Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays.

The shortstop continues to tear the cover off the ball, as Bogaerts has five three-hit performances in the last 10 contests. The hot streak has pushed his slash line on the season to .362/.380/.507, but he doesn't yet have the counting stats to match with one homer, one steal, seven RBI and 10 runs through 17 games.

Wendle went 2-for-3 with a walk, a three-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.

Getting another start at shortstop and hitting seventh, Wendle opened the scoring on the night by taking Josiah Gray deep in the fourth inning, giving Sandy Alcantara and the Miami bullpen all the run support they would need. Wendle has reeled off three straight multi-hit performances, and on the season he's slashing .362/.423/.532 with a homer, three steals, eight runs and eight RBI through 14 games.

Edman went 0-for-2 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Mets.

Edman didn't picked up one of the Cardinals' three hits, but he was still able to find ways aboard Tuesday. The 26-year-old then used his speed to get into scoring position, but the Cardinals were unable to bring him home. The second baseman is slashing. 283/.397/.509 with three home runs, eight RBI, six runs scored and three stolen bases through 16 contests. He's led off in four straight games, but he's unlikely to see more than a split of that spot in the lineup with fellow switch-hitter Dylan Carlson.

Adames went 4-for-5 with a double, two home runs and seven total RBI in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.

The Brewers won a 12-8 slugfest and Adames did the heavy lifting. He hit a two-run homer in the first inning, drove in two on a double in the fifth inning and later went yard a second time to cap a six-run sixth for Milwaukee. He also homered Monday, so Adames has more extra-base hits in the last two days than he had in his first 16 games of the 2022 season.

Baez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Twins.

The Twins scored two in the ninth inning for a walkoff, 5-4 victory, but Baez did all he could to give the Tigers a win as he crushed a three-run home run in the eighth. The shortstop is now up to two home runs and eight RBI across only seven games, to go along with an outstanding .972 OPS. Baez has certainly hit the ground running with his new team.

Witt went 2-for-5 with an RBI double in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

Witt was dropped from the top of the order April 21, but he has secured a hit in all five games since then. The rookie's average was at .128 after the first 10 games of his career, but the hitting streak has it back above the Mendoza-line at .203. It's possible he'll find his way back up to the top of the order if he can stay hot.

Franco went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in an 8-4 loss Tuesday against the Mariners.

Franco homered off Matt Koch in the seventh inning. The homer ended an 0-for-12 mini-slump that saw his batting average drop below .350 for the first time all season. There's little to worry about, as the 21-year-old has homered four times in the last six games and has 12 extra-base hits in 16 appearances. Despite striking out twice Tuesday, the shortstop has only fanned seven times in 71 plate appearances this year.

Mondesi was removed from Tuesday's game against the White Sox with left knee discomfort, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

The 26-year-old suffered the injury during the sixth inning while returning to first base on a pickoff attempt, and he was promptly lifted for a pinch runner. Mondesi continues to be evaluated, but manager Mike Matheny said the initial scans of the injury are encouraging, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com.

Mondesi was removed from Tuesday's game against the White Sox with an apparent leg injury, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Mondesi reached on an infield single during the sixth inning and appeared to suffer the injury while returning to first base on a pickoff attempt. The 26-year-old finished 1-for-2 with an RBI and a walk and should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.

Ahmed is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

He'll sit for the second time in five games since he returned from a season-opening stint on the injured list while recovering from a shoulder injury. Geraldo Perdomo will draw the start at shortstop Tuesday, but Ahmed should see the bulk of the playing time at the position once his injury is further in the rearview mirror.
