The Reds selected Jordan's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

A minor-league Rule 5 pickup over the offseason, Jordan will get his first call to the big leagues at 28 years old. Jordan slashed .302/.384/.443 with five home runs and six stolen bases this season with Louisville while seeing time at left field, center field, second base and third base. He'll make his MLB debut at a new position Monday against the Pirates, starting in right field and batting eighth. The righty-hitting Jordan will likely see most of his starts against left-handed pitching while he's up with the Reds.

Rodgers went 2-for-4 Sunday against the Nationals.

Rodgers was activated from the injured list Friday after missing around two weeks with a hamstring injury, and he was in the starting lineup both Saturday and Sunday. He hit cleanup on both occasions, going a combined 3-for-8 with a home run and three RBI. The Rockies will head on a five-game road trip starting Tuesday, and Rodgers has hit just .239 with no home runs away from Coors Field this season.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that Edman (wrist) could begin a rehab assignment soon, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Edman has taken live at-bats from both sides of the plate in recent days and his surgically repaired right wrist has responded well. Since he's resided on the injured list all season, the 29-year-old would presumably require an extended minor-league rehab assignment before being activated, but he's tracking toward a return to the Cardinals before the All-Star break.

Gorman went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Giants.

Gorman got aboard on a fielder's choice and picked up a steal for the second game in a row. The second baseman has gone 0-for-9 with a hit-by-pitch and two sacrifice flies over his last three contests. He's gone 17 games without a multi-hit effort, batting a poor .078 (5-for-64) in that span, though two of those hits have been homers. The slump has him down to a .194/.272/.421 slash line with 16 home runs, 36 RBI, five steals and 31 runs scored across 70 contests. Gorman's struggled to hit for average over his three years in the majors, and a career-worst 35.9 percent strikeout rate isn't doing him any favors in 2024.

Gonzales isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Gonzales will get a chance to regroup Sunday after going 1-for-17 with five strikeouts over his last five games. In his place, Jared Triolo will get the nod at the keystone and bat sixth.

Lux went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's win over the Angels.

Lux drew nine pitches in his first at-bat before clobbering a solo shot off Zach Plesac to put the Dodgers on the board. The second baseman would also add an RBI single in the fifth, giving him just his third multi-hit performance this month. Lux has now hit safely in three of his last four contests, posting three RBI and three runs over that brief stretch. Saturday also marked the first time in his last six games that he didn't strike out.

Turang went 3-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in Saturday's loss to the Padres.

Turang reached base four times in the contest, topping things off with a ninth-inning grand slam to bring Milwaukee back within two runs of the Padres. The grand slam was the second of his career, and he's now collected at least one RBI in three consecutive games. Turang has also recorded multiple hits in three straight and is now batting .296 on the campaign with five homers, 31 RBI and 26 stolen bases. Perhaps the only downside is that he's been caught stealing in each of his last three attempts, including twice Saturday.

Marte started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 12-1 loss to Philadelphia.

Marte hadn't played the field since Wednesday; he served as the designated hitter Thursday then was held out of the starting lineup Friday. All appears to be fine for Marte, who was merely given a two-game respite from playing the field.

Bogaerts (shoulder) resumed running the bases, taking light grounders and doing one-handed drills in the batting cage this past week, MLB.com reports.

Bogaerts broke his left shoulder while making a diving stop in the infield May 20 and remains on the 10-day IL. The veteran infielder isn't likely to return until July at the earliest, given that he has yet to take regular swings. When he does come back from the IL, Bogaerts indicated that he will adjust his swing to use a two-handed follow-through in order to protect his injured shoulder. He's undergoing regular imaging on the shoulder to determine when he'll be allowed to start ramping up further.

Garcia went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Rockies.

The Nationals erupted for 11 runs at Coors Field, and Garcia did his part by taking Dakota Hudson deep in the third inning. The second baseman snapped a 21-game homer drought with the performance, and on the season he's slashing .266/.299/.395 with six long balls, 21 runs, 31 RBI and a career-high 10 steals in 64 contests.
