MLB Player News

Rojas is out of the lineup Sunday at Washington, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

Rojas started the last six games but will receive a breather Sunday after going 3-for-23 during that stretch. Jose Devers will start at shortstop and bat seventh for Miami in the series finale.

Turner went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases and a run Saturday in the Nationals' 7-2 win over the Marlins.

Turner is now a perfect 7-for-7 on stolen-base attempts this season, with his total placing him only one behind the Athletics' Ramon Laureano and the Royals' Whit Merrifield for the MLB lead. The shortstop has supplemented the stolen-base production with six home runs through 97 plate appearances, putting him well on pace to surpass his previous career high (19 in 2018 and 2019) in the category.

Edman went 4-for-6 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 12-5 win over the Pirates.

The switch hitter continues to thrive at the top of the Cards' order. Edman has gone 12-for-34 (.353) over the last eight games, pushing his slash line on the season to .295/.347/.402 with two homers, four steals, six RBI and 14 runs through 27 contests.

DeJong went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 12-5 win over the Pirates.

He got the Cards' offensive eruption started by taking Trevor Cahill deep in the first inning. DeJong had been in a funk at the plate, going 4-for-32 (.125) over his prior nine games with zero extra-base hits, but despite a .167/.272/.367 slash line on the season the shortstop has six homers and 13 RBI through 25 contests.

Houston manager Dusty Baker plans to work Diaz into right field, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Diaz was mostly a shortstop and third baseman prior to joining the Astros, who have expanded his positional competency. He's filled in at first base, second base and left field during his time in Houston. The addition of right field to his portfolio would give Baker an option to the struggling Kyle Tucker, whose 0-for-4 effort on Saturday dropped his season average to .173.

Story went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, three additional runs scored and a walk in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Story hit his third home run of the season off Caleb Smith in the sixth inning. He has scored seven runs over his last four games and is slashing .283/.336/.495 in 110 plate appearances this year.

Chang went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Cleveland's 7-3 loss to Chicago on Saturday.

The fourth-inning single came with the bases loaded and snapped a five-game hitless stretch for Chang. He's seeing semi-regular playing time, but until he can string together quality at-bats, it's difficult to see Chang as a viable option.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a strikeout as Chicago beat Cleveland 7-3 on Saturday.

Anderson took Cleveland starter Triston McKenzie deep on 1-2 fastball with the bases juiced to give Chicago all the run support it would need on the day. The blast nearly doubled Anderson's RBI total on the season to nine.

Crawford (calf) will sit Saturday against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford left Friday's series opener with a left calf contusion and will sit for at least one game. Mauricio Dubon takes over at shortstop in his absence, though the veteran may be available off the bench.

Crawford went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a run in a win over the Angels on Friday.

Crawford found a way to make an impact out of the No. 8 spot in the order, extending his on-base streak to nine games. The 26-year-old has yet to leave the yard this season through 96 plate appearances, but he does have four doubles and sports a favorable 8.3 percent walk rate and 17.7 percent strikeout rate.
