The Braves now report that Camargo was diagnosed with a right knee bone bruise Tuesday. He will be placed on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday.

Camargo was fortunate to avoid any ligament damage in his knee, but he will still require a trip to the disabled list to allow himself ample time to heal. A roster replacement hasn't been announced yet, though Dansby Swanson is the most likely candidate to join the big-league club while Camargo is sidelined. Initial estimates suggest that the shortstop will be out for a couple of weeks.

Camargo was diagnosed with a hyperextended right knee Tuesday.

Camargo suffered the knee injury after coming down awkwardly while hopping over the first base line as he entered the field to start the game. He will undergo an MRI in the coming hours which will provide more details with regards to the severity of the injury. David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Dansby Swanson was removed from his game with Triple-A Gwinnett, so it appears that he could be recalled if Camargo ends up on the DL.

Camargo was removed from Tuesday's game against the Phillies with an apparent knee injury, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

In what was a bit of a freak injury, Camargo appeared to injure his right knee while hopping over the first base line while heading on to the field prior to the top of the first inning. He was helped off the diamond by team trainers and was immediately replaced by Jace Peterson at shortstop.

DeJong went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 11-3 win over the Royals.

DeJong put a capper on the Cardinals' second consecutive scoring barrage with a 384-foot shot to left with a man on in the ninth. The rookie has hits in four straight -- including a pair of homers and four RBI -- in his last four contests, and he's blasted 10 of his 16 round trippers over the last calendar month.

Baez went 1-for-4 with a two-run, inside-the-park home run during Monday's win over San Francisco.

Baez hit two balls that likely would have been homers in most parks, and he also struck out twice swinging at pitches that were in the opposite batter's box. It's frustrating to watch, but his fantasy numbers are trending in the right direction. Despite his all-or-nothing approach, Baez sports a serviceable .268/.311/.493 slash line with 16 homers, 48 RBI, five stolen bases and 44 runs.

Turner (wrist) may be cleared to resume hitting in the coming days as he continues to progress through his rehab, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

The Nationals will likely ease Turner into hitting activities slowly, with the 24-year-old presumably getting some work in with a tee and in soft toss before progressing to batting practice. The nature of Turner's injury will leave some question about his ability to drive the ball with authority once he eventually comes off the disabled list, but even if he's slow to regain power, he's still likely to offer enough in terms of steals and runs to bring value to fantasy owners.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas is 0-for-12 over his last three contests, so he'll head to the bench for a breather. Mike Aviles is starting at shortstop in his stead.

DeJong went 3-for-5 with a run in Sunday's 13-4 win over the Reds.

The rookie opened August by going 0-for-9 over his first two games, but he's put that mini slump firmly in the rearview mirror. DeJong punished Reds pitching over the three-game series, going 6-for-14 with a home run, two RBI and two runs. Factoring in Sunday's multi-hit effort -- his second in the last three contests -- DeJong's season line is up to a solid .284/.308/.550, although his 31.3 percent strikeout rate has plenty of room for improvement.

Ahmed (hand) has yet to do any hitting activity and remains limited to conditioning work, Alex Simon of MLB.com reports.

Ahmed has worked on strengthening his grip again after undergoing surgery to repair his fractured right hand back in June, but he's still dealing with too much discomfort to take hacks at the plate. The shortstop isn't eligible to return from the 60-day disabled list until Aug. 28, so the lack of progress in the rehab process up to this point shouldn't be viewed as a major concern just yet. Ahmed could see semi-regular starts in the middle infield once he rejoins the big club.

Nelson, 19, is hitting .361 with nine RBI over his last 10 games for Low-A Greensboro.

A 15th-round pick last season, Nelson is raking during his first taste of full-season ball. He is batting .311/.356/.458 through 91 games. Nelson does not have big power or speed, and he could stand to be a bit more patient at the dish. Still, it is difficult to argue with his average, and he could move quickly up the ranks for the Marlins due to their lack of depth in their farm system.
