Shewmake is slashing .318/.378/.453 through his first 36 games for Low-A Rome with one home run, four steals and a 13:22 BB:K.

The 21st overall pick in the 2019 draft, Shewmake's age (21 years old) and college background make his early success in the Sally League less of a surprise than the expected outcome, but it's still a lot better than the alternative. Atlanta is leaving him at shortstop for now, but a shift down the defensive spectrum remains possible as Shewmake fills out and matures.

Edman went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in a win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

Edman did a nice job setting the table out of the leadoff spot on a couple of occasions, even though the Cardinals weren't able to drive him home in either. The rookie has reached safely in seven consecutive starts and continues to offer well-balanced contributions at the plate, as evidenced by his four doubles, two triples, four home runs and six stolen bases overall across his first 121 big-league plate appearances.

Turner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.

The shortstop has hit safely in six straight games and eight of the last nine, slashing .333/.381/.590 over that stretch. On the season. Turner's now hitting .284 with nine homers, 28 RBI, 47 runs and 21 steals in 68 games.

Arcia went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in a loss to Oakland on Tuesday.

Arcia collected his third single in the eighth inning and came around to score Milwaukee's first run on a single off the bat of Yasmani Grandal. The three-hit game was his third of the season and snapped a cold spell in which he had collected only four hits over his previous 43 at-bats.

Rojas went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's 11-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

The infielder had only one homer through his first 97 games this season, but Rojas has now gone deep in three straight games, boosting his slash line on the year to .289/.344/.382. With the trade deadline looming, the 30-year-old has picked the right time to get hot if Miami is thinking about moving him.

Swanson (foot) went through pregame exercises on the field Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Swanson hasn't played since Tuesday due to a bruised foot. He showed no signs of the issue during Monday's workout. Both he and the Braves expect him back when first eligible Saturday.

Camargo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

The 25-year-old has started four straight games with Dansby Swanson (foot) sidelined, but Sunday's blast has been Camargo's only hit during that stretch. He's now slashing a tepid .226/.255/.362 on the season with four homers and 23 RBI in 184 plate appearances, and should return to a bench role once Swanson is healthy.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over San Diego.

Crawford had gone 0-for-9 over his previous three contests, but he brought that brief cold streak to an end with his fourth multi-hit effort this month. The veteran shortstop has been playing his best ball in July, slashing .274/.369/.493 with four homers and 17 RBI across 20 games.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Rojas kicked off the scoring in this one in the first inning with a solo homer to left field. Thought power isn't typically one of the 30-year-old's strengths, he's now left the yard in back-to-back contests, putting him at three home runs through 99 games this season.

Camargo will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the Phillies.

The Braves have settled on Camargo as the primary replacement at shortstop while Dansby Swanson (foot) is stuck on the injured list. With zero hits in 13 at-bats while starting the past three contests, Camargo has yet to take advantage of the opportunity afforded him. For his part, Swanson said he expects to be sidelined for close to the minimum 10 days, leaving Camargo with little time to get his bat going.
