Crawford went 0-for-2 with a stolen base, a run scored and a walk in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Angels.

Crawford walked to lead off the third inning, then stole second base and came around to score on a single by Omar Narvaez, giving the Mariners a 2-0 lead at the time. Crawford now has two steals on the year, adding a .257/.330/.439 line with four homers, 28 RBI and 22 runs scored in 46 games. He's only gone 4-for-33 over his last 10 games, but all four of his hits have been doubles.

Fletcher went 2-for-5 with the go-ahead RBI single, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Mariners.

Fletcher's sixth stolen base of the year came in the first inning after he got aboard with a single. He then poked another single to ignite a four-run ninth inning by scoring Kole Calhoun for what would be the game-winning run. The infielder is hitting .293/.355/.414 with 52 runs scored, 33 RBI and five homers on the year.

Rojas was removed from Saturday's contest with a strained right shoulder, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

It was speculated that Rojas had exited the game due to an injury to his leg, but it was instead a shoulder injury. It's unclear how he suffered the injury or how long he will remain out of the lineup. Yadiel Rivera took over at shortstop in his place.

Rojas was removed from Saturday's contest against the Dodgers with potential injuries to his hand or leg, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Rojas was banged up throughout the contest, with the first potential injury occurring to his hand after he reached down to the ground to steady himself while striking out in the first frame. In the fourth inning, he fouled a ball off his left leg before ultimately being removed in the fifth inning. There are no details as to the severity of either potential injury, and Yadiel Rivera replaced him at shortstop.

Edman went 3-for-4 with two doubles in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.

Getting the start at third base and hitting leadoff, Edman did an excellent job setting the table but got no help from the rest of the St. Louis lineup -- the team managed only six hits in total, and none from the two through five hitters. The rookie is now slashing .275/.301/.513 through his first 29 big-league games.

Arcia is not in the lineup Saturday against Arizona.

Arcia owns an awful .272 OPS over his last nine games. Tyler Saladino, who owns an even worse .241 OPS in 19 games this season, starts in his place at shortstop.

Gordon went 3-for-4 with a run in a win over the Angels on Friday.

Gordon made plenty of noise out of the bottom of the order, with the three-hit night extending his hitting streak to four games and pushing his July average to .289. The veteran speedster is enjoying a below-average season overall (.271/.299/.360 line across 276 plate appearances), but Chris Haft of MLB.com reports that Gordon could be one of the natural trade candidates for the selling-minded Mariners prior to the July 31 deadline.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a loss to the White Sox on Friday.

Wendle encouragingly showed some signs of life at the plate Friday, garnering the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Rays in the process. The 29-year-old continues to intermittently provide glimpses of the hitter he's been over the preceding pair of .300 seasons, but his average still disappointingly sits just below the Mendoza Line at .197.

Correa (ribs) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list when first eligible July 26, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

Correa began his rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock earlier this week and has gone 5-for-10 with a walk over his first three games while logging 12 total innings in the field at shortstop. He'll likely play a full game or two at Round Rock within the next several days in what would represent the final test to prove that the cracked rib that first sent him to the IL in late May is no longer a concern. The Astros already have a spot open on the 40-man roster for Correa after designating Tyler White for assignment following Friday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

DeJong went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 12-11 win over the Reds.

His two-run shot off Robert Stephenson in the seventh inning actually proved to be the game-winning hit for the Cards. DeJong has now homered in consecutive games after going more than a month without leaving the yard, and the shortstop is slashing .254/.334/.444 on the year with 15 home runs and 44 RBI in 94 games.
