Adames went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in the International League All-Stars' 6-4 loss to the Pacific Coast League All-Stars in Wednesday's Triple-A All-Star Game.

The 21-year-old enjoyed a strong finish to the first half, hitting .297 with two home runs and seven RBI in the last 10 games prior to the break. Adames has been progressively improving as he's adjusted to Triple-A pitching, and he's now slashing .277/.363/.431 with 18 doubles, five triples, seven homers and 40 RBI over his first 82 games for Durham.

Crawford went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, three RBI and two runs scored during Sunday's loss to Miami.

The Giants' struggles have taken a toll on Crawford's fantasy value, and while his eight homers and 45 RBI are solid marks for a shortstop, the rest of his numbers are underwhelming. He has just 28 runs and a .225/.266/.369 slash line, after all. Considering the holes in the San Francisco lineup, it's probably ill-advised to expect a rebound in the second half.

Camargo went 3-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk and two runs scored Sunday against the Nationals.

This was his first big-league home run, and he is awfully hot at the plate right now. Camargo is 10-for-16 with four doubles, two walks and two strikeouts over his last five games. It will be difficult for the Braves to give him everyday at-bats in the second half, but he should play enough to have deep-league appeal.

Mondesi exited Triple-A Omaha's Sunday game with an apparent injury, Storm Chasers radio broadcaster Donny Baarns reports.

Mondesi apparently tweaked something like attempting to get out of the way of an arrant pitch. The details of the injury have not yet been revealed. He'll be considered day-to-day.

Seager is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Manager Dave Roberts will grant his star shortstop a day of rest prior to the All-Star festivities. Enrique Hernandez will draw the start in Seager's absence, batting sixth.

DeJong went 4-for-4 with two RBI from a run-scoring double and a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Mets. He also hit two other two-baggers and scored twice.

The rookie's line is up to .306/.326/.581 following Saturday's effort, which also extended his hitting streak to five games. DeJong has also homered in back-to-back contests and is hitting .435 with seven extra-base hits over his first eight games of July.

Story is out of Sunday's lineup against the White Sox.

Pat Valaika will start at shortstop and hit sixth. Story has been a pretty big disappointment this season, and while he is hitting .265 over his last 25 games, his 36.5 percent strikeout rate and .386 slugging percentage over that stretch do not inspire confidence.

O'Malley (shoulder) went 2-for-2 with a triple, three walks and three runs as the designated hitter for Rookie-level Arizona on Saturday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

The utility man couldn't have asked for a better 2017 debut, and is likely in for at least several more games at the Rookie level before taking his rehab up the organizational ranks. O'Malley slashed .229/.299/.319 with two home runs and 17 RBI over 89 games with the Mariners last season in what was his first taste of extended big-league action. If he remains free of setbacks, O'Malley should be cleared for a return to the big-league club at some point next month, although how much playing time he'll see will largely depend on the club's injury situation at the time.

Anderson hit the game-winning home run Saturday against the Rockies, capping a 2-for-4 night.

He parked it over the center field fence at Coors Field for his second blast in as many games. Anderson was recently stuck in a 2-for-25 slide, but this park has a tendency to cure slumps. While it's promising to see his power return, it's best to put off trusting him fully in most mixed formats until he shows more consistency playing at sea level.

Swanson is not in the lineup Saturday against Washington, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

Swanson takes a seat for the second time in the past four games as Johan Camargo draws another start at shortstop. Manager Brian Snitker has said that he wants to give Camargo as many at-bats as possible while he continues to produce at the plate. Swanson will likely return to the lineup for the final game of the series Sunday.
