Wendle will start at second base and will bat sixth Monday against the Blue Jays, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Wendle has seemingly supplanted Hunter Renfroe as a mainstay in the Tampa Bay lineup against right-handed pitching. Brandon Lowe will shift to the right field while Renfroe sits for the second straight day, paving the way for Wendle to pick up another start at the keystone. Over his 58 plate appearances versus righties this season, Wendle is slashing .264/.328/.434 (111 wRC+).

Amaya was added to the Dodgers' 60-man player pool Monday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

He will report to the Dodgers' alternate training site at USC after being a non-roster invitee during spring training. Amaya, who turns 22 on Sept. 3, has displayed excellent plate skills in the minors, but he has never posted an ISO higher than .132 in full-season ball. He most recently hit .250/.307/.375 with one home run and one steal in 21 games at High-A.

Seager went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in an 11-3 victory over Colorado on Sunday.

Seager gave the Dodgers an early lead with his solo shot in the first inning. The long ball was the seventh of the season for the shortstop, who is hitting homers this season at nearly the twice the frequency (13.4 AB/HR) as his career average (24.4 AB/HR). Seager's Statcast numbers back up the improvement -- he ranks in the 95th percentile in barrel rate (19.5 percent), the 97th percentile in hard-hit percentage (56.1 percent) and the 96th percentile in average exit velocity (93.9 mph). He also ranks second in MLB with a .780 xSLG.

Correa went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 loss to San Diego.

Correa's first-inning single plated one of the three Houston runs scored in that frame. He's been the Astros' steadiest hitter in 2020 and has moved up to third in the batting order the last four games, replacing the injured Alex Bregman (hamstring). The shortstop, who has dealt with injuries the last three seasons, has appeared in all 28 games thus far and leads the team with a .300 average.

Swanson went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Philadelphia.

All three of Swanson's hits were doubles, and he was able to score on a Freddie Freeman double in the third inning. Swanson almost scored the tying run in the bottom of the ninth on another Freeman double, but he was thrown out at the plate to end the game. The shortstop is slashing .319/.353/.487 with three homers, 16 RBI, 25 runs scored and three stolen bases in 28 games this season. He's added 10 doubles.

Turner went 3-for-3 with a triple, three RBI and two runs in Sunday's win against the Marlins.

Turner has swung a hot bat recently as he's now reached base safely in each of the past 14 contests. His three RBI in Sunday's win matched his highest single-game total of the season, and he now has 13 RBI and 12 extra-base hits while carrying a .949 OPS.

Edman is out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The 25-year-old operated as the Cardinals' fill-in shortstop over the last couple weeks in place of Paul DeJong, but DeJong makes his return from the COVID-19 injured list Sunday. Edman began the season as the everyday starter at third base and could return to that role with the team nearing full strength.

Lindor went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored Saturday in the Indians' 6-1 win over the Tigers.

After a slow start at the dish to begin the season, Lindor is rounding into peak form offensively. Over his last 10 games, Lindor is slashing .302/.362/.442 with a home run, three doubles, seven runs and four RBI. He'll start at shortstop and will bat third in Sunday's series finale.

DeJong was activated off the COVID-19 injured list Sunday and is starting at shortstop and batting seventh against the Reds, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The 27-year-old was previously expected to be activated Monday, but he'll rejoin the team a day early after being sidelined all month following his positive test for COVID-19. DeJong went 4-for-17 with one home run in five games before the Cardinals' outbreak, and he should reclaim the everyday role at shortstop now that he's ready to go.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas returned from the injured list Thursday and went 0-for-3 during Game 1. Jonathan Villar will shift over to shortstop in the nightcap, while Jon Berti starts at the keystone.
