Edman went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Cubs.

Edman is up to 14 steals on the season, six of which have come over 20 games in June. He's hitting just .200 (14-for-70) this month, but he's hit safely in eight of his last 10 contests. For the season, Edman is at a .242/.313/.410 slash line with eight home runs, 27 RBI, 41 runs scored, 14 doubles and three triples through 74 games overall.

Velazquez notched a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.

Velazquez ran for David Fletcher and swiped a bag in the eighth inning. With Zach Neto (oblique) on the injured list, Velazquez had a chance to pick up regular playing time at shortstop, but it hasn't come to pass, as Fletcher has started the last two games there. Velazquez remains a solid speed threat with five steals this season, but he's batting just .227 (5-for-22) across nine contests, so he'll have to get his bat going to solidify his place in the lineup.

Tovar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Angels.

Tovar knocked in the Rockies' last two runs of the game, giving them just enough for the win. The shortstop has hit safely in his last nine games, going 13-for-37 (.351) over that span. For the season, he's up to a .262/.296/.430 slash line with seven homers, 33 RBI, 34 runs scored and three stolen bases through 73 contests. Tovar hit leadoff for the first time this season Sunday, but that was likely just because Jurickson Profar had the day off. Over the last couple of weeks, Tovar has often hit second in the order.

McLain went 4-for-5 with a home run, three doubles, five RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.

This was McLain's second game in a row with a homer and his fourth multi-hit effort in his last 10 contests. The infielder got the nod at second base with Jonathan India receiving a day off. McLain has stepped up since his big-league debut May 15, slashing .325/.380/.541 with five homers, 22 RBI, 30 runs scored, four stolen bases, 11 doubles and four triples over 37 games. He's primarily played at shortstop and looks set to hold onto an everyday role.

Turner went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two additional RBI, one additional run scored and two steals in Sunday's victory over the Mets.

Turner hit a home run and stole a base in the same game for just the second time this season. The shortstop now has eight homers, 28 RBI, 15 steals and 44 runs scored across 76 games (340 plate appearances), but he's still slashing just .248/.305/.387, which would all be his lowest marks since his rookie campaign in 2015 when he played in only 27 games.

Velazquez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

The 28-year-old made seven consecutive starts at shortstop after Zach Neto (oblique) landed on the injured list June 15, but David Fletcher is making his second straight start Sunday after having his contract selected from Triple-A Albuquerque. Fletcher went 4-for-6 with a home run and five RBI in his first big-league game since April on Saturday and might have the upper hand on Velazquez for playing time.

Hamilton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Hamilton started the past three games after being promoted Wednesday and has gone 1-for-9 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs. Enrique Hernandez will take over at shortstop Sunday.

Crawford (shoulder) went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in an extra-inning loss to the Orioles on Saturday.

The veteran shortstop was back in the lineup and leading off after missing three games with a bruised shoulder, and he slugged the second of four Mariners homers on the afternoon in the third inning. Crawford has now left the yard twice in his last four games after going 16 straight games without a round tripper immediately prior to that streak. He's been a constant presence on the bases throughout his last 10 games, however, generating a .391 OBP thanks in large part to a 15.2 percent walk rate in that span.

Wendle is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The lefty-hitting Wendle has hits in five of his past six games but has just a .534 OPS during that span, and he'll head to the bench Sunday despite righty Johan Oviedo being on the mound for Pittsburgh. Rookie Jacob Amaya is starting at shortstop and batting eighth.

Anderson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

The 30-year-old started the past two days at second base after missing five games with a shoulder injury, and he's back out of the starting nine Sunday. There's been no report that Anderson aggravated the injury, so it may just be an extra maintenance day amid a 2-for-30 slump. Elvis Andrus will receive another start at shortstop while Zach Remillard mans the keystone.
