Perdomo went 1-for-2 with three walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-7 loss to Washington.

Perdomo broke a 1-1 tie with a solo shot in the third inning. It was his eighth homer in 102 games and snapped an 0-for-15 run for the shortstop. The slump went back further than that, as Perdomo entered Sunday's contest having gone 4-for-37 (.108) over the previous 11 games.

Abrams went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Diamondbacks.

It was Abrams' fourth career multi-homer game and his second of the season. The All-Star shortstop is on a remarkable power surge, blasting seven long balls in his last seven outings while hitting .567 (17-for-30) with 14 RBI during that span. Abrams also notably became the first National with seven homers in a seven-game period since Kyle Schwarber in 2021, and his 27 homers for the campaign have broken Ian Desmond's franchise record for the most in a season by a shortstop, per Patrick Stevens of MLB.com.

Atlanta will promote Southisene from High-A Rome to Double-A Columbus on Monday, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.

Southisene will take the next step in his professional career, joining Columbus after slashing .255/.379/.428 with four home runs and nine stolen bases in 38 contests with Rome. The 19-year-old is regarded as a plus defender at shortstop and should have a good chance at sticking at the position once he eventually reaches the majors.

De La Cruz went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Sunday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

De La Cruz has 18 homers on the year, including five over his last 14 games. In that span, he's batting .321 (18-for-56) with six RBI and five stolen bases. The shortstop continues to be a strong all-around presence atop the Reds' lineup. He's batting .278 with an .860 OPS, 18 homers, 18 steals, 47 RBI, 58 runs scored, 15 doubles and four triples over 85 contests.

Jebb (thumb) has gone 5-for-9 with two home runs and five RBI in two games for Triple-A Indianapolis since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Jebb had been on the shelf since April 28 after fracturing and suffering ligament damage to his left thumb and undergoing surgery. The 24-year-old hasn't needed much time to rediscover his power stroke upon returning to action at Indianapolis and has now slugged four home runs in eight Triple-A games this season.

Triple-A Nashville placed Williams (wrist) on the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Williams hadn't played since July 7 due to the wrist injury before Nashville decided to deactivate him. The 22-year-old shortstop has produced a .234/.341/.385 slash line with nine home runs and 21 stolen bases across 358 plate appearances at Nashville this season, his first in the Brewers organization after he was acquired in January as part of the deal that sent Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers to the Mets.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Pirates.

Swanson tallied his second straight multi-hit performance, and he has four of them across his last six games. After a slow start to the season, the veteran shortstop is turning things around with a .286/.315/.486 slash line in 19 contests this month. Swanson is also approaching another 20-20 campaign with 16 home runs and 14 stolen bases, and his ability to hit for power and swipe bags has propped up his fantasy value even while his batting average languished.

Tovar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Tovar will hit the bench for the second time in four games while the Rockies go with Willi Castro at shortstop in the series finale in Milwaukee. Since matching a season high with three hits in a July 3 win over the Giants, Tovar has gone 5-for-46 (.109) with two extra-base hits, zero stolen bases, five runs and two RBI over a stretch of 15 games.

Bogaerts is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Bogaerts will hit the bench for the first time since July 6 in what appears to be a routine day off. Sung-Mun Song will draw the start at shortstop in place of Bogaerts.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Angels.

Adames lined a double to left field in the second inning, marking his second two-bagger over the last three games. The veteran shortstop has recorded three doubles in July, during which he's batting just .197 with 13 RBI, 10 runs scored, four home runs and a stolen base in 74 plate appearances. He's now slashing .225/.276/.429 with 50 runs scored, 45 RBI, 18 long balls and two stolen bases across 416 plate appearances on the campaign.
