Edman went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Brewers on Friday.

Edman drew another start at third base Friday and continued to make the multi-faceted contributions that have become a signature of his rookie campaign. The 24-year-old's two-bagger served as his seventh extra-base hit of September, and he continues to impress on the basepaths with a 92.3 percent success rate on steals (12-for-13).

Reyes will start in right field and bat sixth against the Cubs on Saturday.

He enjoyed the first three-hit game of his career Friday, missing the cycle by a home run. Reyes, who will be making just his fourth start in September, is slashing .231/.324/.431 with two homers in 74 plate appearances since being recalled in early August.

Story went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 10-8 win over the Padres.

The slugging shortstop has 32 homers, 20 steals, 79 RBI and a career-high 104 runs on the year to go with his robust .297/.356/.554 slash line. Story has 14 games left on the schedule -- eight of them at home in Coors Field -- to match or exceed the career-high 37 home runs he hit last year.

DeJong went 0-for-4 with two stolen bases and a run in a win over the Rockies on Thursday.

While he didn't partake in the Cardinals' offensive breakout -- in fact, DeJong was the only St. Louis starting position player that didn't hit safely in the contest -- the shortstop made a nice contribution for fantasy managers on the basepaths. Having come into 2019 with just one stolen base apiece in each of his first two big-league seasons, DeJong now has nine swipes on 14 attempts during the current campaign. Coupled with similar career-best marks in doubles (30) , home runs (26) and RBI (72), it's mostly been a banner season for the 26-year-old that even his career-high 127 strikeouts can't sully, considering he's still managed to drop his actual strikeout rate a full four percentage points from last season's 25.2.

Camargo was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a fractured right shin.

The team downplayed the injury after Camargo exited Wednesday's contest when he fouled a ball off himself, but he now looks to be facing an extended absence. The Braves expect him back in around three weeks but have yet to rule him out for the rest of the season, per Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, though it's difficult to imagine he'll have enough time to get back up to speed to make the postseason roster for the first round.

Story is not in Thursday's lineup against the Cardinals.

He had started 17 games in a row, hitting .296 with two home runs and two steals over that stretch. Garrett Hampson will start at shortstop and lead off.

Edman is not in Thursday's lineup against the Rockies.

He is hitting .250 with two home runs and two steals in 11 games this month. Matt Carpenter will start at third base and hit fifth.

Arcia was reinstated from the paternity list prior to Thursday's game against the Marlins. He is starting at shortstop and batting eighth.

As expected, he is back in the fold after missing three games following the birth of his twin daughters. Arcia should get the bulk of the starts at shortstop down the stretch, but he will likely sit occasionally in favor of Hernan Perez.

Downs went 4-for-5 with three solo home runs and a double for Double-A Tulsa in Game 2 of the Texas League Championship Series on Wednesday.

Downs upped his postseason batting average to .344 (11-for-32) in the 18-9 rout while raising his long-ball total to eight in his first 19 Double-A games (regular season and postseason combined). The 21-year-old was acquired from the Reds last December and has quickly become one of the top prospects in the Dodgers organization by slashing .276/.362/.526 with 24 homers, 86 RBI and 24 steals in 119 games between High-A Rancho Cucamonga and Double-A Tulsa this season.

Camargo (lower leg) was sporting crutches after Wednesday's game but is only expected to be sidelined a couple days, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Camargo suffered a right shin bruise Wednesday after fouling a ball off himself, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury. Adeiny Hechavarria and Charlie Culberson should serve as the primary utility players for the Braves while he's sidelined.
