Baez went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in a 5-3 win Tuesday in Pittsburgh.

Baez ripped a double in the second and singled, stole second and scored in the fourth. It was the second straight game where the shortstop went 2-for-4 with a double. After stealing 18 bases in 2021, Tuesday's swipe was his first attempt this season. Baez is known as a streaky hitter and is showing signs of heating up over the last two games.

Manager Tony La Russa said Tuesday that he hopes Anderson (groin) will be able to begin a rehab assignment next week, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Anderson landed on the 10-day injured list May 31 and had an initial return timetable of approximately three weeks. The 28-year-old seems to be on track in his recovery, as he'd have time to appear in several rehab games next week if he's ultimately cleared to report to a minor-league affiliate. Danny Mendick and Leury Garcia should continue to see additional playing time at shortstop until Anderson returns from the injured list.

Adames (ankle/quadriceps) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

It was previously reported Adames was poised to be reinstated for Tuesday's series opener versus the Phillies, but manager Craig Counsell said the team wants to give the shortstop an extra day to make sure he's fully healthy. The 27-year-old also indicated he feels 100 percent healthy, so it appears the delayed activation is simply a precautionary move from the Brewers.

Wendle (hamstring) isn't feeling sore Tuesday after receiving a PRP injection four days prior, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Wendle has missed just shy of a week with a right hamstring strain, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. Whether or not he'll be ready to return when first eligible is not yet clear, however.

Berti will start at third base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Berti received the leadoff nod in the Marlins' last game Sunday against the Giants, but that's only because Jazz Chisholm was getting the day off. Even though he'll drop in the lineup Tuesday with Chisholm back in action, Berti looks like he'll continue to hold down a regular role at third base until either Joey Wendle (hamstring) or Brian Anderson (back) returns from the injured list. While starting each of the Marlins' first six games of June, Berti went 8-for-22 with two doubles, four runs, two RBI and three stolen bases.

Correa (illness) was seen working out at Target Field on Tuesday and said he expects to return from the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Correa's presence at team facilities suggests he's cleared all COVID-19-related protocols after testing positive for the virus May 31, so at this stage, he'll just need to prove that he's feeling good from a conditioning standpoint after the week-long layoff. Assuming the Twins are satisfied with how the 27-year-old responded to Tuesday's workout, he should be back in the lineup at shortstop for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

The Phillies placed Camargo on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right knee strain.

Camargo had started in seven of the Phillies' last eight games, but his move to the IL should clear the way for rookie Bryson Stott to handle an everyday role at second base. Even while playing on at least a semi-regular basis all season before picking up the injury, Camargo has produced modest counting stats (three home runs, no stolen bases, 15 RBI and eight runs) over 143 plate appearances.

Adrianza (quadriceps) was activated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Adrianza was reinstated from the 60-day injured list following a quadriceps injury he suffered in late March. He will return to the major-league roster Tuesday after completing a two-week rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester. Lucius Fox was optioned to Rochester in a corresponding move Tuesday. Adrianza is set for his debut after he signed a one-year contract with the Nationals this past offseason following a 2021 season in which he batted .247 with five homers, 28 RBI and 32 runs in 109 games with the Braves.

Smith is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Smith will take a seat for the second time in three games while the Athletics give new Triple-A Las Vegas call-up Matt Davidson a look at third base. Though Oakland is in rebuilding mode and is prioritizing the development of younger players, Smith could be at risk of a demotion if his ongoing slump continues much longer. Over his last 10 games, Smith has gone 1-for-30 while striking out 11 times and drawing only two walks.

Owings (personal) was reinstated from the bereavement list Tuesday.

Owings was away from the Orioles during their weekend series against the Guardians, but he'll rejoin the team after spending the minimum amount of time on the bereavement list. Right-hander Marcos Diplan was sent down Sunday to make room on the active roster.
