Baez will be on the bench for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Baez went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and a pair of runs in the afternoon contest, but he won't be asked to start twice in one day. Luis Guillorme will take over at second base.

Seager went 4-for-5 with a double and a strikeout in a 3-2 loss to San Francisco on Friday.

In a low-scoring game without much offense, Seager was responsible for half of Los Angeles' hits as the rest of the team went a combined 4-for-34. It was the shortstop's first multi-hit game in over two weeks, dating back to Aug. 18, and snaps a recent 5-for-25 skid over his last eight games. Since returning from injury July 30, Seager is slashing .300/.383/.482 with 17 runs and 14 RBI in 31 games.

Crawford went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's 3-2 win against the Dodgers.

Crawford singled in the second inning, doubled in the eighth and singled in the tenth to tie the game at 2-2. The shortstop's three hits equal his total from his last eight games, a stretch in which Crawford went 3-for-28, as he remains a key cog on a strong Giants team.

Rojas went 3-for-3 with three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Friday's 10-3 win over the Phillies.

Rojas drew a walk and scored on Jesus Sanchez's three-run homer in the first inning. He later singled twice and drove in three runs during the Marlins' seven-run sixth inning. Over the last two games, he's gone 5-for-7 with four RBI and four runs scored. Rojas improved his season slash line to .274/.334/.411 through 455 plate appearances.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Mets.

Rojas got the Marlins off to a quick start in this one, taking Carlos Carrasco deep to lead off the game. It was the eighth homer of the year for Rojas, who also singled to snap out of a 3-for-23 (.130) funk over his previous seven contests. Rojas is slashing .269/.328/.407 on the year with 36 RBI and 12 stolen bases (in 14 attempts) over 451 plate appearances.

Adames isn't starting Thursday's game against the Giants.

Adames returned to the lineup for each of the last two games and went 3-for-9 with a double, a run, an RBI and a walk. Luis Urias will shift to shortstop while Jace Peterson starts at third base.

Edman went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in a 12-2 loss to the Reds during the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

The switch hitter led off the nightcap with his 10th homer of the season, but the lead only lasted three batters into the bottom of the first inning. Edman also went 1-for-4 with a run scored in the matinee, and he's batting .341 (28-for-82) with three home runs, two steals, 14 RBI and 20 runs over the last 20 games.

Atlanta recalled Arcia from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

Arcia will join Atlanta as a September call-up and will give the team some extra coverage in the middle infield while everyday second baseman Ozzie Albies (knee) likely misses at least the team's next two games. Ehire Adrianza and Arcia are expected to serve as the primary replacements at the keystone for however long Albies is sidelined.

Adames (quadriceps) is starting at shortstop and batting second Tuesday against the Giants, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Adames sat out Monday after serving as the designated hitter the previous two games, but he'll now reclaim his starting role at shortstop after missing some time with the quadriceps injury. The 25-year-old is 3-for-19 with eight strikeouts in his past six appearances and will attempt to get back on track in San Francisco. According to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Adames will have more frequent maintenance days down to stretch to help ease his return from the quad issue.

Lindor is on the bench for Tuesday night's game against the Marlins.

Lindor went 0-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday afternoon's continuation of a suspended April game. In his last 10 contests, the switch hitter is hitting .243 with three extra-base hits and four RBI. Javier Baez is playing shortstop, with Jonathan Villar moving to second base.
