Bogaerts (groin) is starting at shortstop and batting third Tuesday against the Rangers, Tim Britton of The Providence Journal reports.

Bogaerts is ready to return to action after missing a pair of games with a tight groin. The 24-year-old, who is slashing .314/.366/.455 with five homers and nine stolen bases in 77 games this season, will face Yu Darvish in his return to the starting lineup.

Camargo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

As expected, Camargo will retreat to the bench with Freddie Freeman (wrist) back from the disabled list and taking over starting duties at third base. Camargo won't carry much, if any, fantasy value moving forward, and he could ultimately end up back at Triple-A if the Braves want him to see more regular at-bats.

Jackson signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Monday, MLB.com reports.

Jackson has bounced around a lot already in 2017, having spent time in the Marlins and Mariners organizations along with a stint in independent ball with the Sugar Land Skeeters. The Nationals present an intriguing landing spot for the well-traveled infielder with Trea Turner (wrist) set to miss extended time, but unless further injuries strike the Washington infield, Jackson will function as little more than organizational depth.

D'Arnaud was designated for assignment by the Padres on Tuesday.

The Padres needed to clear room on the roster for Tuesday's starter, Trevor Cahill, and d'Arnaud was ultimately the roster casualty. The 30-year-old compiled a .143/.176/.245 triple slash in 22 games for the Padres, so it wasn't too difficult of a decision. He could draw interest on waivers given his previous major-league experience coupled with his ability to play multiple positions.

Tejada is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

Relative to the norm, Tejada has heated up at the plate with five hits over the last five games, which is likely good enough to secure him the primary starting gig at shortstop for now. However, he'll still likely give way to Paul Janish a couple times each week, with Tuesday's game representing one of those occasions.

Baez is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rays.

Baez had collected back-to-back starts at the keystone, but will take a seat despite collecting a three-hit performance in his last outing. The return of Jason Heyward to the lineup will send utility man Ben Zobrist back to the infield, representing another body Baez will have to compete with for starts. Manager Joe Maddon will surely find creative ways to give Baez regular playing time, however, as he's solid defensively and currently owns a .756 OPS -- a figure that would be the best mark of his career if it holds up.

Adames, who hit his sixth home run as part of a 2-for-4 effort for Triple-A Durham on Monday, is now hitting .364 over his last 30 games, Mike Rosenbaum of MLB.com reports.

The 21-year-old shortstop entered June with a sluggish .230/.309/.344 line but his subsequent offensive outburst, which includes 13 extra-base hits in his last 30 games, has his average up to .280. Adames has five multi-hit efforts in the last 10 games, although his 24 percent strikeout rate on the season has room for improvement. Adames' overall progress is encouraging, however, as he certainly seems to be hitting his stride in what is his first exposure to Triple-A arms. Notably, the shortstop position at the big-league level remains in flux at the moment, as Matt Duffy's heel issues continue to keep his long-term outlook murky.

Adrianza (abdomen) was activated from the disabled list following Monday's game, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Adrianza has been ready to go, but the club decided to keep an extra reliever for Monday's series opener against the Angels. He has just 63 plate appearances in 26 games this year and will likely be used in a similarly sparse utility role going forward.

Manager Paul Molitor said Adrianza (abdomen) will be activated from the 10-day disabled list Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

While there was a possibility that Adrianza would return Monday, the Twins opted to keep an extra reliever on hand for their series opener against the Angels instead. The 27-year-old should return to his role as a little-used utility infielder upon his return.

Manager John Farrell said there's a "good chance" Bogaerts (groin) returns to the lineup Tuesday, Tim Britton of The Providence Journal reports.

This is good news for Bogaerts, who is set to miss his second straight game with a tight groin. "We're confident it's not a long term thing," Farrell said about the injury, indicating that Bogaerts likely won't be out long even if he is unable to return to the lineup Tuesday. Tzu-Wei Lin will continue to serve as the Red Sox's shortstop while Bogaerts remains out.
