Edman went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Reds.

Both of Edman's hits were singles. His first came in the first inning, which was followed by his second stolen base of the year. The 25-year-old has produced four homers, 19 RBI, 21 runs scored and a .259/.320/.403 slash line in 37 games.

Garcia isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Garcia went 1-for-8 with four strikeouts over the last two games, and he'll retreat to the bench Saturday. Kyle Farmer will serve as the shortstop in his place.

Baez is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Milwaukee.

Baez sits for just the third time all season despite the fact that he's hitting .196/.235/.357 on the year. Nico Hoerner will be the shortstop in his absence.

Preciado was added to the Padres' player pool Tuesday.

The Panamanian-born infielder signed with the Padres last July but was withheld from minor-league action. He's extremely raw and still only 17 years of age, so his addition to the player pool is purely for developmental reasons at the team's alternate training site.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

Swanson capped off a five-run comeback for Atlanta by taking Tanner Rainey deep to give the Braves a 7-6 lead in the eight inning. It marked the shortstop's seventh long ball and 25th RBI on the campaign.

Seager went 2-for-5 with a solo home run during Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Seager broke open the scoring with a solo home run against Madison Bumgarner in the third inning. It was the 12th long ball of the year for the 26-year-old, who leads the Dodgers with a .314 batting average.

Edman went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run during a 6-3 loss to the Tigers in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader.

His fifth-inning shot off Tyler Alexander gave the Cards a 3-0 lead before the bullpen fell apart, although Edman was also caught stealing for the third time in four attempts this year -- a far cry from his 15-for-16 performance on the basepaths as a rookie. The 25-year-old is slashing .262/.326/.415 through 35 games with four homers and 19 RBI.

Berti (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

He has been out with a stiff right finger, which is apparently serious enough for him to miss at least 10 days. Isan Diaz was recalled in a corresponding move.

Berti (finger) isn't in Thursday's lineup against the Phillies.

Berti missed the past two games after suffering a bruised finger Monday, and he'll sit once again Thursday. It's unclear whether he'll be available off the bench. Jazz Chisholm will start at second base once again.

Arcia went 4-for-6 with a double and three runs in Wednesday's victory over the Tigers.

Arcia joined the Brewers' hit parade Wednesday, accounting for four of the 21 hits the club banged out. Of the 29 hits Arcia has recorded this season, 10 have come in three games, but that doesn't change the fact he hitting .257 and owns a .328 OBP -- a mark that tops the number he finished with in each of his four other seasons in the big leagues.
