Corey Seager SS | TEX
Dodgers' Corey Seager: Nearing rehab assignment
Seager (hand) is expected to hit in Arizona this weekend and begin his rehab assignment late next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
This will mark a notable step in Seager's quicker-than-expected recovery from a fractured right hand, which he suffered when getting hit by a pitch May 15. Considering the length of his absence, the shortstop figures to require multiple rehab games before being activated, so a late-June return remains realistic.

Tim Anderson 2B | LAA
White Sox's Tim Anderson: Red hot over last three games
Anderson went 3-for-4 with a stolen base Tuesday in the White Sox's 3-0 win over the Rays.
Anderson delivered his third multi-hit game in a row, with the 27-year-old going 8-for-13 with a pair of doubles, four runs and two RBI over that stretch. Thanks to the hot streak, Anderson has lifted his season-long batting average from .291 to .311. He'll look to keep the momentum going in Wednesday's series finale; he'll bat leadoff and start at shortstop.

Willy Adames SS | SF
Brewers' Willy Adames: On bench Wednesday
Adames isn't starting Wednesday's game against Cincinnati.
Adames will get a breather after he went 0-for-10 with a run, a stolen base and four strikeouts across the last three games. Daniel Robertson will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Tommy Edman 2B | LAD
Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Won't start Wednesday
Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said Edman (torso) won't be included in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale with the Marlins, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
St. Louis will withhold Edman from the starting nine for the second day in a row after he was previously scratched ahead of Tuesday's 2-1 win when he experienced torso tightness. Shildt didn't indicate whether Edman would be available off the bench, so the 26-year-old's status is somewhat hazy heading into the Cardinals' four-game series in Atlanta that begins Thursday.

Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Tallies three hits in win

He also knocked a pair of singles and came around to score again in the fourth. The 26-year-old has really picked things up in June, slashing .393/.455/.625 with two homers, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, a stolen base and an 8:12 BB:K over 14 games.

For the season, Bogaerts is hitting .319/.383/.557 with 39 runs scored and 40 RBI across 264 plate appearances.
