Turner (wrist) was moved to the 60-day disabled list prior to Wednesday's game, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

As Kolko acknowledged, this move will not impact Turner's timetable whatsoever, as the 24-year-old is still a couple weeks away from his return, at the earliest. The club transferred Turner to the 60-day DL due to Brian Goodwin's placement on the disabled list (groin), in order to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Alejandro De Aza.

Adames, 21, is batting .316 with one home run, three RBI and one steal over his last 10 games for Triple-A Durham.

On the year, Adames is slashing .267/.360/.406 with eight home runs, 47 RBI and nine stolen bases. The Rays are notoriously conservative with their prospects, but as they sit just 1.5 games out of the last Wild Card spot, they could choose to bring up Adames to boost their middle infield depth down the stretch.

Arcia (back) is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Pirates.

Arcia will stay on the bench for the second straight game as Eric Sogard picks up another start at shortstop. The 23-year-old was scratched just hours prior to Tuesday's series opener with back spasms, and although it's unclear whether Arcia is still dealing with the injury or just recovering from the setback, he will receive added rest as Milwaukee gets a scheduled day off Thursday before beginning a road trip in Colorado.

Mateo went 2-for-4 with two walks, three stolen bases and an RBI for Double-A Midland on Tuesday.

The shortstop, who was one of three prospects the Athletics received in the July 31 trade that sent Sonny Gray to the Yankees, capped off his night with a walkoff single in the 11th inning. Mateo's wheels have been on full display across stints with three minor-league clubs this season, with the 22-year-old racking up a combined 48 steals while getting caught just 10 times. He'll likely remain in the Texas League for the remainder of the campaign before potentially angling for a promotion to the big club in 2018.

Rojas is not in the lineup against the Giants on Wednesday, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas will occupy a spot on the bench following eight straight starts, going 7-for-27 with one extra-base hit during that span. In his place, Mike Aviles will pick up a start at shortstop, batting eighth.

Seager went 2-for-5 with a double and a pair of RBI in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.

The slugging shortstop has been on fire in the second half of the season, slashing .336/.405/.566 with six homers, eight doubles and 14 RBI in 28 games since the All-Star break. Seager currently ranks in the top-3 among all shortstops in runs (73), home runs (19), RBI (59), batting average (.308) and OPS (.917) this season, solidifying himself as one of fantasy's most well-rounded bats in just his age-23 season.

Pennington got the nod at the keystone against a left-handed pitcher Tuesday, going 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to Washington.

The veteran infielder has started six of the Angels' last 12 contests, but all six have come against southpaws. A strict platoon has developed at second base between Pennington and Kaleb Cowart, but the latter plays more and thus is the more desirable fantasy asset.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers.

He led off the game with a homer, taking Alex Wood's first pitch out to left-center field. The 24-year-old has hit left-handed pitching well throughout the season, and while he's struggled to a great extent against right-handers for much of the year, he's been showing some signs of improvement lately. The White Sox remain committed to Anderson being part of the rebuild.

Diaz recently asked for and was granted permission to begin working at second and third base in addition to shortstop at Triple-A Memphis, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports. "I think versatility for most players is valuable," said Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak. "Now that he's been down there awhile and adjusting to it, [we] thought it was time to create some flexibility for him."

Diaz's request was essentially born out of self-preservation, considering that rookie Paul DeJong has a stranglehold on the shortstop position in the majors for the foreseeable future. Diaz worked at multiple spots in the infield during his playing days in Cuba, but had focused on shortstop during his time in the Cardinals' organization. Sent down to Memphis back on June 28 to refine his swing, the 27-year-old has been rather ordinary with the Redbirds, slashing .252/.292/.396 with four home runs and 20 RBI.

Chang exited Tuesday's game with Double-A Akron early after being hit by a pitch on his right hand.

Chang will likely undergo testing on his injured hand Wednesday, at which point we'll have a better idea as to the severity of the injury. For now, the shortstop prospect will be considered day-to-day.
