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.

Rojas (calf) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

He'll take a seat for the series finale after exiting Saturday's 4-3 loss with left calf tightness. Erik Gonzalez will fill in at shortstop in place of Rojas, who could be ready to go for Tuesday's game at Tampa Bay following Monday's off day.

Camargo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

He'll sit for the second day in a row while Bryson Stott gets another look at shortstop. Stott is hitting .138 and getting on base at a .219 clip since his May 7 call-up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley, so Camargo may still hold the edge on the top job at shortstop until Didi Gregorius (knee) returns from the injured list.

Rojas left Saturday's game against Atlanta with left calf tightness, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Rojas was forced to exit Saturday's contest in the top of the seventh inning and was replaced by Erik Gonzalez. He was 0-for-2 at the plate prior to leaving the game.

Strange-Gordon is starting Saturday against the Brewers.

The 34-year-old wasn't initially listed among Saturday's starters, but he'll start at shortstop and bat ninth after Alcides Escobar (undisclosed) was removed from the lineup. Over nine games since the start of May, Strange-Gordon has hit .185 with two runs, an RBI and three strikeouts.
