Arcia went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's Game 1 loss to the Dodgers.

Arcia provided the Brewers' only runs of the opening game of the best-of-three NL Wild Card Series. He should start at shortstop again in Game 2 against lefty Clayton Kershaw.

General manager Ben Cherington expects Cruz to take part in spring training despite the 21-year-old's role in an offseason accident in the Dominican Republic, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

"No reason to believe he wouldn't be available for spring training, full participant," Cherington said. "No information that I have that would suggest he wouldn't be." The accident took the lives of three people. Some reports coming out of the Dominican Republic remain unclear and fantasy managers will still need to take a wait-and-see approach with the fallout from the tragedy.

The Braves recalled Camargo from their alternate training site Wednesday ahead of Game 1 of their wild-card series with the Reds.

Atlanta will go with Camargo, Charlie Culberson and Pablo Sandoval as their main reserve options in the infield during the postseason. Camargo hit .200 with four home runs and nine RBI across 127 plate appearances during the regular season.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Padres.

Crawford clocked a two-run blast in the seventh inning to inch the Giants toward a comeback attempt that fell short. The veteran shortstop ends his 2020 campaign with a .750 OPS, eight homers and 28 RBI.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a grand slam, seven RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 15-5 win over the Mets.

Turner's big day Sunday added an exclamation mark to his terrific 2020 campaign. His third-inning grand slam was his 12th long ball of the season and he later pushed his RBI total to 41 with a two-run single and an RBI walk. The star shortstop finished with a .335/.394/.588 slash line and 31 extra-base hits.

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

Rojas had started each of the previous six games, so he'll be getting a routine breather in the regular-season finale. Jazz Chisholm steps in for Rojas at shortstop.

The Cubs added Baez to the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. He'll serve as the team's designated hitter and bat fifth.

Baez was initially in line to receive the regular-season finale off, but manager David Ross ultimately changed his mind, deciding that he wanted to have the 27-year-old get some extra at-bats in prior to the playoffs. Willson Contreras will bow out of the lineup to make room for Baez.

Baez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Chicago clinched the division Saturday and cannot improve its seeding with a win Sunday, so a number of regulars are getting the day off. Baez sits tied with Nicky Lopez for the second-worst wRC+ among all qualified hitters in baseball.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during a 5-3 win over the Mets in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

The shortstop kicked off a five-run third inning for the Nats by taking Rick Porcello deep. Turner is putting the finishing touches on another impressive campaign, slashing .333/.391/.579 through 58 games with 11 homers, 12 steals, 34 RBI and 44 runs.

Berti went 1-for-3 with two runs, one RBI, two walks and one stolen base during Saturday's loss to the Yankees.

Berti has started the past eight games since returning from the injured list last week and is 6-for-21 with one double, two runs, four RBI and eight walks during that stretch. The 30-year-old enters the final game of the regular season with a .256/.385/.350 slash line with nine stolen bases in 145 plate appearances.
