Adrianza (quadriceps) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Ehire strained his left quadriceps in late March and hasn't made much progress in his rehab, as he's yet to resume running or baseball activities. His return timeline is still not entirely clear, but he'll now be ineligible to return before early June. Erasmo Ramirez had his contract selected to take Adrianza's place on the 40-man roster.

Rojas isn't starting Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas started the last eight games and hit .167 with a triple, two runs and two RBI. Joey Wendle will shift to shortstop while Brian Anderson starts at the hot corner.

Manager Dave Martinez said Thursday that Strange-Gordon (illness) doesn't yet have a timetable to return but is likely to require a rehab stint before joining the major-league club, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Strange-Gordon has missed a week due to an illness, and he'll evidently require at least one game in the minors at some point before he's cleared to rejoin the major-league club. A better timetable for the 33-year-old's return should come into focus once his rehab assignment is announced.

Witt was dropped to seventh in the order Thursday against the Twins, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

He had not hit lower than third in the order this season, but the results haven't been there. Witt is hitting .128 with zero home runs, one steal and 13:1 K:BB in 10 games. Nicky Lopez was bumped up to leadoff while Whit Merrifield shifts to second in the lineup. It remains to be seen where the righty-hitting Witt will slot in against lefties, as the lefty-hitting Lopez isn't as great of an option atop the order against same-handed pitching.

Story (head) is starting at second base and leading off Thursday against the Blue Jays.

He passed concussion protocols after being hit in the helmet by a pitch Wednesday. Story is still looking for his first home run and first stolen base on the season. He has a 33.3 K% and 6.1 BB% through eight games. This is his first time leading off with the Red Sox.

Edman went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Marlins.

The steal was his first of the season, on his first attempt. While Edman hasn't been running much to begin the season, he's otherwise been extremely effective, slashing .371/.421/.714 with three homers and seven RBI while hitting safely in all 10 games so far. That surge got the 26-year-old second baseman bumped up to the leadoff spot Wednesday for the first time this year.

Camargo went 4-for-5 with a three-run homer during Wednesday's 9-6 win at Colorado.

The 28-year-old received the start at shortstop in place of an injured Didi Gregorius (hand), and he came through for Philadelphia with a three-run shot in the seventh inning, which proved to be the difference in the contest. Camargo signed with the Phillies to presumably fill a utility role but has seen extended playing time early in the season, producing a .382/.417/.529 slash line through 11 games.

Story passed the concussion protocols after being hit in the helmet by a pitch during Wednesday's loss to the Blue Jays, and manager Alex Cora expects the infielder to play Thursday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

The 29-year-old is also undergoing some testing after the contest, but it appears he's avoided a concussion. Story remained in the game after being hit in the helmet by a 92-mph pitch during the third inning, and he may not end up missing any time despite the dangerous incident.

Baez (thumb) said that he expects to resume swinging a bat off a tee Thursday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

With Baez indicating that the swelling in his right thumb has gone down since being placed on the 10-day injured list last weekend, he appears ready to resume baseball activities. If Baez responds well to hitting off a tee, he could take batting practice Friday and put himself in position to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Saturday.

Anderson isn't starting the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Anderson was a bright spot in the lineup during Wednesday's matinee, going 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a strikeout. Danny Mendick will take over at shortstop and bat ninth.
