Story (arm) is considered day-to-day after he left Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Manager Bud Black confirmed after Thursday's doubleheader that Story's removal from the nightcap was precautionary, but he added that throwing could be a concern in the coming days. If Story misses any additional time, Brendan Rodgers could fill in at shortstop.

Rojas will require time on the injured list after he suffered a dislocated finger Thursday, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Rojas will undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury, but the the team is reportedly concerned about the issue. Jose Devers stepped in at shortstop Thursday, but Jazz Chisholm (ankle) could see most of the playing time at shortstop in Rojas' absence, while Isan Diaz could see increased time at second base.

Story was removed from Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets due to arm tightness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Story went 0-for-1 with a walk in Thursday's nightcap before he was replaced at shortstop in the bottom of the fourth inning. The severity of the issue isn't yet known, and it's not clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time.

Manager Don Mattingly said after Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies that Rojas suffered a dislocated finger during the contest, Andre Fernandez of Sirius XM Radio reports.

Mattingly acknowledged that a trip to the injured list could be a possibility for Rojas, who went 1-for-3 with a walk before being lifted in the top of the ninth inning. The Marlins will likely send Rojas in for more tests Friday before deciding whether or not an IL stint will be necessary. Jose Devers replaced Rojas in Thursday's game, but Jazz Chisholm could end up shifting over from second base to cover shortstop on an everyday basis if Rojas is forced to miss time.

Baez went 1-for-5 in Wednesday's win over the Pirates. He also struck out twice.

Baez extended his hitting streak to five games and has hit safely in 12 of his last three 13 contests, but the strikeouts continue to be an issue for him -- he has struck out in 36.4 percent of his at-bats during that stretch. The slick-fielding shortstop is hitting .275 with a .817 OPS, three homers and seven RBI during that 13-game span.

Edman went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs during Wednesday's 4-0 win over the White Sox.

The 26-year-old's solo shots during the third and eighth innings accounted for the only runs of the contest until Edmundo Sosa delivered a two-run single during the final frame. Edman is 11-for-34 (.324 average) with two home runs, three doubles, eight RBI, two stolen bases and five runs over his past seven games.

Berti went 1-for-3 with a two-run single, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Philadelphia.

With Brian Anderson (shoulder) out, Berti drew the start at third base for the second straight game and provided a go-ahead two-run single in the eighth inning before coming around to score an insurance run on a Jose Devers single. Through 120 plate appearances, Berti has two home runs, four stolen bases, 10 RBI and 16 runs scored. He won't provide much pop, but the 31-year-old could warrant some fantasy attention for his speed if he hangs onto an everyday role while Anderson is out.

Rojas isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Rojas had gone 1-for-12 with a double, three runs, three walks and two strikeouts in his last four games. Jose Devers will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

DeJong (ribs) was working on his fielding ahead of Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

DeJong did some light running Monday, and he now appears to have resumed some baseball activities. DeJong could resume some hitting later in the week, but a timetable for his return to game action hasn't yet been established. The shortstop has been out with a non-displaced rib fracture since mid-May.

Strange-Gordon signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Strange-Gordon spent time in the Brewers' organization earlier in the season, but he was let go Saturday. He'll find a new minor-league opportunity several days later after Nico Hoerner suffered a hamstring injury Tuesday. Strange-Gordon didn't appear in the majors early in the year, and he should report to Triple-A Iowa to begin his time with the Cubs.
