MLB Player News

Adames is out of the lineup Friday against the Red Sox, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Adames is 1-for-17 with 13 strikeouts over his past five games and will head to the bench Friday. Joey Wendle will take over at shortstop while Brandon Lowe starts at second base.

Crawford was placed on the bereavement list Friday.

The bereavement list is typically for players dealing with serious family health issues, so Crawford will be away from the team for a few days. Dee Strange-Gordon and Dylan Moore are the likely candidates to see time at shortstop during his absence.

Preciado was added to the Padres' player pool Tuesday.

The Panamanian-born infielder signed with the Padres last July but was withheld from minor-league action. He's extremely raw and still only 17 years of age, so his addition to the player pool is purely for developmental reasons at the team's alternate training site.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

Swanson capped off a five-run comeback for Atlanta by taking Tanner Rainey deep to give the Braves a 7-6 lead in the eight inning. It marked the shortstop's seventh long ball and 25th RBI on the campaign.

Seager went 2-for-5 with a solo home run during Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Seager broke open the scoring with a solo home run against Madison Bumgarner in the third inning. It was the 12th long ball of the year for the 26-year-old, who leads the Dodgers with a .314 batting average.

Edman went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run during a 6-3 loss to the Tigers in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

His fifth-inning shot off Tyler Alexander gave the Cards a 3-0 lead before the bullpen fell apart, although Edman was also caught stealing for the third time in four attempts this year -- a far cry from his 15-for-16 performance on the basepaths as a rookie. The 25-year-old is slashing .262/.326/.415 through 35 games with four homers and 19 RBI.

Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored Thursday against Cleveland.

The highlight was a three-run homer in the eighth inning. He continued to produce on the basepaths, recording his 13th stolen base of the campaign in the third inning after reaching base on a walk. Mondesi is quietly riding a seven-game hitting streak. That's bolstered his season-long line to .204/.232/.290 with two home runs, 15 runs scored and 11 RBI across 170 plate appearances.

Martinez was added to the Blue Jays' 60-man-player pool Thursday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Now one of the Jays' top prospects, Martinez signed a $3.5 million deal with Toronto back in July of 2018. He will get the opportunity to further his development at the team's alternate training site.

Berti (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

He has been out with a stiff right finger, which is apparently serious enough for him to miss at least 10 days. Isan Diaz was recalled in a corresponding move.

Berti (finger) isn't in Thursday's lineup against the Phillies.

Berti missed the past two games after suffering a bruised finger Monday, and he'll sit once again Thursday. It's unclear whether he'll be available off the bench. Jazz Chisholm will start at second base once again.
