Reyes started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 6-3 win over Colorado.

Reyes made a second straight start at shortstop as part of manager Alex Cora's overhaul of the infield. He became the team's primary shortstop over Enrique Hernandez, whose 14 errors leads MLB. Cora added that Reyes is not viewed as an everyday player, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, and will be replaced once Yu Chang (wrist) is ready to come off the injured list.

Seager went 1-for-3 with a walk and solo home run in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Angels.

Seager's blast in the seventh inning -- the second of back-to-back homers -- provided the winning run. He's homered in two consecutive games and three times over the last five. The 29-year-old shortstop has been on a remarkable tear since returning from a hamstring injury in May, slashing .356/.395/.683 with eight home runs, 32 RBI and 20 runs over 25 games.

Perdomo started at second base and went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to Philadelphia.

The four times reaching base was a season high for Perdomo, who eventually came around to score on Christian Walker's three-run home run in the eighth inning. Perdomo filled in for Ketel Marte (back) at second base -- his sixth start there -- and also took his spot atop the batting order against lefty Ranger Suarez. Marte did appear in the game as a pinch hitter and could rejoin the starting lineup in Thursday's series finale.

Berti went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.

Berti hadn't recorded a steal in his last 21 games, though a drop in playing time since the start of June has made it difficult for him to get many chances on the basepaths. The speedster is up to eight steals in 12 attempts this season, a far cry from the 41 thefts he logged a year ago. He's slashing a respectable .259/.308/.330 with two home runs, 12 RBI, 25 runs scored, a triple and five doubles over 203 plate appearances. He's at a 6.9 percent walk rate, and the struggles to get on base mixed with a spot in the bottom half of the order will likely continue to limit his effectiveness.

Bogaerts went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Guardians.

Bogaerts has gone 7-for-17 (.412) with three walks over five games since he returned from missing nearly a week with a nagging wrist injury. It sure hasn't looked like it's bothering him lately, though he's now gone 15 games without a home run. For the season, the star shortstop is slashing .264/.348/.403 with seven homers, seven steals, 23 RBI and 35 runs scored over 62 contests.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's loss to the Giants.

Edman had gone 26 games since his last home run before crushing a second-inning grand slam off Anthony DeSclafani to put the Cardinals up 4-2. He's now recorded just three extra-base hits in June, hitting .155 over that stretch, and has seen his average progressively decline with each passing month. The grand slam was the second of his career.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 10-6 win over the Pirates.

For the fifth straight game, Swanson batted fifth, and he's now batting .286 during this stretch. The Cubs have moved Mike Tauchman up in the order with Swanson moving down. It could allow the shortstop to collect more RBI moving forward, though he may score fewer runs. Either way, his fantasy value hinges on his ability to make consistent contact at the plate, which Swanson is certainly capable of.

Neto was removed from Wednesday's game due to cramping in his left side.

The team described Neto's injury as a precaution, so it's likely he'll be able to return to the Angels' lineup without missing much time, if any. The 22-year-old shortstop was enjoying a nice four-game hit streak entering Wednesday while slashing .467/.467/1.200 in that span.

Neto was removed from Wednesday's game against Texas for undisclosed reasons, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Jared Walsh entered the game to pinch hit for Neto in the second inning, and the Angels have yet to announce a reason for Neto's removal. The team should provide an update relatively soon, and Neto should be considered day-to-day until more is known.

Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said Wednesday that Mondesi (knee) hasn't suffered a setback but rather is still working to regain strength in his surgically repaired left knee, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Bloom was addressing reporters one day after it was reported that Mondesi has been shut down from all baseball activities. He noted that the team has "been working hard to get strength back in that leg" so that Mondesi can progress to game action, but "there's been this recurrent soreness" that hasn't allowed it to happen, so the club is hitting the pause button. Mondesi almost certainly isn't going to come back before the All-Star break at this point, if he makes it back at all this season.
