Crawford is not in the lineup Thursday against the Reds, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Crawford has been cleared to return from a hamstring injury that has kept him on the shelf all month, but the Mariners apparently want to give him another day off. Donnie Walton is starting at shortstop in this one.

Correa (back) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

Correa will stick with the Express during their playoff run; if the team gets eliminated, the shortstop will continue rehabbing with High-A Fayetteville or play in simulated games to get back up to speed. His return date remains up in the air.

Adames is not starting Thursday against the Rangers, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Adames will head to the bench for what appears to be a routine day off following a string of 10 straight starts. Daniel Robertson is starting at shortstop and hitting eighth in his place.

Story is not in Thursday's lineup against the Cardinals.

He had started 17 games in a row, hitting .296 with two home runs and two steals over that stretch. Garrett Hampson will start at shortstop and lead off.

Edman is not in Thursday's lineup against the Rockies.

He is hitting .250 with two home runs and two steals in 11 games this month. Matt Carpenter will start at third base and hit fifth.

Arcia was reinstated from the paternity list prior to Thursday's game against the Marlins. He is starting at shortstop and batting eighth.

As expected, he is back in the fold after missing three games following the birth of his twin daughters. Arcia should get the bulk of the starts at shortstop down the stretch, but he will likely sit occasionally in favor of Hernan Perez.

Mondesi is not in Thursday's lineup against the White Sox.

Since coming off the injured list, Mondesi is hitting .308 with two home runs and eight steals in nine games. Nicky Lopez will get the nod at shortstop while Whit Merrifield starts at the keystone.

Mondesi went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, two additional runs scored and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the White Sox.

The 24-year-old's offensive arsenal was on full display, and Mondesi now has nine homers and 39 steals on the year through only 91 games to go with a .270/.297/.439 slash line. His weak OBP puts a ceiling on his fantasy value in certain formats, but as long as he keeps running every chance he gets, Mondesi will be a highly sought-after asset in 2020.

Downs went 4-for-5 with three solo home runs and a double for Double-A Tulsa in Game 2 of the Texas League Championship Series on Wednesday.

Downs upped his postseason batting average to .344 (11-for-32) in the 18-9 rout while raising his long-ball total to eight in his first 19 Double-A games (regular season and postseason combined). The 21-year-old was acquired from the Reds last December and has quickly become one of the top prospects in the Dodgers organization by slashing .276/.362/.526 with 24 homers, 86 RBI and 24 steals in 119 games between High-A Rancho Cucamonga and Double-A Tulsa this season.

Camargo (lower leg) was sporting crutches after Wednesday's game but is only expected to be sidelined a couple days, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Camargo suffered a right shin bruise Wednesday after fouling a ball off himself, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury. Adeiny Hechavarria and Charlie Culberson should serve as the primary utility players for the Braves while he's sidelined.
