The Giants selected Camargo's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Camargo just inked a minor-league deal with San Francisco on Saturday and had gone 2-for-9 with a homer and three RBI in two games with their Triple-A affiliate. The 29-year-old will likely operate as a backup option all across the Giants' infield.

Wendle is not in the lineup Monday against the Astros.

Jon Berti will start at shortstop and bat ninth with left-hander Framber Valdez taking the mound for Houston. Wendle holds a brutal .235/.269/.326 overall slash line on the season and continues to sit versus most southpaws.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Swanson had been in a bit of a funk, as he entered Sunday batting just .135 over his last 10 games. The shortstop did muster three home runs during that stretch, however, and he's been mostly solid in his first season with the Cubs with a .787 OPS overall. Swanson posted a .776 OPS last year with Atlanta, where he tallied 25 home runs and 96 RBI as part of a potent offensive attack.

Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Padres.

Perdomo hasn't done well in August, as this was his first multi-hit effort of the month. He's gone 7-for-30 (.233) over his last 11 contests. The shortstop is still seeing a starting role against right-handers, but he's been at the bottom of the lineup in his last two games. Perdomo has a .270/.371/.405 slash line with six homers, 38 RBI, 50 runs scored and 13 stolen bases over 100 contests, but it's tough to see him rebounding well enough to bump Corbin Carroll out of the leadoff spot.

Rojas went 1-for-2 with a home run and four RBI in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Rockies.

Rojas had a solo shot in the fourth inning, while his three other plate appearances were productive outs that each generated a run. While he's gone a paltry 8-for-36 (.222) in August, he's up to eight RBI over 13 games this month despite routinely hitting toward the bottom of the order. The infielder has a .219/.271/.287 slash line with two homers, 20 RBI, 35 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 306 plate appearances this season.

Abrams was removed from Sunday's win over the Athletics in the top of the eighth inning due to back spasms, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Abrams went 0-for-3 to begin Sunday's matchup and was replaced defensively by Jeter Downs to begin the eighth inning. It's unclear whether Abrams will be forced to miss additional time, but he'll at least be able to rest during the Nationals' scheduled day off Monday.

The Giants will re-evaluate Luciano (hamstring) in a couple of weeks, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Luciano was expected to join the major-league squad when he came out of Tuesday's game at Triple-A Sacramento, but it was later revealed he suffered a strained hamstring. The fact that he will be out for multiple weeks before the team takes another look at him indicates that Luciano may be dealing with a Grade 2 strain, though nothing has been confirmed at the moment. A timeline for the young infielder's return will likely emerge after he gets evaluated.

The Giants signed Camargo to a minor league deal Saturday.

Camargo joined his third organization in the 2023 season after being with the Royals and Tigers previously. All of his game this season have come at the Triple-A level, including Saturday's game for Triple-A Sacramento, in which he went 2-for-5. In the minors this season, the infielder is slashing .268/.348/.479.

Turner went 3-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Twins.

The Phillies' offensive malaise Saturday didn't slow down Turner's resurgence. The shortstop has hit safely in nine straight games, collecting multiple hits in five of them and batting .457 (16-for-35) over that stretch with six doubles, two homers, one steal, six runs and 10 RBI. While his numbers on the season remain well below expectations, Turner appears to have flipped the switch and could be poised for a stretch run worthy of a player who signed a $300 million contract over the winter.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 win over Toronto.

Swanson came up big with a three-run home run off Chris Bassitt in the top of the fourth to put the Cubs up 4-1. The shortstop now has five long balls and 13 RBI in August, though he's batting just .171 for the month and came into Saturday's contest having failed to record a hit in each of his previous four games. He's also struck out 15 times already this month while drawing only two walks.
