Adames went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's 14-4 win over the Cubs.

Adames took Trevor Megill deep in the eighth inning. The Cubs intentionally walked Christian Yelich, and Adames made them pay by slamming a three-run bomb to extend the lead. The 25-year-old is slashing .286/.357/.516 with six home runs, 24 RBI and 16 runs in 142 plate appearances since joining the Brewers via trade in late May. He's been especially hot lately, batting .359 with three long balls in his last 10 games.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-2 loss to the Dodgers on Monday.

Crawford's sixth-inning solo shot off Trevor Bauer brought the Giants to within one run of Los Angeles' lead but wound up being the final run of the game. Crawford's 17 home runs are third most among MLB shortstops and only four off his career high of 21 set in 2015.

Correa left Monday's game against the Orioles after being struck by a pitch on his right knee, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Correa lobbied hard to remain in the game and was later spotted walking around in the dugout after being lifted, so it initially looks as though he managed to avoid a significant injury. The Astros have yet to disclose additional details on Correa's injury.

Seager (hand) has been experiencing soreness when swinging a bat and has been shut down from hitting for now, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Manager Dave Roberts stated that Seager's hand "just isn't responding" as the team had hoped, and as a result, he hasn't swung a bat since last week, per DiGiovanna. "We're going to put hitting on back-burner and slow play it right now," stated Roberts. At this point, there is no clear timetable for Seager's return.

Reyes was recalled by the Brewers on Monday.

Reyes appeared in five minor-league games since he was sent down, and he went 4-for-19 with three doubles, three runs, two walks and four strikeouts during that time. He'll now rejoin the major-league club and should mainly serve in a depth role going forward.

Edman isn't starting Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Edman had started in each of the last 10 games, but he went 0-for-12 with two strikeouts across his last three appearances. Edmundo Sosa will start at second base and bat eighth.

Fletcher went 2-for-5 and scored a run while batting leadoff in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rays.

Prior to Sunday, Fletcher had slotted into the nine spot in the lineup in each game he played since May 15. Manager Joe Maddon decided to move him back up to the leadoff spot in the wake of Justin Upton's (back) recent move to the injured list and Fletcher's recent hot stretch. With his two hits Sunday, the versatile Fletcher extended his current hit streak to 12 games, during which he is batting .488 (21-for-43) with five doubles, nine runs and seven RBI. The torrid stretch has pushed his average up to .291 on the season, and Fletcher could stick in the leadoff spot as long as he continues hitting.

Franco went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Angels on Sunday.

The dynamic rookie snapped out of the 0-for-15 slump that had encompassed his last four games with Sunday's effort. Franco has unsurprisingly encountered some struggles since a spectacular 2-for-4 debut Tuesday that featured a three-run home run, but outside of a three-strikeout day Thursday against the Red Sox, he's encouragingly punched out on only two other occasions over his first six games.

Correa went 0-for-2 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

Correa's fourth-inning sacrifice fly produced Houston's lone score and gave the Astros a 1-0 lead, but the powerful lineup managed just three hits off Detroit pitching. He has at least one RBI in eight consecutive games and delivered a run in 12 of the last 13. He's tied for second on the club at 49 RBI behind Yuli Gurriel's 51.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in a 7-5 win over the Mariners in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader.

Anderson's been fighting it at the plate recently, going 7-for-37 (.189) with one extra-base hit over the last nine games, but he singled in his first two trips to the plate and swiped his 14th bag of the season. This is the fifth time in six seasons the shortstop has reached double-digit steals, with 26 thefts in 2018 being his career benchmark.
