Abrams will miss the rest of the season after being diagnosed with a fractured left tibia and a sprained MCL, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

The young shortstop suffered the injury Wednesday on a collision at second base, and it will bring his 2021 campaign to an abrupt end. The 20-year-old had a .290/.357/.414 slash line with two homers, 14 doubles, 23 RBI, 26 runs and 13 stolen bases through 42 games at Double-A San Antonio this season. Abrams, the Padres' top prospect, will have about seven months of recovery time before the start of spring training.

Bogaerts is out of the lineup Sunday at Oakland, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Bogaerts started the past 19 games and will receive a breather after posting a .925 OPS during that stretch. Marwin Gonzalez will cover shortstop in his place Sunday.

Cruz is being examined by team doctors in Pittsburgh for a sore forearm, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Cruz hasn't seen the field for Double-A Altoona since Wednesday, and he'll now head to Pittsburgh to be evaluated. GM Ben Cherington doesn't believe it's a serious issue, so the 22-year-old may not be sidelined for long.

Edman went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles in a loss to the Rockies on Saturday.

Edman's surge continued out of the top of the order, with Saturday's tally serving as his third multi-hit effort in the last five contests. The outfielder's current five-game hitting streak now includes Saturday's two doubles, a triple, four RBI, two walks, a pair of steals and four runs.

Crawford went 3-for-4 with a triple, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over Arizona.

Crawford has feasted on Arizona pitching this weekend, going 7-for-12 through the first three games of the series. Saturday was the shortstop's second straight three-hit game and his fifth this year. Through 276 plate appearances, he's posted a .264/.348/.537 slash line with 17 home runs, 52 RBI, 46 runs scored and six stolen bases. His triple Saturday was his first since he had a pair in the 2019 season.

Diaz (hand) hit off a tee Saturday for the first time since landing on the injured list June 8, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Houston manager Dusty Baker said Diaz is "still a ways away" from returning. He was initially given a six-to-eight week prognosis, and it would seem logical the Astros give him until after the All-Star break. Houston has been getting by with a mix of Robel Garcia, Taylor Jones and Abraham Toro while their top utility man is sidelined.

Turner (finger) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Turner will be sidelined for the fourth straight game Sunday as he continues to recover from a jammed finger on his left hand. Alcides Escobar will receive another start at shortstop in his place.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-5 loss to the Tigers.

Anderson went seven games without an extra-base hit before his two doubles Saturday. He came around to score on Jose Abreu singles. He leads the White Sox with 46 runs over 68 games. The shortstop extended a relatively quiet hitting streak to six games, during which he is slashing .296/.296/.370.

Wendle is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

The 31-year-old has hit a lowly .177 off left-handed pitching in 2021, so he understandably gets a day off as the Rays face Robbie Ray. Wendle has struggled overall recently, hitting .156 with just one RBI in his last nine games. Wander Franco gets the start at third base Sunday.

The Braves recalled Arcia from Triple-A Gwinnett following Saturday's game against the Marlins.

The 26-year-old went 1-for-11 in four games with the Brewers before being dealt to Atlanta on April 6. He has excelled at Triple-A this season, hitting .303 with 13 homers and 28 RBI in 201 at-bats. Arcia has played 533 of his 542 career games on the left side of the infield, but Atlanta hopes to give him opportunities in left field, which has been an offensive void since Marcell Ozuna (finger) left the team. Arcia played left field in his last week with Triple-A Gwinnett, per David O'Brien of The Athletic.
