Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Drives in two Tuesday
Camargo went 1-for-3 with a two-run double in Tuesday's win over the Padres.
He's now slashing an impressive .353/.378/.500 over his last 10 games with seven RBI and six runs. If the Braves follow through on their plan to try Freddie Freeman at third base when he comes off the DL, Camargo could get bumped to the bench or even back to Triple-A Gwinnett, but at the moment he's doing everything he can to convince the club to leave him at the hot corner.

Nationals' Trea Turner: Swipes four bags Tuesday
Turner went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and four stolen bases in Tuesday's win over the Cubs.
Little more than a week after setting a new franchise record with four steals in a game, Turner does it again. The 23-year-old now has 11 swipes in his last 15 games, pushing him to the top of the MLB leaderboard with 32 on the year -- one more than Billy Hamilton.

Nick Ahmed SS | TEX
Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Diagnosed with small fracture
Manager Torey Lovullo said Ahmed has a small fracture in his right hand but will undergo further tests.
Ahmed left Tuesday's game after he was hit by a pitch, and subsequent evaluations confirmed the difficult scenario. A trip to the disabled list appears to be on the horizon for the backup shortstop, meaning Daniel Descalso will assume that duty behind regular starter Chris Owings. Expect Ahmed to return sometime after the All-Star break, depending on what trainers deem to be the best course of recovery.

Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Exits after being hit by pitch
Ahmed exited Tuesday's game against the Cardinals early after being hit by a pitch in the wrist/forearm area, Jack Magruder of FanRagSports.com reports.
Ahmed was 0-for-3 at the plate before being removed from the game in the bottom of the eighth inning after being pelted by a 99 mph fastball from Trevor Rosenthal. Ahmed will likely undergo testing Wednesday, at which point we'll receive word on the severity of his injury.

Orlando Arcia SS | MIN
Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Pops sixth homer Tuesday
Arcia went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Reds.
The homer was his sixth of the season, and Arcia is now hitting a sizzling .424 (14-for-33) over his last 10 games. The 22-year-old has made a number of highlight-reel plays on defense since making his major-league debut in 2016, and it looks like his bat is beginning to catch up to his glove.

Dodgers' Corey Seager: Available off bench Tuesday
Seager (hamstring) is available off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Angels, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Seager has now missed four consecutive games with a hamstring strain but is apparently healthy enough to jump into live action if necessary. Despite the fact that he's reportedly healthy enough to play, the Dodgers are not ruling out a trip to the 10-day disabled list. He'll remain day-to-day for the time being.

Dodgers' Corey Seager: Held out again Tuesday
Seager (hamstring) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Seager will be held out for a fourth straight game as he continues to work his way back from a hamstring strain. Manager Dave Roberts said Seager was at about 80 percent before Monday's contest, so he appears to be nearing a return to action. He'll remain day-to-day; Enrique Hernandez will continue to fill in for him at shortstop.
