Adames (quadriceps) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Adames' exclusion from the lineup was expected after he exited Tuesday's contest with left quadriceps discomfort. Manager Craig Counsell didn't sound too concerned about the injury following Tuesday's matchup, and the 25-year-old is considered day-to-day.

Lindor isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Lindor returned from the injured list Tuesday and went 0-for-4 in the series opener against San Francisco, but he'll head back to the bench as he's eased back into action. Javier Baez will shift to shortstop while Jonathan Villar enters the lineup at third base.

Williams will start in center field and bat eighth Wednesday against the Rays, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

With southpaw Ryan Yarbrough on the hill for Tampa Bay, the righty-hitting Williams will check into center field as a replacement for the lefty-hitting Odubel Herrera. The Phillies appear to value the defensive versatility Williams brings off the bench, but he's unlikely to move out of a small-side platoon role unless the team loses an everyday player to an injury.

Ahmed isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Ahmed went 1-for-7 with a walk and a strikeout across the last two games and will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last four contests. Josh Rojas will start at shortstop while Josh VanMeter enters the lineup at second base.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a 5-2 victory versus San Diego on Tuesday.

Turner used his legs to help the Dodgers tack on a run in the eighth inning, doubling to lead off the frame before swiping third base and coming home on a sacrifice fly. In 16 games with the Dodgers, the infielder is slashing .323/.358/.484 with a home run, five RBI, 14 runs and four stolen bases.

Edman went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Tigers.

The second baseman singled to lead off the Cardinals' half of the first inning and subsequently stole second base, though he was ultimately stranded at third. He also knocked in a run with an eighth-inning groundout. Edman's theft brought him to 20 on the campaign, good for fourth in the National League. He is batting .342 (13-for-38) over his past nine games.

Adames (quadriceps) won't be in the lineup Wednesday against the Reds, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The quadriceps issue apparently surfaced during last week's series against the Cardinals, though Adames was able to play through the injury until it flared up during Tuesday's opening frame. Manager Craig Counsell downplayed the issue, but the shortstop could still end up spending an extra day or two on the bench after Wednesday to help avoid aggravating the injury.

Crawford was removed from Tuesday's win over the Mets with lower-back tightness, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with an RBI prior to being lifted for a pinch hitter during the seventh inning. Manager Gabe Kapler said the veteran shortstop should be considered day-to-day with the injury.

Adames was removed from Tuesday's game against the Reds with left quadriceps discomfort, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Adames doubled during the opening frame and came around to score, and he apparently picked up the injury while running the bases. The Brewers labeled his removal as precautionary, so the 25-year-old could end up making a quick return to the field. Jace Peterson entered the lineup in his place and is playing third base, while Luis Urias moves to shortstop.

The Brewers recalled Reyes from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Reyes has hit .245 with a home run and nine RBI at Triple-A since being optioned Aug. 2, but he now gets called up to replace Eduardo Escobar (hamstring) on Milwaukee's active roster. In the big leagues this season, Reyes has hit .214 with three doubles and two RBI in 56 at-bats.
