Tejada signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Sunday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Seager is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Arizona, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Seager will receive the day off after starting the last seven games and going 6-for-28 with three doubles and four RBI in that stretch. Chris Taylor will start at shortstop in his place Sunday.

Crawford is expected to miss at least a week due to the right hamstring injury he aggravated in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Crawford underwent an MRI on the injury Saturday, and while the results weren't revealed, the team was concerned enough to send the 24-year-old back to Seattle for further examination. Given that the last-place Mariners have little on the line at this point, it wouldn't be surprising if the team erred on the side of caution and kept Crawford sidelined for the remainder of the season. Dylan Moore is expected to serve as the primary replacement at shortstop for however long Crawford is sidelined.

Berti is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Berti's time as the Marlins' everyday shortstop looks to be over with Miguel Rojas (hamstring) returning from the 10-day injured list Sunday, but the rookie should still see steady playing time thanks to his ability to play several other positions. The speedy 29-year-old has slashed .282/.363/.473 with four home runs, seven steals and 24 runs in 29 games since his own return from the IL on July 31.

Gordon went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday, snapping a 2-for-20 slump.

Gordon closed out August with only his second multi-hit effort of the month. The veteran's .274 average on the season is certainly respectable, but his .301 on-base percentage has plenty of room for improvement. Additionally, with 19 steals this season, Gordon is on pace for his lowest total in that category since recording 10 during a 38-game season with the Dodgers back in 2013.

Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Carmargo struggled coming out of the All-Star break with a .191/.267/.294 slash line in 23 games before being demoted in mid-August. The 25-year-old figures to step back into a utility role, though he'll likely be relied upon less than he was earlier in the season.

Chang will start at third base and bat ninth Sunday against the Rays.

Chang will man the hot corner for a fifth consecutive game and looks to hold the playing-time edge at the position over Mike Freeman. Though his first six games since rejoining the Tribe when Jose Ramirez (hand) was placed on the injured list, Chang has gone 5-for-17 with a triple, two walks and three runs.

Edman went 3-for-4 with two runs in a win over the Reds in the second game of a doubleheader Saturday.

Edman generated his third three-hit effort of the last six games in the nightcap, putting a fitting finish on a successful month at the plate. The rookie produced an impressive .308 average during August, boosting his season figure 22 points to .283 in the process.

Rojas (hamstring) was activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday and is leading off and starting at shortstop at Washington, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Rojas completed a five-game rehab stint between High-A Jupiter and Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday, clearing the way for his return to the majors. The 30-year-old had a .267/.309/.427 slash line in 22 games after the All-Star break before going down with the right hamstring strain.
