Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Back in action Tuesday
Rojas (wrist) is in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.
Rojas suffered a bruised wrist after being hit by a pitch Sunday. He left the game, but the issue was apparently a minor one as he's already back in the lineup.

Bo Bichette 3B | NYM
Blue Jays' Bo Bichette: Breaks skid at plate
Bichette went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs for Double-A New Hampshire in its 10-5 win over Hartford on Monday.
The three hits matched Bichette's total from the previous six games combined, spelling an end to the young shortstop's longest slump of the season. While it was good to see Bichette turn in a solid performance to lift his on-base percentage to a respectable .353 for the campaign, he hasn't been able to replicate the power production he delivered during his first two professional seasons. The 20-year-old has yet to hit a home run through 150 plate appearances and carries a .403 slugging percentage, a 162-point drop from the mark he posted between two levels of A-ball in 2017.

Joey Wendle 2B | ATL
Rays' Joey Wendle: Takes seat against lefty
Wendle is out of the lineup Monday against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
As per usual, Wendle will take a seat on the bench with a southpaw (Eric Skoglund) starting for the opposition. Daniel Robertson will start at the keystone and hit fifth in his stead.

Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Day off Monday
Camargo is on the bench Monday as the Braves take on the Cubs.
Camargo had started every game at shortstop since Dansby Swanson (wrist) hit the disabled list in early May. He's hitting just .196 through 19 games, but his .339 on-base percentage and .392 slugging percentage are both respectable. He can probably blame BABIP luck at least somewhat for his low batting average, as it sits at just .216 despite a 43.6 percent hard-hit rate. Charlie Culberson will start at shortstop in his place Monday.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Nationals' Trea Turner: Pops fifth homer Sunday
Turner went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run, a stolen base and a second run scored in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.
After a slow start in the power department, Turner's now launched three homers in the last week to give him five on the year. Hitting at the top of the Nats' order is limiting his RBI opportunities -- all three of those recent home runs were solo shots -- but otherwise the 24-year-old is supplying fantasy value across the board, and Turner's career-high 14.8 percent walk rate is giving him an additional boost in OBP leagues.

Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD
Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Suffers bruised wrist
X-rays on Rojas' bruised left wrist were negative Sunday but his immediate availability remains uncertain, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
He left the game against the Braves after being hit on the wrist by a pitch, finishing 0-for-1 with a walk. Rojas was replaced at first base by Derek Dietrich. The Marlins have an off-day Monday, and Rojas should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Nick Ahmed SS | TEX
Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Finds bench Sunday
Ahmed is not in the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.
Ahmed will receive a day of rest after making 16 straight starts for the Diamondbacks, a stretch over which he slashed .246/.281/.443 with three homers and seven RBI. Ketel Marte will take over at shortstop with Chris Owings manning the keystone.

Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Exits after HBP
Rojas exited Sunday's game against the Braves early after being hit by a pitch on his hand, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
Rojas was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning and was replaced at first base entering the eighth frame. The specifics of his hand injury have not been revealed, but that information should become available shortly.

Ehire Adrianza 3B | LAA
Twins' Ehire Adrianza: Hits bench Sunday
Adrianza is out of the lineup Sunday against the Angels, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
With Miguel Sano (hamstring) sidelined since late April, Adrianza has received the majority of the starts at shortstop while Eduardo Escobar has shifted over to Sano's normal post at third base. Though he'll be given the day off Sunday, Adrianza still looks to have some leash in the full-time role with Sano having yet to officially begin a minor-league rehab assignment. Gregorio Petit will receive the nod at shortstop in the series finale.

Dee Strange-Gordon SS | WAS
Mariners' Dee Gordon: Scuffles in return to action
Gordon (toe) went 0-for-7 with an RBI from a sacrifice fly and a walk in a doubleheader against the Tigers on Saturday.
Gordon had missed Thursday's series finale against the Blue Jays with a bruised toe and then had seen his planned Friday return postponed due to weather. He could only muster a sacrifice fly in the first game of Saturday's twin bill, but he still sported an impressive .366 average over 43 May plate appearances heading into Sunday's action.
