Edman went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in a 12-2 loss to the Reds during the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Orlando Arcia SS | MIN
Braves' Orlando Arcia: Gets call-up
Atlanta recalled Arcia from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
Arcia will join Atlanta as a September call-up and will give the team some extra coverage in the middle infield while everyday second baseman Ozzie Albies (knee) likely misses at least the team's next two games. Ehire Adrianza and Arcia are expected to serve as the primary replacements at the keystone for however long Albies is sidelined.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Brewers' Willy Adames: Returning to action Tuesday
Adames (quadriceps) is starting at shortstop and batting second Tuesday against the Giants, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Adames sat out Monday after serving as the designated hitter the previous two games, but he'll now reclaim his starting role at shortstop after missing some time with the quadriceps injury. The 25-year-old is 3-for-19 with eight strikeouts in his past six appearances and will attempt to get back on track in San Francisco. According to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Adames will have more frequent maintenance days down to stretch to help ease his return from the quad issue.

Brewers' Willy Adames: Expects to play Tuesday
Adames (quadriceps) indicated he expects to return to the Milwaukee lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Adames was on the bench for the fourth time in six games during Monday's 3-1 win while he continues to manage a left quad injury, but he appears ready to reclaim his regular role at shortstop. He was spotted running the bases during batting practice Monday and gave reporters a thumbs up after the workout, seemingly hinting that he'll be back in action Tuesday. Confirmation on Adames' return should arrive when Milwaukee releases its lineup a few hours before the 9:45 p.m. ET opening pitch.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Rockies' Trevor Story: Homers twice Monday
Story went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Story started off with a solo shot in the seventh and then followed it up with a two-run blast in the eighth to make it a 4-3 ballgame. His two homers would end up being the only run supply for the Rockies on Monday as he's now made it back-to-back multi-hit games. A popular trade candidate at this year's deadline, Story ended up staying in Colorado and is slashing .279/.374/.581 with five homers, 13 RBI, 20 runs scored and 7:22 BB:K in 25 games this month.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Dodgers' Corey Seager: Ends homer drought
Seager went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and two strikeouts in Monday's 5-3 triumph over Atlanta.
Seager accounted for Los Angeles' final two runs in the game with his third-inning long ball off Atlanta starter Drew Smyly. The blast was Seager's seventh on the season and first since Aug. 10 as his current .439 slugging and .802 OPS would be career lows for a full season if they hold.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Brewers' Willy Adames: Out of Monday's lineup
Adames (quadriceps) is not in the lineup Monday against the Giants, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Adames served as the designated hitter the past two days after sitting out the previous three games with a quadriceps injury, and he's apparently not quite ready to play the field. Luis Urias will receive another start at shortstop in his absence while Jace Peterson continues to work at third.
