Edman went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a stolen base in a loss to the Nationals on Monday.

Edman's hitting streak now sits at eight games, and the RBI was his second of the season. The 25-year-old has hit leadoff in all 10 games thus far while putting in time at both second base and right field.

DeJong, who went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in a loss to the Nationals on Monday, operated out of the No. 6 spot in the order for the first time this season.

The struggling shortstop is now slashing .114/.262/.286 across 42 plate appearances, leading to his lowest slotting in the lineup yet this season. DeJong's leadoff single in the seventh Monday snapped a seven-game hitless drought, and while his abnormally low .105 BABIP certainly hasn't helped his cause, neither has the 27-year-old's 33.3 percent strikeout rate.

Correa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 loss to Detroit.

Correa's ninth-inning homer was a mild salve on a disappointing offensive performance for the Astros. The blast extended Correa's hitting streak to eight games, during which he's slashed .375/.412/.750 with six extra-base hits and six RBI.

Adames went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 1-0 win over the Rangers.

He took Taylor Hearn deep in the seventh inning to give Tyler Glasnow and the bullpen all the run support they would need. Adames also struck out twice, giving him a shaky 2:9 BB:K over his last seven games, but he's hit both his homers on the season during that stretch while supplying four RBI and three runs.

Baez went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's loss against the Brewers.

Baez has been one of the few bright spots in an anemic Cubs offense through the first 10 games of the season, and he has hit safely in four straight contests. The slick shortstop has homered twice with five RBI during that stretch.

Anderson (hamstring) is expected to return to the lineup when first eligible Thursday against Cleveland, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Anderson suffered a left hamstring strain in the fourth game of the season. While the injury was serious enough to send him to the injured list, he's recovered well and isn't in line for a lengthy absence. Leury Garcia and Danny Mendick have been filling in for him at shortstop and should remain the primary options there for the next three games.

Crawford went 2-for-4 in Sunday's win over the Twins.

The struggling shortstop's first multi-hit effort of the season pushed his average over the Mendoza Line for the first time as well. Crawford has actually reached safely in seven of his first nine games, but he's yet to notch an extra-base hit and has generated an anemic 14.3 percent hard-hit rate through 34 plate appearances.

Mondesi (oblique) is still resting to let his injury fully heal as of Monday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Mondesi has been on the injured list since the start of the regular season after he tweaked his oblique late in spring training. The 25-year-old has been resting as the team doesn't want to rush him back and risk a setback that would force him to miss additional time. Manager Mike Matheny declined to give a timetable for Mondesi's return Monday, but Nicky Lopez should continue to fill in at shortstop while Mondesi is sidelined.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Dodgers.

Turner singled in each of his first three at-bats, as he was responsible for three of the five hits Kershaw gave up in the game. The 27-year-old also swiped his first bag of the season and turned in quite a productive fantasy performance on an otherwise very unproductive day at the plate for the Nationals. Turner has been top four in MLB in steals each of the last four seasons, so his stolen base Sunday will likely be the first of many to come.

Baez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and three strikeouts in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Pirates.

Baez provided the Cubs' lone run with a solo shot in his first at-bat Sunday, his third home run of the year. The shortstop has now recorded hits in each of the past three games and has gone 5-for-11 with two home runs, three RBI and five strikeouts during that time.
