Swanson went 3-for-4 with a RBI and a double in Thursday's 7-6 win over Miami.

The shortstop finally broke through offensively, recording just his second multi-hit game and raising his early season average from .156 to .204. The lineup in front of Swanson has done him no favors with Ozzie Albies, Freddie Freeman and Marcell Ozuna all struggling considerably to begin 2021. However, those established hitters will presumably break out of their slumps and give Swanson more advantageous opportunities at the plate. The 27-year-old is coming off a career-best 2020 campaign and is once again beginning to flash that offensive prowess from a year ago.

Camargo was recalled by Atlanta on Friday.

Camargo takes the roster spot that had belonged to reliever Tucker Davidson, who was optioned to the alternate site Thursday. Camargo spent a brief period on the roster earlier in the season, striking out twice and walking once in his three trips to the plate. He could spend much of the season bouncing on and off the fringe of Atlanta's roster unless injuries open up a permanent role.

Anderson went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Cleveland.

Anderson, who returned to the lineup after spending time on the injured list with a hamstring injury, greeted Cleveland's Aaron Civale with a first-pitch single. He came around to score on a two-out single by Yoan Moncada. Anderson is 5-for-20 with one home run and four runs scored through five games.

Ahmed went 0-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 11-6 win over the Nationals.

Ahmed knocked in a run on a fielder's choice, his second RBI of the season, and scored his first runs of the season. The stolen base was his first, but speed has not been a big element to his game. His eight thefts over 158 games in 2019 stand as his career benchmark. After starting the year on the injured list due to a knee injury, the shortstop hasn't done much since rejoining the Diamondbacks. Ahmed is 2-for-19 out of the gate.

Seager isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rockies, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Seager had recorded hits in each of the last four games, but he'll get a breather ahead of the team's weekend series against the Padres. Gavin Lux will shift to shortstop while Zach McKinstry starts at second base Thursday.

Story isn't starting Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Story will get his first day off this year after slashing .265/.308/.367 with four extra-base hits and four RBI across 13 games to begin the season. Alan Trejo will receive his first major-league start at shortstop Thursday, batting eighth.

Mondesi (oblique) has been doing more movement recently, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

Mondesi had been resting for several weeks after he was placed on the 10-day injured list to begin the regular season due to a right oblique strain. Manager Mike Matheny said Thursday that Mondesi has been making some progress, but the speedy shortstop still doesn't have a timetable to make his season debut.

Adames isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rangers, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Adames has gone hitless with three strikeouts in his last seven at-bats. Joey Wendle will start at shortstop Thursday while Mike Brosseau enters the lineup at third base.

Anderson (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list as expected ahead of Thursday's game against Cleveland.

Anderson strained his left hamstring in just the fourth game of the season. The injury wasn't a particularly bad one, however, so he's returning to action after a minimum-length stay on the injured list. Nick Williams was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Rojas is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Rojas is hitting .275 with zero home runs and three steals through 10 games. Jazz Chisholm will start at shortstop while Jon Berti gets the start at the keystone.
