Adames went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 11-6 win over the Reds.

The shortstop was a key part of Milwaukee's rally from an early deficit, taking Tyler Mahle deep in the fifth inning for a two-run shot and then lacing a two-run double in the eighth. Adames has been on fire ever since the trade from Tampa Bay, slashing .299/.380/.559 through 49 games for his new club with 10 of his 15 homers on the year.

Baez went 2-for-4 with a run, strikeout and stolen base in a 5-1 victory against the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Baez singled, stole second and scored in the second to get Chicago on the board and later singled in the eighth to record two hits in consecutive games for the third time this month. The shortstop is now slashing a scorching .393/.394/.750 in nine July games, while he swiped a base for the first time since June 5.

Mateo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 24-8 win over Washington.

The 26-year-old was brought into the lopsided contest as a pinch hitter for Manny Machado in the sixth inning. Mateo would put the cherry on top of San Diego's franchise-best run total with his ninth-inning blast. It was just his second homer in 91 plate appearances this year. Mateo has added six RBI, nine runs scored and three stolen bases as a depth option this year.

Crawford exited Friday's game against the Cardinals in the top of the eighth inning after tweaking his left hamstring, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The Giants were up 7-2 late in the game, so they would have pulled Crawford even if the injury was very minor. Crawford went 1-for-4 and is hitting .280 with a .915 OPS on the year.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Phillies. He went 2-for-4 with a double in the nightcap.

All three of Rojas' hits during the matinee came off southpaw Matt Moore. Rojas came into the game hitting .338/.420/.481 against opposite-handed pitchers. He is a nice streaming option in leagues with daily moves when the Marlins face a left-hander.

Lindor exited Friday's game against the Pirates with right side soreness, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Side soreness can sometimes lead to an oblique injury designation, but it sounds like Lindor is day-to-day for now. He went 1-for-3 prior to exiting and was replaced by Luis Guillorme. Lindor will be examined Saturday morning.

Lindor was removed from Friday's game against the Pirates due to an apparent right side injury, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Lindor appeared to reach for his right side after a swing in the top of the fifth inning, and he didn't immediately run toward first base when he grounded out in the at-bat. Luis Guillorme took his place at shortstop in the bottom of the fifth, and the severity of Lindor's injury isn't yet known. Prior to his departure, he went 1-for-3.

Berti isn't starting the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

Berti started in Friday's matinee and went 1-for-2 with a double, a run, an RBI and a strikeout. Joe Panik will start at the hot corner and bat fifth.

Camargo was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

The 27-year-old was recalled as bench depth Sunday with Ronald Acuna (knee) out for the season, but he'll now return to the minors after Joc Pederson was traded from the Cubs to Atlanta on Thursday. Camargo has hit .305 with 34 runs and 24 RBI in 46 games at Triple-A Gwinnett this year.

Reyes was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Reyes is no longer needed with Kolten Wong (calf) returning from the injured list. Reyes has bounced between the majors and minors throughout the season but has done little to stake a claim to a regular role, hitting .212/.255/.250 in 55 trips to the plate.
