Arcia was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on Friday.

Arcia has been the Brewers' starting shortstop since the start of the 2017 season, but will head to Triple-A after slashing .194/.233/.273 in 44 games this season. The demotion is fairly surprising for Milwaukee's former top prospect even given his struggles at the plate, but the team evidently feels a trip to the minors is necessary to help the 23-year-old calibrate his swing. The team recalled Eric Sogard to bolster their infield depth, with Tyler Saladino and Hernan Perez also likely to help fill the void at shortstop.

Wendle was reinstated from the paternity list Thursday.

The Rays optioned top prospect Willy Adames to clear a roster spot for Wendle after his three-game spell on the paternity list. Wendle has been a solid contributor to this point, slashing .288/.336/.384 while platooning at second base. He's now eligible to return to the lineup as soon as Friday's game against the Orioles.

Adames was optioned to Triple-A Durham after Thursday's game against the Red Sox.

With Joey Wendle coming off the paternity list, the Rays are following through on their promise to make Adames' first big league stint a short one. Adames, who went 2-for-12 with a home run and six strikeouts over his three games, will head back to Triple-A for the time being. He figures to make a return to the majors at some point this summer, but it's unclear when exactly the Rays will be ready to give Adames an everyday role.

Wendle (personal) will be activated from the paternity list Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wendle has been away from the team since Tuesday following the birth of his baby, but he's expected to rejoin the Rays ahead of Friday's series opener against the Orioles. Once active, he'll likely settle back into the strong side of a platoon at second base. His return will send top prospect Willy Adames back to the minors.

Camargo went 1-for-2 with a double and two walks in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Phillies.

He's only hitting .214 on the season, but Camargo is showing vastly improved plate discipline compared to his performance last year as a rookie -- he's drawn eight walks in his last seven games against only two strikeouts, boosting his OBP to .382. Ryan Flaherty remains on hand to help out at the hot corner, but if Camargo can get some hits to start falling in along with the walks, he could seize the full-time role at third base for the Braves.

Correa went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a strikeout in Wednesday's win over the Giants.

Correa entered Wednesday's tilt in an 0-for-9, four-strikeout mini slump, but he broke out of it with his first multi-hit effort in nearly three weeks. The 23-year-old is still hitting just .188 in May and as a result boasts a .273/.363/.483 slash line which is down from last year's numbers in all three categories.

Arcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's matchup against Arizona.

Arcia will get the day off as he's struggling to do much of anything at the dish. He's in the midst of a 1-for-17 stretch with six strikeouts and will look to regroup before likely returning to the starting lineup Thursday. Tyler Saladino gets the nod in his place and will bat seventh.

Crawford went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

Crawford hit an opposite-field two-run homer -- his fifth of the year -- off starter Gerrit Cole in the fifth. Crawford has extended his hitting streak to nine games, and has brought his slash line to .309/.343/.473. The shortstop has 16 extra-base hits on the year and currently sports a .377 BABIP. Crawford is a career .255 hitter so the average figures to come down, but right now he's on an impressive run.

Adrianza went 2-for-2 with a pair of doubles, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Tigers.

The light-hitting Adrianza hasn't done much at the plate this season, but he logged his first multi-hit game of the year and now has three doubles over the past two games. Despite sporting a slash line of just .227/.296/.307, Adrianza has been seeing fairly regular at-bats, although that could change soon with Miguel Sano (hamstring) set to return Friday.

Manager Scott Servais said he doesn't expect Gordon (toe) to miss much more than 10 days, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Servais added that the fracture in Gordon's toe is a minor one, which make sense given he was able to swipe a bag and score the winning run in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Tigers after suffering the injury. He'll get some time off to let the issue heal, but early indications are that the speedster won't require a lengthy stay on the shelf. Gordon was hitting a solid .304/.330/.386 with 16 stolen bases in 45 games prior to landing on the DL. Look for Gordon Beckham to fill in at second base until Gordon is healthy.
