Lindor went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in a 7-2 win over the Reds on Saturday.

Lindor was without a home run in his previous 15 games, but he went deep twice Saturday off Cincinnati starter Anthony DeSclafani. The 25-year-old has a .295/.356/.511 slash line with 14 home runs and 13 stolen bases in 68 games this season.

Manager Dave Roberts said Seager (hamstring) will likely be activated off the 10-day injured list for Friday's game against the Red Sox, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Seager began a rehab assignment at High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday and will rejoin the Dodgers immediately after the All-Star break. Roberts said the 25-year-old will play all three games at Boston and likely three of four games in Philadelphia. Seager was in the midst of a nine-game hit streak in which he was slashing .459/.487/.730 before suffering the left hamstring strain June 11.

Wendle is not in the lineup Saturday against the Yankees.

Wendle has started in 18 of the team's last 20 contests but will hit the bench Saturday. Mike Brosseau will draw the start at second base and bat fifth in his place.

Swanson (quadriceps) remains on the bench as expected Saturday against the Marlins.

Swanson did not appear in Friday's contest due to a sore quadriceps, and he'll sit Saturday as well. He could still start Sunday's game, though the Braves may elect to have him well-rested heading into the break. Johan Camargo will start again at shortstop.

Bogaerts is not in the lineup against Detroit on Saturday.

Bogaerts will draw his first day off since May 26, coming off a four-RBI performance Friday. That was a continuation of what has been a strong season for Bogaerts, as he's currently hitting .295/.385/.535 across 384 plate appearances. Brock Holt will start at shortstop and bat seventh in his place.

Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored and a walk in a 7-6 victory over the Pirates on Friday.

Arcia's 12th home run this season came on a first-pitch shot to right field in the seventh inning, and after the Brewers blew a five-run lead in the bottom of the ninth, Arcia legged out an infield single in the 10th inning before coming around to score the game's go-ahead run. While the shortstop is on pace to set a career high in home runs, a disappointing .239 batting average and a surprisingly below-average defensive performance have prompted the Brewers to utilize late-June callup Tyler Saladino more prominently in the past two weeks. While Saladino's versatility in the infield will likely keep him on the major-league roster for the foreseeable future, it's possible the Brewers could split playing time between the young shortstops evenly, at least until one or the other gets hot at the plate.

Mondesi went 3-for-6 with a triple, a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in a 7-4 win over the Nationals on Friday.

Mondesi got the Royals bats going with an RBI triple in the third inning to tie the game at 1-1, and he extended the lead after following up a fifth-inning double with a stolen base and scoring on an ensuing single. After the Nationals rallied to tie the game in the ninth inning, the young shortstop hit a clutch go-ahead RBI single in the 11th inning to help secure the win. Since returning from a groin injury that cost the 23-year-old two weeks in June, Mondesi has five hits and six RBI in 20 at-bats. He's now slashing .269/.299/.450 on the year and has stolen a major-league-leading 28 bases.

Turner went 3-for-7 with a solo home run in Friday's extra-innings loss to the Royals.

He led off the bottom of the first inning with his seventh homer of the year, but Turner's efforts at the top of the order didn't generate any more offense the rest of the night. The shortstop is heating up heading into the All-Star break, slashing .306/.368/.452 with two home runs, five steals, six RBI and 11 runs over his last 14 games.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a homer, a walk and four RBI in Friday's win over Detroit.

Bogaerts opened the scoring with an RBI groundout in the first inning. He later stretched Boston's lead to four with a three-run shot in the top of the eighth. He now has 17 homers on the season, just six shy of his career high.

Berti (oblique) has been pulled from his rehab assignment due to a hamstring strain, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Berti was looking at possibly returning shortly after the All-Star break, but this issue will push him back indefinitely. Depending on the severity of the strain, Berti may not be able to resume his rehab before August.
