Crawford went 1-for-4 with a two-run single, a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Rangers on Wednesday.

Crawford snapped a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the fourth with a single to right that brought home Aaron Nola and Kyle Seager. Crawford limped to a .167 average overall in July, but he's shown signs of life recently by hitting .276 (8-for-29) with two doubles, a triple, seven RBI, seven walks, three stolen bases and three runs over his last eight games.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs overall in a win over the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Adames' bat finally started to show some signs of life at the plate as July wound down, as he went 6-for-17 with a double, three homers and five of his six RBI for the month over the last five games. The modest sample of success will perhaps represent the start of a resurgence at the plate for Adames, who hit just .193 overall in July after generating an encouraging .273 figure in June.

Rojas is day-to-day after being removed from Thursday's game against the Twins due to right hip tightness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas suffered the injury while running from first to third in the bottom of the third inning Thursday. The shortstop was 1-for-2 prior to being replaced by Yadiel Rivera. The Marlins will likely wait and see how Rojas is feeling during Friday's off day before determining his status for Saturday's series opener against the Rays.

Rojas exited Thursday's game against the Twins with an apparent lower-body injury, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

The shortstop appeared to tweak his leg while running from first to third in the bottom of the third inning and was subsequently replaced by Yadiel Rivera prior to the fourth frame. Rojas will likely be further evaluated during the team's off day Friday before his status for Saturday's series opener against the Rays is determined.

Berti (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Berti has been cleared to rejoin the Marlins after completing a nine-game rehab assignment, slashing .296/.333/.519 with two home runs and a stolen base. Prior to getting injured, he hit .237/.324/.373 in 22 games with the big club. Berti figures to assume a utility role during his time with the Marlins.

Wendle landed on the 10-day injured list with right wrist inflammation Wednesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Wendle heads to the injured list for the third time this season. He's hit just .206/.274/.277 in 46 games when available. It's not clear when he's expected to return. Kevin Kiermaier (thumb) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Bichette will start at shortstop and lead off Wednesday against Royals.

After batting sixth in his MLB debut Monday, Bichette unseated Cavan Biggio as the leadoff man in Tuesday's 9-2 win and reached base three times, recording two singles and a walk. The 21-year-old will once again bat atop the lineup in the series finale and could end up sticking in the leadoff role for the remainder of the season if he performs up to snuff. Handling the table-setting duties on a regular basis would be a boon to Bichette's fantasy value, as he would likely be afforded more running opportunities than would be possible batting out of the bottom half of the order.

Mauricio is slashing .274/.330/.405 through 22 games in July for Low-A Columbia with one home run, one stolen base in four attempts and a 6:18 BB:K.

While the 18-year-old hasn't been setting the world on fire in the Sally League, posting a wRC+ of 104 as a teenager in full-season ball is still impressive. Mauricio remains the No. 1 fantasy prospect in the Mets' system, and while he's still likely a few years away from the majors, he could put together a breakout at any time if the rest of his skill set starts to catch up to his hit tool.

Shewmake is slashing .318/.378/.453 through his first 36 games for Low-A Rome with one home run, four steals and a 13:22 BB:K.

The 21st overall pick in the 2019 draft, Shewmake's age (21 years old) and college background make his early success in the Sally League less of a surprise than the expected outcome, but it's still a lot better than the alternative. Atlanta is leaving him at shortstop for now, but a shift down the defensive spectrum remains possible as Shewmake fills out and matures.

Edman went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in a win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

Edman did a nice job setting the table out of the leadoff spot on a couple of occasions, even though the Cardinals weren't able to drive him home in either. The rookie has reached safely in seven consecutive starts and continues to offer well-balanced contributions at the plate, as evidenced by his four doubles, two triples, four home runs and six stolen bases overall across his first 121 big-league plate appearances.
