Story (finger) remains on the bench Saturday against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Story hasn't played since being forced to leave Tuesday's game against the Rays after a pitch hit his hand. Previous reports indicated that there was no guarantee the second baseman would return prior to the All-Star break, so it's possible he remains out Sunday as well. Jeter Downs will make another start at the keystone Saturday.

Crawford (finger) is starting Saturday against the Rangers.

Crawford missed the last two games due to a bruised right index finger but is starting at shortstop and batting sixth Saturday. Over his last five matchups, he's hit .250 with a double, five runs, an RBI and two walks.

Wendle isn't starting Saturday against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Wendle is getting a breather after he went 4-for-10 with two doubles, an RBI, a walk and two strikeouts over the last three games. Luke Williams will start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Camargo (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Camargo was on the injured list since late June but began a rehab assignment July 8. He hit .360 with two doubles, six runs and three RBI over seven games between Triple-A Lehigh Valley and Double-A Reading and will be available for the Phillies' final two games ahead of the All-Star break.

Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-4 win over the Nationals.

With southpaw Patrick Corbin on the mound for the Nats, Arcia got the start at second base while hitting eighth and took advantage of the matchup. The 27-year-old infielder is slashing .256/.329/.388 with four homers, 13 runs and 18 RBI in 146 plate appearances, and for now he'll handle the short side of a platoon alongside Robinson Cano until Ozzie Albies (foot) is ready to return.

Fletcher (hip) has gone 1-for-8 with a run scored through three rehab games with Triple-A Salt Lake.

Fletcher kicked off the rehab assignment Tuesday, and he's had an uneventful three games thus far. The good news is that the utility man, who underwent surgery to repair the adductor muscles in both legs May 10, was able to play three straight days without suffering any setbacks, starting twice at second base and once as the designated hitter. Fletcher is expected to be ready to return to the Angels on July 28.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against the Twins.

Anderson took Emilio Pagan yard in the fourth inning to record his sixth homer of the season. Entering the game, Anderson had failed to homer in 27 consecutive starts and has just a .109 ISO on the season. Despite the lack of power, Anderson has found other ways to be productive, particularly by hitting .313, scoring 42 runs and swiping 11 bags across 282 plate appearances for the campaign.

Chang went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 win against the Orioles.

Chang laced two RBI doubles in Friday's victory, one in the fourth inning and another in the sixth. In six appearances since being claimed off waivers by the Rays, the 26-year-old utility man has gone 6-for-16 (.375) with three RBI and six strikeouts. Through 75 plate appearances with Tampa Bay, Cleveland and Pittsburgh this season, Chang is slashing .191/.267/.279.

Crawford (finger) remains sidelined Friday against the Rangers, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Crawford was scratched Thursday due to a bruised right index finger and will sit for at least one more game. He hopes to return over the weekend, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports, but with just two days remaining before the All-Star break, it's possible he remains out of the lineup in order to give his finger a full week to heal. Dylan Moore starts at shortstop again Friday.

Smith will sit for the second straight game Friday against Seattle.

Smith has started just twice against a lefty this season, so it's no surprise to see him on the bench against a second consecutive lefty in Robbie Ray here. Charlie Culberson will get the start at third base.
