Wendle went 2-for-3 with a walk, a three-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.

Getting another start at shortstop and hitting seventh, Wendle opened the scoring on the night by taking Josiah Gray deep in the fourth inning, giving Sandy Alcantara and the Miami bullpen all the run support they would need. Wendle has reeled off three straight multi-hit performances, and on the season he's slashing .362/.423/.532 with a homer, three steals, eight runs and eight RBI through 14 games.

Edman went 0-for-2 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Mets.

Edman didn't picked up one of the Cardinals' three hits, but he was still able to find ways aboard Tuesday. The 26-year-old then used his speed to get into scoring position, but the Cardinals were unable to bring him home. The second baseman is slashing. 283/.397/.509 with three home runs, eight RBI, six runs scored and three stolen bases through 16 contests. He's led off in four straight games, but he's unlikely to see more than a split of that spot in the lineup with fellow switch-hitter Dylan Carlson.

Adames went 4-for-5 with a double, two home runs and seven total RBI in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.

The Brewers won a 12-8 slugfest and Adames did the heavy lifting. He hit a two-run homer in the first inning, drove in two on a double in the fifth inning and later went yard a second time to cap a six-run sixth for Milwaukee. He also homered Monday, so Adames has more extra-base hits in the last two days than he had in his first 16 games of the 2022 season.

Ahmed is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

He'll sit for the second time in five games since he returned from a season-opening stint on the injured list while recovering from a shoulder injury. Geraldo Perdomo will draw the start at shortstop Tuesday, but Ahmed should see the bulk of the playing time at the position once his injury is further in the rearview mirror.

Strange-Gordon (illness) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Strange-Gordon has been sidelined for the past two weeks with a non-COVID-19-related illness, so he'll likely appear in multiple games in the minors before coming off the 10-day injured list. Once reinstated from the IL, Strange-Gordon is expected to fill a utility role for Washington.

Castillo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Brewers, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Castillo started the past two games in right field and will take a seat after going 1-for-8 with a run and a stolen base. Jack Suwinski, who was called up from Double-A Altoona on Tuesday, will make his MLB debut against Milwaukee in right field.

The Pirates recalled Marcano from Double-A Altoona on Tuesday.

Marcano has experience at three infield and two outfield spots, so he'll give the Pirates another utility option off the bench after Cole Tucker (illness) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday. The 22-year-old Marcano made the Padres' Opening Day roster a season ago and logged 50 plate appearances at the big-league level, but Tuesday marks his first call-up to the majors since he was acquired by the Pirates in the deal last July that sent Adam Frazier to San Diego.

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

With Didi Gregorius (hand) back in action for the second contest of the series with Colorado, Camargo's five-game run as the Phillies' starting shortstop comes to an end. Though Camargo went 5-for-19 with a home run and four RBI during that five-game stretch and now sports a .716 OPS across 50 plate appearances on the season, manager Joe Girardi said Monday that Gregorius will retain duties as the Phillies' everyday shortstop. Girardi noted that he still expects the versatile Camargo to see steady at-bats while bouncing between a number of different positions when one of the Phillies' everyday players receives a day off.

Rojas (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

He'll take a seat for the third game in a row while he continues to recover from flu-like symptoms. Joey Wendle will move over from third base to cover Rojas' usual spot at shortstop.

Abrams is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

With southpaw Reiver Sanmartin on the bump for Cincinnati, the lefty-hitting Abrams will give way to righty-hitting platoon mate Ha-Seong Kim at shortstop. Though Abrams seems to have taken hold of the larger side of the timeshare at the position, his .143 average and lack of counting stats (one home run, one stolen base, five runs and two RBI over 40 plate appearances) have thus far capped his fantasy appeal. Abrams' long-term fantasy ceiling is high, though he may not come close to realizing it as a rookie.
