Rojas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas started the past nine contests and will take a seat after posting a .475 OPS during that stretch. Joey Wendle will shift to shortstop while Charles Leblanc starts at the keystone Sunday at Wrigley Field.

Edman (undisclosed) is starting at second base and batting ninth Sunday against the Yankees.

Edman was scratched from Saturday's lineup for unspecified reasons but is back in the starting nine a day later. The 27-year-old has struggled in 12 games since the All-Star break with a .225/.311/.275 slash line.

Marcano is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Marcano will hit the bench for the series finale after he went 5-for-16 with a triple, a walk, two runs and two RBI while starting each of the past four games at either second base or in left field. Kevin Newman should be the Bucs' primary option at the keystone moving forward, but Marcano could occupy the strong side of a platoon in left field with the switch-hitting Greg Allen.

Barrero went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Brewers.

Barrero's first two hits of the season left the yard, as he hit a two-run shot in the fourth inning and added a solo homer in the sixth. The 24-year-old struggled to a .209/.262/.377 slash line in 55 games with Triple-A Louisville, though he managed nine homers in the minors. He's expected to get an extended audition at shortstop, with Kyle Farmer making a full-time move to third base, per Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cruz went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's loss to the Orioles.

Cruz has just 11 hits in 13 games since the All-Star break, but five of them have left the park and he also has 12 RBI over that span. After bouncing around the batting order a bit, Cruz has now hit out of the fifth spot in four straight starts, all against right-handed pitchers.

Edman was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Nolan Gorman is now at second base for St. Louis, though a reason for the swap was not immediately available. Denton notes that Edman has dealt with a minor hip issue at times this season. Edman played all nine innings in Friday's win over New York.

Crawford (knee) was activated from the injured list Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The Giants' lineup for Saturday is still pending, but Crawford and Joc Pederson (concussion) will likely be in there to face right-hander Adam Oller after both were reinstated to the active roster. Following a resurgent campaign last year, Crawford's numbers have plummeted again in his age-35 season (.215/.297/.332 with five home runs and one stolen base).

Perdomo went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 6-5 win over the Rockies.

Perdomo fought off a 3-2 cutter from Alex Colome and dumped it into right field, plating the game-tying and go-ahead runs in the bottom of the eighth. An inning later, he made a lunging play in the field to secure the win for Arizona. It was a hopeful sequence for the young shortstop whose batting average hovers is at .201 through 96 games. He also has a DRS of minus-6, ranking him as one of the Diamondbacks' worst defenders this year.

Luciano (back) started a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Thursday, going 1-for-2 with a run and an RBI in his first game action since June 3.

Luciano looks to be nearing the finish line in his recovery from a lower-back strain, which has kept him out of action for the past two months. Before the injury surfaced, the Giants' top prospect was slashing .288/.360/.507 with eight home runs in 164 plate appearances at High-A Eugene.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a 5-3 win over the Giants.

Turner's seventh-inning solo shot traveled an estimated 419 feet to pad the Dodgers' lead. It was the shortstop's third homer in his past six games and his 18th of the campaign. Turner has already tied his career high -- which he set last season -- with 77 RBI, and he could make a run at the career-best 28 homers that he slugged in 2021 as well.
