Baez is starting at third base and batting third in Sunday's game against the Mets.

Baez didn't start Saturday, though he did blast a pinch-hit two-run home run in the 14th inning, giving him 14 long balls for the season. The 25-year-old will be making just his fourth appearance of the season at third base as Kris Bryant takes a seat for the series finale.

Story went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 12-4 loss to the Dodgers.

The shortstop has put together a solid homestand, posting a .281/.361/.469 slash line over his last eight games with a homer, four RBI, four runs and a 4:6 BB:K. Story will need to continue making hay when he's at Coors Field, however, as his home-road splits have become particularly tilted in 2018: He carries a 1.162 OPS through 91 at-bats at home -- but only a .552 mark away from the Rockies' extremely friendly confines.

Camargo went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Saturday's loss to the Nationals.

Camargo's blast in the bottom of the fifth inning put the Braves up 3-2, though they would ultimately end up losing in 14 innings. It was his third home run in the last five games, and he's now hit safely in eight of his last 10 contests to bring his slash line to .221/.362/.433 on the year.

Sardinas (back) sustained an ankle injury during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Sardinas, who has been on the disabled list since the end of April with the back injury, began his rehab stint last week only to suffer the ankle injury. The severity of the ankle issue and whether the back injury still a problem remains unclear, and the 25-year-old currently has no timetable for his return.

Wendle is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Southpaw Marco Gonzales will take the hill for the Mariners, as the Rays responded with an all-right-handed batting lineup. Christian Arroyo will start at second base and bat eighth for Tampa Bay.

Urena required three stitches on his right hand after being spiked on a slide Friday, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

Urena was placed on the minor-league disabled list and is expected to miss little more than the seven-day minimum with the laceration. The 22-year-old has a .208/.241/.299 slash line in 77 at-bats with Triple-A Buffalo this season and was 5-for-18 with a home run in his brief stint in the majors.

Herrera was claimed off waivers by the Royals on Saturday.

He was designated for assignment by the Reds, and the Royals decided he was worthy of a spot on their 40-man roster. Herrera goes from an organization with a lot of outfield depth to one with very little outfield depth, so this is a good move for him. He is hitting .267/.320/.500 with three home runs and two steals in 98 Triple-A plate appearances this season.

Baez is out of Saturday's lineup against the Mets.

He has been swinging a hot bat (.310/.341/.595 with three home runs over his last 42 at-bats), but will make way for Ben Zobrist at the keystone against right-handed ace Jacob deGrom.

Sardinas (back) has made two rehab appearances at Triple-A Norfolk, going 0-for-6 at the dish during those contests.

The infielder has been sidelined since late April with a sore back, so he may need to put in a few more games in the minors before the Orioles sign off on his return from the disabled list. Sardinas is expected to serve as a utility man for Baltimore once activated.

Anderson went 1-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 8-3 win over the Brewers.

Anderson lashed a two-run triple in the sixth inning to break a tie game. It was the fourth straight game with a hit for Anderson, who has batted .344 (11-for-32) with seven extra-base hits (four home runs), 11 RBI and nine runs scored over the last nine games since his season average bottomed out at .230. There was a report earlier in the week about a thumb injury, but that's had more effect on him as a fielder than as a hitter.
