Story exited Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cubs with an apparent injury, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

Story took the field before the bottom of the 10th but was removed before the inning began. It's unclear what injury the 28-year-old is dealing with, so he should be considered day-to-day until further updates are provided. Brendan Rodgers shifted to shortstop and Garrett Hampson moved to second base for the 10th inning.

Edman went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-2, extra-inning with over the Tigers

Edman has stolen a base in consecutive games after going 16 contests without doing so. He's hit .349 in his last 10 games, albeit with only three extra-base hits and four RBI. Edman has become a steady presence atop St. Louis' lineup, hitting well enough that Dylan Carlson, back from a wrist injury, appears to be the No. 3 hitter going forward despite having hit leadoff in 15 of his last 20 games before going on the injured list.

Crawford (back) is starting Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Crawford exited Tuesday's win due to lower-back tightness, but he'll remain in the lineup Wednesday. Across his last four appearances, the 34-year-old has gone 4-for-13 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and two walks.

Rojas isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas has gone 2-for-12 with a walk and three strikeouts across his last three appearances, and he'll get a day off Wednesday. Jazz Chisholm will shift to shortstop while Isan Diaz starts at second base.

Adames (quadriceps) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Adames' exclusion from the lineup was expected after he exited Tuesday's contest with left quadriceps discomfort. Manager Craig Counsell didn't sound too concerned about the injury following Tuesday's matchup, and the 25-year-old is considered day-to-day.

Lindor isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Lindor returned from the injured list Tuesday and went 0-for-4 in the series opener against San Francisco, but he'll head back to the bench as he's eased back into action. Javier Baez will shift to shortstop while Jonathan Villar enters the lineup at third base.

Williams will start in center field and bat eighth Wednesday against the Rays, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

With southpaw Ryan Yarbrough on the hill for Tampa Bay, the righty-hitting Williams will check into center field as a replacement for the lefty-hitting Odubel Herrera. The Phillies appear to value the defensive versatility Williams brings off the bench, but he's unlikely to move out of a small-side platoon role unless the team loses an everyday player to an injury.

Ahmed isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Ahmed went 1-for-7 with a walk and a strikeout across the last two games and will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last four contests. Josh Rojas will start at shortstop while Josh VanMeter enters the lineup at second base.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a 5-2 victory versus San Diego on Tuesday.

Turner used his legs to help the Dodgers tack on a run in the eighth inning, doubling to lead off the frame before swiping third base and coming home on a sacrifice fly. In 16 games with the Dodgers, the infielder is slashing .323/.358/.484 with a home run, five RBI, 14 runs and four stolen bases.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Tigers.

The second baseman singled to lead off the Cardinals' half of the first inning and subsequently stole second base, though he was ultimately stranded at third. He also knocked in a run with an eighth-inning groundout. Edman's theft brought him to 20 on the campaign, good for fourth in the National League. He is batting .342 (13-for-38) over his past nine games.
