D'Arnaud started at third base and went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's victory over the Mariners.

D'Arnaud has started six of the 11 games since his callup June 8, batting .300 (9-for-30) with a pair of homers over that span. The utility infielder has been seeing semi-regular starts due to the slew of lefties the Giants have faced recently, but that surge in playing time is about to come to a close with Evan Longoria (hand) nearing a return.

Baez has a bruise above his knee but hopes to play against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Baez sustained the bruise when he was slid into second base during the seventh inning. The injury doesn't appear overly serious, but it wouldn't be surprising if the 25-year-old was held out of the lineup Wednesday to help mitigate any residual soreness.

Diaz was unavailable Tuesday with a left thumb injury and is considered day-to-day, the Associated Press reports.

It was a bit odd that Diaz had missed two straight games, as he is hitting .289/.304/.489 with two home runs in 15 games (45 at-bats) this month, so the fact he is dinged up clears things up. Lourdes Gurriel is the hottest hitter on the team, so when Diaz is ready to return, he will likely compete primarily with Devon Travis and Yangervis Solarte for at-bats in the short term.

Camargo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Marlins.

Camargo continued his post-All-Star break hot streak and is now 8-for-18 with a home run, a double and four RBI over the last five games. The 24-year-old has a .261/.357/.441 slash line with 10 home runs in 245 at-bats this season.

Correa (back) hit off a tee Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

He had begun running and playing catch, and did some more of both Tuesday, but this marks the first time he has swung a bat recently. A report from Monday stated that Correa was at least two weeks away from coming off the disabled list. This means he could return around mid-August.

Mondesi is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Tigers, Maria Torres of The Kansas City Star reports.

He was reinstated from the family medical emergency list earlier in the day after missing four games, but the Royals may be looking to ease him back into action. Alcides Escobar is starting at shortstop and hitting ninth.

Turner is benched for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

As expected, Turner will be forced to sit out after refusing to run to first base following a failed bunt attempt Monday. There haven't been any suggestions that Turner will be held out for more than one game, so expect him back in the lineup Wednesday.

Diaz is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Twins, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

It certainly seems that Lourdes Gurriel, who was activated from the disabled list Sunday and has started the last three games, has passed Diaz on the organizational depth chart at shortstop. Diaz is hitting .289/.304/.489 with two home runs in 15 games (45 at-bats) this month, so the Jays should still find some playing time for him, but don't expect him to play every day going forward.

Mondesi was reinstated from the family medical emergency list prior to Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

This was an anticipated move for Mondesi, who was away from the team for four games to deal with some family issues. He is hitting .297/.316/.514 with two home runs and two steals (on four attempts) in 10 games (37 at-bats) in July. Look for him to be in the lineup most days over the rest of the season, as he is one of the few building blocks on the big-league roster.

Adames went 1-for-4 with a run in a win over the Yankees on Monday.

Adames was recalled from Triple-A Durham prior to Sunday's series finale against the Marlins, going 0-for-3 with a walk in that contest. The 22-year-old is currently filling in at his customary shortstop spot with Adeiny Hechavarria nursing an oblique injury, but he also slotted in at second base for multiple games in his first stint with the Rays this season when manager Kevin Cash opted to get both him and Hechavarria in the lineup.
