MLB Player News

Mondesi is not starting Tuesday against Cleveland, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Mondesi has played regularly since his mid-June callup but hasn't done much with the bat, hitting just .184/.205/.342 in 12 games. Alcides Escobar will start at shortstop Tuesday.

Diaz is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Diaz will sit for the first time since returning from an ankle injury June 1. Lourdes Gurriel will get the start at shortstop.

Adames is not starting Tuesday against the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The young infielder is hitting a somewhat disappointing .225/.282/.338 through his first 20 major-league games, striking out 35.9 percent of the time. Adeiny Hechavarria will start at shortstop Tuesday.

Lindor went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, a career-high seven RBI and three runs in Monday's 9-3 win over the Royals.

Lindor broke the game open with a grand slam in the fourth inning and knocked Royals starter Jakob Junis out of the game with a three-run blast in the sixth inning. It was the shortstop's third consecutive game with a home run, with Lindor tallying six extra-base hits over that span. The power surge has lifted Lindor's OPS to a career-best .954, good for eighth in the majors among qualified hitters.

DeJong (hand) went 0-for-4 with an RBI from a sacrifice fly in Triple-A Memphis' win over Iowa on Monday. He struck out twice.

DeJong was making the first of back-to-back starts for the Redbirds on Monday, after which he's likely to be activated. While his day at the plate wasn't successful, the important thing is that he was able to play all nine innings in the field and continues to progress without setbacks. DeJong's status is likely to be updated after Tuesday night's game.

Camargo went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's extra-innings win over the Yankees.

His third-inning shot off Jonathan Loaisiga -- Camargo's eighth homer of the year -- kick-started the Braves' offense in an eventual 5-3 win. The 24-year-old continues to tear the cover off the ball, slashing .338/.375/.541 over his last 20 games with three home runs and 16 RBI, and while in the long run he might be ticketed for a utility role once prospect Austin Riley (knee) is ready to take the reins at the hot corner, Camargo is doing his best to prove he's a starting-caliber major-league player.

Adrianza was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday with a left hamstring strain.

It's unclear how serious Adrianza's injury is or how long he'll be out. When he returns, it will likely be in a utility role, as starting shortstop Jorge Polanco was reinstated from his suspension Monday.

Wendle is not in the lineup Monday against the left-handed Wei-Yin Chen and the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wendle has still yet to start against a southpaw this season. Daniel Robertson gets the nod in left field in his place.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with a run in a win over the Astros on Sunday.

Wendle hit leadoff for just the third time this season and was able to extend his hitting streak to four games in the process. The 28-year-old continues to carve out playing time for himself with defensive versatility, as he's now drawn three straight starts in left field, adding to a resume that already includes time at second base, third base and shortstop.

Ahmed went 2-for-5 with a triple and run scored in Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Giants.

The shortstop has recorded hits in five consecutive games, marking his second-longest stretch of the season. The Diamondbacks have been rotating Ahmed, Daniel Descalso and Ketel Marte at the middle-infield spots of late, but Ahmed's playing time looks to be the most stable of the trio. Descalso is typically excluded from the lineup against lefty pitching and has recorded just four hits in 36 at-bats over his last 13 games, while Marte is considered day-to-day after suffering a hamstring cramp during Saturday's contest.
