Wendle went 3-for-4 with a triple, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Red Sox on Tuesday.

The versatile infielder has looked like a completely different hitter thus far in 2020 compared to last season, as Wendle's clean bill of health has allowed him to rediscover the stroke that led to a pair of .300-average campaigns in 2017 and 2018. Tuesday's three-bagger and steal were both firsts for the 30-year-old in the current season, while the multi-hit tally was his third in the last seven games.

Berti went 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Orioles.

Getting the start at second base and hitting second, Berti wasted little time in showcasing his wheels, beating out an infield hit in the first inning and then swiping second for his first steal of the year. The 30-year-old utility player should get regular at-bats for the Marlins while the team's roster recovers from its COVID-19 outbreak, so after amassing 17 steals in 73 games last season, Berti will have plenty of chances to add to his 2020 total.

Ahmed went 1-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's loss against the Astros.

Ahmed is having a disappointing season, as he has recorded just three hits -- all singles -- in his first 34 at-bats, good for a paltry .088 average. He shouldn't be targeted in any formats until he finds a way to turn things around.

Correa went 3-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Correa is one of the few Houston batters off to a productive start. He's hit safely in nine of 10 games played, going 14-for-36 with five extra-base hits (two homers) and six RBI.

Seager (quad) is expected to return to the field Wednesday after starting at designated hitter each of the last two games, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Seager missed Sunday's contest with a left quadriceps injury, but he has been well enough to play as the team's designated hitter Monday and Tuesday. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that Seager is likely to return to his customary shortstop position Wednesday against San Diego. Seager has enjoyed a strong start to the season, slashing .356/.408/.644 with three home runs and seven RBI.

Mondesi went 3-for-4 with a double, run scored and RBI in Tuesday's win over the Cubs.

Mondesi plated the Royals' first run of the game with a single in the second inning and scored their final run in the ninth. The 25-year-old has overcome a slow start by reaching base in six of his last seven games, going 11-for-24 (.458) over that span. Mondesi is batting .289 (13-for-45) on the season, though he has stolen only one base in three attempts.

Rojas (illness) was placed on the injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against Baltimore, Jared Diamond of The Wall Street Journal reports.

Rojas was among the 13 Marlins placed on the injured list ahead of the team's return to play after a COVID-19 outbreak. Rojas was reported to be one of the players who tested positive for COVID-19, so he likely was placed on the COVID-19 IL. Rojas got off to an incredibly hot start in the opening series against the Phillies, going 7-for-10 with a homer and a steal, but it's not clear how long he'll be sidelined.

DeJong was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday.

DeJong is one of many Cardinals who have been caught up in the team's coronavirus outbreak. He'll be eligible to return to action once he's symptom-free and produces a pair of negative tests. Whether that happens before the Cardinals are allowed to return to the field remains to be seen. The team's next scheduled game is currently set for Friday against the Cubs.

Arcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Arcia sits for just the second time this season. Eric Sogard slides over to shortstop, opening up third base for Brock Holt.

Adames is not starting Tuesday against Boston, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Adames sits for just the second time in the season's first 11 games. He owns a strong .919 OPS through 32 plate appearances. Joey Wendle takes over at shortstop.
