Wendle is not in the lineup versus Baltimore on Thursday.

Wendle will shift over to the bench following five straight starts, during which he's gone 7-for-17 (.412 average) with one home run and four RBI. Brandon Lowe will draw the assignment at the keystone in his absence.

Wendle went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Orioles on Wednesday.

Wendle now has a trio of multi-hit efforts in his last five games, which has led to an impressive .400 average thus far in August. Many of his hits over that stretch have been timely, as he's driven in four runs -- nearly half of his July total. Wendle's production Wednesday pushed his season line to a solid .292/.344/.413, figures that include 23 extra-base hits (13 doubles, four triples, six home runs).

Camargo is not in the lineup versus Washington on Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Camargo will receive a breather for the first time since the All-Star break as Charlie Culberson gets the nod at third base during the series finale. Dating back to the start of the second half, Camargo is hitting .277/.319/.523 with four home runs and 11 RBI in 17 games.

Lindor went 2-for-5 with a double, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

The All-Star shortstop ended the game with one swing of the bat, taking Trevor Hildenberger deep on the first pitch he saw for a walkoff shot in the ninth inning -- Lindor's 29th homer of the year and MLB-leading 67th extra-base hit.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.

The 25-year-old blasted his 15th homer of the year, sending a solo shot to right in the fifth inning. To go along with a .240/.288/.402 line, Anderson is tied for fifth in the American League with 22 steals, though he's only swiped one bag since July 8.

Arcia went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Padres.

Arcia deposited a solo shot to center in the fifth inning for his third homer of the season, giving the Brewers a six-run lead in the process. The 24-year-old has struggled mightily for much of the year -- he's hitting just .210 -- but he's gotten off to a strong start in August. In 13 at-bats in the month, Arcia is hitting .462 with a pair of extra-base hits and a stolen base.

Mondesi went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and two strikeouts in Wednesday's win over the Cubs.

Mondesi's seventh-inning blast broke the game open, turning a two-run lead into a 5-0 margin in the eventual 9-0 win. The 23-year-old's homer was his fourth of the season, but he's mired in a 5-for-31 (.161) stretch that's dropped his slash line on the year to .259/.271/.414.

Herrera is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Cubs.

He has been in the lineup for 10 of the Royals' last 11 games, hitting .310/.333/.452 with one home run and just four strikeouts in 42 at-bats over that stretch. Hunter Dozier will start at the hot corner and hit fourth.

Swanson is out of the starting lineup against Washington on Wednesday.

Swanson will receive a breather after going 0-for-7 with four strikeouts during Tuesday's twin bill. Johan Camargo will start at shortstop while Charlie Culberson draws the assignment at third base for Wednesday's tilt.

DeJong went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in a win over the Marlins on Tuesday.

It was a night of hard contact for DeJong, whose 370-foot shot with Jedd Gyorko aboard in the seventh erased a 2-0 deficit. DeJong has been in the midst of an atypical power drought over the last three months, a span that also includes a significant absence due to thumb surgery. Prior to Tuesday's round tripper, the 25-year-old had left the yard just once in the 31 games he'd played since May 12, but he certainly has the pop in his bat to make up ground in a hurry moving forward.
