Mateo is 4-for-15 with a double, a triple, two walks and four runs in the four games he's played for Triple-A Las Vegas since returning from a stay on the 7-day minor-league injured list due to ankle soreness.

The promising shortstop appears to be fully over the ankle issues that put a pause in his stellar season. Even after an 0-for-4 afternoon versus Albuquerque on Sunday -- his first hitless game since returning -- Mateo is slashing .294/.335/.518 across 104 games with the Aviators this season.

Lindor went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in an 8-4 victory against the Yankees on Sunday.

The 25-year-old saw his average dip below .300, but he hit his first homer since Aug. 4. If Lindor can catch fire again in the power category, he could still reach the 30-homer plateau. He's done that each of the last two years, but with his early-season injury during 2019, it would be an even greater accomplishment this summer. He is batting .299 with 21 home runs, 53 RBI, 73 runs and 18 steals in 442 at-bats this season.

Edman went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a stolen base and two runs scored Sunday against the Reds.

Edman left the yard in the fifth inning, extending the Cardinals' lead to three on the way to a 5-4 victory. The 24-year-old is slashing .271/.303/.429 with five homers and 19 RBI over 54 games this season for St. Louis.

Diaz's placement on the 10-day injured list Sunday was the result of him being hospitalized a day earlier after experiencing dizziness and lightheadedness, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Manager AJ Hinch said the Astros will take "every precaution imaginable" with Diaz, but the utility man won't necessarily be in store for a lengthy stay on the IL. He'll be discharged from hospital and return to Houston with the team following Sunday's series finale in Oakland. The Astros recalled reliever Cy Sneed from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Turner went 2-for-8 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 15-14 loss to the Brewers in 14 innings.

Turner's 12th home run of the season was one of 11 on the night between the two teams. Though the extra innings certainly helped him, Turner also supplied his third multi-hit performance in five games and extended his on-base streak to 24 contests.

Wendle (wrist) went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a walk, a stolen base and a run in High-A Charlotte's win over St. Lucie on Saturday.

Wendle had an eventful rehab debut with the Stone Crabs in what was the second game of his assignment overall. The utility man is set to play for Charlotte again Sunday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports, at which point he'll be reevaluated for a likely move to Triple-A Durham.

Diaz was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a suspected foot injury, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The Astros haven't formally commented on the nature of Diaz's injury, but McTaggart notes that the utility man was in pain after fouling a ball off his foot a few days earlier. Pitcher Cy Sneed was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Berti is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rockies.

He is hitting .310 with one home run and four steals in 15 games this month. Starlin Castro is starting at shortstop and hitting second while Martin Prado starts at third.

Crawford is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Crawford will get his first day off since July 27 while he's endured a rough patch at the plate in recent weeks. Through his first 13 games of August, Crawford has recorded eight hits in 48 at-bats (.167 average) while striking out 27.8 percent of the time. Dee Gordon will fill in at shortstop, but the slick-fielding Crawford is in no danger of losing his everyday role that position even while he slumps at the plate.

Ahmed went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 11-6 loss to the Giants.

The two-run blast came off Giants reliever Travis Bergen in the eighth inning. Ahmed has now homered five times in his last seven games, bringing his total for the year up to 16. He's tallied 68 RBI and 67 runs scored in 122 games this season while also stealing seven bases. Since the start of August, the shortstop is hitting .375 with six homers, 16 RBI and 12 runs scored. Ten of his 18 hits this month have gone for extra bases.
