Edman is out of the lineup Sunday at Arizona, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Edman started the first 52 games of the season and will receive the day off Sunday. Matt Carpenter will start at the keystone in the series finale for the Cardinals.

Marcano was recalled to the Padres from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

This will mark Marcano's third stint with the major-league club this season. He's recorded six hits and four walks in 33 big-league plate appearances thus far. Right-handed pitcher Aaron Northcraft was sent to El Paso in a corresponding roster move.

Edman went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Edman played the table-setting role out of the top of the order extremely well, extending his on-base streak to 11 games in the process. The 26-year-old has been stellar across the board during that stretch, producing a .326/.385/.543 slash line with four doubles, two home runs and nine RBI across 52 plate appearances.

Diaz went 1-for-5 with a walk in Saturday's 11-8 extra-innings loss to the Padres.

Diaz made his second consecutive start as the designated hitter and third overall (he had one start in LF) as the Astros work around injuries to Yordan Alvarez (wrist) and Michael Brantley (hamstring).

Correa went 2-for-4 with a home run, two walks and three total RBI in Saturday's 12-inning loss versus San Diego.

Correa opened the scoring in the contest with a two-run shot to right field in the fourth inning. He later knocked in another run with a double in the 10th, though Houston couldn't secure the victory. Saturday marked the third straight game in which Correa has reached at least three times. He has collected five hits (including two homers) and six walks over that span.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 win over Texas.

Crawford led off the seventh with home run to right off Texas starter Mike Foltynewicz to break a 1-1 tie. This was Crawford's second home run in 52 games this year after hitting two in 53 last season, as he obviously isn't much of a power threat.

Mondesi went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a stolen base during Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Twins.

The 25-year-old took Taylor Rogers deep with a two-run shot during the ninth inning for his first homer of the season, which brought the Royals within a run. Mondesi is 7-for-18 with a home run, three doubles, three RBI and a stolen bases through five games since being activated from the injured list Tuesday.

Garcia changed his last name to Barrero on Saturday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

The name change honors his mother, who passed away recently from a COVID-related illness. Barrero is currently away from his teammates at Double-A Chattanooga due to her death but started the season quite well, hitting .323 with four homers in 16 games.

Story (elbow) will undergo additional testing Monday or Tuesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Story was placed on the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation Saturday. Manager Bud Black said that Story's elbow injury is similar to the one he had in 2018, but the issue isn't as serious this time. He'll likely test his elbow next week, and a return timetable could be established based on how he feels afterward. Brendan Rodgers should serve as the primary shortstop in Story's absence.

Story was placed on the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation Saturday, retroactive to May 28.

Story left Thursday's nightcap against the Mets as a "precautionary measure," but he'll now miss additional time after he was diagnosed with inflammation. Brendan Rodgers should serve as the primary shortstop in Story's absence while infielder Matt Adams (shin) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. It's not yet clear whether Story will be forced to spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the injured list.
