Edman exited Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks due to tightness in his left hip flexor, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Edman singled in the bottom of the fifth inning but ran awkwardly to first base and was removed from the game shortly after. Manager Oliver Marmol didn't sound too concerned about the 26-year-old's injury, so he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Edman was removed from Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks in the top of the seventh inning with an apparent injury, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

According to Woo, Edman was running awkwardly after singling to right field in what proved to be his final plate appearance of the day in the bottom of the fifth, but he still played the field for the next inning before ultimately bowing out of the contest. The Cardinals will likely provide an update on the nature and extent of Edman's injury after the contest. If the issue is something that forces Edman to the injured list, top prospect Nolan Gorman could get a call-up from Triple-A Memphis to fill the void at the keystone.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with two walks, an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Nationals.

Crawford contributed an RBI single in the Giants' four-run sixth inning. The shortstop has hit safely in five of his last seven games, but he has no multi-hit efforts in that span. For the season, he's slashing .236/.329/.333 with one home run, nine RBI, 11 runs scored and a stolen base in 82 plate appearances.

Castillo is not in the lineup Sunday against the Brewers.

The 24-year-old started the past four games at shortstop in place of an injured Kevin Newman (groin), but he'll take a seat Sunday with Cole Tucker receiving a look after being activated from the COVID-19 injured list Saturday. Castillo should continue to have an increased role at shortstop until Newman is healthy, but the return of Tucker figures to cut into his playing time a bit.

Ahmed went 2-for-3 with a solo homer Saturday against the Cardinals.

Ketel Marte broke a scoreless tie with a solo shot to lead off the top of the eighth inning, and Ahmed repeated the feat two batters later to chase Miles Mikolas from the game. The homer was Ahmed's second of the season in just six games. He's swung a hot bat since returning from a shoulder injury, slashing .368/.368/.789.

Marcano was optioned to Double-A Altoona on Saturday.

Marcano joined the big-league roster Tuesday when Cole Tucker was placed on the COVID-19 injured list. He went 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored in his lone appearance. Tucker returned from the injured list Saturday, so Marcano will return to Altoona.

Abrams remains on the bench for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Abrams and Ha-Seong Kim were in something close to a true platoon at shortstop throughout the early part of the season, but Abrams' off day here against JT Brubaker means he's now sat against two straight righties. It's possible he's dealing with an unreported injury, but it's also possible he's being benched due to his .146/.255/.244 slash line. Kim, who's hitting a far better .273/.373/.568, will get another start Saturday.

Wendle will hit the bench Saturday against Seattle, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle will join the rest of the Marlins' lefties on the bench Saturday as the team goes with an all-righty lineup against southpaw Robbie Ray. Brian Anderson gets the start at third base.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Edman has shown no hesitation to run lately with four of his five stolen bases on the year coming in the last four games. The second baseman has a .318/.416/.515 slash line with three home runs, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored, a triple and two doubles through 19 contests. That's earned him time in the leadoff spot.

Turner went 0-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 win over Detroit.

Turner didn't collect any hits in the contest, but he registered a sacrifice fly in the third inning and reached base on a walk in the seventh. That extended his on-base streak to 38 games, the third-longest in the majors since 2020, per Dodger Insider. Turner also stole his fourth base of the season -- he leads the Dodgers in both steals and RBI (17).
