Crawford was removed from Tuesday's win over the Mets with lower-back tightness, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Crawford went 1-for-3 with an RBI prior to being lifted for a pinch hitter during the seventh inning. Manager Gabe Kapler said the veteran shortstop should be considered day-to-day with the injury.

Mateo was removed from Tuesday's game against the Angels with lower-back discomfort, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

Mateo went 2-for-2 with a walk before being replaced in the field at the start of the seventh inning. The severity of the injury is unclear, and the 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.

Adames was removed from Tuesday's game against the Reds with left quadriceps discomfort, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Adames doubled during the opening frame and came around to score, and he apparently picked up the injury while running the bases. The Brewers labeled his removal as precautionary, so the 25-year-old could end up making a quick return to the field. Jace Peterson entered the lineup in his place and is playing third base, while Luis Urias moves to shortstop.

The Brewers recalled Reyes from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Reyes has hit .245 with a home run and nine RBI at Triple-A since being optioned Aug. 2, but he now gets called up to replace Eduardo Escobar (hamstring) on Milwaukee's active roster. In the big leagues this season, Reyes has hit .214 with three doubles and two RBI in 56 at-bats.

Anderson (leg) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Anderson said Tuesday he's feeling better but won't play until he's feeling 100 percent, Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports. The star infielder should still be considered day-to-day, with a chance to rejoin the lineup for Wednesday night's game in Toronto. Danny Mendick is playing shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday.

Lindor (oblique) was activated off the injured list Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Lindor had mentioned returning without a rehab assignment previously and he'll wind up doing just that, with his first game action in over a month coming at the big-league level. It's possible he's handled cautiously initially, but the Mets don't really have any time to waste, as they sit 6.5 games back in the NL East and seven games back of a Wild Card spot.

Wendle is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Wendle has started against plenty of southpaws this season, but his day off Tuesday against Ranger Suarez means he's now been on the bench against four of the last six lefties the Rays have faced. Yandy Diaz starts at the hot corner in his absence.

Anderson (leg) is not in the lineup Monday against the Blue Jays.

Anderson is out of the starting nine for the third consecutive contest as he continues to manage some leg soreness. Manager Tony La Russa previously said the injury is minor and that the shortstop's absence is precautionary, but he's nonetheless sitting for the third straight day. Danny Mendick will start at shortstop while Cesar Hernandez handles leadoff duties in his absence.

Story is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

After starting each of the past eight games and batting only .200 over that stretch, Story will get Monday off to clear his head. Brendan Rodgers will step in at shortstop Story.

Crawford went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 win over Oakland.

The shortstop was on the front end of a double steal with Kris Bryant in the ninth inning. Crawford has 10 stolen bases this year, the first time he's reached double-digits in his career. He's added a strong .300/.367/.532 slash line with 19 home runs, 70 RBI and 58 runs scored across 403 plate appearances. He'll likely continue to hit near the middle of the order while enjoying a near-everyday role.
