Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to serve as the 29th man in Friday's nightcap against the Padres.

Camargo has been in the minors since mid-July, but he'll rejoin the major-league roster to serve as depth in the second game of Friday's twin bill. He's appeared in just 15 big-league games this year and has gone 0-for-16 with a run, two walks and six strikeouts.

Franco went 1-for-4 with a double and a walk in Friday's 8-0 victory over Miami.

Making his first appearance since Sep. 10, Franco extended his on-base streak to 40 games after a sixth-inning walk. He then knocked a double in the eighth. The star rookie is hitting .323 during his on-base streak and now owns an .812 OPS on the year.

Smith was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

Smith was recalled by Toronto on Wednesday, but he didn't record any plate appearances during his time on the major-league roster. He'll head back to Buffalo after Santiago Espinal (hip) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Turner went 3-for-4 with a walk, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in a 7-5 victory versus the Rockies on Thursday.

Turner singled three times in the contest, the most important of which was a two-out base knock in the top of the ninth inning that plated the tying run. The speedy infielder has slashed .375/.457/.475 with a home run, four RBI, seven runs and five stolen bases during his current 10-game hitting streak. On the season, he ranks first in the National League with 31 steals and second with a .321 batting average.

Ahmed (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

This marks seven consecutive omissions from the lineup as Ahmed battles right shoulder soreness. The team must expect him back in action shortly, seeing as though they haven't placed him on the injured list. Josh Rojas is leading off as the shortstop Friday.

Franco (hamstring) was reinstated off the 10-day injured list Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Franco's strained right hamstring will only wind up keeping him out for two weeks. He's ready to go after just a single rehab game and will look to recapture the excellent form he was in prior to the injury, as he slashed .336/.397/.555 with a miniscule 6.6 percent strikeout rate over his last 35 games. Taylor Walls was optioned to clear a spot on the roster.

Preciado concluded the rookie-level Arizona Complex League season with a .333/.383/.511 slash line, three homers, seven steals, 25 RBI and 28 runs in 34 games.

That's quite the productive campaign, especially considering that Preciado only turned 18 in May. He couldn't quite keep up the blistering pace he started on, but he still got wood on the ball with an amazing level of consistency -- he only went hitless eight times in those 34 contests. With his 6-foot-4 frame, more power production will come, though his speed may fade as he continues developing physically. Preciado will likely start 2022 in Low-A, and if he can sustain this sort of productivity, he could find himself in the top-10 prospect conversation before too long. He's still several years off from the majors, though.

Franco (hamstring) went 0-for-1 with two walks and a run in Triple-A Durham's win over Gwinnett on Thursday.

Franco was limited to a three-inning simulated game Wednesday after the Bulls' contest against the Stripers was rained out, and he was able to run the bases and take groundballs in each frame. He then started and played the full game at shortstop in Game 1 of Thursday's twin bill, leaving him poised for a likely activation from the injured list Friday.

Seager went 4-for-5 with two RBI on Thursday against the Rockies.

Seager delivered a two-run single in the second inning to put the Dodgers up 3-0. He has collected at least one hit in eight of his last 10 starts, four of which have been multi-hit efforts. He's also racked up two home runs, seven RBI and five runs scored in that span. For the season, Seager is now hitting .289/.381/.456 across 370 plate appearances.

Anderson isn't starting the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against Cleveland.

Anderson was dominant in Thursday's matinee, as he went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI. Leury Garcia will take his place at shortstop while batting leadoff.
