Edman went 0-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 13-7 loss to the Giants.

Edman's picked up two steals in his last four games, though both have been in contests in which he didn't collect a hit. The second baseman is sporting a 13.3 walk rate, which has helped him post a sturdy .408 on-base percentage through 108 plate appearances. He's up to seven steals, three home runs, 14 RBI and 18 runs scored in 26 games this season.

Camargo will start at first base and bat eighth in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Mets, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Though he'll be filling in for a resting Rhys Hoskins in Game 1 of the twin bill, Camargo appears well positioned to serve as the Phillies' primary option at shortstop for at least over the next week and a half after Didi Gregorius (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. The Phillies recalled prospect Bryson Stott from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to restore some depth in the middle infield, and though he'll start at shortstop in Game 1, he turned in a lowly .328 OPS in 31 plate appearances to begin the season before he was optioned to Lehigh Valley. Meanwhile, Camargo is holding down a .680 OPS over 64 plate appearances on the campaign, which should be enough to make him the preferred option at shortstop over Stott.

Castillo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Castillo was in the lineup for both of Saturday's games, but his damage came in the first inning of the latter contest when he took Phillip Diehl yard for his second homer of the season. Castillo has earned a near everyday role in Pittsburgh, thanks in large part to his defensive versatility. He hasn't had an inspiring start to the season by maintaining a .254/.282/.358 line across 63 plate appearances, though he has only a 19.7 percent strikeout rate.

Berti landed on the injured list for undisclosed reasons Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The Marlins didn't specify the reason for Berti's absence, nor did they specify which injured list he'd been placed on, which fits the pattern teams have used when a player lands on the COVID-19 injured list. Joe Dunand's contract was called up in a corresponding move to take Berti's spot as a utility infielder.

Wendle will sit Saturday against San Diego, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle hasn't made a single start against a southpaw this season, a trend that continues Saturday against Sean Manaea. Joe Dunand will make his major-league debut at third base.

Crawford will hit the bench against lefty Steven Matz and the Cardinals on Saturday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Crawford is nowhere near a platoon risk, as Saturday's game marks just his second time out of the lineup all season, though his rare days off will likely continue to come against southpaws. Mauricio Dubon will be the shortstop in his absence.

Crawford went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Cardinals.

Crawford has hit safely in six of his last eight games, though Friday was his first multi-hit effort in that span. He's 7-for-27 (.259) with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored during that stretch. He started the season cold, but the recent uptick in success has lifted his slash line to .236/.333/.360 in 102 plate appearances.

Ahmed went 0-for-3 in Friday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.

Ahmed initially tore it up after being activated off the injury list, going 8-for-23 (.348) with three home runs, but he's now hitless over 13 consecutive at-bats and hitting .235. He remains the team's primary shortstop, but there will be a rotation of sorts among four players in the infield. Josh Rojas and Geraldo Perdomo can play three positions, while Ahmed and second baseman Ketel Marte will get occasional days off to maintain health.

Perdomo remains on the Diamondbacks' roster following the activation of Josh Rojas from the injured list, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Rojas made his season debut Friday, getting the nod at third base, but manager Torey Lovullo indicated Rojas would see time at shortstop and second base to give Nick Ahmed and Ketel Marte breaks during the week. That rotation, along with off days for Rojas, opens up regular at-bats for Perdomo, who is slashing .290/.353/.419 over the last 10 games following a slow start. A shortstop by trade, Perdomo has also made appearances at second and third base already in 2022.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Brewers.

The shortstop took Jandel Gustave deep in the eighth inning, but all Swanson really accomplished was creating a save situation for Josh Hader. Swanson continues to put his slow start to the season behind him, and over the last 16 games he's slashing .314/.379/.529 with two homers, two steals, eight RBI and nine runs.
