Edman went 3-for-6 with two doubles, three runs, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 18-4 win over the Pirates.

The 27-year-old started at shortstop for the second time in the last three games with Nolan Gorman back in the lineup Sunday, and Edman capped off a strong series against the Pirates with his three-hit performance. Edman has crossed the plate in nine of the last 12 games and has hit .280 with a home run, a triple, three doubles, 13 runs, seven RBI and three stolen bases during that time.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 loss to Miami.

Swanson knocked an RBI single in the fifth inning and added an RBI groundout in the ninth, but it wasn't enough to overcome Sandy Alcantara's complete game. He's up to six stolen bases after picking up two this weekend against the Marlins. The 28-year-old shortstop is hitting .242 in May, bringing his season slash line to .229/.301/.400 with 19 RBI.

Reds manager David Bell confirmed Sunday that Barrero (hand) will likely require the full 20-day rehab window at Triple-A Louisville before being activated from the 10-day injured list, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Sidelined since undergoing surgery in late March to repair a hook of the hamate bone of his left hand, Barrero was cleared to join Louisville on Friday to begin the rehab assignment. In addition to picking up at-bats to regain his timing at the plate after having not played in a competitive game since October, Barrero will need to prove he can handle the rigors of playing a full nine innings in the middle infield on back-to-back days while he's at Louisville. The Reds may not have an everyday role in the big leagues available for him once he's back to full strength, so Barrero could still be activated from the IL and optioned to Louisville once his 20-day rehab window concludes.

Rojas (calf) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

He'll take a seat for the series finale after exiting Saturday's 4-3 loss with left calf tightness. Erik Gonzalez will fill in at shortstop in place of Rojas, who could be ready to go for Tuesday's game at Tampa Bay following Monday's off day.

Camargo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

He'll sit for the second day in a row while Bryson Stott gets another look at shortstop. Stott is hitting .138 and getting on base at a .219 clip since his May 7 call-up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley, so Camargo may still hold the edge on the top job at shortstop until Didi Gregorius (knee) returns from the injured list.

Rojas left Saturday's game against Atlanta with left calf tightness, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Rojas was forced to exit Saturday's contest in the top of the seventh inning and was replaced by Erik Gonzalez. He was 0-for-2 at the plate prior to leaving the game.

Strange-Gordon is starting Saturday against the Brewers.

The 34-year-old wasn't initially listed among Saturday's starters, but he'll start at shortstop and bat ninth after Alcides Escobar (undisclosed) was removed from the lineup. Over nine games since the start of May, Strange-Gordon has hit .185 with two runs, an RBI and three strikeouts.

Adrianza (quadriceps) played seven innings in a simulated game this week, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Adrianza has been out all season while recovering from a strained left quadriceps. While he's yet to play in an official game, his work in the simulated game represents a significant step. He could be ready for a rehab assignment soon, though exactly when that will happen is not yet clear.

Williams was designated for assignment by the Giants on Saturday.

The 25-year-old was sent down by the Giants in early May, and he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster with the team choosing to select Michael Papierski's contract Saturday. Over 10 games at Triple-A Sacramento, Williams hit .378 with four doubles, eight runs, seven RBI and four stolen bases.

Camargo isn't starting Saturday against the Dodgers, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Camargo started in the last three games and went 4-for-10 with a walk and four strikeouts. Bryson Stott will start at shortstop and bat ninth.
