    Brewers' Willy Adames: Quad issue crops up

    Adames (ankle) isn't in the lineup for Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday after experiencing discomfort in his right quadriceps during his first rehab game, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    The 26-year-old went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk during his first rehab appearance Sunday, but he apparently picked up the quad issue and won't play Tuesday. Nashville has a scheduled day off Wednesday, and Adames is expected to be back on the field for Thursday's contest, so the injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Day off Tuesday

    Crawford will sit Tuesday against the Phillies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Crawford finds himself on the bench for just the fourth time all season. He owns a .591 OPS over his last 14 games and has gone hitless in his last two, so it does look as though he could use a day off. Donovan Walton will start at shortstop.

  • Phillies' Johan Camargo: Gets fourth straight start

    Camargo will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Giants.

    Camargo seems to have wrested the starting shortstop job back from Bryson Stott, who is on the bench Tuesday for the fourth game in a row. Didi Gregorius (knee) is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday and could be back by the end of the week, however, so Camargo's standing atop the depth chart likely won't last much longer.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Swipes seventh bag

    Lindor went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 13-5 win over the Nationals.

    The shortstop is on fire right now, racking up six multi-hit performances in the last 11 games and batting .364 (16-for-44) over that stretch. The hot streak has boosted Lindor's slash line on the season to .262/.350/.450 with eight homers, seven steals, 37 runs and 40 RBI through 50 contests.

  • Nick Ahmed SS | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Executes light activity

    Ahmed (undisclosed) resumed light baseball activity May 27, Jack Sommers of MLB.com reports.

    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Ahmed is still dealing with fatigue, while the shortstop said he's "responded OK from" taking batting practice, fielding light groundballs and playing catch. "It hit me quick and hard," Ahmed said of the virus. "I've been trying to recover since. I'm still not back to normal yet, unfortunately." Geraldo Perdomo is the primary starter at shortstop while Ahmed works his way back.

  • Pirates' Tucupita Marcano: Belts first big-league homer

    Marcano went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 6-5 win against the Dodgers on Monday.

    In just his fifth game of the year, Marcano delivered a big shot against one of the NL's top pitchers, taking Walker Buehler deep for a three-run blast in the second inning. The long ball was Marcano's first as a major leaguer in his 55th career at-bat. He has never been much of a power hitter, topping out at seven homers in the minors during the 2021 campaign.

  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Two hits, steal in win

    Edman went 2-for-5 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-3 win over the Padres.

    Edman was on base for Nolan Gorman's two-run home run in the third inning. In the fifth, Edman added an RBI single and a steal, his 11th theft in 12 attempts this season. This was his first steal since May 22. The versatile infielder has gone 16-for-51 (.314) in his last 11 contests. For the season, he's at 22 RBI, 37 runs scored, four home runs, eight doubles, three triples and a .282/.360/.425 slash line through 204 plate appearances.

  • Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA

    Nationals' Ehire Adrianza: Rehab moves to Triple-A

    Adrianza (quadriceps) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

    Adrianza has been out all season after straining his left quadriceps in late March. He owns a 1.238 OPS through six rehab games, so he may not need many more to demonstrate that he's ready to return to the active roster.

  • Joey Wendle 2B | ATL

    Marlins' Joey Wendle: Exits with right hamstring issue

    Wendle was removed from Monday's game against the Rockies due to right hamstring discomfort, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Wendle went 1-for-2 to begin Monday's matchup before he was replaced by a pinch runner in the top of the fourth inning. The 32-year-old has had two IL stints due to right hamstring issues this season, but it's not yet clear whether his current injury will force him to return to the injured list. If Wendle misses additional time, Brian Anderson (back), Jon Berti and Willians Astudillo will likely fill in at the hot corner.

  • Pirates' Tucupita Marcano: Tallies two hits

    Marcano went 2-for-3 with a run scored Sunday against the Padres.

    Marcano has gone 2-for-6 with two runs scored since being recalled by the Pirates on Friday. He's likely to serve a utility role with the team and has picked up starts in left field and second base since being promoted. With several lineup regulars currently sidelined in Pittsburgh, Marcano may have the chance to pick up consistent at-bats in the short term.
