Adrianza (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Since Adrianza was moved to the 60-day injured list in late April and won't be eligible to join the Nationals until early June, he'll likely remain on his rehab assignment for the next two weeks, with a move to Triple-A Rochester expected to come at some point. For now, Adrianza will start out at Harrisburg, where he'll be able to pick up regular at-bats and prove he's recovered from the left quad strain by playing multiple spots in the field. Once he's cleared to return from the 60-day IL, Adrianza will likely displace Dee Strange-Gordon as the Nationals' top utility man.

The Cardinals promoted Winn from High-A Peoria to Double-A Springfield on Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Winn will be joined in Springfield by two of the Cardinals' other top prospects in right-handed starters Gordon Graceffo and Michael McGreevy, who were also bumped up from High-A Peoria. Over his 147 plate appearances at Peoria this season, the 20-year-old Winn produced a .349/.404/.566 slash line while going 15-for-15 on stolen-base attempts.

Edman went 0-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 7-3 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays.

The 27-year-old came to the plate with two outs in the bottom of the 10th and drew a five-pitch walk, helping set the stage for Paul Goldschmidt's walkoff grand slam. Edman also stole his 11th bag of the season in that frame, and he's tied with teammate Harrison Bader and the Orioles' Jorge Mateo for second place in the majors in that category -- one SB behind rookie Julio Rodriguez.

Witt went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to Arizona on Monday.

After Whit Merrifield led off the game with a home run, Witt followed two batters later with a solo blast of his own. The long ball was his fourth over his past 10 games. Over that span, Witt is batting .257 with five RBI, seven runs and a stolen base.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Mets.

Crawford gave the Giants an early lead with his two-run shot to center field in the second inning, but New York went on to score 13 straight runs to notch a blowout victory. The shortstop had been struggling entering the game, going 1-for-12 over his previous three contests. After hitting a career-high 24 long balls last season, Crawford has just four through 39 contests in 2022.

Volpe went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base for Double-A Somerset on Sunday.

Volpe has had a rough start to his first stint at the Double-A level, slashing .197/.316/.378 with a 24.5 percent strikeout rate through 155 plate appearances this season. However, he has been outstanding on the basepaths, notching 17 steals in 18 attempts. The 21-year-old has also been playing well of late, slashing .389/.500/.722 with a home run, three doubles, four RBI, four steals and a 4:3 BB:K during his current five-game hitting streak.

Mateo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

He'll cede shortstop duties to Chris Owings as the Orioles begin a seven-game week with a three-game set in New York. Mateo is getting a breather after a rough weekend series against the Rays in which he went hitless in 14 at-bats, bringing his season average down to .212.

Smith went 2-for-3 with a double and a run in a loss to the Angels on Sunday.

Smith mustered the only multi-hit effort of the day in yet another meager offensive output for the Athletics. The 25-year-old's .222/.243/.384 slash line leaves plenty to be desired, but he's now notably laced 11 of his 22 hits for extra bases.

Wendle (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Jupiter on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Wendle was eligible to be activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday, but he'll get some at-bats in the minors prior to rejoining the Marlins. It seems unlikely he'll return during the Marlins' upcoming two-game road trip in Tampa Bay, which begins Tuesday, but he could be back for the three-game set in Atlanta this weekend.

Berti (illness) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Jupiter on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Joey Wendle (hamstring) is also reporting to Jupiter this week to begin a rehab assignment, and both he and Berti should have similar timelines for making their respective returns to the Marlins' 26-man active roster. Berti, who has been on the COVID-19-related injured list since testing positive for the virus May 7, is expected to supplant Erik Gonzalez as the Marlins' top utility infielder once he's activated.
