Herrera was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Wednesday, Craig Mish of FNTSY reports.

The Marlins need to clear a roster spot for the addition of Zac Gallen, who will have his contract purchased ahead of his scheduled start Thursday against the Cardinals. Herrera didn't stake a particularly firm claim to a roster spot, hitting just .200/.288/.314 in 63 games and posting the exact same .602 OPS he recorded in his debut season.

Wendle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Wendle has managed only one hit in 17 at-bats in his first five games back from the 10-day injured list, but he should continue to benefit from at least semi-regular action after the Rays moved corner infielder Yandy Diaz (hamstring) to the IL on Wednesday. The Rays may continue to confine the lefty-swinging Wendle to the bench versus southpaws, however, as will be the case in the series finale with CC Sabathia on the hill for New York.

Story went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in the Rockies' 8-1 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Story stayed locked in at the dish in this contest, as he smacked his 20th double of the season as part of his fourth straight multi-hit performance. The recent hot streak brings his slash line up to an excellent .294/.360/.549 to go along with 17 homers and 48 RBI through 293 at-bats.

Mondesi was removed from Tuesday's game at Seattle with right groin tightness, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

Mondesi is considered day-to-day and the Royals labeled his exit precautionary. The 23-year-old went 1-for-3 with a run scored and recorded his 27th stolen base before leaving the game. Kansas City will wrap up its series in Seattle on Wednesday.

Adrianza was placed on the injured list Tuesday with abdominal issues.

The utility man will be out at least until June 27 with this vague injury. Luis Arraez was recalled from Triple-A to take his spot on the roster.

Edman has logged action in five major-league games since being promoted from Triple-A Memphis on June 8 and is 1-for-6 with a double, a stolen base and three runs.

The rookie has only started one of those five contests, appearing as an in-game replacement in the other four. Edman's big-league tenure is expected to only last through Jedd Gyorko's (back) stay on the injured list, which could conclude as early as Tuesday.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a double and a pair of RBI in Monday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.

Crawford got the Giants on the board early with a two-run double off Kenta Maeda in the second, which proved to be the biggest blow in a narrow victory. The veteran shortstop has now contributed two solid performances over his last three contests (4-for-12 with three doubles). We have seen these brief spurts before this season, but they have yet to materialize into a legitimate hot streak. Crawford remains a low-end fantasy shortstop with a .209/.281/.322 slash line through 67 games.

Bogaerts went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 2-0 win over the Twins.

Bogaerts' ninth-inning double delivered the insurance run in the win. It was his AL-leading 22nd double, while the RBI was his team-leading 48th in 71 games.

Wendle, who went 0-for-3 in a loss to the Yankees on Monday, is 1-for-16 overall since returning from a stint on the injured list due to a wrist injury.

Wendle missed all but four games between April 1 and June 13 with hamstring and wrist issues, and he clearly is struggling to regain his timing against big-league arms. The versatile infielder is slashing an abysmal .111/.179/.139 over a modest 39 plate-appearance sample this season, but given his .300/.354/.435 line across 139 games in 2018, Wendle clearly has the ability to snap out of his current doldrums.

Seager (hamstring) played catch Monday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Seager was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left hamstring strain, but the Dodgers already have him playing catch, likely to keep his arm strong while his lower body heals. He's expected to remain on the shelf for approximately 4-to-6 weeks.
