Edman went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs in a win over the Pirates on Wednesday.

Edman was productive out of the leadoff spot, setting the table in a fashion befitting of that role. The rookie's season line currently sits at .258/.290/.470 across 69 plate appearances, but the majority of his success has come from spots other than the top of the order. Even factoring in Wednesday's production, Edman is hitting just .213 in 49 plate appearances when leading off.

Seager is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Seager and A.J. Pollock only recently returned from extended stints on the injured list, so both will be given a breather as the Dodgers and Phillies conclude their series with a day game after a night game. Enrique Hernandez checks in at shortstop for Seager, who has recorded four hits in 22 at-bats in his first six games back in action.

Bichette went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI for Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

It's the first two-homer game of the 21-year-old's career, but he's been on fire ever since he returned to action in early June from a broken left hand, slashing .353/.419/.583 through his last 35 games with six home runs, 12 steals, 23 RBI and 27 runs. Bichette would seem to have nothing left to prove in the International League, but he might have to wait for a trade to create a spot on the big-league roster before he gets the call -- assuming the Jays don't decide to buy themselves an extra year of team control by leaving him in the minors until next April, regardless of his performance.

Anderson (ankle) will be evaluated when the White Sox return to Chicago next Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Anderson, who is currently with the team on its road trip, has been out since June 25. The team expects to have a better sense of timing for his minor-league rehab assignment pending the results of the evaluation.

Story went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 11-8 loss to the Giants.

Story finished only a single short of the cycle, but he didn't have a legitimate chance of attaining the feat since he hit the homer during the ninth inning. The 26-year-old has a .250/.294/.625 slash line with five home runs in 12 games since coming off the injured list July 2.

Mondesi was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder subluxation Wednesday.

Mondesi suffered the injury after diving for a foul ball in Tuesday's game against the White Sox. It's not yet clear when the Royals expect him to return. Humberto Arteaga was recalled from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

Adames, who went 3-for-4 with two doubles in a loss to the Yankees on Tuesday, is 8-for-22 with four doubles, an RBI, a stolen base and two runs in the five games he's suited up since the All-Star break.

Adames' pair of two-baggers Tuesday pushed his July tally to four, exactly a quarter of his doubles total for the season. The current hot stretch is helping resurrect Adames' key offensive numbers after he opened the month going 2-for-27 with 13 strikeouts across seven pre-All-Star-break contests.

Crawford is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Crawford is 10-for-24 with four home runs and 12 RBI since the All-Star break, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday following a string of six straight starts. In his place, Donovan Solano is starting at shortstop and hitting eighth.

Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Bogaerts took Jacob Waguespack deep in the first inning for his 21st home run of the season. The effort also marked his fourth consecutive multi-hit game and extended his hitting streak to eight contests. Bogaerts is in the midst of a career-best season, hitting .312/.399/.575 across 411 plate appearances.

Mondesi will undergo an MRI on his left shoulder after leaving Tuesday's game versus the White Sox, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Mondesi sustained the injury when diving for a foul ball during the fifth inning, and the athletic trainer held Mondesi's left arm as he exited the field. Per Flanagan, teammate Hunter Dozier said Mondesi believed he suffered a dislocated left shoulder, but there won't be an official diagnosis until after the MRI.
