Adames (quadriceps) won't be in the lineup Wednesday against the Reds, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The quadriceps issue apparently surfaced during last week's series against the Cardinals, though Adames was able to play through the injury until it flared up during Tuesday's opening frame. Manager Craig Counsell downplayed the issue, but the shortstop could still end up spending an extra day or two on the bench after Wednesday to help avoid aggravating the injury.

Crawford was removed from Tuesday's win over the Mets with lower-back tightness, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with an RBI prior to being lifted for a pinch hitter during the seventh inning. Manager Gabe Kapler said the veteran shortstop should be considered day-to-day with the injury.

Adames was removed from Tuesday's game against the Reds with left quadriceps discomfort, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Adames doubled during the opening frame and came around to score, and he apparently picked up the injury while running the bases. The Brewers labeled his removal as precautionary, so the 25-year-old could end up making a quick return to the field. Jace Peterson entered the lineup in his place and is playing third base, while Luis Urias moves to shortstop.

The Brewers recalled Reyes from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Reyes has hit .245 with a home run and nine RBI at Triple-A since being optioned Aug. 2, but he now gets called up to replace Eduardo Escobar (hamstring) on Milwaukee's active roster. In the big leagues this season, Reyes has hit .214 with three doubles and two RBI in 56 at-bats.

Lindor (oblique) was activated off the injured list Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Lindor had mentioned returning without a rehab assignment previously and he'll wind up doing just that, with his first game action in over a month coming at the big-league level. It's possible he's handled cautiously initially, but the Mets don't really have any time to waste, as they sit 6.5 games back in the NL East and seven games back of a Wild Card spot.

Story is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

After starting each of the past eight games and batting only .200 over that stretch, Story will get Monday off to clear his head. Brendan Rodgers will step in at shortstop Story.

Crawford went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 win over Oakland.

The shortstop was on the front end of a double steal with Kris Bryant in the ninth inning. Crawford has 10 stolen bases this year, the first time he's reached double-digits in his career. He's added a strong .300/.367/.532 slash line with 19 home runs, 70 RBI and 58 runs scored across 403 plate appearances. He'll likely continue to hit near the middle of the order while enjoying a near-everyday role.

Swanson went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run Sunday in Atlanta's 3-1 win over Baltimore.

Swanson didn't produce any home runs or steals during a six-game week that included visits to Miami and Baltimore, but he remained a key cog in the lineup for one of the majors' hottest teams. While making all six of his starts in the No. 5 spot in the batting order, Swanson provided a .318/.444/.364 slash line during the past week to help Atlanta extend its winning streak to nine.

Story went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Sunday in the Rockies' 8-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Heading into the Rockies' homestand this past week, Story had maintained a 1.152 OPS through his first 13 games of August, but he surprisingly wasn't able to keep the momentum going at Coors Field. After turning in back-to-back 0-for-4 days in the final two games of the series with Arizona, Story concluded the six-game homestand with a .136/.240/.409 slash line.

Baez went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI, a HBP and a strikeout as the Mets defeated the Dodgers 7-2 on Sunday.

Playing in his first game since Aug. 10 due to a back injury, Baez doubled home a run before scoring to get New York on the board in the first inning, doubled and scored again in the seventh and was hit by a pitch in the ninth. This was Baez's second multi-hit game in 11 appearances with his new team, and he'll look to use this performance as a launching pad for the stretch run.
