Edman went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run and a stolen base in a 3-2 victory versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

The Cardinals' leadoff hitter singled and stole second base in the fifth frame before coming around to score the game's first run on Nolan Arenado's two-run homer. He came up with a big single in the following inning, driving in a run that proved to provide the winning margin in the contest. Edman is slashing a modest .259/.301/.364 on the season but has made his mark in fantasy with 14 stolen bases in 17 attempts.

Bichette went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run during Tuesday's win over the Mariners.

Bichette continued his hot streak with his ninth multi-hit game of the month, including his 15th homer of the year, this time against Rafael Montero in the sixth inning. The 23-year-old's recent success at the plate has raised his season slash line to .283/.332/.484.

Downs was removed from Tuesday's game with Triple-A Worcester to be evaluated for a head injury, Katie Morrison of MassLive.com reports.

The 22-year-old suffered the potential head injury on a play at the plate during the sixth inning, as he went tumbling to the ground when he elected not to slide and collided with the catcher. Downs went 1-for-2 with a solo homer and a walk prior to exiting the contest, and he should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.

Barrero will make his Triple-A debut for Louisville on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Barrero jumped all the way from High-A to the big leagues last season but looked overmatched, hitting .194/.206/.194 in 68 plate appearances. He's back on a standard development track this season. His promotion to Triple-A is well earned based on his performance at Double-A Chattanooga, where he hit .300/.367/.481 with six homers and eight steals in 40 games.

Rojas is sitting for Tuesday's game against the Phillies due to cold-like symptoms, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

It's unclear how severe Rojas' symptoms are, nor is it known whether he's available off the bench Tuesday. More details about his condition figure to become available following the game or on Wednesday.

Correa (knee) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Correa exited Monday's loss to Baltimore after being hit by a pitch on his right knee. The 26-year-old appears to be feeling much better Tuesday, as he'll bat fifth and play shortstop during the middle contest of the three-game set.

Rojas is not starting Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas has hit .167 with a homer and five RBI since returning from the injured list June 18. Luis Marte will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Tuesday's series opener.

Adames went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's 14-4 win over the Cubs.

Adames took Trevor Megill deep in the eighth inning. The Cubs intentionally walked Christian Yelich, and Adames made them pay by slamming a three-run bomb to extend the lead. The 25-year-old is slashing .286/.357/.516 with six home runs, 24 RBI and 16 runs in 142 plate appearances since joining the Brewers via trade in late May. He's been especially hot lately, batting .359 with three long balls in his last 10 games.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-2 loss to the Dodgers on Monday.

Crawford's sixth-inning solo shot off Trevor Bauer brought the Giants to within one run of Los Angeles' lead but wound up being the final run of the game. Crawford's 17 home runs are third most among MLB shortstops and only four off his career high of 21 set in 2015.

Correa left Monday's game against the Orioles after being struck by a pitch on his right knee, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Correa lobbied hard to remain in the game and was later spotted walking around in the dugout after being lifted, so it initially looks as though he managed to avoid a significant injury. The Astros have yet to disclose additional details on Correa's injury.
