Turner went 1-for-2 with two walks, a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 4-1 win over the Phillies.

The shortstop had a bit of a sluggish start to the season, but Turner is catching fire now. He extended his hitting streak to 12 games, a stretch during which he's slashing .356/.444/.533 with five doubles, a homer, seven runs, eight RBI and four of his eight steals on the year.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Marlins.

The shortstop drove a Trevor Rogers fastball deep to left field in the second inning, giving Atlanta a 4-0 lead. Swanson has five homers on the year, but four of them have come in the last 12 games, a stretch during which he's slashed .214/.298/.500 with two steals, eight RBI and nine runs.

Wendle (hamstring) is participating in full baseball activities Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle landed on the injured list with a strained right hamstring last week, but the fact he's already back fully participating in baseball activities indicates it isn't a serious injury. The 32-year-old will be eligible to be activated Sunday, though it's unclear if he's expected to be ready to go by that point.

Barrero (hand) is reporting to Triple-A Louisville to begin a rehab assignment Friday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Barrero has been on the injured list all season after undergoing surgery on his hand in March, but he's now in the final stages of his rehab program. The 24-year-old figures to require an extended run with Louisville to get up to speed before being activated from the injured list.

Lindor went 2-for-3 with two walks, three runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-inning win over the Cardinals.

The shortstop was a constant presence on the basepaths for the Mets, but Lindor's most important run came after he made the final out of the ninth inning, as he started the 10th as the phantom runner and came home on Pete Alonso's walkoff blast. Lindor has reached base in 12 of the last 13 games, and while he's batting only .234 (11-for-47) over that stretch, he's supplemented it with nine walks for a .356 OBP to go with two homers, two steals, seven RBI and 11 runs.

Edman will primarily play shortstop moving forward with prospect Nolan Gorman being promoted Friday to play second base, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Edman has started at the keystone in 35 of 37 games this season, but he'll now shift to shortstop with Gorman being promoted in the wake of Paul DeJong's demotion last week. Edman struggled the past two years but has a .269/.367/.431 in 2022 and has reclaimed the leadoff role, and the positional move will give him a minor boost in fantasy once he reaches the eligibility threshold.

Edman is back in the starting lineup Thursday, playing second base and batting leadoff versus the Mets.

Edman missed Wednesday's loss to the Mets while dealing with calf soreness, but he'll be ready to go for Thursday's series finale. After batting .300 with five multi-hit games in April, the 27-year-old has produced a .233 average in May and hasn't had a multi-hit effort since May 5.

Edman isn't in Wednesday's lineup against the Mets due to calf soreness, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Edman was hit by a pitch in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, and Brendan Donovan will take his place at the keystone a day later. However, Edman will be available off the bench, so it doesn't appear as though his injury is a significant concern.

Edman isn't starting Wednesday against the Mets, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Edman is currently riding a four-game hit streak in which he's gone 4-for-16 with a homer, a triple, four runs, two RBI and a stolen base, but he'll be out of the lineup for the first time since May 2. Brendan Donovan will shift to second base while Edmundo Sosa starts at shortstop.

Strange-Gordon isn't starting Wednesday against Miami.

Even with right-hander Pablo Lopez on the mound for the Marlins, Strange-Gordon will be out of the lineup for the fourth time in the last six games. Alcides Escobar will start at shortstop and bat ninth.
