Adames went 1-for-3 with an RBI double, a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals.

Adames kicked things off with a double in the first to score Owen Miller and put the Brewers out front 1-0. He would also steal third in the inning for his fourth stolen base of the year. Adames entered Tuesday's game in a 3-for-27 slump and hadn't recorded an RBI since May 8. The 27-year-old has scuffled to a .170/.224/.302 slash line to go along with nine RBI, four runs and a 3:14 BB:K over 14 games in May thus far.

Duran started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-4 win over Atlanta.

Duran's run at shortstop was expected to end Tuesday, but he received a stay when Corey Seager (hamstring) developed a stomach bug and was not activated. Whenever Seager is ready -- the hamstring no longer appears to be an issue -- manager Bruce Bochy will need to find a spot for Duran, who is hitting .301 (22-for-73) with five home runs, three doubles, 14 RBI and 12 runs scored over the last 18 games.

Seager has not been activated off the 10-day injured list because of a stomach bug, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Seager was expected to be activated in the early part of the week from his lengthy IL stint due to a hamstring strain, but the infielder's illness has kept him from returning the lineup. Assuming he feels better in the coming days, Seager should be back and starting for the Rangers at shortstop by the end of the week.

Crawford is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Phillies.

Crawford returned from his left calf strain over the weekend, but the Giants will ride with hot-hitting youngster Casey Schmitt at shortstop Tuesday. J.D. Davis is at third base and Thairo Estrada is playing second.

Cheng has a .262/.382/.524 slash line with four home runs, nine steals and an 18.5 percent strikeout rate in 29 games for High-A Greensboro.

The 5-foot-7 infielder has split time evenly at shortstop and second base for the Grasshoppers, and his likely long-term home is the keystone. Cheng's command of the strike zone has been impeccable dating back to 2021 when he was in complex ball, but this power output is unexpected for the 21-year-old. He has the highest pull (46.9 percent) and flyball (37.2 percent) rates of his career.

Seager (hamstring) won't be activated before Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Seager is closing in on a return to the lineup for the Rangers from his left hamstring strain, but the shortstop will miss at least one more game. Ezequiel Duran gets the start at shortstop and will hit seventh.

Chang (wrist) began fielding ground balls and swinging the bat Tuesday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Chang underwent surgery on his left wrist April 28 and has already begun work in the field, putting him well ahead of schedule in the rehab process. While this is an encouraging sign, Chang likely still has another month or so before he'll be ready to return to Boston's lineup.

Berti is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Nationals.

Berti has fallen back into more of a utility role with the Marlins and will need a fresh uptick in starts to make his speed count for fantasy purposes. He is also just 6-for-9 on stolen-base attempts this season.

The Guardians will recall Rocchio from Triple-A Columbus prior to Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

It's not clear at this point what the corresponding move will be. Rocchio was up with the big club briefly last month but didn't make an appearance. The 22-year-old is batting .338/.396/.487 with one home run and 10 stolen bases at Columbus this season. Rocchio has played both middle-infield spots in 2023 and has some experience at third base, as well. The top prospect would make for an interesting fantasy add if he played regularly, but there wouldn't seem to be a path to that right now.

Mateo went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Angels.

His walk Monday was his first time on base in his last five games. With his bat slumping, Mateo could be at risk of seeing his playing time slip. Despite an 0-for-16 skid, he's still slashing .259/.309/.473 with 13 steals, six home runs, 20 RBI and 24 runs scored through 35 contests. His defense is also strong enough to keep him in the mix at shortstop.
