Camargo is not in the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox.

Camargo has tallied more walks (19) than strikeouts (15) in his first 97 plate appearances this season, but his concerning .208 batting average is in part being dragged down by a .233 BABIP. His hard-hit percentage is also up nearly 20 points from last season. He'll be given the afternoon off with Charlie Culberson taking over at third base.

Anderson jammed his thumb a few days ago but has played through the injury, Phil Thompson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The injury hasn't been a factor at the plate, where Anderson has five hits, including three home runs, over the last two games. In the field, however, he was tagged with three errors (two on the same play) Saturday. "It's feeling better," said Anderson, whose right hand was wrapped. "It's getting better every day so I can't complain."

Baez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Giants.

Baez took Chris Stratton deep in the fourth inning for his 12th home run of the season. The effort snapped a three-game hitless streak for him, though he now has two home runs in his past five games. That's a positive sign for Baez, whose slugging percentage has dropped nearly 100 points from April to May.

Crawford went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer against the Cubs on Saturday.

Crawford took left-hander Jose Quintana deep in the fourth inning for his sixth home run of the season. He also tacked on a double against Justin Wilson, another lefty, to lead off the eighth. His success against southpaws continues a surprising season-long trend, as he entered Saturday's games slugging .484 against them in 62 at-bats this season.

Anderson went 2-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and three runs scored Saturday against the Tigers.

Anderson got a hold of his ninth and 10th home runs of the season, one off left-hander Francisco Liriano and the other off righty Louis Coleman. He now has three home runs over his past two games. While his batting average and on-base percentage leave something to be desired, Anderson has turned in strong power and speed production as he now has 10 home runs and 11 stolen bases on the season.

Swanson went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, two runs, two RBI and a strikeout in Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

He's hitting .231 in 26 at-bats since returning from a wrist injury on May 19. Swanson was hitting ninth in the American League ballpark, but could eventually hit his way into a more beneficial spot in the order if he can build on this performance. He is slashing .279/.318/.429 on the year.

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over the A's.

Ahmed's home run -- his seventh of the year -- came off starter Sean Manaea in the first inning. He later recorded a run-scoring single in the fourth, bringing his RBI total to 21 on the year. This was just the second multi-hit game in May for Ahmed, and his season slash line now sits at .212/.271/.410. The shortstop does have 16 extra-base hits on the year, but he's struggling to get on base with much frequency.

Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Boston's 6-2 win over Atlanta on Friday.

Bogaerts had cooled a bit following his absurdly hot start to the season, but some regression in his batting average was inevitable, as there was a point where the young shortstop was hitting over .400. His .285/.327/.533 slash line through 137 at-bats remains solid, and Bogaerts' seven homers are now just three shy of the 10 he put up over 571 at-bats last season.

Gordon (toe) fielded grounders and did pregame infield work prior to Friday's series opener against the Twins, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. "He's feeling a lot better," manager Scott Servais said. "He's going to swing the bat a little in the cage or maybe on the field, too. He wanted to take some ground balls right at him. He won't do any hard running or anything for a few days. But he's feeling better."

Gordon reportedly moved around well and remains on track to potentially come off the disabled list Thursday, the first day he's eligible to do so. The speedster has been wearing a walking boot over the last four days to keep pressure off his recovering right toe, and the strategy appears to have paid dividends judging by Gordon's activity level Friday.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Tigers.

It's his first homer in 13 games, giving Anderson eight on the season to go along with his .240/.301/.415 slash line. The 24-year-old has had a tough May, hitting only .167 (11-for-66) with 20 strikeouts coming into Friday, but this performance might be a sign he's about to break out of his slump.
