Edman went 0-for-1 with three walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Mets.

Edman has four steals in his last 11 games despite batting a paltry .105 (4-for-38) with five walks in that span. While he was able to find a way on base multiple times Sunday, that's been a rarity lately -- it's his strong defense in center field that has kept him in the lineup. Edman is at a .233/.299/.401 slash line with 12 stolen bases, seven home runs, 26 RBI and 35 runs scored across 253 plate appearances.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Mets.

After slumping a bit last week, DeJong has rebounded to go 6-for-23 (.261) with two homers over his last six games. The shortstop's third-inning blast gave the Cardinals a 6-4 lead Sunday. For the season, he's at a .228/.298/.444 slash line with 10 homers, 21 RBI, 25 runs scored and three stolen bases over 46 contests. With Tommy Edman taking over in center field, DeJong has seen an extended run as the starting shortstop despite his mediocre work at the plate in recent weeks.

Bogaerts went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rays.

Bogaerts saw his seven-game hitting streak end Saturday, but he's been sharp lately, hitting safely in 12 of his last 14 games. The steal was also his third in his last five contests, giving him nine thefts on the season. The shortstop is at a .265/.352/.400 slash line with seven home runs, 24 RBI and 36 runs scored through 66 contests, but his recent hitting is much more in line with his career level of play.

Schmitt (arm) underwent X-rays that came back negative after exiting Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Schmitt was removed from Sunday's matchup shortly after being hit by a pitch on his right arm, but he doesn't appear to be dealing with any structural damage. He should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against the Padres.

Schmitt was removed from Sunday's game against the Dodgers in the bottom of the eighth inning due to an apparent right arm injury, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Schmitt was hit by a pitch on his right arm in the top of the eighth and initially stayed in the game to run the bases, but he was replaced defensively in the bottom half of the frame. Prior to his departure, he went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts. It's unclear whether he'll be available for Monday's series opener against the Padres.

Tovar was removed from Sunday's game against Atlanta in order to be with his wife after she went into labor, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Tovar went 1-for-3 with a strikeout before he was replaced in the field for the bottom of the fifth inning. Assuming the 21-year-old moves to the paternity list Monday, he should be back with the Rockies ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Angels.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Giants, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Rojas started the past four games and will receive a day off after he went 6-for-16 with a double, two stolen bases and two runs during that stretch. Mookie Betts will receive a look at shortstop Sunday while Jason Heyward starts in right field.

Edman went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

Edman's still not getting much going in June, bating .154 (8-for-52) on the month, but he has managed three stolen bases and four extra-base hits. He's remained the starting center fielder even with Dylan Carlson back from an ankle injury for the last week. Edman's slump has him down to a .235/.291/.403 slash line with seven home runs, 11 steals, 26 RBI and 34 runs scored through 68 contests, but his defensive versatility should keep his place in the lineup fairly secure.

Abrams is not in the starting lineup against the Marlins on Sunday.

Abrams generally gets one day off per week, and the 22-year-old infielder will get a rest after picking up one hit in seven at-bats over the first two games against the Marlins over the weekend. Ildemaro Vargas will play shortstop and hit eighth.

Wendle is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle returned to the lineup Friday after a short absence due to a groin injury, and he went 3-for-8 over the first two games of the set against the Nationals. Jacob Amaya is making his MLB debut and hitting ninth while playing shortstop.
