Gorman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

The lefty-hitting Gorman will take a seat for the series opener in Miami while southpaw Braxton Garrett toes the rubber for the Marlins. Jose Fermin will fill in at second base for Gorman, who is batting .186 against lefties this season.

Triolo went 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Rockies.

Triolo drew his fourth straight start, though two of those came with Oneil Cruz briefly sidelined. He went only 3-for-14 with seven strikeouts in that span, and he's likely to return to a reserve role so long as Cruz, Nick Gonzales and Ke'Bryan Hayes remain healthy.

Gorman went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Cubs.

Gorman entered Sunday just 1-for-28 over his last seven games, though the slump hasn't cost him playing time. The second baseman picked up a steal after his second-inning single, giving him three thefts on four attempts this year. For the season, Gorman is slashing .208/.287/.442 with 15 home runs, 33 RBI, 30 runs scored and eight doubles over 64 contests. He's also striking out at a 35.5 percent rate, and until he corrects that issue, he's likely to carry a low batting average.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Sunday that Edman (wrist) is expected to report to the rookie-level Florida Complex League or Single-A Palm Beach this week to take some at-bats and get in some defensive reps, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Mamol didn't explicitly say that Edman will begin a formal rehab assignment, so the 29-year-old may just be participating in simulated games this week at the Cardinals' spring facility in Florida. In any case, the activity marks another important step in the recovery process for Edman, who has been out all season while he ramps back up from October wrist surgery. Edman won a Gold Glove at second base in 2021 and logged 46 starts at shortstop in 2023, but the outfield might represent his clearest path to consistent playing time once he returns from the 60-day injured list.

Triolo will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Triolo will pick up his fourth straight start, but two came while shortstop Oneil Cruz was sitting out due to a sore ankle. Cruz is back in the lineup Sunday, but Triolo will get the nod at third base in place of a resting Ke'Bryan Hayes. Expect Triolo to return to a utility role when the Pirates open their series against the Reds on Monday.

Gonzales went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored Saturday against Colorado.

Gonzales tallied Pittsburgh's first run of the game with a solo home run in the fourth inning, his fifth long ball of the season. That knock also extended his hitting streak to six games, and he's hitting .292 with nine RBI and five runs scored across 12 contests in June.

Rodgers (hamstring) has engaged in all baseball activities in recent days, MLB.com reports.

Rodgers has been running and hitting soft-toss pitching, though he took another step forward by doing light fielding drills Saturday. The team has said they expect Rodgers to return from the 10-day injured list shortly after he's eligible for activation Tuesday. He'll likely complete a brief minor-league rehab assignment prior to being reinstated.

Garcia is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

It will be southpaw Trevor Rogers on the hill for Miami, so the left-handed-hitting Garcia will begin the contest on the bench. Switch hitter Ildemaro Vargas will occupy second base.

Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Friday versus the Royals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

With southpaw Cole Ragans on the mound for Kansas City, the lefty-hitting Lux will watch the beginning of Friday's contest from Los Angeles' dugout. Miguel Rojas will fill in at the keystone and bat eighth.

Biggio is in the lineup at third base and batting eighth Thursday versus the Rangers.

Biggio is getting his second start at third base for the Dodgers after going 1-for-3 in his debut for the team Wednesday. Thursday's start comes with righty Michael Lorenzen on the mound for the Rangers. With Max Muncy (oblique) remaining on the injured list and Enrique Hernandez sitting for a second straight game, it appears Biggio will be the primary option at third versus right-handers.
