Crawford was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rockies with right quadriceps tightness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

The 35-year-old went 0-for-2 during Tuesday's contest before being lifted for a pinch hitter during the fifth inning. The severity of the injury remains unclear, and Crawford should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Adames (ankle/quadriceps) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

It was previously reported Adames was poised to be reinstated for Tuesday's series opener versus the Phillies, but manager Craig Counsell said the team wants to give the shortstop an extra day to make sure he's fully healthy. The 27-year-old also indicated he feels 100 percent healthy, so it appears the delayed activation is simply a precautionary move from the Brewers.

Wendle (hamstring) isn't feeling sore Tuesday after receiving a PRP injection four days prior, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Wendle has missed just shy of a week with a right hamstring strain, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. Whether or not he'll be ready to return when first eligible is not yet clear, however.

Berti will start at third base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Berti received the leadoff nod in the Marlins' last game Sunday against the Giants, but that's only because Jazz Chisholm was getting the day off. Even though he'll drop in the lineup Tuesday with Chisholm back in action, Berti looks like he'll continue to hold down a regular role at third base until either Joey Wendle (hamstring) or Brian Anderson (back) returns from the injured list. While starting each of the Marlins' first six games of June, Berti went 8-for-22 with two doubles, four runs, two RBI and three stolen bases.

The Phillies placed Camargo on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right knee strain.

Camargo had started in seven of the Phillies' last eight games, but his move to the IL should clear the way for rookie Bryson Stott to handle an everyday role at second base. Even while playing on at least a semi-regular basis all season before picking up the injury, Camargo has produced modest counting stats (three home runs, no stolen bases, 15 RBI and eight runs) over 143 plate appearances.

Adrianza (quadriceps) was activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Adrianza was reinstated from the 60-day injured list following a quadriceps injury he suffered in late March. He will return to the major-league roster Tuesday after completing a two-week rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester. Lucius Fox was optioned to Rochester in a corresponding move Tuesday. Adrianza is set for his debut after he signed a one-year contract with the Nationals this past offseason following a 2021 season in which he batted .247 with five homers, 28 RBI and 32 runs in 109 games with the Braves.

Castillo will start at shortstop and bat fifth in Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

With Pittsburgh sending Rodolfo Castro back to Triple-A Indianapolis over the weekend, Castillo looks primed to get a look as the team's everyday shortstop. Though he enjoyed a hot start to the season, Castillo has been mired in a deep slump at the plate since the beginning of May, slashing .197/.256/.310 in 26 games dating back to the start of last month.

Marcano is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

With a tough southpaw (Tarik Skubal) on the hill for the opposition, the lefty-hitting Marcano will take a seat following an eight-game stretch in which he went 6-for-25 with two home runs, four walks, a double and a stolen base. Josh VanMeter's (finger) recent placement on the injured list creates a path for Marcano to play often at second base, though he may end up settling into a platoon with the righty-hitting Yu Chang, who picks up the start at the keystone Tuesday.

Watson is hitting .218/.264/.376 with six homers, nine steals and a 9:76 BB:K through 41 games for Single-A Jupiter.

Yes, you read that right -- he's struck out 76 times in 41 games and 178 plate appearances. That's a brutal 42.7 percent clip. Watson has been even worse recently, having whiffed 33 times in his last 69 at-bats over a span of 17 games; he's collected just 11 hits (10 singles and a double) in that span. A first-round pick last year, Watson is still only 19 and has plenty of time to get right in the minors, but his hot first few games of the year feel like a distant memory now.

Barrero (hand) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Barrero's rehab assignment was scheduled to end Wednesday, and he'll remain in Louisville now that he's back to full health. The 24-year-old appeared in 14 games during his rehab assignment and slashed .204/.316/.449 with three homers, six runs, six RBI and a stolen base. He'll be a candidate to provide utility depth for the major-league club at some point later in the year.
