Wendle was placed on the injured list with a right hamstring strain Wednesday, retroactive to May 31, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle exited Monday's game against the Rockies due to right hamstring discomfort, and he'll land on the IL after being diagnosed with a strain. Brian Anderson (back) was also placed on the 10-day IL on Wednesday, so Jon Berti and Willians Astudillo are in line for increased playing time at third base.

Strange-Gordon will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Alcides Escobar's (hamstring) move to the 10-day injured list Wednesday clears a path to playing time at shortstop, but Triple-A Rochester call-up Luis Garcia is expected to get the first crack at the everyday role ahead of Strange-Gordon, who had started to encroach on Escobar's playing time over the past two weeks. Strange-Gordon's ability to play the outfield and at second base will offer him a few more avenues to getting at-bats, and he'll draw his second consecutive start Wednesday after manning left field in Tuesday's 10-0 loss. Strange-Gordon went 3-for-4 with a stolen base Tuesday, marking the third consecutive start in which he's collected a steal.

Perdomo isn't starting Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Perdomo is riding an 11-game on-base streak in which he's slashed .250/.302/.350 with a triple, two doubles, two runs and an RBI. Jake Hager will take over at shortstop and bat eighth Wednesday.

Edman isn't starting Wednesday against San Diego, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Edman will get a day off after he went 4-for-19 with four runs, an RBI, two stolen bases and five strikeouts over the last four games. Edmundo Sosa is starting at shortstop and batting seventh.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Pirates.

Turner's third-inning homer was the Dodgers' only extra-base hit of the contest. The shortstop has been locked in at the plate with a 23-game hitting streak -- he's gone 32-for-91 (.352) in that span. The three-week surge has him up to a .298/.357/.461 slash line with six homers, 41 RBI, 23 runs scored, 10 stolen bases, 12 doubles and two triples in 49 contests overall.

Marcano went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.

Marcano has somewhat surprisingly homered in back-to-back games, with his second-inning blast Tuesday giving the Pirates all the offense they needed to win. The 22-year-old has hit safely in five of his six games this season. He's posted two homers, five RBI, five runs scored and a double across 20 plate appearances. Marcano is likely to see a utility role while in the majors.

Edman went 0-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in a 3-2 win Tuesday over San Diego.

Edman began the bottom of the 10th inning as the automatic runner on second base and swiped third. He came around to score the winning run on Albert Pujols' sacrifice fly. After a strong April, he compiled a .259/.323/.371 batting line and seven stolen bases in the month of May, very similar to his .259/.310/.382 combined line from 2020 and 2021.

Adames (ankle) isn't in the lineup for Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday after experiencing discomfort in his right quadriceps during his first rehab game, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The 26-year-old went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk during his first rehab appearance Sunday, but he apparently picked up the quad issue and won't play Tuesday. Nashville has a scheduled day off Wednesday, and Adames is expected to be back on the field for Thursday's contest, so the injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern.

Crawford will sit Tuesday against the Phillies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford finds himself on the bench for just the fourth time all season. He owns a .591 OPS over his last 14 games and has gone hitless in his last two, so it does look as though he could use a day off. Donovan Walton will start at shortstop.

Camargo will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Camargo seems to have wrested the starting shortstop job back from Bryson Stott, who is on the bench Tuesday for the fourth game in a row. Didi Gregorius (knee) is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday and could be back by the end of the week, however, so Camargo's standing atop the depth chart likely won't last much longer.
