Pablo Reyes RF | SD
Brewers' Pablo Reyes: Moves down to minors
The Brewers optioned Reyes to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.
Reyes went 4-for-14 with a walk and a run scored in his four games with the Brewers following his call-up from Triple-A Nashville on Friday. He'll end up moving back to the minors now that everyday shortstop Willy Adames (ankle) has been cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.

Brewers' Willy Adames: Makes return from IL
The Brewers reinstated Adames (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. He'll start at shortstop and bat second in the Brewers' game against the Phillies.
Milwaukee optioned utility man Pablo Reyes to Triple-A Nashville to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for Adames, who had been sidelined since mid-May with a left high-ankle sprain. Adames checked out fine following a recent three-game rehab assignment at Nashville, so he'll be in the clear to reclaim an everyday role at shortstop. Luis Urias is expected to slide back over to third base as a result, while Jace Peterson will transition into a utility gig.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Exits lineup
Perdomo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Perdomo will take a seat one day after smacking his first career home run while driving in a career-high five runs in the Diamondbacks' 14-8 loss. Jake Hager steps in at shortstop for Perdomo, who had started at the position in each of the last five contests.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Dodgers' Trea Turner: Stolen base in loss
Turner went 1-for-3 with one steal in Tuesday's loss against the White Sox.
The stolen base was Turner's 12th of the season, good for fifth highest in MLB and third in the National League. Turner maintains an excellent .299/.354/.467 slash line and continues to be a productive asset for both the Dodgers and fantasy managers.

Jon Berti 3B | CHC
Marlins' Jon Berti: Swipes eighth bag
Berti went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Nationals.
The veteran utility player continues to take advantage of the regular role created by a succession of injuries around the Marlins' infield. Berti has started seven straight games and 10 of the last 11, and while he's batting only .243 (9-for-37) over that stretch, he's drawn six walks for a .349 OBP, scored seven runs and stolen six of his eight bases on the season.

Yu Chang SS | TB
Pirates' Yu Chang: Collects first hit in Pittsburgh
Chang went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI on Tuesday against the Tigers.
Chang delivered an RBI double in the second inning to put the Pirates up 1-0. It was his first knock of the season across 22 at-bats. Out of minor-league options, Chang has gotten consistent playing time in the absence of Josh VanMeter (finger), but he'll need to improve his performance to retain a spot on the 40-man roster.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Launches grand slam
Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, an additional RBI and an additional run during Tuesday's 14-8 loss at Cincinnati.
Perdomo entered the contest with only five RBI in 48 games this season, but he doubled that total between the eighth and ninth innings Tuesday with a grand slam and an RBI single, respectively. It was also the first home run of his major-league career. The 22-year-old continues to operate as Arizona's primary shortstop with Nick Ahmed (illness/shoulder) on the injured list.

Brandon Crawford SS | STL
Giants' Brandon Crawford: Nursing tight quadriceps
Crawford was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rockies with right quadriceps tightness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
The 35-year-old went 0-for-2 during Tuesday's contest before being lifted for a pinch hitter during the fifth inning. The severity of the injury remains unclear, and Crawford should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Brewers' Willy Adames: Set to return Wednesday
Adames (ankle/quadriceps) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
It was previously reported Adames was poised to be reinstated for Tuesday's series opener versus the Phillies, but manager Craig Counsell said the team wants to give the shortstop an extra day to make sure he's fully healthy. The 27-year-old also indicated he feels 100 percent healthy, so it appears the delayed activation is simply a precautionary move from the Brewers.

Joey Wendle 2B | ATL
Marlins' Joey Wendle: No longer sore
Wendle (hamstring) isn't feeling sore Tuesday after receiving a PRP injection four days prior, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Wendle has missed just shy of a week with a right hamstring strain, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. Whether or not he'll be ready to return when first eligible is not yet clear, however.
