Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Rojas (hamstring) is undergoing tests before Wednesday's game against the Mets, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. "We don't know how short-term or long-term it's going to be," Roberts said of Rojas' status.

Rojas injured his hamstring during Tuesday's victory over the Mets, and the shortstop has dealt with lower-body injuries throughout the 2023 campaign. The 34-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now, but the results of the testing will play a large part in determining whether Rojas will require a stint on the injured list.

Watson has missed the last week of action for High-A Beloit with an ankle injury, but he has not yet been placed on the injured list, Fish on the Farm reports.

According to the report, the team is monitoring the situation closely and they are hoping to avoid placing Watson on the injured list, but he has not played since April 11. Watson generated buzz with a strong spring training showing and got a vote of confidence with an assignment to High-A as a 20-year-old after striking out 35.5 percent of the time at Single-A last year.

Rojas (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rojas injured his hamstring in the fifth inning of Tuesday's victory over the Dodgers. There was some talk that Mookie Betts would get the start at shortstop for Wednesday's game, but he isn't back from paternity leave. Luke Williams will instead handle shortstop duties and hit eighth against Max Scherzer and the Mets.

Crawford will take a seat Wednesday against the Marlins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

With left-hander Trevor Rogers on the mound for Miami, Crawford will exit the lineup for the series finale. Thairo Estrada will take over at shortstop and bat leadoff versus Miami.

Ahmed went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Cardinals.

Ahmed was part of Arizona's six-run fourth inning, plating two runs after connecting on a pitch that bounced in the dirt and fell into short left field for a double. The 33-year-old shortstop, who battled a balky shoulder the last two seasons and underwent surgery in June of 2022, is off to a promising start. He's hit safely in eight of 11 games, going 12-for-38 (.316) with six RBI, three steals and four runs scored.

Rojas left Tuesday's victory over the Mets with a hamstring injury, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Rojas was pinch hit for in the fifth inning by Luke Williams. It's just the latest injury for the shortstop, who has dealt with lower-body injuries throughout the 2023 campaign and also in spring training. Mookie Betts is expected to get the start at shortstop for Wednesday's series finale against the Mets.

Adames went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two additional RBI during Tuesday's 11-inning win at Seattle.

The 27-year-old doubled home Christian Yelich during the third inning, clubbed a solo homer in the sixth and delivered an RBI groundout during the 11th to put the Brewers ahead for good. It's the second three-hit game of the season for Adames, who has four home runs and is tied for second on the team with 12 RBI.

Rojas was pinch hit for in the fifth inning in Tuesday's game against the Mets, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Rojas was removed in the fifth inning in favor of Luke Williams. The shortstop looked to be in pain after making a throw while fielding a ball that may have hit him in the midsection. It appears very likely that Mookie Betts will be starting at shortstop for the Dodgers on Wednesday.

The Dodgers selected Williams' contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Williams is now on the 40-man roster and will fill the spot on the 26-man roster left vacant by Mookie Betts, (personal) who has been placed on the paternity leave list. Despite getting called up, Williams isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets and could be in for a brief stay in the big leagues.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs and a stolen base in Monday's 10-1 win over the Athletics.

After missing a game last Wednesday versus the Mariners with a side injury, Swanson went hitless with seven strikeouts in eight at-bats in his first two games back in action, but he's settled back in nicely at the plate since then. He rapped out three hits and stole a base in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers, and then stayed hot Monday with his seventh multi-hit effort of the season. Though he has collected only three extra-base knocks (all doubles) through his first 14 games with the Cubs, Swanson has rewarded fantasy managers with a .368 average, three stolen bases, 12 runs and five RBI.
