Garcia (shoulder) went 1-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in High-A Daytona's loss to Florida on Tuesday.

A slide into second base Saturday resulted in a shoulder injury and led to a brief absence from the lineup, but Garcia seems be fine now. The steal was his ninth in 11 attempts, and he has now hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games with Daytona. His .727 OPS ranks third on the team among players with 100 plate appearances.

Rojas (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas exited Tuesday's game against the Mets with a right hamstring strain, and a subsequent MRI confirmed the issue is serious enough to keep the shortstop on the shelf for at least the next 10 days. Deven Marrero was summoned from Triple-A New Orleans in a corresponding move, while Jon Berti, who is starting at shortstop Wednesday, will likely fill in at shortstop while Rojas is on the shelf.

Rojas (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

While the Marlins haven't announced any roster moves yet, Rojas looks like he could be headed to the injured list, as another infielder (Deven Marrero) is up from Triple-A New Orleans as a member of the taxi squad, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald. Rojas was diagnosed with a strained right hamstring following his departure from Tuesday's 5-0 loss, but the Marlins are still awaiting the results of an MRI before putting a timeline on his return. Jon Berti will get the starting nod at shortstop and as the Marlins' leadoff man Wednesday and should be in line to fill those duties for the duration of Rojas' absence.

Berti will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Wednesday against the Mets, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

The rookie will enter the starting nine for the sixth time in seven games at his third different position. Berti's versatility should give him a clear path to semi-regular work the rest of the way even when the Marlins are at full strength, but Miguel Rojas' (hamstring) seemingly imminent move to the injured list should open up shortstop for the 29-year-old on an everyday basis. Berti also has a decent with an extended look in the leadoff role after posting a .400 on-base percentage to go with three steals in three attempts since returning from his own stint on the IL in late July.

Turner went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, two runs and a walk in the Nationals' 5-3 win over the Giants on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old posted a big day from atop the order, reaching base in all four of his plate appearances and cranking his 10th long ball of the season with a fifth-inning solo blast off Conner Menez. The performance boosts his slash line up to .285/.348/.481 across 338 plate appearances.

Berti went 2-for-4 with two doubles in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Mets.

His two-baggers were the only extra-base hits Miami could manage on the night. The 29-year-old has bounced around the diamond in a utility role since coming off the IL at the end of July, going 10-for-25 (.400) with three steals, five doubles and a triple. If Miguel Rojas' hamstring strain proves to be serious, Berti could find himself as the team's starting shortstop.

Rojas exited Tuesday's game versus the Mets with a right hamstring strain, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas sustained the injury when he lost his balance running to first base, causing him to land awkwardly on his right leg. The 30-year-old will return to Miami a day early to undergo an MRI, per Craig Mish of FNTSY Sports Radio.

Rojas was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets with a right leg injury, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas lost his balance running to first base and landed awkwardly on his right leg, forcing him to leave the contest. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but the 30-year-old put limited weight on the leg as he was helped off the field.

Camargo isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Camargo is in line for an off day after starting the first five contests of August. He went just 1-for-16 with three walks over that stretch. Charlie Culberson gets the nod at shortstop and is set to bat eighth in Camargo's stead.

Cruz, who was promoted to Double-A Altoona on July 30, has gone 5-for-26 (.192 average) with a 2:8 BB:K in his first eight games with the affiliate.

Despite striking out in 26.2 percent of his plate appearances with High-A Bradenton earlier this season, Cruz was still a well-above-average producer during his time in the Florida State League, turning in a .301/.345/.515 slash line (153 wRC+). He may need to reduce the swing and miss in his game to replicate that level of success in Double-A, where he'll be matching up against more advanced arms. Given that Cruz is far younger than most of his contemporaries in the Eastern League at just 20 years old, it wouldn't be surprising if he fails to turn in standout numbers in his first taste of Double-A.
