Rojas (hamstring) moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A New Orleans on Monday.

Rojas heads to the Pacific Coast League after back-to-back rehab games with High-A Jupiter over the weekend, with the 30-year-old going 1-for-7 with a double between those contests. He'll presumably play in a couple games for New Orleans before likely returning from the 10-day injured list when rosters expand Sunday. Once reinstated, Rojas should take over as the Marlins' primary shortstop, with Jon Berti potentially shifting to the outfield as a result.

Crawford went 3-for-4 (all singles) in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Crawford is batting just .236 through 120 games, so it may come as a bit of a surprise to hear that this was his fourth game with three or more hits this year. Despite all of his struggles, the veteran shortstop stuck in the lineup against a southpaw for the second consecutive contest. Manager Bruce Bochy continues to play Crawford on a near-everyday basis even with two right-handed options who can play short on the 25-man roster (Donovan Solano and Abiatal Avelino).

DeJong went 1-for-2 with a homer, three RBI, two runs scored and two walks in Monday's 12-2 win over the Brewers.

DeJong's sixth-inning blast gives him 24 this season, one away from matching the career-high 25 he hit as a rookie in 2017. He later knocked a sacrifice fly to score Tommy Edman in the eighth. The 26-year-old shortstop owns a .248/.331/.462 slash line with 64 RBI and 84 runs scored.

Edman went 3-for-6 with a double and three runs scored in Monday's 12-2 win over the Brewers.

Edman continued swinging a hot bat Monday, picking up his fourth multi-hit game over the last five days. His OPS has jumped from .715 to .761 during that span to go along with 34 runs scored and 19 extra-base hits on the year.

Mondesi (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday under instructions not to dive in the field or on the bases the rest of the season, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Mondesi has been out with a shoulder issue since mid-July. His 31 steals rank second in the league, but he may not add too many more to his total if he's not allowed to dive once he returns.

Gordon is not starting Monday against the Yankees, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Gordon has been on a roll lately, hitting .353/.366/.456 over his last 21 games, though he's stolen just two bases over that stretch. Dylan Moore will start in second base in his absence.

Arcia is not in the lineup Monday against the Cardinals.

Arcia has started nine of the past 10 games, slashing .212/.308/.394 with two home runs and a 5:5 BB:K during that stretch. He'll take a seat Monday for the second time in three games as Cory Spangenberg picks up another start at shortstop in his stead.

Chang went 2-for-3 with a triple, walk and two runs Sunday in the Indians' 9-8 loss to the Royals in 10 innings.

Called up from Triple-A Columbus earlier in the day, Chang immediately stepped into the lineup as a replacement for the injured Jose Ramirez (hand) and ensured the Cleveland offense didn't miss a beat. It's worth noting the Indians were facing a left-handed starting pitcher (Eric Skoglund) in the contest, so the righty-hitting Chang won't necessarily see the overwhelming share of action at the hot corner while Ramirez is sidelined for at least multiple weeks. Manager Terry Francona could opt for a platoon at the position, with the lefty-batting Mike Freeman instead seeing the bulk of the starts in such a scenario.

Swanson (foot) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Swanson wound up missing over a month with a bruised foot. He was in the middle of a career year prior to the injury, hitting .265/.330/.468 with 17 homers in 100 games. His return will push Adeiny Hechavarria to the bench, with outfielder Adam Duvall optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett to clear a roster spot.

Wendle (wrist) went 1-for-4 in a loss to the Orioles on Sunday, his first game back from the injured list.

Wendle started and played a full game at third base, a position that Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports will be the one he most often fills the rest of the season with Eric Sogard playing well at second base. Topkin adds that Wendle will also cut down on pregame swings and likely play no more than two games in a row the rest of the way in an effort to manage the workload on his right wrist, which still has some soreness.
