Crawford went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.

The shortstop drove in Buster Posey with a single in the first inning and later collected two more hits, including a double. He has now collected multiple hits in three of his last four games, batting .471 with three doubles and three RBI.

Williams (illness) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Williams has been out since testing positive for COVID-19 in late August. He shouldn't need too many rehab games given his relatively brief absence, though the Phillies haven't said exactly when he's expected back.

Story is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

Story started the past 10 games after recovering from a leg injury and will receive a day off after posting a 1.047 OPS during that stretch. Brendan Rodgers and Garrett Hampson will work in the middle infield while Sam Hilliard starts in center field.

Rojas (shoulder) won't start Tuesday's game against the Mets but is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas left Sunday's game against the Phillies with a sore left trapezius. Monday's scheduled off day evidently wasn't quite enough time for him to heal, but the Marlins don't appear to be concerned about any long-term absence.

Edman went 2-for-4 with a run in a loss to the Dodgers on Monday.

There was precious little meaningful contact to go around for the Cardinals on Monday with Max Scherzer on the hill, but Edman still managed to lace his 37th double for one of the team's six hits against the dominant right-hander. Edman extended his hitting streak to six games with his productive afternoon, part of a month-plus tear at the plate that's seen him produce a .305 average, .862 OPS and 17 extra-base hits (13 doubles, four home runs) over the 32 games he's played since Aug. 1.

Story went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the loss Monday against the Giants.

The 29-year-old took reliever Caleb Baragar deep for a two-run shot in the eighth inning, driving in teammate Brendan Rodgers in the process. The shortstop has been hot recently, hitting .313 with three home runs and six RBI over his last nine games. He is now up to 19 homers on the year.

Crawford went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs, an RBI, a walk and a caught stealing in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.

Crawford walked and scored in the second inning, doubled home a run and scored in the third and singled and was caught stealing in the fifth to reach base three times in consecutive games. After slumping with just two hits over seven prior games, the veteran shortstop has now gone 5-for-8 in his last two.

Lindor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Sunday's 13-6 win over Washington.

The shortstop sparked a six-run ninth inning for the Mets with his solo shot, which was his 13th homer of the year and his second in as many days after he went yard in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader. Lindor hadn't homered since July 11 before rediscovering his power this weekend. The 27-year-old is slashing just .225/.316/.382 with 44 RBI, 56 runs scored and 10 stolen bases through 414 plate appearances overall.

Baez went 4-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a stolen base and three runs scored in Sunday's 13-6 win over Washington.

The infielder did a little of everything in this contest, including an RBI single in the first inning and a solo shot in the third. Baez finished the weekend series versus Washington 7-for-14 with two home runs, three RBI and six runs scored in four contests (three starts). He's slashing .251/.297/.494 with 28 homers, 76 RBI, 65 runs scored and 14 stolen bases through 450 plate appearances overall.

Rojas was removed from Sunday's loss to the Phillies with left trapezius soreness, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Rojas went 0-for-4 with a strikeout prior to being replaced in the field during the ninth inning. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but the 32-year-old will have Monday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery before missing any time.
