Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Out with shin fracture
Camargo was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a fractured right shin.
The team downplayed the injury after Camargo exited Wednesday's contest when he fouled a ball off himself, but he now looks to be facing an extended absence. The Braves expect him back in around three weeks but have yet to rule him out for the rest of the season, per Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, though it's difficult to imagine he'll have enough time to get back up to speed to make the postseason roster for the first round.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Joins exclusive club
Bogaerts went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jays.
The double was Bogaerts' 50th, which grants him membership to an exclusive club. He becomes only the second shortstop in MLB history, along with Alex Rodriguez, to reach 30 home runs and 50 doubles in a single season. David Ortiz is the only other hitter in Red Sox history to achieve that feat.

It's unclear as to when Adrianza suffered the injury, but he'll likely miss some time following this diagnosis. Ronald Torreyes replaced Adrianza at shortstop.

Crawford is not in the lineup Thursday against the Reds, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Astros' Carlos Correa: Ready for rehab
Correa (back) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.
Correa will stick with the Express during their playoff run; if the team gets eliminated, the shortstop will continue rehabbing with High-A Fayetteville or play in simulated games to get back up to speed. His return date remains up in the air.

Orlando Arcia SS | MIN
Brewers' Orlando Arcia: Hitting eighth in return
Arcia was reinstated from the paternity list prior to Thursday's game against the Marlins. He is starting at shortstop and batting eighth.
As expected, he is back in the fold after missing three games following the birth of his twin daughters. Arcia should get the bulk of the starts at shortstop down the stretch, but he will likely sit occasionally in favor of Hernan Perez.
