Adames is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.

Adames has started at shortstop for the vast majority of Milwaukee's games this season, but after putting up a .201 batting average and .662 OPS through 103 games, he's being afforded a mental break by manager Craig Counsell. The 27-year-old will miss his second straight contest Tuesday, allowing Brice Turang to start at shortstop, Andruw Monasterio at second and Brian Anderson in the hot corner.

Perdomo isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.

The switch-hitting Perdomo has typically been held out of the lineup against southpaws this season, and the trend will continue for Tuesday's matchup against Julio Urias. Nick Ahmed will get the nod at shortstop and bat eighth.

Rojas isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday against Arizona, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

After going 2-for-5 with an RBI and scoring twice Monday against San Diego, Rojas will take a seat for Tuesday's series opener with the D-backs. Amed Rosario will fill in at shortstop and bat ninth.

Story (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Royals, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Story is starting at shortstop and batting third in his season debut Tuesday versus the Royals and right-hander Brady Singer. Recovered from January internal brace surgery on his right elbow, the 30-year-old middle infielder posted an encouraging .300/.417/.700 batting line with four home runs and four doubles in 13 minor-league rehab games between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. Yu Chang has been designated for assignment in a corresponding roster move.

The Red Sox designated Chang for assignment Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Chang had been getting regular playing time at shortstop over the last handful of weeks, but he'll lose his place on both the 26- and 40-man rosters as Trevor Story (elbow) prepares to make his season debut Tuesday night against the Royals. Chang, 27, was sporting a .162/.200/.352 batting line through 112 plate appearances this season with Boston.

Anderson (forearm) is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Yankees.

Anderson took a pitch to the left forearm in Monday's series opener against New York, but X-rays came back negative and he is considered day-to-day with a contusion. Elvis Andrus will cover shortstop and bat leadoff for the White Sox on Tuesday night.

Baez (personal) was added to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Baez had been out of the Tigers' lineup since Saturday following the death of his grandfather. He's expected to officially go on the bereavement list at some point, but the 30-year-old will start at shortstop and bat sixth Tuesday versus the Twins and right-hander Sonny Gray.

The Mets are planning to begin a rotation with Mauricio at Triple-A Syracuse in which he will play second base, shortstop and third base, probably twice a week at each position, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Mauricio has made 41 starts at second, 26 in left field and 25 at shortstop so far this season, but he has yet to appear at third base. He will soon get reps at the hot corner as the Mets move him away from outfield duties and get him familiar at a position of need at the major-league level. Overall, the 22-year-old is batting .289/.338/.479 with 16 homers and 19 steals in 97 games with Syracuse this season.

Baez (personal) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

It's the third straight game that Baez has been out of the lineup following a death in the family, although he did pinch hit in Sunday's contest. The Tigers have not made a roster move involving Baez and at this point it's possible they won't. Zack Short is playing shortstop Tuesday.

Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said in an interview on MLB Network on Tuesday that Bichette (knee) was "moving around with very few symptoms, almost not at all" during a workout Monday, Ben Wagner of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Bichette resumed baseball activities a few days ago and looks to be ramping things back up with encouraging results as he works his way back from patellar tendinitis in his right knee. Toronto has not provided a timetable for the star shortstop's return, but if things continue to trend in the right direction, there seems to be a chance Bichette can be activated when first eligible Friday or shortly thereafter.
