The Phillies transferred Camargo's (knee) rehab assignment Tuesday from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to Double-A Reading.

The move down a level is likely just a scheduling-related matter, as Camargo doesn't appear to be dealing with any sort of setback to his right knee since beginning his rehab assignment last weekend. Over his three-game stay at Lehigh Valley, Camargo went 2-for-10 with a double and two walks. He could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list by the weekend.

DeJong (hand) will be available Tuesday for Triple-A Memphis' game against Nashville, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Though he was never placed on Memphis' 7-day injured list, DeJong hasn't played since June 29 after he was struck on the hand by a pitch. Since his demotion to the minors back on May 10, DeJong is slashing .219/.268/.475 over 179 plate appearances for Memphis. He's been showcasing a good deal of power in the minors, but DeJong doesn't appear primed for a call-up anytime soon.

Franco announced Tuesday via his personal Instagram account that he had successful surgery on his right wrist, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Franco is expected to require 5-to-8 weeks of recovery time after getting the procedure to repair a fractured hamate bone. Taylor Walls is expected to serve as the Rays' everyday shortstop while Franco is on the 10-day injured list.

Castillo went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Monday against the Marlins.

Castillo has started six consecutive games, though he has been aided by the fact that the Pirates have faced four lefties in that span. He's taken advantage of the opportunity, maintaining a .300 average with two homers, five RBI and three runs scored across his last 22 plate appearances. Despite his ability to play multiple positions, Castillo may find playing time harder to come by in the near future with Ben Gamel, Jake Marisnick and Kevin Newman all back in the mix.

Bogaerts went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 10-5 loss to the Rays.

The shortstop did a little bit of everything, and his RBI single in the fifth inning tied the game at 5-5 before the Boston bullpen fell apart. Bogaerts has multiple hits in three straight games to snap a slump that had seen him hit just .158 (9-for-57) over his prior 16 contests, and on the season he's slashing .315/.393/.455 with seven homers, four steals, 36 RBI and 51 runs through 83 games.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Monday against the Guardians.

Anderson extended his hitting streak to a modest four games with a single in the third inning. He then swiped second base -- his 11th of the season -- and came around to score on a three-run home run by Yoan Moncada. Anderson has hit only .237 across 18 games since returning from a groin injury June 20, though he still has 13 runs scored and three stolen bases in that span.

Abrams went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 6-5 win over the Rockies.

Abrams' eighth-inning blast gave the Padres just enough offense to get the win. He's started each of the last two games at shortstop with Ha-Seong Kim (thumb) hurt, though Kim was able to appear as a defensive replacement Monday and may not be out much longer. Abrams is 7-for-20 (.350) in July, and he's up to a .234/.281/.333 slash line with two homers, 11 RBI, 15 runs scored and a stolen base through 123 plate appearances overall.

Smith went 1-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run and three RBI in Monday's 10-8 win over the Athletics.

The 24-year-old showed off his speed for his first big-league homer, as his sixth-inning hit to center field ducked under Ramon Laureano's glove and rolled to the warning track. Smith still has yet to display over-the-fence power -- he had 13 long balls in 78 minor-league games last season, so it's not a huge element of his performance. The rookie has a .238/.375/.317 slash line with eight RBI, 10 runs scored, two stolen bases and two doubles through 81 plate appearances in 21 contests.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 10-8 win over the Athletics.

Seager displayed his power all weekend and carried it over to Monday. This was his fourth straight game with a homer, and he's gotten on base multiple times in six of his last seven games. The shortstop's power binge has earned him his third career 20-homer season, and he's added 46 RBI, 44 runs scored, three stolen bases and a .245/.319/.463 slash line through 82 contests.

Witt went 4-for-5 with a double, three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in a 7-3 win over the Tigers in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader.

After going 2-for-4 with two steals in the matinee, Witt had plenty left in the tank for the nightcap. Three of his four hits produced a run in the second game, and he added his 16th steal of the year in the contest. The rookie has put together a seven-game hitting streak, going 13-for-30 (.433) with four multi-hit efforts in that span. The surge has him up to a .252/.297/.453 slash line with 12 home runs, 45 RBI, 45 runs scored, 18 doubles and five triples through 343 plate appearances.
