RBI and 52 runs through 85 contests.

Lindor went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Marlins.

His towering blast off Steven Okert in the eighth inning gave the Mets their final gasp of offense on the night. Lindor is struggling again, batting only .226 (7-for-31) through the first eight games in July, and on the season the shortstop is slashing .240/.318/.417 with 14 homers, nine steals, 49 runs and 58 RBI through 83 contests.

Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a walk and three runs scored in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Rockies.

Perdomo scored every time he reached base. The rookie shortstop, who is batting .202, maintains an acceptable .305 on-base percentage thanks to a 12.2 BB% (31 walks over 259 plate appearances). Perdomo is emerging from an 0-for-27 stretch, going 7-for-31 (.226) with a double, an RBI and six runs scored over his last nine games.

Castillo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in a 4-3 loss to the Brewers on Friday.

Castillo was the only Pirate who could get to Brewers starter Aaron Ashby, and he did so in a big way with a two-run shot to left-center. The backup utility player now has 10 long balls on the season to go along with 23 RBI in 205 at bats. Despite showing a bit of pop in his bat, Castillo has struggled to get on base all season long and sports a meager .244 OBP. He is likely to remain in a backup role unless he can improve his 5.1 percent walk rate.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 4-3 win over the Pirates on Friday.

Adames went deep for his 17th home run of the season to help power the Brewers to victory. The 26-year-old shortstop is slashing a meager .179/.281/.429 with only five hits in seven games in July. Despite struggling to make contact and get on base this year, Adames is on pace to set career highs in home runs and RBI.

Camargo (knee) reported to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday to begin a rehab assignment.

Camargo has been on the shelf with a right knee strain since June 29, so he shouldn't require much time in the minors to get back up to speed. The 28-year-old should reclaim a utility role for the Phillies once reinstated from the injured list.

Castillo went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Reds.

The rookie gave the Pirates a 1-0 lead with a solo shot in the fifth inning off Mike Minor and added a single off Ian Gibaut in the eighth. The homer was Castillo's first blast since July 28 and his ninth of the season. However, he's still only slashing .198/.240/.371 through his first 70 games.
