Rojas (finger) is beginning tee work and taking ground balls Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

This marks a notable step in Rojas' return from a fractured and dislocated left index finger. With a .275 average before the injury, Rojas was undeniably one of the Marlins' most consistent hitters and has been sorely missed since landing on the injured list May 28.

Williams was promoted to the Phillies from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Williams slashed an impressive .352/.439/.465 across 82 plate appearances at Triple-A before going off to help Team USA qualify for the Olympics last week. He'll now get his first call-up to the big leagues, and he could appear at multiple positions for Philadelphia.

Story (elbow) isn't included in the Colorado lineup for Tuesday's game in Miami, an indication he won't be activated from the 10-day injured list.

Per Thomas Harding of MLB.com, manager Bud Black said last week that Story was on track to come off the IL on Tuesday when first eligible, but the Rockies evidently determined that their star shortstop will need at least one more day to recuperate from an inflamed right elbow. Brendan Rodgers will get another start at shortstop in the series opener while Story remains on the shelf.

Adrianza is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Adrianza will get a rest Tuesday after starting in each of Atlanta's previous five games. Austin Riley returns to his usual spot at third base as Abraham Almonte mans left field Tuesday.

Baez is being held out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against San Diego due to a bruised right thumb, but he could be available off the bench, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Baez was forced to leave Sunday's matchup as a result of the injury, but this diagnosis is great news for the Cubs. He'll be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Baez (thumb) is not starting Monday against the Padres.

Baez left Sunday's game against the Giants with a sore right thumb , and the issue will keep him on the bench for at least one game. The extent of the injury remains unclear. Sergio Alcantara will start at shortstop in his absence.

Marcano was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Monday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Marcano's latest stint on the big-league roster, his third of the year, lasted eight days. He went just 2-for-15 at the plate. Brian O'Grady was recalled in a corresponding move.

DeJong (ribs) is 1-for-5 with a double and a run in two rehab games with Triple-A Memphis.

The 27-year-old has seemingly remained free of setbacks, but he's yet to play a full game in the field. DeJong may not need much longer to be deemed ready for activation, but the Cardinals may want to see him log a full nine on defense before freeing him from the injured list.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Angels.

Crawford reached base safely three times capped off by two extra-base hits. He was a part of four of the Mariners nine runs. The 26-year-old is slashing just .263/.326/.376 with three home runs, 21 RBI and 26 runs in 227 plate appearances. He isn't much of a power threat, but his .263 average is his highest of his career.

Bogaerts went 2-for-3 with a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

The Red Sox completed the sweep of the Yankees in New York when Bogaerts' two-run, two-out single in the top of the 10th held up in the bottom half of the inning. It was the fourth consecutive game in which he's hit safely, as he's 7-for-17 during that stretch after recently snapping an 0-for-24 skid. The Red Sox scored 11 of their 18 runs in the series with two outs.
