Marlins manager Don Mattingly revealed Monday that Wendle (hamstring) has resumed baseball activities and has started a running progression, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Wendle's ability to resume on-field work suggests that the platelet-rich plasma injection he received for his strained right hamstring earlier this season has yielded the desired effect. Since Wendle is now in the midst of his second stint on the I0-day injured list this season due to a right hamstring injury, the Marlins will likely proceed cautiously with him before activating him. He doesn't look like a good bet to be activated this week.

Marcano went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Atlanta.

At least against right-handed pitching, the lefty-hitting Marcano appears to have at least temporarily seized the leadoff gig from Ke'Bryan Hayes. The 22-year-old set the table Sunday for the second day in a row and was one of the few bright spots for the Pirates in Atlanta's four-game series sweep, as he produced six hits and scored one run across his 13 at-bats. At least until the Pirates get back Josh VanMeter (finger) or Kevin Newman (groin) back from the injured list, Marcano looks primed to serve as the Pirates' everyday second baseman.

Adames went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 4-1 win over Washington.

Adames provided most of Milwaukee's offense Sunday, knocking an RBI double in the third inning before taking Evan Lee deep for a two-run shot in the fifth. He's now 3-for-20 with two homers since returning from the injured list. Sunday was his first multi-hit performance since May 5 and it bumped his season slash line to .200/.290/.467 with 28 RBI and 18 extra-base hits.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Astros.

Rojas singled and stole second in the fourth inning, ending an 0-for-13 skid at the plate. The shortstop's gone 7-for-36 (.194) through 11 games in June, but he's retained a starting role with Joey Wendle (hamstring) and Brian Anderson (back) sidelined. After notching 13 steals in 16 tries last year, Rojas has just two thefts in three attempts so far in 2022. He's added a .213/.280/.320 slash line with four home runs, 13 RBI, 17 runs scored, four doubles and a triple in 50 games.

Edman went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

The 27-year-old played hero in this one, launching a walkoff blast in the ninth inning after the Cardinals were facing a 4-1 deficit heading into the bottom of the eighth. Edman is rolling to begin the month of June, collecting a hit in nine of 10 starts and slashing .293/.383/.439 with two homers, three steals, three RBI and 10 runs.

Williams went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Astros.

Williams contributed an RBI single in the second inning. He got aboard again in the ninth, stole second base and scored on a Jon Berti single for an insurance run. Williams hasn't gotten a ton of playing time since he was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on June 1, logging only 12 at-bats. He's posted a .292/.370/.375 slash line in 27 plate appearances between the Marlins and the Giants this season, though he often enters games late as a defensive replacement due to his ability to play all around the field.

Berti went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Astros.

Berti had a groundout lead to a run in the second inning and an RBI single in the ninth. His stolen base was the infielder's 11th of the season, nine of which have come in his last 14 contests. The speedy 32-year-old has hit fairly well this year with a .269/.382/.398 slash line, two home runs, 10 RBI, 18 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 110 plate appearances.

Berti went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 7-4 win over the Astros.

The veteran utility player continues to take advantage of his opportunities. Berti has started 10 straight games, slashing .306/.390/.361 over that stretch with four RBI, six runs and six of his 10 steals on the season.

Crawford (quadriceps) went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 7-2 win over the Dodgers.

Crawford was limited to pinch-hitting duties in the last two contests after suffering a minor right quadriceps injury Tuesday. He played the full game at shortstop Friday, so he should be considered fine going forward, though he may continue to see the occasional day off for rest. The 35-year-old is slashing .224/.307/.361 with five home runs, 25 RBI, 24 runs scored, a stolen base, six doubles and two triples through 205 plate appearances.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a walk in Friday's 2-0 win over the Reds.

Edman picked up his steal in the eighth inning, though he wasn't brought around to score. He had gone six games without a steal, which is tied for his second-longest stretch of the season after he began the year with no thefts in the first nine contests. The infielder is slashing .275/.356/.405 with 15 stolen bases, five home runs, 23 RBI and 46 runs scored through 251 plate appearances.
