Bogaerts went 0-for-3 with two walks, one RBI and two stolen bases in Friday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers.

Bogaerts wasn't able to hit safely Friday, but he drew multiple walks for the sixth time this season. His pair of steals were his first thefts since April 10. The shortstop has gone 11 games without a multi-hit effort, going just 6-for-40 during that slight slump. He's down to a .283/.379/.467 slash line with six home runs, three steals, 14 RBI, 22 runs scored and four doubles through 32 contests in his first year with the Padres.

Shewmake is starting at shortstop and batting ninth Friday against the Orioles.

Shewmake will enter the lineup after being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, replacing Vaughn Grissom at shortstop. Grissom has struggled to a .190 average with seven strikeouts over his last six games, so he could slide into a timeshare with Shewmake if the latter performs well in his big-league debut.

Barrero isn't in the Reds' lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

With just a .588 OPS over his last five games, Barrero will take a seat to begin Friday's contest. Kevin Newman will take over for him at shortstop and bat eighth.

Adrianza was placed on the 10-day injured list by Atlanta on Friday with right elbow inflammation.

The move is retroactive to May 2, so Adrianza will be eligible to return when Atlanta begins a road trip May 12. Braden Shewmake has taken his spot on the roster.

Shewmake was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Friday.

Shewmake has slashed .243/.282/.456 with five homers and nine steals at Gwinnett this season while splitting time between second base and shortstop. With Vaughn Grissom not hitting much, Mark Bowman of MLB.com believes Shewmake could get a long look at shortstop due to his superior glove until Orlando Arcia (wrist) returns.

Tovar went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Brewers.

Tovar delivered a two-RBI double in the seventh inning to start a late rally for the Rockies. The performance extended his hitting streak to seven games, during which he has gone 8-for-24 with a home run, four RBI and five runs scored in that span. He has benefitted from a lengthy homestand -- only one of those seven games has been on the road -- but he has still quietly improved his season-long line in recent weeks.

Edman went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in a loss to the Angels on Thursday.

Edman belted a three-run shot to right field in the fourth inning, giving him his first multi-RBI game since April 19. The shortstop had been in the midst of a slump coming into the contest, going just 2-for-15 over his previous three games. Edman is up to five homers and 13 RBI through 30 games on the campaign, putting him on pace to surpass last year's career-best marks of 13 long balls and 57 RBI.

Berti went 3-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Atlanta.

Berti and Jorge Soler went a combined 6-for-10 on Thursday, while the rest of the Marlins managed just four hits and three walks. Berti's steal snapped a span of 16 games without one for the speedster. He's up to five thefts with two home runs, eight RBI, 13 runs scored and a .261/.324/.370 slash line through 103 plate appearances.

Arcia (wrist) began taking dry swings Thursday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

It's a significant step forward for Arcia, who had been limited to throwing and running over the last few weeks but is now getting into a fuller range of baseball activities. There is still no exact timetable on his return from a microfracture in his left wrist, an injury he suffered April 12, but the middle of May seems like a reasonable target as things stand with his ongoing rehab.

Berti is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Thursday versus Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Jazz Chisholm has the day off and Joey Wendle (intercostal) is still out on a rehab assignment, so Berti will make get another turn out of the leadoff spot -- his second in the Marlins' last four games. The 33-year-old speedster figures to move back into more of a utility role once Wendle returns.
