Rojas (hamstring) moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A New Orleans on Monday.

Rojas heads to the Pacific Coast League after back-to-back rehab games with High-A Jupiter over the weekend, with the 30-year-old going 1-for-7 with a double between those contests. He'll presumably play in a couple games for New Orleans before likely returning from the 10-day injured list when rosters expand Sunday. Once reinstated, Rojas should take over as the Marlins' primary shortstop, with Jon Berti potentially shifting to the outfield as a result.

Crawford went 3-for-4 (all singles) in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Crawford is batting just .236 through 120 games, so it may come as a bit of a surprise to hear that this was his fourth game with three or more hits this year. Despite all of his struggles, the veteran shortstop stuck in the lineup against a southpaw for the second consecutive contest. Manager Bruce Bochy continues to play Crawford on a near-everyday basis even with two right-handed options who can play short on the 25-man roster (Donovan Solano and Abiatal Avelino).

DeJong went 1-for-2 with a homer, three RBI, two runs scored and two walks in Monday's 12-2 win over the Brewers.

DeJong's sixth-inning blast gives him 24 this season, one away from matching the career-high 25 he hit as a rookie in 2017. He later knocked a sacrifice fly to score Tommy Edman in the eighth. The 26-year-old shortstop owns a .248/.331/.462 slash line with 64 RBI and 84 runs scored.

Edman went 3-for-6 with a double and three runs scored in Monday's 12-2 win over the Brewers.

Edman continued swinging a hot bat Monday, picking up his fourth multi-hit game over the last five days. His OPS has jumped from .715 to .761 during that span to go along with 34 runs scored and 19 extra-base hits on the year.

Arcia is not in the lineup Monday against the Cardinals.

Arcia has started nine of the past 10 games, slashing .212/.308/.394 with two home runs and a 5:5 BB:K during that stretch. He'll take a seat Monday for the second time in three games as Cory Spangenberg picks up another start at shortstop in his stead.

Swanson (foot) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Swanson wound up missing over a month with a bruised foot. He was in the middle of a career year prior to the injury, hitting .265/.330/.468 with 17 homers in 100 games. His return will push Adeiny Hechavarria to the bench, with outfielder Adam Duvall optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett to clear a roster spot.

Crawford batted ninth and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over Oakland.

Crawford stuck in the lineup against a southpaw, but that could have been a result of manager Bruce Bochy's unofficial rule of rewarding players who homer with a start the next day. The 32-year-old needs to pick things up at the plate or run risk of losing playing time not only against southpaws, but also starts against righties in favor of hot-hitting Donovan Solano. Crawford's line sits at .231/.301/.364, making him virtually unusable in most formats this season.

Edman went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's 11-4 win over Colorado.

The rookie utility man collected three multi-hit games during the Cardinals' four-game sweep of the Rockies. Edman owns a .749 OPS with 31 runs scored since being called up in early June.

Berti went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Phillies.

Berti got the Marlins on the board in this one with an RBI single to right center. The 29-year-old put together a solid weekend at the dish, going 5-for-13 with a home run and three RBI over the three-game series.

Swanson (foot) could be activated off the 10-day injured list for Monday's game at Colorado, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Swanson began his rehab assignment with Low-A Rome on Thursday and is 4-for-10 with three walks in three games. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since July 23 and would provide a major boost for the Braves as the regular season reaches its final month. Per Bowman, Swanson traveled to Denver on Sunday but isn't guaranteed to be activated immediately. He has a .265/.330/.468 slash line with 17 homers through 100 games.
