Jose Barrero SS | BAL
Reds' Jose Garcia: Changes name from Garcia to Barrero
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.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Rockies' Trevor Story: Slated for additional testing
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.

Rockies' Trevor Story: Placed on 10-day injured list
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.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Rockies' Trevor Story: Not starting matinee
Story (arm) isn't in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates.
Story was removed from Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader as a precautionary measure due to arm tightness. It's not yet clear whether he could return in Saturday's nightcap, but Brendan Rodgers will take over at shortstop and bat sixth in Game 1.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Astros' Carlos Correa: On base four times in loss
Correa went 1-for-2 with three walks and a run scored in Friday's 10-3 extra-innings loss to the Padres.
Two of the free passes were intentional, as San Diego elected to go after Chas McCormick and the bottom of the Houston order rather than deal with Correa. It all still counts in OBP leagues though, and over his last 14 games the shortstop is slashing .360/.475/.540 with two homers, seven RBI and 12 runs.

Tommy Edman LF | LAD
Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Swipes 10th bag
Edman went 1-for-3 with a single, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 8-6 win over the Diamondbacks.
Edman began the contest with a walk, stole second and subsequently came around to score the game's first run. He later picked up an RBI with a single in the fourth frame. Edman is tied for third in MLB with 10 thefts on the campaign and is contributing a steady .274/.329/.392 slash line across 231 plate appearances.

Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA
Braves' Ehire Adrianza: Set to work in left field
Manager Brian Snitker said Adrianza is expected to play left field on a daily basis in the absence of Marcell Ozuna (fingers), Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Ozuna is set to be sidelined for at least six weeks with two fractured fingers, and Adrianza will receive first crack at replacing him in left field. The 31-year-old has been working as a utility man and has a .239/.278/.437 slash line with three homers in 80 plate appearances this season, but he'll now take on an everyday role. Johan Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill the utility role for Atlanta.

Tim Anderson 2B | LAA
White Sox's Tim Anderson: Back in action as expected
Anderson (thumb) will return to the lineup as expected Friday against the Orioles, leading off and playing shortstop.
Anderson missed the last two games due to general soreness, but the White Sox never seemed particularly concerned with the issue. He'd been in a bit of a slump over his last seven games, going 3-for-30 at the plate, but the team will hope he's refreshed and ready to go following the pair of days off.

Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD
Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Shifts to injured list
Rojas (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
The 32-year-old suffered a dislocated left index finger Thursday, and it was only a matter of time before he shifted to the injured list. Rojas is eligible to be activated June 8, though it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined. Jazz Chisholm (ankle) and Jose Devers should work at shortstop in his absence for Miami.

Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Rejoins big-league club
Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.
The 27-year-old was optioned to Triple-A on May 20, but he'll rejoin Atlanta on Friday with Marcell Ozuna (fingers) landing on the injured list. Camargo is 0-for-13 with a walk and five strikeouts in 11 appearances this season.
