Wendle will hit the bench Saturday against Seattle, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle will join the rest of the Marlins' lefties on the bench Saturday as the team goes with an all-righty lineup against southpaw Robbie Ray. Brian Anderson gets the start at third base.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Edman has shown no hesitation to run lately with four of his five stolen bases on the year coming in the last four games. The second baseman has a .318/.416/.515 slash line with three home runs, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored, a triple and two doubles through 19 contests. That's earned him time in the leadoff spot.

Turner went 0-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 win over Detroit.

Turner didn't collect any hits in the contest, but he registered a sacrifice fly in the third inning and reached base on a walk in the seventh. That extended his on-base streak to 38 games, the third-longest in the majors since 2020, per Dodger Insider. Turner also stole his fourth base of the season -- he leads the Dodgers in both steals and RBI (17).

Adames went 2-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.

The Brewers smacked 10 extra-base hits including six homers on the night, with Adames providing more than his share of the slugging. The shortstop is batting only .225 through 21 games, but he's delivering his expected power numbers with five home runs and 14 RBI.

DeJong isn't starting Saturday against Arizona.

DeJong started in the last four games and went 2-for-15 with a run and five strikeouts. Edmundo Sosa will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Mariners.

Rojas suffered a jaw contusion Thursday, but he was obviously feeling fine at the plate in this one. These were his first hits since April 22 and his average still sits below the Mendoza Line (.189).

Ahmed will sit Friday against the Cardinals.

Ahmed sits for the third time in eight games since his return from a shoulder injury last Friday. He's gone 5-for-16 with a homer and a pair of doubles but will sit here in favor of Geraldo Perdomo.

Abrams will be on the bench Friday against the Padres.

Each of Abrams' previous off days this season came against left-handers, but he'll sit here against righty Zach Thompson. He's struggled significantly at the plate through his first 14 major-league games as one might expect for a player skipping Triple-A after appearing just 42 times at the Double-A level, hitting .146/.255/.244. Ha-Seong Kim will be the shortstop Friday.

Rojas (jaw) is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Friday against the Mariners, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas was diagnosed with a jaw contusion after being hit in the head by a pitch Thursday against the Nationals, but it's apparently not a serious concern since he's back in the lineup a day later. The 33-year-old has struggled early in 2022 with a .163/.212/.224 slash line through 14 games.

Perdomo started at third base and went 0-for-2 with two walks in Thursday's 8-3 loss to the Cardinals.

This was Perdomo's second start at the hot corner, as the Diamondbacks find a way to give the prospect consistent plate appearances now that shortstop Nick Ahmed is back. It's not yet known if the organization will move Perdomo back to Triple-A once Josh Rojas (oblique) is also ready to return. In the past, the Diamondbacks have acknowledged Rojas' greatest asset is versatility, so they could have him fill a super-utility role instead of being the primary third baseman.
