Edman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Cubs.

Edman took Rex Brothers deep in the sixth inning to record his sixth homer of the season. After failing to go yard for 39 games between May 27 and July 9, Edman now has two home runs in his last six contests. Still, Edman's primary contributions come on the basepaths, as he has 16 stolen bases and 49 runs scored across 402 plate appearances on the campaign.

Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Seager (hand) "feels good" but remains without a set date to be activated from the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Roberts indicated Monday that the star shortstop could be activated as early as Wednesday, but it doesn't appear that's going to come to fruition. Seager figures to continue ramping up in simulated games until he's cleared to rejoin the active roster.

Berti will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Berti's eight steals have provided at least a bit of value to fantasy teams, but that's about all he's been good for this season, as he's homered just four times while hitting .215/.309/.320. Given that he's already on the wrong side of 30, it's possible he falls behind the Marlins' younger options down the stretch, as the team is already all but out of the playoff picture. Joe Panik, who's less than a year younger than Berti, will start at the hot corner on this occasion.

Owings was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a mallet finger of the left thumb.

Owings last played Sunday, though it's not clear when or how the injury was suffered. The utility man will become eligible to be reinstated July 29, but it's possible he'll require additional time to recover. Connor Joe was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding roster move.

Wendle is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Wendle will be a victim of the Rays' logjam in the infield for the second time in four games. Wander Franco will cover third base in place of Wendle, who sits after going 1-for-8 with four strikeouts while starting the past two contests.

Arcia will sit Tuesday against the Padres.

Arcia was scheduled to sit Monday, but that game got rained out. He'll get the day off Tuesday instead, with Abraham Almonte again scheduled to start in left field.

Fletcher went 2-for-4 with a double and a walk in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Athletics.

Fletcher wasted no time getting back in the hit column after Sunday's goose egg, smacking a leadoff double against Cole Irvin. The 27-year-old reached base two more times but never scored as the Angels struggled mightily with runners in scoring position despite tallying eight hits. Fletcher remains one of the hottest hitters in all of baseball. He's logged multi-hit performances in eight of his last 10 games, raising his slash line to .316/.343/.399 with 24 extra-base hits, 38 RBI, 54 runs scored, four steals and a 15:40 BB:K over 373 plate appearances.

Correa went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 4-3 win over Cleveland.

Correa's been fighting a slump since early July, which was made worse by a stint on the COVID-19 injured list. Since a sixth-inning single July 4, the shortstop has gone 0-for-26 with 13 strikeouts. In the middle of that stretch, he was placed on the injured list. He confirmed to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com that he tested negative for the virus but was hospitalized and required intravenous fluids July 9. Correa said his timing has been off since coming back from the illness.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's loss to the Red Sox.

Bichette recorded an RBI in the bottom of the fourth inning on an infield single, but it would be the last time his team would score in the contest. He's now 18-for-50 (.360) with a home run, eight RBI and seven runs scored through 13 games in July.

Rojas went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double during Monday's 18-1 loss to the Nationals.

With the Marlins trailing 18-0 in the eighth, Rojas attempted to get things going with his fifth long ball of the year. Unfortunately, he accounted for all of Miami's offense in the lopsided loss. It was his fourth multi-hit night in the last six games, raising his season slash line to .276/.334/.419.
