Edman was called up from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

With Jedd Gyorko (back) landing on the injured list, Edman will join the major-league team for the first time. He may not be a marquee prospect, but Edman is a legitimate prospect, arguably ranking within the top 10 in the Cardinals organization. He's hit .305/.356/.513 with seven homers and nine steals with Memphis this season. The switch-hitting Edman should at least see some starts at second base against left-handed pitching.

Baez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during a 3-1 victory against the Cardinals on Friday.

The presumption with Baez has always been that once he cut down on his strikeouts, he could be a .300 hitter. This season, Baez has seen his strikeout rate increase to 30.9 percent, yet he's still batting a career-high .306. That's due to a .396 BABIP, which is more than 50 points higher than his career norm. More than likely, Baez won't be able to maintain that high of a BABIP, but for now, owners are enjoying both average and power from him. He is slashing .306/.347/.584 with 16 home runs, 42 RBI and 42 runs in 262 plate appearances this season.

Mauricio went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a solo home run and two additional runs scored for Low-A Columbia on Thursday.

The Mets' No. 1 fantasy prospect following the graduation of Pete Alonso, Mauricio has put together a nine-game hitting streak and hit safely in 14 of his last 16, slashing .353/.366/.544 over that stretch with seven doubles, two homers and a steal. He still isn't showing much patience, posting a 1:10 BB:K during those 16 games, but given that he won't turn 19 until next April, his ability to barrel the ball consistently at such a young age gives him sky-high upside.

DeJong with 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Reds.

DeJong broke a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning with a two-run homer to left field. The 25-year-old shortstop has put together a solid .275/.372/.482 slash line with nine home runs and 28 RBI on the season over 60 games.

Story went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, three runs and an RBI in Wednesday's 9-8 loss to the Cubs.

Story has now turned in multi-hit efforts in four of his last six starts, lifting his season batting average to what would be a career-high .293. He'll look to keep rolling in the series finale Thursday, as he'll start at shortstop and bat second.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Pirates.

The shortstop has gone yard three times in the last four games and six times in the last 13, adding eight multi-hit performances to the mix to give him a blistering .345/.377/.690 slash line during that stretch. Swanson's already one homer shy of tying last year's career-high 14 as he puts together a breakout campaign at age 25.

Turner went 1-for-5 with a walk-off two-run home run in a 6-4 victory against the White Sox on Wednesday.

He struck out three times, but when it mattered, Turner belted a homer to win it. Because of a finger injury, Turner was playing in just his 22nd game of the year Wednesday. He is batting .263 with three homers, nine RBI, 14 runs and eight steals in 95 at-bats this season.

Crawford is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mets, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford sits after starting nine straight games. Donovan Solano gets the call at shortstop.

Rojas went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Brewers.

Six different Marlins had multi-hit efforts in the 16-0 rout, giving Rojas a chance to be productive even from the bottom of the order. The shortstop has hit safely in seven straight games and 13 of his last 14, slashing .346/.386/.404 over that stretch with two steals, five RBI and seven runs.

Baez went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Rockies.

Another game, another big effort from Baez. The star infielder has homered in consecutive contests to get to 15 for the season, and he's now slashing .309/.352/.588. Baez should once again be in the MVP conversation toward the end of the year.
