  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Dodgers' Trea Turner: Remains in starting lineup

    Turner is starting Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

    Turner has been dealing with a sore calf recently but hasn't missed any time and remains "playable," per manager Dave Roberts. The 28-year-old is in the midst of a 10-game hitting streak in which he's slashed .359/.444/.538 with a homer, four doubles, seven runs, seven RBI and two stolen bases.

  • Miguel Rojas SS | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Swats second homer

    Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Nationals.

    He got the Marlins on the board with a fifth-inning shot off Joan Adon. Rojas has only two homers on the year -- the other coming April 29 -- but the shortstop has been looking better in May, slashing .271/.300/.396 over his last 14 games.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Heads to IL

    The Brewers placed Adames on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a high left ankle sprain.

    The transaction is retroactive to Monday, so Adames will be eligible to come off the IL as soon as May 26. Though Adames has shown improvement since initially suffering the injury Sunday, the progress he made wasn't significant enough for the Brewers to feel optimistic about his chances of returning to the lineup by the end of the week. While Adames is on the shelf, Luis Urias is expected to take over as the everyday shortstop, with Milwaukee likely to run out a platoon of Jace Peterson and Mike Brosseau at third base.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Steals ninth bag

    Edman went 1-for-4 with a triple, an RBI, a run a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base during Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

    Edman also went 1-for-3 during the matinee. The 27-year-old has a .241/.343/.379 slash line with one home run, seven RBI, 13 runs and four stolen bases through 15 games in May.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Dodgers' Trea Turner: Nursing sore calf

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Turner has been bothered by a sore calf over the past few days, but the shortstop remains "playable," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Turner certainly didn't appear bothered by the calf issue Tuesday, as he started both games of the team's doubleheader and went 3-for-8 with a home run, two runs and five RBI. He was replaced with a pinch runner in the sixth inning of the nightcap, but that was largely due to the fact that the Dodgers were ahead 11-2 at the time. The injury appears to be very minor, and it's unlikely that it will cause Turner to miss time going forward, though it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get a rest day at some point since he's started 13 games over the past 11 days.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Unlikely to return before Saturday

    Adames (ankle) isn't expected to return before Saturday's game against Washington, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Adames sprained his left ankle Sunday against the Marlins. While he's avoided the injured list for now, the Brewers have yet to write off the possibility. He'll wind up missing at least five days and could miss at least 10 if he shows no improvement Wednesday.

  • Jose Barrero SS | BAL

    Reds' Jose Barrero: Nearing rehab assignment

    Barrero (hand) could start a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville later this week, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Barrero has been out all year after undergoing surgery on the hamate bone in his left hand in late March. He was originally given a six-week timetable but hit a setback in early May. He's making progress again, however, so while he's already missed his originally timeline, his return doesn't appear to be too far off.

  • Phillies' Johan Camargo: Idle Tuesday

    Camargo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

    Camargo will head to the bench after going 4-for-16 with a home run, a double and a walk over a stretch of four consecutive starts. Two of those starts came at shortstop, where he'll likely see the bulk of his opportunities in the short term while Didi Gregorius (knee) is on the injured list. However, rookie Bryson Stott will get the nod at shortstop Tuesday at Camargo's expense.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Feels better, but IL not dismissed

    Adames (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, and Brewers president of baseball operations David Stearns said the shortstop could still require a stint on the 10-day injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Adames sat out Monday's 1-0 win with the left ankle sprain, an injury that previously forced him out of Sunday's 7-3 victory over the Marlins. Though he'll give way to Luis Urias at shortstop for the second day in a row, Adames showed enough improvement upon reporting to the ballpark Tuesday for the Brewers to push back an IL decision until Wednesday, according to Stearns. That being said, Stearns noted that a trip to the IL is "still on the table" for Adames, who may need to resume baseball activities in some capacity Wednesday to avoid being deactivated for at least the next week.

  • Nationals' Dee Strange-Gordon: Sitting Tuesday

    Strange-Gordon will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

    Strange-Gordon seems to be moving ahead of Alcides Escobar on the shortstop depth chart, as he started five of the last seven games there prior to Tuesday's contest. Escobar will get the nod this time, however, and the pair could continue to split time fairly evenly going forward.
