Adames went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Marlins.

Adames has mashed four of his 14 home runs on the season in the last six games, a welcome sight for fantasy managers who stuck with him through his extended slump coming out of the All-Star break. He'll remain in the lineup for Sunday's series finale, manning shortstop while batting ninth, per Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network.

Story went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Giants.

The shortstop has gone deep on back-to-back nights, emphatically putting a 12-game power drought behind him. On the year, Story's slashing .279/.342/.549 with 24 homers, 14 steals, 61 RBI and 79 runs in 98 contests.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in a 7-2 victory over the Angels on Saturday.

This performance snapped Lindor's streak of three straight games with multiple hits, but he still has at least two hits in six of his last 10 contests. Plus, the homer he hit was his first since July 27. Lindor is slashing .307/.357/.530 with 19 home runs, 46 RBI, 62 runs and 17 steals in 416 plate appearances this season.

Berti went 3-for-5 with one run scored, one RBI, a double, a triple and two stolen bases in Saturday's loss at Tampa Bay.

Berti batted second and started at third base Saturday and played a pivotal role in the Miami offense. The 29-year-old was activated off the injured list Wednesday and is 6-for-13 with three runs scored and two RBI in his first three games off the shelf.

Garcia exited Saturday's game at High-A Daytona with a right shoulder injury, Tortugas broadcaster Justin Rocke reports.

Garcia sustained the injury sliding into second base and the opposing second baseman fell on him. Per Rocke, the injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern and Garcia should be considered day-to-day.

Fletcher will lead off and play shortstop Saturday against the Indians.

Fletcher was originally stationed on the bench, but he was a late addition to the lineup in place of Andrelton Simmons (undisclosed).

Baez went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in a 4-1 victory over the Brewers on Saturday.

Baez scored the first run for the Cubs and later drove in an eighth-inning insurance run. The 26-year-old also struck out for a league-leading 132nd time, but the strikeouts haven't dampened his production. Baez has 26 homers and 73 RBI and sports a .289/.320/.552 slash line with nine steals in 440 at-bats this season.

Mondesi (shoulder) recently progressed to hitting off a tee, but his return timetable is still up in the air, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. "He's making progress, but it's probably, realistically going to be a while," manager Ned Yost said earlier this week. "You definitely want him back before the year's out. You want to make sure, going into next year, that he's all right. He's working diligently. I don't know. I'm hoping."

Not long after his return from a groin injury, Mondesi landed back on the injured list after suffering a left shoulder subluxation July 16. Fantasy owners were hoping for a relatively quick turnaround, but the quotes from Yost don't inspire much confidence. Despite all the missed time, Mondesi still leads the majors in stolen bases with 31 in 35 attempts.

Fletcher is not in Saturday's lineup against the Indians.

He is hitting .262/.340/.333 with zero home runs and two steals in 42 at-bats over his last 10 games. Luis Rengifo will start at second base and lead off.

Rojas (hip) will play shortstop and bat leadoff Saturday against the Rays.

Rojas left Thursday's game against the Twins with hip tightness, but he's ready to go following Friday's scheduled day off. He'll look to continue his nine-game hitting streak, a stretch in which he's hitting .387/.406/.677.
