Mauricio is slashing .274/.330/.405 through 22 games in July for Low-A Columbia with one home run, one stolen base in four attempts and a 6:18 BB:K.

While the 18-year-old hasn't been setting the world on fire in the Sally League, posting a wRC+ of 104 as a teenager in full-season ball is still impressive. Mauricio remains the No. 1 fantasy prospect in the Mets' system, and while he's still likely a few years away from the majors, he could put together a breakout at any time if the rest of his skill set starts to catch up to his hit tool.

Shewmake is slashing .318/.378/.453 through his first 36 games for Low-A Rome with one home run, four steals and a 13:22 BB:K.

The 21st overall pick in the 2019 draft, Shewmake's age (21 years old) and college background make his early success in the Sally League less of a surprise than the expected outcome, but it's still a lot better than the alternative. Atlanta is leaving him at shortstop for now, but a shift down the defensive spectrum remains possible as Shewmake fills out and matures.

Edman went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in a win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

Edman did a nice job setting the table out of the leadoff spot on a couple of occasions, even though the Cardinals weren't able to drive him home in either. The rookie has reached safely in seven consecutive starts and continues to offer well-balanced contributions at the plate, as evidenced by his four doubles, two triples, four home runs and six stolen bases overall across his first 121 big-league plate appearances.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.

The shortstop has hit safely in six straight games and eight of the last nine, slashing .333/.381/.590 over that stretch. On the season. Turner's now hitting .284 with nine homers, 28 RBI, 47 runs and 21 steals in 68 games.

Anderson went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.

Anderson's ninth-inning, run-producing sacrifice fly sent the game into extra innings. He returned to the lineup after missing 26 games due to an ankle injury.

Arcia went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in a loss to Oakland on Tuesday.

Arcia collected his third single in the eighth inning and came around to score Milwaukee's first run on a single off the bat of Yasmani Grandal. The three-hit game was his third of the season and snapped a cold spell in which he had collected only four hits over his previous 43 at-bats.

Gordon (quadriceps) is traveling with the Mariners during their current road trip and is scheduled to work out with the team during its weekend series in Houston this coming weekend, Alyson Footer of MLB.com reports.

Gordon has been able to resume taking batting practice and appears on the cusp of starting to perform some drills in the field as well. The speedster is eligible to be activated from the injured list as early as Friday, but he's slated to remain out at least a week past that point. "He's doing better," manager Scott Servais said. "If he gets through the workouts in Houston, we'll send him out on a rehab shortly after that, and then back with us. Just a game or two [of rehab], to make sure he's 100 percent."

Anderson (ankle) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Anderson will wind up missing slightly over a month with his sprained right ankle. He hit .348 over the course of five rehab games and should now return to a key role in Chicago's lineup, where he hit .317/.342/.491 prior to the injury. Ryan Cordell was optioned in a corresponding move.

Bichette went 1-for-4 in his big-league debut Monday during a win over the Royals.

Getting the start at shortstop and hitting sixth, the 21-year-old also turned a nifty unassisted double play in the field and looked more than ready for the big leagues. The Jays' infield of the future is now in place with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bichette and Cavan Biggio all on the roster, and the club's fortunes will ride heavily on their development.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's 11-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

The infielder had only one homer through his first 97 games this season, but Rojas has now gone deep in three straight games, boosting his slash line on the year to .289/.344/.382. With the trade deadline looming, the 30-year-old has picked the right time to get hot if Miami is thinking about moving him.
