Rojas went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Nationals.

He got the Marlins on the board with a fifth-inning shot off Joan Adon. Rojas has only two homers on the year -- the other coming April 29 -- but the shortstop has been looking better in May, slashing .271/.300/.396 over his last 14 games.

The Twins reinstated Correa (finger) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Correa sustained a finger injury May 5, and although he avoided a fracture, he still sat out nearly two weeks. The 27-year-old will serve as Minnesota's clear top shortstop now that he's healthy, while Royce Lewis will head to the minors to get more consistent playing time at positions other than shortstop. Prior to his absence, Correa hit .255/.320/.372 with two homers, five doubles, 12 runs and 11 RBI over 24 games.

The Brewers placed Adames on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a high left ankle sprain.

The transaction is retroactive to Monday, so Adames will be eligible to come off the IL as soon as May 26. Though Adames has shown improvement since initially suffering the injury Sunday, the progress he made wasn't significant enough for the Brewers to feel optimistic about his chances of returning to the lineup by the end of the week. While Adames is on the shelf, Luis Urias is expected to take over as the everyday shortstop, with Milwaukee likely to run out a platoon of Jace Peterson and Mike Brosseau at third base.

Correa (finger) will be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's series finale in Oakland, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Manager Rocco Baldelli said after Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Athletics that Royce Lewis would be sent back to Triple-A St. Paul, clearing a spot on the 26-man active roster for Correa, who hasn't played since May 5 due to the right middle finger bone bruise. Though Lewis performed as arguably the Twins' top hitter during his 11-game run as the everyday shortstop, Minnesota won't be too disappointed to usher Correa back into the lineup. Prior to suffering the injury, Correa was hitting .255 with two home runs across 103 plate appearances in his first season in Minnesota.

Pena went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Pena returned from a four-game absence caused by a knee injury, and he recorded his seventh home run of the season in his first plate appearance. He's also riding a 10-game hitting streak, during which he has gone yard three times while driving in 11 and scoring six runs. Pena has put together an impressive .282/.341/.536 line across 123 plate appearances to begin the campaign.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Angels.

Seager launched his team-leading eighth homer in the first inning off Reid Detmers, giving Texas an early lead. He later initiated a comeback with a leadoff double in the eighth, setting the stage for a seven-run inning. Seager is batting .242 (32-for-132) for a team that ranks 27th in MLB with a .219 average.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a triple, an RBI, a run a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base during Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Edman also went 1-for-3 during the matinee. The 27-year-old has a .241/.343/.379 slash line with one home run, seven RBI, 13 runs and four stolen bases through 15 games in May.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Turner has been bothered by a sore calf over the past few days, but the shortstop remains "playable," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Turner certainly didn't appear bothered by the calf issue Tuesday, as he started both games of the team's doubleheader and went 3-for-8 with a home run, two runs and five RBI. He was replaced with a pinch runner in the sixth inning of the nightcap, but that was largely due to the fact that the Dodgers were ahead 11-2 at the time. The injury appears to be very minor, and it's unlikely that it will cause Turner to miss time going forward, though it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get a rest day at some point since he's started 13 games over the past 11 days.

Crawford struck his ankle with his bat on a swing during Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays but expects to be in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Crawford limped to first base on his ninth-inning groundout after hitting himself with his bat and immediately went into the clubhouse with the training staff, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. The 27-year-old went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Tuesday's contest and is hitless for the series.

Fletcher (hip) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The 27-year-old is expected to miss multiple months after undergoing surgery to repair the adductor muscles in both legs last week, so it's not a major surprise he was moved to the 60-day IL to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Fletcher will be eligible to be activated in mid-July, but his recovery timeline likely won't come into focus until he's able to resume baseball activities.
