Edman is out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The 25-year-old operated as the Cardinals' fill-in shortstop over the last couple weeks in place of Paul DeJong, but DeJong makes his return from the COVID-19 injured list Sunday. Edman began the season as the everyday starter at third base and could return to that role with the team nearing full strength.

DeJong was activated off the COVID-19 injured list Sunday and is starting at shortstop and batting seventh against the Reds, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The 27-year-old was previously expected to be activated Monday, but he'll rejoin the team a day early after being sidelined all month following his positive test for COVID-19. DeJong went 4-for-17 with one home run in five games before the Cardinals' outbreak, and he should reclaim the everyday role at shortstop now that he's ready to go.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas returned from the injured list Thursday and went 0-for-3 during Game 1. Jonathan Villar will shift over to shortstop in the nightcap, while Jon Berti starts at the keystone.

Camargo went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in an 11-2 win over the Phillies on Friday.

Camargo had an RBI double to deep center field which capped off a four-run third inning and then got the fun started again in the fifth with a two-run double that ignited a seven-run inning. His two RBI on the day were his first since Aug. 12 as he continues to struggle at the plate while filling in for the injured Ozzie Albies (wrist) at second base.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Friday's win over the Nationals.

In his first at-bat after coming off the COVID-19 injured list, Rojas took Patrick Corbin yard to account for all of the Marlins' runs in a 3-2 victory. The shortstop has had an incredible start to the season despite his long absence from the lineup, going 9-for-14 (.643) with two homers, a steal, five runs and eight RBI.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Marlins.

The shortstop took Elieser Hernandez deep in the third inning to bring the Nats to within a run of the Marlins, but neither team scored again. Turner is slashing .289/.350/.522 with five homers, 10 RBI and 15 runs, but his one steal in four attempts remains disappointing.

Story went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's loss to the Dodgers.

Story produced his 16th RBI of the season with a single to right field that scored Drew Butera in the top of the sixth inning, and that was the biggest highlight for a Colorado offense that went 4-for-31 as a team against the Dodgers' pitching staff. Story, who rode a nine-game hitting streak earlier this month, is hitting .274 with a .834 OPS in 84 August at-bats.

The tentative plan is for DeJong (not injury related) to rejoin the Cardinals on Monday, Mark Saxon of The Athletic reports.

DeJong will spend the weekend working out at the team's alternate camp site before hopefully rejoining the Cardinals ahead of Monday's series opener against the Royals. The shortstop has been sidelined all month following a positive COVID-19 test, leaving Tommy Edman to handle primary shortstop duties.

Seager is not starting Thursday against the Mariners.

Seager has started the past seven games, going 7-for-31 with three home runs, 10 RBI and a 2:5 BB:K over that stretch. Chris Taylor is covering shortstop in his stead, with Enrique Hernandez entering the lineup at second base.

Rojas (not injury related) was activated from the injured list Thursday.

As expected, Rojas has been cleared to rejoin the Marlins after missing more than three weeks due to a positive COVID-19 test. Prior to landing on the IL, Rojas appeared in three games and went 7-for-10 with a home run, five RBI and a stolen base. He should immediately reclaim everyday shortstop duties for Miami.
