Braves' Johan Camargo: Suffers shin bruise
Camargo exited Wednesday's game at Philadelphia with a right shin contusion.
The 25-year-old fouled a ball off his right shin during the fourth inning and was unable to put any weight on the leg when he was helped off the field. Camargo should be considered day-to-day until more is known on the injury.

Braves' Johan Camargo: Exits Wednesday's game

Braves' Johan Camargo: Slugs seventh homer
Camargo went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Phillies.
Camargo led off the second inning with a double, but was ultimately stranded at third base. He took matters into his own hands to lead off the eighth inning with a solo home run, his seventh homer of the season. Tuesday marked Camargo's first start since Aug. 15, and his .234/.280/.385 line in 97 games is nothing noteworthy.

Corey Seager SS | TEX
Dodgers' Corey Seager: Drives in five
Seager went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI against the Orioles on Tuesday.
Seager paced the Dodgers' offense, first driving a 419-foot three-run homer in the first frame. He followed that up with a two-run shot just two innings later, bringing his season total to 16. While his overall body of work has been a disappointment, Seager now has three long balls in his past seven starts. He'll look to keep improving on his .263/.329/.463 line to close the campaign.

Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Won't return until Thursday
Arcia (personal) will rejoin the Brewers on Thursday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Previous reports held that Arcia would return from the paternity list Wednesday. He'll apparently be flying to meet up with the team that day but won't be back in the lineup until the following day. Hernan Perez has been starting at shortstop in his absence.

Tommy Edman 2B | LAD
Cardinals' Tommy Edman: Playing time secure rest of season
Although he projects to continue playing multiple positions, Edman is essentially locked into an everyday role for the balance of the regular season, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
The rookie has forced manager Mike Shildt's hand via his strong play with both the bat and glove. The switch-hitting Edman has acquitted himself well against both handedness of pitcher, but especially versus southpaws (.333/.362/.545 line over 69 plate appearances). Edman's extensive positional versatility has also made him a valued defensive asset, with perhaps no better example than when he played three different positions over three games during the Cardinals' back-to-back doubleheaders last week. The 24-year-old's contributions at the plate have been well-rounded, as he's hitting .278 with 25 extra-base hits (14 doubles, four triples, seven home runs), 27 RBI, 10 walks, 11 stolen bases and 42 runs over his first 267 big-league plate appearances.

Javier Baez SS | DET
Cubs' Javier Baez: Unlikely to return before playoffs
A hand specialist confirmed that Baez has a hairline fracture on his left thumb, and he's unlikely to play again in September, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Baez isn't expected to return to action before the regular season comes to an end, so he'll begin rehabbing with the hope of being activated for the playoffs, should the Cubs qualify. With Addison Russell still in concussion protocol, look for Nico Hoerner to see the majority of the playing time at shortstop down the stretch.

Orlando Arcia SS | MIN
Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Expected back Wednesday
Arcia (personal) is expected to rejoin the Brewers on Wednesday, Sophia Minnaert of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.
Arcia landed on the paternity list following Sunday's win over the Cubs, but he's expected to rejoin the Brewers after spending a couple of days with his fiancee and their two newborn daughters. Hernan Perez is starting at shortstop in his place Monday.
