Trea Turner SS | PHI
Dodgers' Trea Turner: Stolen base in loss
Turner went 1-for-3 with one steal in Tuesday's loss against the White Sox.
The stolen base was Turner's 12th of the season, good for fifth highest in MLB and third in the National League. Turner maintains an excellent .299/.354/.467 slash line and continues to be a productive asset for both the Dodgers and fantasy managers.

Jon Berti 3B | CHC
Marlins' Jon Berti: Swipes eighth bag
Berti went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Nationals.
The veteran utility player continues to take advantage of the regular role created by a succession of injuries around the Marlins' infield. Berti has started seven straight games and 10 of the last 11, and while he's batting only .243 (9-for-37) over that stretch, he's drawn six walks for a .349 OBP, scored seven runs and stolen six of his eight bases on the season.

Yu Chang SS | TB
Pirates' Yu Chang: Collects first hit in Pittsburgh
Chang went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI on Tuesday against the Tigers.
Chang delivered an RBI double in the second inning to put the Pirates up 1-0. It was his first knock of the season across 22 at-bats. Out of minor-league options, Chang has gotten consistent playing time in the absence of Josh VanMeter (finger), but he'll need to improve his performance to retain a spot on the 40-man roster.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Launches grand slam
Perdomo went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, an additional RBI and an additional run during Tuesday's 14-8 loss at Cincinnati.
Perdomo entered the contest with only five RBI in 48 games this season, but he doubled that total between the eighth and ninth innings Tuesday with a grand slam and an RBI single, respectively. It was also the first home run of his major-league career. The 22-year-old continues to operate as Arizona's primary shortstop with Nick Ahmed (illness/shoulder) on the injured list.

Brandon Crawford SS | STL
Giants' Brandon Crawford: Nursing tight quadriceps
Crawford was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rockies with right quadriceps tightness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
The 35-year-old went 0-for-2 during Tuesday's contest before being lifted for a pinch hitter during the fifth inning. The severity of the injury remains unclear, and Crawford should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Brewers' Willy Adames: Set to return Wednesday
Adames (ankle/quadriceps) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
It was previously reported Adames was poised to be reinstated for Tuesday's series opener versus the Phillies, but manager Craig Counsell said the team wants to give the shortstop an extra day to make sure he's fully healthy. The 27-year-old also indicated he feels 100 percent healthy, so it appears the delayed activation is simply a precautionary move from the Brewers.

Joey Wendle 2B | ATL
Marlins' Joey Wendle: No longer sore
Wendle (hamstring) isn't feeling sore Tuesday after receiving a PRP injection four days prior, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Wendle has missed just shy of a week with a right hamstring strain, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. Whether or not he'll be ready to return when first eligible is not yet clear, however.

Jon Berti 3B | CHC
Marlins' Jon Berti: Descends in order
Berti will start at third base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Berti received the leadoff nod in the Marlins' last game Sunday against the Giants, but that's only because Jazz Chisholm was getting the day off. Even though he'll drop in the lineup Tuesday with Chisholm back in action, Berti looks like he'll continue to hold down a regular role at third base until either Joey Wendle (hamstring) or Brian Anderson (back) returns from the injured list. While starting each of the Marlins' first six games of June, Berti went 8-for-22 with two doubles, four runs, two RBI and three stolen bases.

Johan Camargo SS | SF
Phillies' Johan Camargo: Shut down with knee strain
The Phillies placed Camargo on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right knee strain.
Camargo had started in seven of the Phillies' last eight games, but his move to the IL should clear the way for rookie Bryson Stott to handle an everyday role at second base. Even while playing on at least a semi-regular basis all season before picking up the injury, Camargo has produced modest counting stats (three home runs, no stolen bases, 15 RBI and eight runs) over 143 plate appearances.

Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA
Nationals' Ehire Adrianza: Reinstated from IL
Adrianza (quadriceps) was activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Adrianza was reinstated from the 60-day injured list following a quadriceps injury he suffered in late March. He will return to the major-league roster Tuesday after completing a two-week rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester. Lucius Fox was optioned to Rochester in a corresponding move Tuesday. Adrianza is set for his debut after he signed a one-year contract with the Nationals this past offseason following a 2021 season in which he batted .247 with five homers, 28 RBI and 32 runs in 109 games with the Braves.
