Rojas went 4-for-4 with a triple, a walk, an RBI and two runs scored during Tuesday's loss to the Orioles.

Rojas had himself a hot night at the plate, tying a career high with four hits, including a triple in the first inning and an RBI single in the sixth. The 32-year-old has now hit safely in five straight games, raising his season slash line to .327/.403/.455.

Pena needs surgery on his left wrist and is expected to be sidelined for a few months, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Pena is easily Houston's top position player prospect who is anywhere close to the majors. He should spend the bulk of the year at Double-A once he recovers from the procedure.

Adrianza will start in right field and bat leadoff Tuesday against the Yankees.

Adrianza will fill in for one of Atlanta's everyday players for the fourth game in a row. After logging a start for a resting Austin Riley on Friday, Adrianza closed the weekend with consecutive starts at second base in place of a banged-up Ozzie Albies (calf). Though Albies is back in action for Tuesday's series opener, Ronald Acuna is sitting out with an abdominal injury, allowing Adrianza will pick up his first turn in the outfield. Acuna is considered day-to-day, so Adrianza's run of regular playing time could soon be coming to an end.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 4-1 win over the Royals.

The bottom of the order did most of the damage for the Rays in this one, as the trio of Joey Wendle, Adames and Kevin Kiermaier combined for five hits, four runs and two RBI. The steal was Adames' first of the year, but perhaps more importantly, he didn't strike out -- the first time he's avoided fanning in a start since April 3. On the season, the shortstop has a shaky .204/.232/.370 slash line with two homers, four RBI and six runs through 17 games.

Edman went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run in Monday's 12-5 win over the Nationals.

Getting the start in right field and hitting in his usual leadoff spot, the 25-year-old took Joe Ross deep in the third inning -- one of five homers by the Cards on the night. Edman has had a strong start to the season, slashing .294/.351/.441 through 16 games with two home runs, three steals, four RBI and eight runs.

DeJong went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk, five RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 12-5 win over the Nationals.

The shortstop took Joe Ross deep in the second and fifth innings, with the latter shot a grand slam that blew the game wide open. DeJong has a modest six-game hitting streak going that includes three homers over the last three days, pushing his slash line up to .189/.317/.472.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Seager's only hard contact of the night came in the third inning when he took Justus Sheffield deep to center field to cut the Dodgers' deficit to 3-2. He had a chance to make some more noise with two men on and one out in the ninth but grounded into a 4-6-3 double play to end the game. The long ball has been Seager's only source of production lately, as the 26-year-old has just two hits (both home runs) in his last 18 at-bats. He'll look to get things rolling again in Tuesday's series finale before the Padres come to town Thursday for a highly anticipated four-game series.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two stolen bases in Monday's 11-4 loss to Boston.

Anderson got the White Sox up in the first inning, when he singled and scored on an RBI double from Luis Robert. That lead was quickly and emphatically lost in the bottom half of the inning, as Boston scored six runs. Since coming off the injured list, Anderson is 9-for-18 with a double, a home run, two RBI, five runs scored, and three steals.

DeJong, who went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts in a loss to the Phillies on Sunday, has a five-game hitting streak but just a .163/.293/.347 slash across 58 plate appearances.

DeJong's trio of home runs have prevented the early portion of his season from being a complete fantasy wasteland, but he's done little else to redeem himself to those who invested some draft capital in him. Even the struggling shortstop's current five-game hit streak is comprised entirely of one-hit outings and four singles outside of a solo homer. As was often the case last season, lack of consistent contact has been a pervasive problem for DeJong -- he's currently sporting a career-worst 34.5 percent strikeout rate.

Wendle went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a win over the Yankees on Sunday.

The hot-hitting infielder launched his second round tripper in as many days off Darren O'Day in the visitors' half of the ninth, giving the Rays a valuable insurance run. Wendle carries a six-game hitting streak and .340/.365/.600 slash across 52 plate appearances into the start of a three-game set against the Royals on Monday night.
