Edman went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-3 win over the Padres.

Edman was on base for Nolan Gorman's two-run home run in the third inning. In the fifth, Edman added an RBI single and a steal, his 11th theft in 12 attempts this season. This was his first steal since May 22. The versatile infielder has gone 16-for-51 (.314) in his last 11 contests. For the season, he's at 22 RBI, 37 runs scored, four home runs, eight doubles, three triples and a .282/.360/.425 slash line through 204 plate appearances.

Adrianza (quadriceps) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Adrianza has been out all season after straining his left quadriceps in late March. He owns a 1.238 OPS through six rehab games, so he may not need many more to demonstrate that he's ready to return to the active roster.

Wendle was removed from Monday's game against the Rockies due to right hamstring discomfort, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle went 1-for-2 to begin Monday's matchup before he was replaced by a pinch runner in the top of the fourth inning. The 32-year-old has had two IL stints due to right hamstring issues this season, but it's not yet clear whether his current injury will force him to return to the injured list. If Wendle misses additional time, Brian Anderson (back), Jon Berti and Willians Astudillo will likely fill in at the hot corner.

Marcano went 2-for-3 with a run scored Sunday against the Padres.

Marcano has gone 2-for-6 with two runs scored since being recalled by the Pirates on Friday. He's likely to serve a utility role with the team and has picked up starts in left field and second base since being promoted. With several lineup regulars currently sidelined in Pittsburgh, Marcano may have the chance to pick up consistent at-bats in the short term.

Cruz sustained a minor ankle injury at Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Cruz tweaked his ankle while sliding into second base during Sunday's minor-league matchup, and he left the game early. Although the 23-year-old's injury is classified as minor, it's not clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time. Cruz is slashing .220/.330/.402 with seven homers, 30 runs, 27 RBI and 10 stolen bases over 41 games with Indianapolis in 2022.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with two steals and a run scored in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Marlins.

Swanson scored a run in the fifth inning after singling and stealing a pair of bases. He entered May with an unsightly .216 average but he's hitting 312 with nine extra-base hits and six steals this month. The 28-year-old shortstop has swiped eight bags this year and he's now sporting a .778 OPS through 185 plate appearances.

Adames (ankle) is scheduled to make his second rehab appearance Monday at Triple-A Nashville, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

As a test of the health of Adames' sprained left ankle, the Brewers plan to have him play consecutive days in the minors before bringing him back from the 10-day injured list. He made a successful return to action at Single-A Carolina on Sunday, when he served as a designated hitter and went 1-for-2 with a home run and a walk. If Adames starts at shortstop Monday and comes out of the rehab game no worse for the wear, he could rejoin the Brewers for Tuesday's game in Chicago against the Cubs.

The Pirates acquired Chang from the Guardians on Sunday in exchange for cash, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Chang doesn't have minor-league options remaining, so the Pirates will need to clear room for the 26-year-old on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Dodgers to facilitate the trade. With experience at all four infield spots, the righty-hitting Chang could prove to be a valuable bench piece who should play regularly against left-handed pitching. Over 358 career MLB plate appearances, Chang has slashed .208/.265/.372 (71 wRC+) with 10 home runs and one stolen base.

Lindor went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk, three RBI and two runs in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Phillies.

After seeing his on-base streak come to an end in the second game of the Mets' May 21 doubleheader with the Rockies, Lindor has resumed raking at the dish. Over the six games that have followed, he's slashed .455/.500/1.000 with six extra-base hits, 14 RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base. He'll be in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, playing shortstop and batting third.

Adames (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Carolina on Sunday.

Adames hasn't played since May 15 due to a left ankle sprain, but he looks to be on the cusp of a return from the 10-day injured list now that he's been cleared to suit up for the Brewers' Low-A affiliate. The team hasn't indicated whether Adames will require additional rehab games to begin the upcoming week, but the Brewers will presumably see how his ankle feels coming out of Sunday's action before determining his next steps. Assuming Adames is cleared to come off the IL within the next few days, he would take back everyday duties at shortstop, with Luis Urias sliding back over to third base and Jace Peterson moving into a bench role as a result.
