Crawford is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Crawford missed two games with a bruised left knee before rejoining the lineup Friday, and he went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a hit-by-pitch. Thairo Estrada will shift to shortstop Saturday while Wilmer Flores starts at the keystone.

Berti isn't starting Saturday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Berti is in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak in which he's hit .351 with a triple, two doubles, five runs, four RBI and nine stolen bases. However, he'll get a breather Saturday while Willians Astudillo starts at the hot corner and bats seventh.

Rojas (foot) will start Saturday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas was scratched from Friday's lineup to a right foot bone contusion, but it's apparently not a serious issue since he'll retake the field Saturday. The veteran shortstop has a .278/.338/.389 slash line with two home runs and nine RBI through 22 games in June.

Turner went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 4-1 win over Atlanta.

His fifth-inning blast off Ian Anderson gave the Dodgers an insurance run. Turner has at least three hits in three of the last four games and has hit safely in 15 of the last 16, slashing a sizzling .388/.417/.642 over that stretch with five of his 10 homers and four of his 14 steals on the year, along with 10 RBI and 14 runs.

Berti went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Mets.

Despite reaching base three times, Berti didn't find his usual success as a runner. He got picked off at first base by Taijuan Walker in the first inning, then got thrown out trying to steal second in the ninth -- the first time Berti's been caught stealing since April 28, snapping a streak of 20 straight pilfers. The 32-year-old utility man is in no danger of losing playing time however, given his .318/.389/.400 slash line in 22 contests in June.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Friday's 5-3 win over the Marlins.

The shortstop connected on a solo shot off Sandy Alcantara in the first inning before providing the game-winning hit with a bases-loaded double in the sixth. Lindor is hitting only .212 (17-for-80) in June, but he's still been somewhat productive with four homers, a steal, seven runs and 14 RBI through 20 games.

Crawford (knee) is in the lineup for Friday's game against the Reds, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford missed the past two games after suffering a bruised left knee Tuesday, but he's tentatively in the lineup for Friday's contest. The 35-year-old will need to go through a pre-game workout before being fully cleared to take the field, but as of now he's expected to play versus Cincinnati.

Williams was added to the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The 25-year-old didn't start in any of the last three games, but he'll take over at third base and bat ninth after Miguel Rojas (foot) was scratched from Friday's lineup. Over 18 games since joining the Marlins, Williams has hit .200 with a double, six runs, an RBI and three stolen bases.

Rojas was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets due to a right foot bone contusion, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Rojas was initially slated to start at shortstop and bat eighth before he was removed from the lineup with just over two hours remaining until first pitch. The severity of his injury isn't yet clear, but Jon Berti will shift to shortstop while Luke Williams enters the lineup at third base Friday.

Wendle (hamstring) will serve as the designated hitter during a rehab game at Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Wendle has been sidelined since the beginning of June due to his hamstring injury, but he'll be able to return to game action with the minor-league club this weekend. It's possible that the 32-year-old will require multiple rehab games, but it seems likely that he'll rejoin the Marlins sometime next week. Brian Anderson (back) is also in Jacksonville on a rehab assignment, and it's not yet clear how the playing time at the hot corner will be dished out once Anderson, Wendle and Jon Berti are all healthy.
