Baez has a bruise above his knee but hopes to play against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Baez sustained the bruise when he was slid into second base during the seventh inning. The injury doesn't appear overly serious, but it wouldn't be surprising if the 25-year-old was held out of the lineup Wednesday to help mitigate any residual soreness.

Camargo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Marlins.

Camargo continued his post-All-Star break hot streak and is now 8-for-18 with a home run, a double and four RBI over the last five games. The 24-year-old has a .261/.357/.441 slash line with 10 home runs in 245 at-bats this season.

Turner is benched for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

As expected, Turner will be forced to sit out after refusing to run to first base following a failed bunt attempt Monday. There haven't been any suggestions that Turner will be held out for more than one game, so expect him back in the lineup Wednesday.

Rojas (back) is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Braves, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas will head to the bench after suffering from back spasms during Monday's game, ending a streak of three straight starts for the infielder. The Marlins seem to be viewing Rojas as day-to-day, but it's unclear if he'll be available off the bench Tuesday.

Turner will likely be benched for Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

Turner attempted to bunt for a base hit during Monday's tilt, and after a poorly executed attempt, he refused to run to first base as he started launching his equipment onto the field prior to being ruled out. After the game, manager Dave Martinez stated, "There's a good chance he won't play tomorrow." Expect Wilmer Difo to get the nod at shortstop with Turner likely to ride the pine Tuesday due to a lack of hustle.

Rojas was removed from Monday's tilt against Atlanta due to back spasms, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

It's currently unknown if Rojas will be healthy enough to play Tuesday, although he'll likely be reevaluated prior to the tilt. Rojas went 1-for-2 with a walk prior to leaving the ballgame.

Ahmed is not in the lineup Monday against the Cubs.

Ahmed had a three-RBI day Sunday in Colorado but won't get the chance to build on that performance right away. Ketel Marte will slide over to shortstop, with Daniel Desclaso starting at second base.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

Rojas drove in a pair of runs in the second inning as the Marlins got out to an early lead only to collapse in the bottom of the ninth. He went 3-for-8 with a double and three RBI during Miami's first series out of the All-Star break. Rojas has pieced together an uninspiring .257/.311/.352 batting line through 98 games this season.

Ahmed went 2-for-3 with a triple, walk and three RBI in the Diamondbacks' 6-1 win over the Rockies on Sunday.

Ahmed's two-run triple in the fourth inning was his 37th extra-base hit of the season, placing him sixth in the majors among all qualifying shortstops. The 28-year-old's uptick in power production has increased his relevance in deeper mixed leagues, but a .231 batting average remains the chief reason why he's not a must-start option in shallower settings.

DeJong went 0-for-4 in the first game but rebounded to go 2-for-4 with two RBI in the second contest of Saturday's doubleheader split with the Cubs.

DeJong put his forgettable first effort behind him to make two vital offensive plays in the second: a sacrifice fly in the first inning and a go-ahead, run-scoring double in the ninth. The infielder has a hit in 10 of his 12 games since returning from the disabled list but has struggled to follow up on his breakout 2017 campaign, slashing just .258/.336/.434 with eight homers and 21 RBI in 223 plate appearances.
