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.

Grissom will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Monday's game in San Diego.

Grissom has produced hits in each of his first three starts since being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday. While Orlando Arcia (wrist) remains on the injured list for the foreseeable future, Grissom looks like he'll be locked in as Atlanta's full-time starter at shortstop, despite the organization's concerns about his defense.

Berti is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Berti has been the Marlins' everyday shortstop since Joey Wendle (intercostal) landed on the 10-day injured list, but he'll get a day off Monday. Garrett Hampson will draw the start at shortstop in the series opener.

Lindor finished 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.

Lindor took JP Sears deep in the sixth inning to put the Mets back up 2-1. It was his fourth long ball of the year and his third over the last four games. Lindor has now hit safely in nine of his last 10 games and is second in the National League with 16 RBI. He's sitting at a slash line of .246/.371/.561 to go with a remarkable .932 OPS through 16 games.

Edman went 2-for-5 and had a walk-off single in the 10th as the Cardinals beat the Pirates 5-4.

Edman redeemed himself with the game-winning hit after he had grounded into an inning-ending double play in the fourth with the bases loaded. It was just his second RBI on the year and his fourth multi-hit effort. The Cardinals are slated to face five righties this coming week, meaning Edman should continue to be slotted into the bottom part of the order a majority of the time.

Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Cubs.

Rojas has a .143/.200/.179 slash line in 30 plate appearances this season and will take a seat Sunday after he started the past four games. Chris Taylor will work at shortstop and bat eighth in the series finale against Chicago.

Crawford is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Crawford will take a seat against left-hander Matthew Boyd for the series finale against the Tigers. Thairo Estrada is leading off and playing shortstop as the Giants look for the sweep.
