The Cardinals promoted Winn from High-A Peoria to Double-A Springfield on Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Winn will be joined in Springfield by two of the Cardinals' other top prospects in right-handed starters Gordon Graceffo and Michael McGreevy, who were also bumped up from High-A Peoria. Over his 147 plate appearances at Peoria this season, the 20-year-old Winn produced a .349/.404/.566 slash line while going 15-for-15 on stolen-base attempts.

Edman went 0-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 7-3 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.

The 27-year-old came to the plate with two outs in the bottom of the 10th and drew a five-pitch walk, helping set the stage for Paul Goldschmidt's walkoff grand slam. Edman also stole his 11th bag of the season in that frame, and he's tied with teammate Harrison Bader and the Orioles' Jorge Mateo for second place in the majors in that category -- one SB behind rookie Julio Rodriguez.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Mets.

Crawford gave the Giants an early lead with his two-run shot to center field in the second inning, but New York went on to score 13 straight runs to notch a blowout victory. The shortstop had been struggling entering the game, going 1-for-12 over his previous three contests. After hitting a career-high 24 long balls last season, Crawford has just four through 39 contests in 2022.

Wendle (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Jupiter on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Wendle was eligible to be activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday, but he'll get some at-bats in the minors prior to rejoining the Marlins. It seems unlikely he'll return during the Marlins' upcoming two-game road trip in Tampa Bay, which begins Tuesday, but he could be back for the three-game set in Atlanta this weekend.

Berti (illness) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Jupiter on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Joey Wendle (hamstring) is also reporting to Jupiter this week to begin a rehab assignment, and both he and Berti should have similar timelines for making their respective returns to the Marlins' 26-man active roster. Berti, who has been on the COVID-19-related injured list since testing positive for the virus May 7, is expected to supplant Erik Gonzalez as the Marlins' top utility infielder once he's activated.

Adames (ankle) relayed that he's optimistic he'll be ready to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible in Thursday's series opener in St. Louis, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. "There's a lot of tests that I have to pass to prove to them I'm good enough to play on Thursday, but the work that we're putting in, we're going to have a really good chance of being ready for Thursday," Adames said.

Since landing on the IL on Wednesday due to the high left ankle sprain, Adames has been able to do some hitting and straight-line running without pain, but the Brewers want to ensure he has regained full lateral movement before activating him. Adames is scheduled to run the bases Tuesday, and if all goes well, he could test out his lateral movement in the field Wednesday. Even if being ready to go for Thursday's game proves to be too ambitious, Adames would still have a shot at returning later in the weekend in St. Louis.

Mauricio went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and four RBI for Double-A Binghamton on Sunday.

The 21-year-old has seen his prospect status fade significantly over the last couple years, but the Mets still protected Mauricio from the Rule 5 draft in the offseason, and he's beginning to reward the organization's faith in him. He's batting .298 over his last 11 games with seven of his 14 hits going for extra bases, including three homers. However, he also has a 32 percent strikeout rate against a four percent walk rate over that stretch, and his inability to control the strike zone remains the biggest obstacle between Mauricio and a regular spot in the big-league lineup down the road.

Edman went 3-for-6 with two doubles, three runs, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 18-4 win over the Pirates.

The 27-year-old started at shortstop for the second time in the last three games with Nolan Gorman back in the lineup Sunday, and Edman capped off a strong series against the Pirates with his three-hit performance. Edman has crossed the plate in nine of the last 12 games and has hit .280 with a home run, a triple, three doubles, 13 runs, seven RBI and three stolen bases during that time.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 loss to Miami.

Swanson knocked an RBI single in the fifth inning and added an RBI groundout in the ninth, but it wasn't enough to overcome Sandy Alcantara's complete game. He's up to six stolen bases after picking up two this weekend against the Marlins. The 28-year-old shortstop is hitting .242 in May, bringing his season slash line to .229/.301/.400 with 19 RBI.

Reds manager David Bell confirmed Sunday that Barrero (hand) will likely require the full 20-day rehab window at Triple-A Louisville before being activated from the 10-day injured list, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Sidelined since undergoing surgery in late March to repair a hook of the hamate bone of his left hand, Barrero was cleared to join Louisville on Friday to begin the rehab assignment. In addition to picking up at-bats to regain his timing at the plate after having not played in a competitive game since October, Barrero will need to prove he can handle the rigors of playing a full nine innings in the middle infield on back-to-back days while he's at Louisville. The Reds may not have an everyday role in the big leagues available for him once he's back to full strength, so Barrero could still be activated from the IL and optioned to Louisville once his 20-day rehab window concludes.
