  • Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD

    Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Out for Game 1

    Rojas is not in the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Braves, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

    Rojas is riding a five-game hitting streak. He could get a chance to extend that in the evening portion of Monday's doubleheader, but likely not in the afternoon game, as J.T. Riddle will get the start at shortstop.

  • Dansby Swanson SS | CHC

    Braves' Dansby Swanson: Rested for afternoon game

    Swanson is not in the lineup for the afternoon portion of Monday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

    Swanson is hitting just 4-for-29 in the month of August. Charlie Culberson will get the call at shortstop in his place.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    Cardinals' Paul DeJong: Launches two-run homer

    DeJong went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the 8-2 win over Kansas City on Sunday.

    DeJong has three homers in his last five games, bringing him to 12 on the season alongside his 35 RBI. He owns a disappointing .760 OPS in just 305 plate appearances this season after registering a .857 number in his rookie campaign last year.

  • Giants' Chase d'Arnaud: Seems healthy, but not in Sunday's lineup

    d'Arnaud (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    A knee bruise had been affecting d'Arnaud since Tuesday, but he was used as a defensive replacement for the ninth inning in Friday's game, so he appears to be healthy. Evan Longoria and Joe Panik will start at third and second base Sunday, respectively.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    Cardinals' Paul DeJong: Smacks 11th homer in win

    DeJong went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Royals on Friday.

    DeJong's bat is starting to pick up a little steam, with Friday serving as the eighth straight game in which he's reached safely. The shortstop could also be rediscovering his power stroke after an extended drought, as he's homered in two of his last three games. Factoring in Friday's production, he's racked up five RBI over his last three contests, and his overall August total of six leaves him just one short of the amount he compiled during all of July.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Four hits in win over Brewers

    Camargo went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 10-1 win over the Brewers.

    The 24-year-old continues to impress at the plate, and Camargo is now slashing .310/.347/.563 with four homers, 12 runs and 13 RBI in 19 games since the All-Star break. Even in shallow fantasy formats, his current form should earn him a consistent spot in the lineup.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Phillies' J.P. Crawford: Reinstated from disabled list

    Crawford (hand) was activated from the 10-day DL on Friday.

    Crawford will be available for this weekend's three-game set in San Diego after spending the past seven weeks on the shelf with a fractured left hand. With the addition of Asdrubal Cabrera near the trade deadline, it remains to be seen what kind of role Crawford will have, though it's likely that he will be utilized as a reserve infielder moving forward. During 34 games this year, he's hit just .194/.312/.333 with two home runs, eight RBI and two stolen bases.

  • Giants' Chase d'Arnaud: Held out Thursday

    D'Arnaud (knee) is not in Thursday's starting nine against the Pirates.

    D'Arnaud has been hampered by a knee bruise suffered Tuesday against Houston after fouling a ball off his knee. Given the nature of the injury, he isn't expected to remain out for long, and he should slot into the lineup sometime over the weekend either at second or third base.

  • Paul DeJong SS | DET

    Cardinals' Paul DeJong: Drives in a pair during win

    DeJong went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in a win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

    DeJong enjoyed his time against Marlins pitching over the last three games, going 4-for-11 with two doubles, a home run, four RBI and two runs during the three-game set. The shortstop is looking to get his bat back on track after a .217 tally in July dropped his season average 17 points to .244.

  • Braves' Johan Camargo: Out of Thursday's lineup

    Camargo is not in the lineup versus Washington on Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Camargo will receive a breather for the first time since the All-Star break as Charlie Culberson gets the nod at third base during the series finale. Dating back to the start of the second half, Camargo is hitting .277/.319/.523 with four home runs and 11 RBI in 17 games.
