Story went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over Arizona.

Story got the Rockies on the board with an RBI single in the second inning but saved his theatrics for the end of the contest. He unloaded a 438-foot shot to dead center in the bottom of the ninth to walk it off against Stefan Crichton, giving him five homers this season. The 28-year-old shortstop has extra-base hits in three straight games and currently owns a .770 OPS.

Swanson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-1 win over Pittsburgh.

The shortstop provided some insurance with his sixth-inning blast off Pittsburgh starter JT Brubaker. The hot-hitting Swanson has gone 10-for-19 (.526) with three homers, four doubles, four RBI and six runs scored in his last five games. The 27-year-old's season slash line is up to .237/.295/.445 with eight homers, 19 RBI, 20 runs scored and two stolen bases in 47 contests overall.

Abrams was removed from Saturday's Double-A contest after pulling up lame at first base, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Abrams came up limping after being thrown out at first base on a groundout in the fifth inning. He was subsequently removed from the game and is not in the lineup for San Antonio's Sunday contest. The nature of Abrams' issue has yet to be announced, and it is unclear whether he'll be out beyond Sunday. The Padres are likely to proceed with caution given the 20-year-old's vaunted prospect status.

Ahmed is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

Ahmed started the first two games of the series but will take a seat for Sunday's contest. Josh Rojas will operate at shortstop while Josh Reddick starts in right field.

The Brewers optioned Reyes to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Reyes posted a decent average after being called up April 26, hitting .270 in 37 at-bats. It was a completely empty average, however, as he failed to walk once and drove in just one run. That being said, Reyes' defensive versatility may earn him another stint on the big-league roster at some point in the future, if injuries create such an opening.

Adames is batting sixth and playing shortstop Saturday against the Reds, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Adames begins his Brewers career one day after being dealt by the Rays, with whom he spent his first three-plus MLB seasons. A defensively-sound shortstop, the 25-year-old figures to take the reins from the error-prone Luis Urias and should be an everyday staple at the position for Milwaukee.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Friday's 20-1 rout of the Pirates.

His seventh-inning blast off Chasen Shreve was one of seven Atlanta homers on the night. Swanson has gone yard in back-to-back games while reeling off three straight multi-hit efforts, and he's hitting .296 (21-for-71) in May with five of his seven home runs on the season.

Adames and Trevor Richards were acquired by the Brewers from the Rays on Friday in exchange for relievers J.P. Feyereisen and Drew Rasmussen, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Luis Urias has struggled defensively at shortstop since the departure of Orlando Arcia, prompting Milwaukee to explore the trade market. Adames has struggled at the plate so far in 2021 with a .625 OPS, but he posted a .755 OPS across his first three seasons in the big-leagues. He figures to take over the starting role at shortstop for the Brewers once he officially joins his new team.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Pirates.

Swanson homered in the sixth inning off Wil Crowe. He scored on William Contreras' three-run home run in the second inning. It was his third three-hit game and second game with multiple extra-base hits this season. The 27-year-old is slashing .222/.281/.395 with six home runs, 16 RBI, 16 runs and a pair of steals in 179 plate appearances. He leads Atlanta with a 31.4 percent strikeout rate.

Rojas went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-0 win over Philadelphia.

Rojas opened the scoring with a solo shot off Philadelphia starter David Hale in the third inning. While not known for his power, Rojas has put together a solid season across the board. The shortstop has a .291/.360/.466 slash line, three home runs, 15 RBI, 29 runs scored and four stolen bases in 41 games. He'll remain near the top of the order, although Rojas has typically hit second when second baseman Jazz Chisholm is in the lineup.
