Ahmed was removed from Sunday's 8-2 win over the Blue Jays in the third inning with a sore left foot.

Jarrod Dyson came off the bench to replace Ahmed, stepping in as the Diamondbacks' center fielder while Ketel Marte shifted to shortstop. Ahmed, who singled in his lone at-bat before departing, is viewed as day-to-day ahead of Monday's game in Philadelphia.

Fletcher is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners due to a sore left shoulder, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Though Fletcher will be on the bench for a second straight day due to the injury, manager Brad Ausmus suggested he wasn't worried about the 25-year-old requiring a trip to the injured list. Fletcher's absence will open up a starting spot in the infield for Wilfredo Tovar.

Seager went 4-for-5 with two doubles and four RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Giants.

The Giants were determined not to let Cody Bellinger beat them, walking the Dodgers' cleanup hitter three times in five plate appearances, but Seager picked up the slack from the five hole. The shortstop has banged out four straight multi-hit efforts, but he's been hot for a lot longer than that -- Seager is now slashing .330/.392/.637 over his last 24 games with six homers and 26 RBI.

Gordon (wrist) went 1-for-5 in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Nashville on Saturday.

Gordon played another full game for the Rainiers on Saturday and was able to lace a single for the second consecutive contest. The speedy infielder has now made it through a pair of rehab games without setbacks, and Greg Johns of MLB.com reports that Gordon is expected to rejoin the Mariners on Tuesday in Minnesota.

Crawford (ankle) impressed during agility and running drills Saturday and will take live batting practice at Tacoma on Sunday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Crawford is prepping for the start of a rehab assignment at High-A Modesto at the beginning of the week, and Saturday's developments were certainly encouraging ahead of that step. Sunday's batting practice session, during which Crawford is slated to potentially face both Hunter Strickland (lat) and Felix Hernandez (lat), should serve as a strong foundation for the recovering shortstop's scheduled return to game action.

Fletcher is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against Mariners, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Fletcher had started the Angels' previous 32 games. He'll get a rest Saturday, with Wilfredo Tovar starting at shortstop.

Edman was called up from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

With Jedd Gyorko (back) landing on the injured list, Edman will join the major-league team for the first time. He may not be a marquee prospect, but Edman is a legitimate prospect, arguably ranking within the top 10 in the Cardinals organization. He's hit .305/.356/.513 with seven homers and nine steals with Memphis this season. The switch-hitting Edman should at least see some starts at second base against left-handed pitching.

Gordon (wrist) went 1-for-4 in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Nashville on Friday.

Gordon logged a full nine innings in his first rehab game with the Rainiers and appeared to get through the contest unscathed. If he continues free of setbacks over the next few games, Gordon is expected to be ready for activation some time next week.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Rays.

Bogaerts extended an on-base streak to 10 games Friday and is 16-for-42 with three home runs, five doubles, eight RBI and 13 runs scored during the streak. That surge moved him to the top of team in runs (50), RBI (41) and OPS (.915). With J.D. Martinez (back) dealing with an injury and Mookie Betts not producing consistently, it's been up to Bogaerts and Rafael Devers to carry the offensive load.

Mondesi went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-4 win over the White Sox.

Mondesi swatted an RBI double in the sixth inning against Ivan Nova to tie the game at 2-2. Then with the Royals trailing in the seventh, he put them in the lead for good with an RBI single against reliever Jace Fry. The speedy 23-year-old continues to lead the majors in steals with 23 on the season, while batting a lofty .282/.316/.476 with six homers, 44 RBI and 37 runs scored.
